ON HOLD Having a clear out and it's time to move on the lounge bass, if not sold as is then I may part out (PM if interested) - Price is reduced to £150not £200 Lets start with the good bits: Very nice Lakland jazz width neck, plays great, not hipshot but similar style tuners. Seymour Duncan Quarter pounder pick up. Varitone control (switches to different tones, quite handy). Flea neck plate. Perfect lightweight at 7.4lbs The not so good bits: Indent on fret board, 4th fret G-string - don't be put off though as to be honest it does not effect the play ability at all, probably fixable but it never bothered me - see pic. The pick-guard cavity is larger that the pick-guard holes by the controls so have used long screws to the wood. The string thru is a bit messy on the rear but functions. The Lakland neck is 62mm heal, whereas the body is 64.5mm therefore there are side gaps between the neck and body. With all the above said it plays really nice with a low action and I have gigged this bass a few times and really enjoyed it - especially the weight, great tones to be had with the varitone and with a fast jazz width neck on a precision style bass..... whats not to like?! £180 seems a good price to me, + £20 postage in the UK or collection from Plymouth. Shipping is likely to be more if overseas.

I have a 44-64, not one from the GuitarGuitar deal, a white and tort/rosewood with blocks......absolute Fender killer IMO... love mine 😉 -
Your best (and worst!) bass gear purchases of 2018?
Raslee replied to Al Krow's topic in General Discussion
Best purchase was recently on here, 2013 Musicman Sabre Classic. Always wanted a bit more versatility than the Stingray and this has it in bucket load and it is totally sexy too....love it! Worst purchase, box of plectrums....I’ve tried & tried but I just can’t get on with a pick for sh*t...25 years of fingers is too established. -
Check out a MM Sabre Classic...best of all worlds 😎

With extension cab. Very loud on it's own though too.

Finally did a rehearsal with it, very impressed and great tone

lightweight combo, tilted, recommendations?
Raslee replied to skidder652003's topic in Amps and Cabs
Behold, £14 Stagg amp stand and Fender Stage Rumble 800....it can indeed be tilted, just a pain to get to the controls if not already preset...but easily rectified using presets via the accompanying footswitch 😜 -

Yes Tim t'is lovely mate. I keep considering withdrawing as it's one of those basses that's worth more to keep than it is to sell if you know what i mean, i absolutely love the neck and the low action available. It's outlasted several basses i've owned due it's shear quality build and comfortable playability but i now find myself using a Sabre or Warwick which suits the music that i'm currently doing better. I won't be upset if it doesn't sell though and I don't really need to sell it now that I've sold 2 of the above 3 but it will make someone very happy for the price...... and well i fancy a change -
I've got a Stage 800 and i think it's bl**dy marvelous for the money, admittedly still in the honeymoon period 3 weeks in but i'm liking the bells & whistles a lot. Great digital convenience and decent tones available and fairly easy to use once you've done the manual - if you've got a smart phone you'll love it as you can make amp patches up on your phone to try out. Still yet to gig it but it's on the cards....unbelievably my Genzler Magellan aka simply the best amp known to humankind has quietly taken a back seat for now. Here was my first impressions

Many thanks. Forgot to add this is a light Musician by comparison to others I've played, about the same as a typical MM Stingray, only 10.4lbs on decent digital scales. Last 20hrs on eBay folks for the Ibby Musician - if your considering it send me a PM, it's a beautiful player Also by request are some pics of the VanderEnd showing the 'under the hood' past mods (not me I hasten to add). Just bloody cracked the P pickguard too in taking it off 😭 but it's still perfectly functional. Will knock some £'s off off for this and it's easy enough to get another made if necessary. It's had a hard life of electrical mods this bass but it's a cracking high end bass, leagues ahead of Fenders and sounds and plays superb. https://www.icloud.com/sharedalbum/#B0gGnbeumGvkIki -
Hopefully not, but it is like having a computer in your amp - surprisingly easy though to get to grips with. Very impressed with mine so far and am using it in a rock/grunge band. Bought a £13 Stagg amp stand and it’s a perfect tilt now. The Fender 800 is not for the faint hearted but it’s a very rewarding journey and well worth it once you take the plunge.
