  1. I've got a white BB425, awesome basses! I want a 424 now!
  2. Time for a bumption
  3. It's somewhere between the two, not as wide as my P bass but then not as thin as my 62RI jazz at the nut. The neck pocket is fender size and is a nice tight fit in the body. Just measured with a tape measure, the nut is about 40mm with the rear profile being more flat jazz like rather than my chunky P, but not as skinny as my jazz. Hope that helps, I can take more pics of the neck if you like...although am off to work now so will be later this eve/tomorrow.
  4. [quote name='alyctes' timestamp='1343234581' post='1747535'] That's a pretty fretless I wonder what I could get rid of - I have too many basses. Let me have a think. [/quote] Not only does it look pretty but more importantly it plays and sounds beautiful with very low action...i preferred this Hohner neck over a Fender fretless which is why i have had it for sometime...but i to have too many basses and that fretless day isn't happening for me (yet!)...althoughif it doesn't sell/trade then i will not be unhappy to keep it
  5. An evening bump, no interest they're both cracking basses and the fretless will not disappoint
  6. Interested in a swap for my 51 RI P bass ? [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/182396-fsft-fender-precision-51-ri-lpb-hohner-professionalfender-bitsa-fretless/"]http://basschat.co.uk/topic/182396-fsft-fender-precision-51-ri-lpb-hohner-professionalfender-bitsa-fretless/[/url]
  7. [quote name='Mickeyboro' timestamp='1343060494' post='1744552'] The Telebass was once mine - wish I could afford to buy it back. [/quote] Yeah its still pretty much immaculate too
  8. Forgot to mention the fretless has some funky old school capacitor thing in the electric's giving an even better tone.
  9. [quote name='Old Horse Murphy' timestamp='1342987664' post='1743557'] I love that 51 Reissue [/quote] Yeah it is nice isn't it, can't fault it really but just feel it isn't me. More tecno info on the bass here from Fender Japan - [url="http://www.fenderjapan.co.jp/opb51-sd.html"]http://www.fenderjapan.co.jp/opb51-sd.html[/url]
  10. If playing with my soul outfit i love playing Dusty's version of 'Son of a preacher man' - it's like a kind of stoned line, if playing reggae i quite like 'Johnny be Good' Peter Tosh version & if playing Ska then 'Ghost town' is good fun. Must confess to getting into my blues/jazz walking though at the mo and really enjoying 'Zoot suit riot' by the Cherry poppin Daddies...i don't play it note for note though.... i just do my own walk...with a few trips on the way (not the LSD type btw)

    I love my BB414

    I'm loving my recently acquired BB425 from Telebass off here. I haven't got a bad word to say about these basses...quite the opposite. I was pleasantly shocked at just about everything about the bass - plays beautiful, low action, looks great, extremely well built, perfect intonation, and awesome tone too. The neck profile reminds me of a few Lakland 5ers that i've past owned so that was a nice surprise also. I feel the GAS looming which often makes me think i should get a matching 424 - hmmm one needs money!!!. On my 425 the P pick up, with the current TI flats that are on it, makes for a killer dub/reggae tone which is ultimately what this bass is being used for, very chuffed with these basses... definitely one of Yamaha's jewel in the budget crown.
  12. Just sold my bitsa P bass to Kert. Despite crappy Royal mail taking eons to deliver it finally got delivered and Kert was cool all along with there slow delivery- much appreciated. Enjoy the bass matey. Buyers & sellers can deal in total confidence, a credit to basschat
  13. Recently bought some Wizard 64's Jazz PU's off Donny. True gent, great comms all round...recommend -cheers matey.
  14. Have just done a cash/trade for Den's lovely BB425 Yamaha Bass. Totally top fellow all round & he even came around to deliver the bass pre his gig - brilliant!...Thankfully from not too far away though . Totally in love with the bass, in fact i'm quite blown away how good it actually is...will the fenders be taking a back seat???...ahem! . Anyhow, big thumbs up from me, buyers & sellers can deal in total confidence
  15. Yeah man, bitsa Jazz, love it! Anyhow Precision bitsa is now gone, thanks for interest folks
  16. I guess yeah. £250 posted with gig bag sound reasonable?
  17. Need a 5 string for a new project. Anything considered, preference to jazz passive types. So onto my trade bait, my home assembled Bitsa P, well i think its a rather decent spec which cost me around the £300 mark to do, i guess i value it somewhere around there ish:[list] [*]Nice light relic body, nothing scary! Not sure of origin, think its alder but not 100%...certainly not ply crap. [*]Might mighty, Lic by Fender maple neck with 70's decal added by the supplier, lightly varnished...was planning to get an aged tint but not got around to it. [*]Proper 70's cream Dimarzio pick up with adjustable pole pieces...good piece of proper vintage kit this. [*]Some vintage wiring loom from B/C's genius Kiogon with some old school russian capacitor thing, gives good tone. [*]Aged P knobs (dull crome) [*]Quality Schaller tuners. [*]Decent bridge, not sure of origin. [*]Fender neck plate. [/list] This is a great players Precision bass and plays lovely with low action. I've obviously gone for a 70's replica ish look bar the change of better pick up, which is actually from the 70's. There was a small gap in the neck pocket on assembly which i shimmed with card, nothing to drastic but it keeps it tight. I will miss this as we have bonded quite well but admittedly I tend to play my thinner neck 4 string basses these days. However i needs a 5 string for some heavy dub coming up! Obviously its the right one in the pic below. There are some more detailed pics in this link but when it had a previous pick up prior to the now fitted cream Dimarzio.

  18. What would i do??? Call the A team!!! ....i'll get my coat ...although on a serious note my band is in a similar situation. Once deps starting coming along though the main culprit is quick to want to be back in the driving seat
  19. You wanna bad riddim fe mi woman - check English Girl by Sister Audrey/ Mad Professor...Vibronics did a version too. Great fun on the bass-bad ass riddim. NoNoNo a classic, Dawn Penn. but if you want a real queen then try Tanya Stephens, Eteana, Tami Chynn, Kelis (Trick me always goes down well!) , Queen Omega, Rita Marley, TOK etc. some sweet riddims out there for the ladies
  20. In no particular order: Roly Wynne (Ozrics) Mike Howlett (Gong) Jaco Aston Barrett Bootsy Stanley Clarke Tommy Cogbill Lloyd Brevett James Jamerson Flabba Holt
  21. Lakland DJ5 or JO5
  22. Wow so glad i read this. I was so close to considering buying a 70's Fender black jazz for £500 in Penzance, which is about a 90min drive for me. I emailed the guy who sent me more pics and offered postage rather than driving. I felt this is too good to be true and trusted my gut feeling...i did not maintain communication and bought a jazz of here instead which i now own proudly. Maybe i had a close miss...phew!
  23. Blimey £50, i'm in Plymouth and would have taken this off your hands....could do with a 4x10!
