US Hamer Chapparal project here. White/cream. No hardware. £170 BIN plus £75 shipping. Seller is based in Ohio, USA.

Wife has instigated a strict one in one out bass policy otherwise I think it would be winging its way here...should cost more than another £100 to get it up and running.

I owned #222 for a while. It was a stunning bass. Weighed a ton, but stunning. Throw up some photos.
P

Lovely. VERY pretty bass.

I've never really been a Rickenbacker fan and couldn't quite put my finger on why their basses failed to ignite any passion in me. After about thirty years, I think it all came down to the [standard/white] scratchplate and how it cheapened the look of an otherwise classic piece of bass design. The black scratchplate on this just makes everything look right and I feel a bit of GAS coming on. Soon, but not yet.

Good luck with the sale.

I bought a Gator 4U rack a few months ago, model #GR-4L. Unbeknown to me at the time is that it was a deep one (or [i]standard [/i]as described on the Gator site); I'd really like a 4U shallow one - a GR-4S (or similar), the one I have is now up for sale. £40? I'm near Reading, Berkshire.

Standard:



Great condition.

Gone pending the usual.

Fender Geddy Lee Signature Jazz bass for sale.

Currently fitted with a single ply black scratchplate (the white original plate is at home somewhere), new D'Addario Pro-steels and Dunlop Straploks. It lives in a Gator hardcase.

[b]Very[/b] decent condition (I've hardly used it), no discernible bucklerash or anything.

Takeaway price £600 ovno, no trades, sorry. Would prefer collection (Reading, Berkshire), will ship, but you'd need to cover shipping costs.

You know you want this.

Thanks

I always found the SD to be too whumpy when I had my old '79. I put a Wizard in and it was much more controllable.

Presently the combination of a Geddy Lee signature (so I guess stock Fender units) and the Sansamp BDDI is kind of lovely...dirt by the sackload and very controllable. Couldn't recommend the pedal more.

A bit old school in these times, but I have a silver Arcam DV78 DVD player that I need to move on. Multi-region player, great CD spinner, plays CD/MP3. Very light use. Remote and manual. It's a tidy upgrade for maybe a spare room. I paid about £650 for it a few years ago...£125.00 shipped?



P

The Thumb SC has to be one of the ugliest basses I've seen in a while.

P

I posted a photoshopped mock up of the JO 3TB/blocks both here and direct to Lakland about a year ago and then again on the LOG quite recently and hey presto! there it is. I'm not a fan of sunbursts, but it looks very nice. Anyone want to buy my Bongo 5HH?

P

While this isn't a GAS thing (and despite the fact I'm really not a fan of guitars that look like furniture), I'd have to say I always had a soft/hard spot for the Thunderbird(s) that Spector did for Nikki Sixx:



...and these look beautiful:


and the Roscoe bass on the attached thumbnail.

Have them sent round to my place when you've got a minute Sarah.

P

Me likey. I've never seen a product like this before (I guess I've never been that concerned about effects pedals until I got one at Christmas either). Every gear box should have one.

[quote name='Jamesemt' post='710131' date='Jan 12 2010, 04:00 PM']Here we have for sale a completely unused and unfitted Mighty Mite Jazz neck. Rosewood.

Also includes a set of tuners...will post pictures up later for anyone thats interested.

The logo has had a light coat of nitro - but would require more coats and sanding to make it look original.

Obviously as new - no holes drilled at all.

£90 delivered[/quote]

From experience with two MM necks, the holes for the machine head ferrules always seem to come up a bit small and may need enlarging...do they fit?

I was trying to put a lot more angst on my original post, but my wife needed to get to Argos for 10.00am this morning. I've calmed down somewhat since.

Personally I can't stand Mr Clayton; everything from that smug [i]'have-you-trodden-in-some-dogshit-because-I-haven't'[/i] look on his face in [i]every [/i]picture, right along to his one dimensional duh-duh-duh playing. To confirm what jezzaboy posted earlier he was/is regularly derided by his own band for being incapable of even clapping in time. But hey, as I've said before, he's a multi-millionaire and I still work in an office. Ho hum. What do I know, eh?

P

Trawling through Thomann and saw this:



Holy crap. WTF? Sometimes you have to question where bass-manufacturers's heads are at.

P

A few years back I tried out a drummer for a band I was putting together. For the record, we were both raised in the same locality and although I didn't know the guy first hand, we had some mutual friends from our teens and I knew some of his mates from that period. He also employed a mate of mine for a while about ten years ago. We jammed just the once; he was a good player but it didn't work out.

The story he recounted to me affirmed a rumour that had been doing the rounds donkey's years back that involved a reasonably famous celebrity couple and their son, the aforementioned Ms. Millington and one of the son's friends. 'Richard' was the friend. As soon as he told me the story, I sat there, beer in hand wide eyed and slack jawed.

That's all you're getting.
P

I have a degree of bias, but Hartke.

Nice lot.

Where did you get the record frames BTW?

[quote name='Johngh' post='702763' date='Jan 6 2010, 12:57 PM']I've just bought back my Fender Jazz 75 re-issue.

On the headstock below the Jazz logo it says Made In Japan. On the back of the neck near the bottom where the neck fits into the body it says Crafted in Japan.

So, which is it ?[/quote]

It's Japanese. Crafted/Made=same thing. Same as the Aerodyne editions.
P

[quote name='skankdelvar' post='702331' date='Jan 5 2010, 11:49 PM']That's nothing. I met Mary Millington in 1978 and she was one of the most gifted women I have ever met. I was so taken aback with her talent that I [i]personally[/i] commissioned a hand-job from her, the last one she ever administered.[/quote]

I have a jaw-dropping story about the late Ms. Millington that to this day leaves me wide-eyed when I think about it. It's way too naughty to produce here.
P

I remember seeing photos of this a while back, thought it looked sweet and actually considered going a similar route on my DJ5 (same model).

Tone is a very personal thing - I have a love/hate thing with my Bongo, sounds nice at home, good in the studio, but live/loud I find it difficult to control - can you be a bit more specific about what you consider wrong with the sound? The combination of Nordstrand and Lakland should be, on paper at least, a dynamite combination.

P

[quote name='andy.' post='697396' date='Dec 31 2009, 06:10 PM']So how much do you think it would cost?[/quote]

We have a paint/body shop about 100 yards from my office. When I was trying to put together a Thunderbird project, they simply asked me what colour I wanted ('black gloss') and said if I could supply the body rubbed down, they'd charge me a flat £50.00 to prime and spray it next time they had a black job in. Sweet. In this day and age, you don't need to pay hundreds. A bit of elbow grease plus time and patience works a treat. Phone some garages.
