    25 yrs old (ish) Jonas Hellborg Sounds of Sweden bass, Passive, loads of groove kudos, plays beautiful and a great range of tones through the Shadow pick ups - see video below. I think Jonas played Wals a lot therefore maybe some Wal influence in this bass...then again maybe its nothing like a Wal. Either way this truly is a great bass and is wasted on a simple 3-4 note reggae playing geeza like moi despite it probably being the best sounding bass i've played in a while......it also has 27 frets and to be honest i don't think i've hardly ever gone past the 10th fret - i'm too lazy to practice too . This bass is clearly more suitable to a jazzer/fusion/funky/ super talented type. Here is a funky ass funk Jonas super talented virtuoso playing the same type of bass but black : [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oh_Z1kt5iR4"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oh_Z1kt5iR4[/url] I'm led to believe that mine is very rare being a natural colour unlike the black one in the vid. Info/ geek spec on the bass here from a previous seller [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=89402&hl=hellborg"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=...amp;hl=hellborg[/url] & some pics. More pictures here: [url="https://picasaweb.google.com/Mr.LeeStone/JonasHellborgSignatureBass?pli=1#5595140977875105794"]https://picasaweb.google.com/Mr.LeeStone/Jo...140977875105794[/url] Trades, well looking for something like a good P bass or a Warwick of some description....4's or 5's - a five jazz possibly or w.h.y. Quite happy to keep this quirky bass if nothing suitable comes up but would rather it go to someone who will do it justice and play them 27 frets....this bass needs playing Happy to do postage or come and play for yourself. Plymouth based.

    I'm using a Boss LS-2, i have a Boss multi FX ME-6 on the separate loop and blend both the bass sound and a synth sound from the multi fx for that phat Mad Professor dubsynth sound. Just for extra effect i use a wah back just before the return on the LS2 and control the filter of the synth...bloody phat and great techno bass sounds too but the great thing with the LS is that you can set the level of bass to effected bass sound so i can maintain the phat natural dub bass sound. Really rate the LS-2 for its price.

    Hi, selling this project bass that i've done in order to fund another. It is a nice Squire neck with a Fender decal done rather well on a nice aged cream 90's Hohner Professional range Jazz body with the Hohner electronics inside. The neck has had 'Mother of pearl' block stickers added to good effect, these are easily removable (not all are exact positioning but it looks good IMO). I was going to change the pick ups for some Fender ones but i was very impressed with the Hohners as they have a really good range and a mid 'growl/honk' - good jazz bass sounds in other words. All in all nice cheap Jazz bass, plays well, intonation is brilliant and the action is low without buzzes - looks nice & plays nice too. Has D'addrio strings fitted, can put used flats on if you prefer. [url="https://picasaweb.google.com/Mr.LeeStone/JazzBass?feat=directlink"]Pictures here[/url] How's £160 posted, £150 collected or may trade for maple P neck (All parts, Mighty might etc + cash either way) Softcase or tattyish hard case extra £10 Also have a Fender Jazz ashtray £10 if interested for this bass, it's not been fitted to date.

    Great quality basses these, i had the LPB but sold it on to make funds for something else - would definitely be tempted for another.

    [quote name='Rasta' post='1087787' date='Jan 13 2011, 11:49 AM']Bought the most amazing Musicman ray off Mick, a diamond gentleman to deal with. Buyers can buy in confidence. Thanks Mick [/quote] And i promised Mick i would give him first refusal if i was to re sell the bass in the future. Well i did just that and Mick bought the bass back hassle free. A lovely reunion for Mick, and am glad the Musicman enjoyed its short vacation to Devon. Micks a top guy and easy to deal with, buyers & sellers can trust him with confidence.

    [quote name='nick' post='1168968' date='Mar 19 2011, 10:38 PM']That's lovely, like it! Here's mine - very happy with how it turned out. [/quote] That looks lovley Nick - loving the pickguard combo, how well does it play? I'm really chuffed with mine as the set up was relatively painless, i shimmed the neck with a business card and the action is now superb and the intonation is great too. I ended buying a relic squire body the other day so P bitsa 2 could be happening very soon....oh dear this could become a new obsession

    I've bought it, a few days ago - just waitng on arrival

    A good thread from the OP : I have to say i've come full circle having tried LOTS of basses over the last few years, some expensive, in a search for 'the one' & 'my sound'. I'm now settling on building my own which so far has been the most satisying and dare i say the most 'settling'. My bitsa jazz has a nice 70's thick Allparts neck & some Lindy Fralins...i've built it out of bits and have been hard pushed to find a better playing or sounding jazz IMO. My recent project is a P bass which started life as a Sue Ryder bass, with the mods totalling around £200 i've struggled to find a better playing P (apart from expensive old ones)...but the point is you can be happy on a budget i guess. Although i have found since i've been getting into 'bitsa' basses my collection is building again from 3 to 6 with 2 more potensial bitsas on their way I can here the wifey now "you only have one pair of hands etc etc....yawn yawn yawn"

    [quote name='hellothere' post='1162612' date='Mar 15 2011, 12:15 AM']Nice, just got some on ebay for £15 brand new. I'm going to try them out either in my Squire P-bass or maybe the Sue Ryder.[/quote] Let me know how you get on as a i'm thinking of getting some for a second P bitsa project i'm about to start. As say I was realy impressed with the ones i put in a VMJ in the past, prefered them over the Duncan design piuckups and for £20 ,for the jazz bass, they were a steal. I also fitted some to a friends grieftar years ago and he was really impressed over the stock Fender PU's too.

    Haha cool, we cover both those tracks (no surprise there), The first Truth & rights riddim is great fun to play great tune Andy & Baby I Love you so Jacob Miller (Check the King Tubby meets rockers uptown version) - love playing this too Infact just remembered this, here's moi cheese trying out my vid thing on my mac however it makes me look left handed when i'm right, excuse the sh*te playing (i think i was hungover IIRC), may help some one work it out though if they want to: Check dem moobs, gotta diet one day!!!!
  24. Raslee
    I had some on a Jazz which, i think i got of the pickups on ebay for £20, i was really impressed with them.
  25. Raslee
    Yes i would be very interested in the neck/tuners & possibly the bridge - possibly the pick ups too depending on prices as funds are getting low, PM if your go ahead
