    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.

    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!

    Blimey £50, i'm in Plymouth and would have taken this off your hands....could do with a 4x10!

    I've had to cancel a festival appearance ( Jubilee relates) due to tonsilitus ....gutted

    Mine is vol vol tone tone. I actually love a combination of tone rolled off on the bridge but full on the neck...the wizard trads I got sound great too. The passive wiring was done by basschatter Kiogon, he did a fantastic job with screw terminals so no soldering was needed. The bass interestingly seems to still retain the Warwick mids...something in the woods/construction maybe??? I've always believed the wood thing was hype but now I'm not so sure

    Just bought a nice MIJ Fender Jazz off Ash, top guy and good communications all round. Delivered this morning, gigged this afternoon at a local festival in the sunshine and now back at home staring at it ...more festival action tomorrow though Anyhow, buyers & sellers can deal in confidence. Thanks Ash

    Just bought an Eden Nemesis NA650 off Simon, great communications, friendly chap and agreed postage to Devon - brilliant all round. Big thumbs up for a great amp too - used at a reggae jam last night and it performed wonderfully; the Orange terror bass may get a summer rest Buyers/sellers can deal in confidence. Thanks matey

    Recently traded a Warwick Corvette for Matts Ashdown 4x8 cabs. Totally genuine and friendly chappy who is a credit to basschat. Delivered the cabs at my inlaws from Leeds to Birmingham too - true star. Thanks for a lovely trade Matt...buyers & sellers should deal in confidence.

    I'm playing with a soul/funk outfit at the mo and i'm loving opening with Average White Band's 'Pick up the pieces'...then the vocalist comes on, or often we may open with Sam & Daves 'Hold on i'm coming'...depending on the venue really.

    Hi, again struggling with time to work these out by ear...plus my ear isn't that great either so was wondering if anyone could transcribe? Ideally to tab if poss...i can read music ish but i'd only end up writing the notes out so tab is quicker for me but will live with notes if thats all available (i know, i know...should learn to read more - maybe when i finish my studies i'll have more time to dedicate ). Doesn't need to be 100% accurate, just enough to get through the tune confidently...99% is good Obviously willing to pay £ too, PM me for details. Need asap if poss too.

    [quote name='merlin' timestamp='1336580310' post='1647908'] I just sold some bits and now have a little cash in my wallet,now I have seen these amps and there is a burning in my pocket,should I do this? or the other option is to give the cash to Mrs Merlin??? [/quote] I shall follow this thread with interest as i too am considering the BH500...have been researching it throughout today and am struggling to find any negatives about it to be honest.

    [quote name='Muzz' timestamp='1335857061' post='1636872'] I replaced the pups in my Fortress with a Wizard P/J set, but that was because I was after a particular sound (older-school than the MECs), and I got it. [/quote] I've just done the same myself to my Fortress, fitted some PJ Wizard trads and a passive wiring loom...love it so far....difference is night and day to the MEC's but i did like the MEC's too but the Wizards are giving much more warmth and vintage tones which suits my bands needs better. I've just recently traded a passive corvette and didn't experience or notice the issues the OP is having...maybe i didn't have it long enough to notice but it sounded fine at a gig recently. i remember having issues with the 'G' on a Musicman but thats another post

    [quote name='MB1' timestamp='1336557363' post='1647349'] MB1. "Not now!... Silent Singer!" BUMP! [/quote] I think she's going mate....maybe next time [quote name='thebuckets' timestamp='1336567375' post='1647597'] Hi does the head come out of this to use with another cab set up? And do you have a idea of weight ? Cheers Bri [/quote] Not sure Bri, never taken the amp out. I used to have a Markbass Jeff Berlin combo and the head had no lid when removed but i made my own easily enough. Weight wise i think its about 20-21Kg....a one arm lift, very portable
