Annoying things people say to musicians
jezzaboy replied to musicbassman's topic in General Discussion
Someone always says "you should hear my mate singing, she`s great!" Usually a drunk woman. I blame X factor, Mickie Most and Hughie Green. All Ba*tards! -
NOW SOLD 2019 Fender Player Mustang Bass PJ Sienna Sunburst for sale only. The condition of the bass is as new, can`t find a mark on it. As you can see from the photo`s, the neck pocket is nice and tight, the colour is beautiful, the neck is gloss on the front and satin on the back. No fret wear. I have fitted a Gotoh Japan bridge as I find them a better option than the BBOT - original included. At the moment the bass is fitted with GHS flats at a cost of £33 and I have a set of D`Addario rounds that have had hardly any playing time that I will throw in as well. The bass weighs 3.6 kg or 7.9 lb`s. I`m looking for £400 shipped insured to the UK mainland only, I will not ship to anywhere else, payment by bank transfer only. If you want to collect I will knock off the postage cost. I am in Paisley just outside Glasgow and would travel for a meet up within reason. Specs: Made in Mexico Alder body "C" shaped neck 30 " scale Vintage style pickups- 1 reply

Loving that Lionel short scale. I was close to hitting the buy button on the white one in Bass direct but I`m on a Jazzish trip at the moment and instead bought a TM 4 in blackburst, Delano`s, split coil option, the complete opposite to the Lionel really! It feels good to be back in the Sandberg camp again, the feel and shape of the neck is perfect for me and Holger is such a cool dude that he makes me want to own one of his products. Should be here next Tuesday or Wednesday. Just need to sell other things to pay for it now

Due to buying something Jazzish from our favourite German builder, the bass is now for sale only. Looking for £900 which is a decent price as they retail for £1279 in Guitarguitar and they come only with a gig bag and not the hard case. -
Holger reckons that the Sandberg ones are the lightest ones available as they are made from aircraft aly. Don`t know the cost of them mind.

No problem to post to Leicester

Good score there. Personally I have come to realise that I don`t get on with MFD pickups, far too hot so the pickups in this would be ideal.

Pino Style from the heart of Leo for a bargain price. What more could you ask for?** **Answers on a postcard to the usual address.

Keep the Ibanez, it`s one of the best basses in it`s price range. Tanglewood are not know for great basses. Apart from that you will be lucky to get around £80 for the Ibby. Shops will only give you half of what they can sell the bass for. I know you say you don`t want the hassle of selling but depending on condition, you could get £130 ish. Another shout for Yamaha BB, at the price point you are looking at, it is a very strong contender. Buy one s/hand from here and you won`t go wrong. Or buy a new BB 234 from the shops.

NOW GONE Sorry for any confusion. -
Lovely. Those Smith basses are one of the few boutique type basses that I would like to own.
-
If any potential buyer is not keen on the Tone switch, I will replace it with a normal wiring loom from Kiogon. This would take a few days to sort out. I would solder the original one back in but I`m rubbish at soldering! Thanks for all the nice comments posted above 👍

I can maybe see an Electra TT, black and maple on the horizon. Are the Electras decent basses?

NOW SOLD Now for sale only £800 Made in Fullerton (on Fender avenue no less) this is their Deluxe version of their Standard P bass. Due to the ongoing carry on, this hasn`t been out the house since buying it. Regarding the condition, as you can see from the photos it is in exc condition. The only thing worthy of note is there is a small blemish on the front above the pickgaurd, it`s about an inch long and it doesn`t show up in a photograph and it can only be seen by tilting the bass into the light, the finish is intact. There is a small scratch above the tone knob but again it is hardly visible. The scratchplate had a bit of stick plastic to protect it and it was so sticky, I had to use a green pad to remove the glue residue so the finish on the plate is dull but looks fine. The bass is fitted with one of Kiogon`s Tone switch which is a 4 position switch and as usual with John`s kit, is excellent. The original loom is in the case should you want to re fit it. Specs: PICKUPS: One G&L vintage split-coil Alnico pickup BODY WOOD: Alder Bodies NECK WOOD: Vintage Tint Satin Hard Rock Maple with Caribbean Rosewood NECK PROFILE: G&L 1 5/8" Medium C with 9 1/2" radius FRETS: Medium Jumbo, Jescar 57110 18% nickel silver TUNING KEYS: Custom G&L "Ultra-Lite" with aluminum tapered string posts BRIDGE: G&L Saddle Lock with chrome-plated brass saddles ELECTRONICS: One volume control, one tone control CASE: G&L case The nut with is 42mm and the weight is 4.1 kg or 9.1 lb`s. Fitted with a new set of GHS Boomers. Any offers by pm please.

I bought a new 70`s Classic Vibe Jazz and a Mustang bass earlier this year and they were spot on. I think you will find that some people have bought great basses and others aren`t so great. Much better if you can check them out yourself before parting with your cash. Apart from the fact that the tuners on the Mustang appeared to be made of cheese. Gorgonzola if I remember correctly......
-
Kenny`s is always worth a look as sometimes they have great deals on various brands, usually Cort and Yamaha.

Whilst looking out the parts for Matti, I found the 1100s neck plate which is very clean and shiny. If it is any good to anyone pm me your details and I will post it out to you. After checking the P pickup, the surround wont fit but if Matti can un solder the pickups then he can turn them round and re solder them and Bobs yer funny auntie.
-
Well guess what I happen to have kicking about The pickups are from a Jap BB 1100s and even though the P pickup is the usual way round, I`m sure putting it on the other way would work. Might need to extend the wire? I`m selling Matti the tuners so I will send him a pm.

I think that you offered me your original pickguard when I was moving on my Mike D Gav, many moons ago! They are cracking basses but the one I had weighed a bloomin ton. It was bought on here, I think I swapped it for a 60`s Jazz and moved it on after a while. Another one I regret moving on and seeing this one with a Status neck puts me right in the mood for another one.
-
Dubjukie gigs with 2 of these cabs with a TC head and says the set up works well. Why not drop him a pm?
-
They have a few shops up here but I remember asking the guy at the time why it was so cheap, I thought they might be B stock or similar but he said that Yamaha tend to use them to get rid of excess stock and they punt it out for a good price. If you are looking for something they are always worth a look. They have some cheap Corts at the moment as well. Not that I bought one
-
Can`t remember the bit about the volume pot, playing in a rock band the volume goes up as far as it can 👍 I don`t remember it being very heavy, I tend to remember the heavy ones. I got me from Kenn`y Music in Glasgow for the cracking price of £300 new. I gigged it that weekend then sold soon after, god knows why. It was a lovely black one and looked a lot better once I removed that daft creamish colour scratchplate.

I think that you have nailed it. I once played a support slot years ago and it was "for charity" and I found out that everyone was getting a slice of the money except us

How much music do you actually listen to?
jezzaboy replied to TheGreek's topic in General Discussion
Whilst driving my truck, I mostly listen to LBC or Talksport on my fitted DAB radio or when someone comes on I don`t like, I stick on the music on my phone. At home it`s Youtube, I very rarely put on cd`s even though I own six or seven hundred of the things and they are sitting on the shelves right beside me. It`s just so much easier to listen to Youtube playlists. I listen to more and a bigger selection of music than any time in my life!
