    [quote name='yepmop' timestamp='1432056441' post='2777670'] +1 for the Fender 62 Pups (original) and a set of La Bella Deep talkin flats [/quote] +2 I replaced the pickup in my '08 USA P-bass with one of those, and it much improved the sound (to me) - a bit clearer, more defined. I then strung it up with some La Bella's too - such a good combo, I've just bought another vintage pickup for another bass!

    Bought a pickup from Ash, was sent promptly & well packed - very happy customer, definitely recommended! Cheers

    I had one of those, but had to return it to the shop as the bridge cover was put on wonky (how it got past QC I don't know). Was absolutely gutted - was probably the nicest Jazz I've ever played. The '64 I got instead I didn't get on with as well GLWTS!

    Picked up Simon's Mesa walkabout head on Friday. I asked if I could borrow a couple of cables, but he hadn't read the message & I forgot to mention them when I picked it up. He then read my message & drove to where I was practicing to drop them off for me! Another top transaction, deal with confidence folks

    Might have been tempted if it was a 4 string! Nevermind... GLWTS

    Just sold my Lakland DJ4 to Ben - the above comments about great communications & smooth transactions are exactly right. He asked a few (sensible) questions before agreeing to meet to make sure we weren't wasting each others time. Met halfway and was a pleasure to meet & chat with - could quite happily have sat there & chatted for hours, if I didn't have work to do! Enjoy the bass!

    I don't suppose you're able to do a sound sample of the spark booster? I'm interested in one but can't find any clips from bassists using it. No probs if not!

    Hey, not your fault! Another bump, will get round to photos tonight - promise!
  13. smaz
    Aye, Laklands are fantastic basses! Bump - photos will follow soon!

    For sale, one rather beautiful Lakland DJ4 in Lake Placid Blue w/ Maple fretboard & matching headstock. I bought this off here about a month ago from Karlfer to try and get back into Jazz basses, but I just can't - I'm a P-bass guy & it looks like it's staying that way. If anything was going to convert me it would be this, as I love my Lakland Duck Dunn. This is a beautiful bass, but alas won't get a look in over my JV Squire P. From the original ad: [color=red][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Lakland[/font][/color][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif] DJ 4,Korean, 2007, before they switched to Indonesia. £650.[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Couple of little nicks on headstock, one near rear straplock. Rarer maple fretboard.[/font][/color] I paid £650 inc. delivery, so I'm looking for the same - £650, delivered within the UK. It will come with a strap, and a Fender gig bag - has 2 busted zips but will be fine for shipping. Collection & trial welcome in Basingstoke. Local meetup/delivery may be possible too. Any questions please ask! More photos to come.

    Bought a Lakland Daryl Jones from Karl - once again excellent comms, the bass was packed well enough to survive being dropped into a war zone & is in fantastic condition, exactly as described. A pleasure!

    Damnit, that'd go lovely with my Duck Dunn... I've got a couple of empty beer cans & the box for a tuner if that's any good?!

    Give me one reason - Trqcy Chapman. Cracking tune - I think Joe Bonamassa covers it in a bluesy way. Look Over Yonders Wall - again, Joe Bonamassa style but can be quite funky!

    Now that is how you photograph a bass for sale. Looks beautiful! GLWTS.

    Used to be mine - absolutely cracking bass, practically played itself. Only reason I sold it was to get another Lakland! Easily as good as, if not better, than my US precision. GLWTS.

    I only ever take one cab, but the rest is as live as its all I have. I've considered getting a small combo for rehearsals. I think taking smaller gear & playing quieter is much better & more productive than taking stuff to make as much noise as possible, as you're then just fighting to hear each other & focussing more on the sound than the song, the parts & what you're playing. Once we've worked the majority out, then it's worth doing a full practice in a rehearsal room with all the equipment. It does my head in when I have to wait for others to set up & tweak their gear for ages....

    So we've just been told there's no drum kit at the gig we're playing tonight & we're 4 hours away from home. Does anyone have a basic kit they can donate for the evening? We're playing at the Thirsty Scholar. We have cymbals / snare etc. PM me if you might be able to help! Cheers
