Sold a bass to Simon yesterday, a true gent to deal with, paid promptly and all round good chap
Jack

And sold to jazzman Gavin, many thanks!
True gentleman, pleasure to deal with.
Jack

Bump. Reasonable offers considered.

Reason for sale: as a frustrated armchair bass player, this amp is a bit too powerful for my needs. My GK 200MB (100w) from 1986 is getting used more.

Cheers

Markbass CMD 121h combo. £450. Price adjusted to what the cmd121p seem to go for.
It's from July, 2009 and therefore made in Italy.
Comes with a Roqsolid cover and a Markbass bass keeper Velcro strap.

300w on its own and upgradable to 500w with an additional cab.

I'm in Dorset but can travel a bit to meet up etc.
Added photo, but it seems to be upside down!
Cheers
Jack

Thanks all.
I will check out the mojo blog man.

Fair comment twincam. But the huge difference in resistance between one pickup and the other is not right though is it?
One thing that concerns me greatly is that I got the bass for its original condition and I want to avoid affecting it's "purity". Mind you, if it doesn't work it needs fixing!
Jack

Can you suggest any reputable pickup hospitals?
Jack

More information.
Resistance across the left hand pickup was 5.6k
Resistance across the right hand pickup was 256k

Not good?

I got a '71 Precision bass last year (a trade on BC) and all was well. I picked it up the other day, plugged in and got no sound. I had to turn the amp up high before I could hear it.

Up until that point there was no issue with the signal.

What are the most sensible first tests to fault find? E.g.

If I measure the resistance of the pickup whilst it's solder to pots etc. What sort of reading would I expect?

Suggestions please.

Jack

Sold to Mdc (Mike) a true gent, pleasure doing business
Jack

Post apocalyptic bump!

I can be back in Stroud if you are interested, send me a PM.
Jack

Bump.

I have a trans red (3eq) for sale on here (don't know how to insert link) and it's not as bright in colour as the pic you posted. However, a photo taken in my back yard is going to be different to one taken in a studio under artificial lighting.
Jack

Still available after potential buyers dropped out or disappeared.
Jack

Cheers everyone.
I knew the first port of call should be BC
Jack

Thanks all,

Pompey is about an hour and a half by car for me, Exeter is probably the same.
Funnily enough I bought a '72 precision from Don Strikes in about 1985, £185, you don't get them for that price any more!

Absolute music was my first thought but don't want great expense! Although I did PM the chap from Poole.
Anybody been to guitar mania?

Jack

Cheers, I'd not seen that list before.
There's a name and a location that I'll contact today.
Thanks
Jack

Can anyone recommend a person or shop who sets up/tweaks basses in Dorset?
I think they have a workshop at Absolute music but is there anyone else?

I need a bit of set up work/truss rod tweaking on a few basses (70s P, 80s J)

Cheers
Jack

Go on Damon, just do it!!!

No love for this bass then?
Bump.

No, oiled neck.
Does anyone know when MM started to use oil?
Jack

Can you not see them Smurfitt? They are visible to me.
Jack

New pictures.

Bump!

There seems to be no love for the mighty Stingray at the moment. Why is this?
