  1. There's some conjecture dependent on how you're using this as to whether the nut needs reslotting. I used it as a baritone for a while and as it came with a set of roundwound Fender Bass VI strings (92-25) I decided to give it a go with these a few weeks ago. The nut certainly hasn't needed any attention and as the bass strings as fairly low tension it's been unecessary to tweak the truss rod either.

  2. Any interest in one of these? Black sparkle ([i]very [/i]sparkly), bolt on maple neck, Bigsby tremolo. Great condition.

    I used it for a while as a baritone (long scale, tuned B-B...twangy) and currently it's set up in a Bass VI configuration (shortscale bass, tuned E-F...also twangy, but in a bass stylee). It's not been out of the house since I got it.

    For some reason it didn't have a pick guard when I bought it, the seller had taken it off and promised to find it and forward, but it didn't happen. I'm sure you could source one online, but to be honest it never bothered me that it was missing (but hey, I would say that wouldn't I?).

    I guess I'd take £275 for it.

    There's no gig bag or anything - sorry.

  3. I've got a Boss BR600. On-board mics are a little patchy, but plug in a couple and it's great. As a bonus we tracked everything for our recent demos on it before dropping everything onto a PC. Cracking bit of kit, easy to use etc. The only downside is that the maximum CF card size is stupid small, but this hasn't been an issue (yet).

    Thanks for the information. I'm sourcing a couple of things at the moment and one of their basses worked out about £115 cheaper than Thomann (which is my usual benchmark).

    Any indication that they added any taxes on top of the advertised price? I saw they add a smallish percentage for credit card/PayPal payments.

    Cheers

  5. I know there's appreciating classics and there's junk, but £200+. I seem to remember these being on sale exclusively at Woolworths in the 1970s for about £20.00.

  6. If you're interested in Tom Peterssons rig/sound you may find this interesting...just the first few minutes should suffice. He pretty much dumped the Reeves/Rickenbacker backline in favour of a Sansamp BDDI/Orange set up. Interesting stuff. Great tone.

  7. [color=#000000]I have my Lakland Skyline DJ5 up for sale - £900 shipped. [/color]

    [color=#000000]It's finished in b[/color][color=#000000]lack sparkle, maple neck/rosewood board/with pearl blocks. Dunlop straplocks (I’ll supply the strap fittings at well), OHSC. Pretty much minty barring a tiny circular surface chip (c.2mm across - see last photo). The pickguard is a replacement Jeannies, great fit, no additional holes (I have the original three ply white pickguard somewhere which I'll dig out if a buyer wants it). I don't know whether the pickups are Aeros, Fralins or Lakland (if someone would care to enlighten me, I'd be please to check).[/color]

    [color=#000000]Soundwise, I’m obviously going to say it’s huge, aren’t I? You know these basses well enough. I used it on two of my recent recordings which you can find here: [/color][url="http://www.nancyjohnson.co.uk/"][color=#0000FF]www.nancyjohnson.co.uk[/color][/url][color=#000000] ([i]Staying In[/i] was clean/straight into the recorder and [i]The Boy Just Loves (Being a Girl) [/i]was through a Sansamp BDDI).[/color]

    [color=#000000]Why am I selling? Twofold. I guess primarily I’m really just not playing five stringers at all and haven't done so in some time - I moved on a Bongo 5HH a couple of months back - plus, I have my eye on a NR Gibson Thunderbird reissue due at the end of October.[/color]

    [color=#000000]It's a beautiful bass. Any questions, give me a shout.[/color]

    [color=#000000]Cheers[/color]
