  1. I can vouch for Andy Viccar's work - he's refinished a couple of mine in Nitro and they look awesome! Free bumpy!
  2. This is now sold subject to the usual - thanks for looking!
  3. [quote name='Sound&Fury' timestamp='1470068168' post='3103039'] A question for the fellow Flea owners re the aging of the pickguard. Is everyone's pickguard aged as strong as the one in this picture below? To be clear: this is a shot from an online store. It's not my bass and actually, in comparison, my pickguard looks quite shiny and new (unfortunately) [/quote] Mine looked like that but only because it was covered in some kind of dust - I could imagine a pile of them stacked in the room they were doing the relicing! The dust cleaned off just leaving it looking a bit lacklustre - which i guess is deliberate?
  4. Well I'm pleased to say I got a good one. I did two gigs with it this weekend, and without a doubt it's the best Jazz Bass I've owned. Does anyone know whether the pickups are the same as those in the AVRI 64 reissue? What are people's thoughts on drilling the holes for the covers and thumbrest - is this likely to devalue any future resale or affect potential collectivity should they someday obtain collector's item status?
  5. Feedback suppressor/Parametric EQ Good working condition complete with instructions. A few minor marks - mainly been racked. £50 collected from Milton Keynes, £60 posted in the UK. No trades - UK sales only please.

  6. Despite having three people in the queue for this,none of whom have viewed it in the flesh, it's now back up for sale.
  7. This is now sold subject to payment
  8. [quote name='jassbass' timestamp='1469363942' post='3097684'] Ooh looks great interesting, what's the switch for? [/quote] To switch between pickups. Neck/both/bridge :-) . . . . like the yamaha BB basses
  9. [font=tahoma,geneva,sans-serif]For reluctant sale is my [b]1976 Ibanez PJ Bass.[/b] This is very [b]heavily roadworn[/b] and has obviously had a hard life. Having said that, it's in full working order, is mostly original and plays and sounds like an [b]absolute peach[/b]. I've included a catalogue shot describing the bass here . . . . [/font] [font=tahoma,geneva,sans-serif][URL=http://s1326.photobucket.com/user/Curvylovedog/media/Ibanez%20Catalogue_zpshhb3shnp.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1326.photobucket.com/albums/u642/Curvylovedog/Ibanez%20Catalogue_zpshhb3shnp.jpg[/IMG][/URL][/font] [font=tahoma,geneva,sans-serif]Sadly the truss rod cover is missing. The nut is also not original. The one on the bass when i got it had been cut too low so has been replaced and set up by Andy Viccars. As you can see from the pics it's set up with a [b]nice low action[/b], which is [b]rattle free.[/b][/font] [font=tahoma,geneva,sans-serif]Strap pegs are the dunlop locking type.[/font] [font=tahoma,geneva,sans-serif]The pups and electronic components are original. It has had various pups swopped in and out of it so the soldering isn't original and the wiring could benefit from some tidying. Having said that, it works correctly and is not overly noisy.[/font] [font=tahoma,geneva,sans-serif]I'm not sure what it is about this bass, but it has an [b]amazing amount of bottom end[/b] when using the 'P' pickup. Roll off the tone and you're in absolute [b]rub a dub heaven. [/b]It also has the full range of tones you would expect from a PJ.[/font] [font=tahoma,geneva,sans-serif]There's a score or crack on the topside of the neck - pictured. this has been completely stable for the time I've had it - at least five years - possibly more. [/font] [font=tahoma,geneva,sans-serif]If your a lover of [b]black n maple[/b], like the vintage vibe and want a killer bass then this is for you.[/font] [font=tahoma,geneva,sans-serif]​It's difficult to price these basses, so I've based it on what it's worth to me. I don't really want to see her go but feel the need to cut my collection down, so if she doesn't sell at this price I won't be too disappointed. Pricing at £350. UK sales only.[/font] [font=tahoma,geneva,sans-serif]The truss rod works. There are no significant dead spots. Tuners are fine.[/font] [font=tahoma,geneva,sans-serif]Weight is a medium 9.2lb[/font] [font=tahoma,geneva,sans-serif]Collection from Milton Keynes is preferred. I can post at buyer's cost/risk but it would have to be through a company where I could take the bass to their delivery point.[/font] [font=tahoma,geneva,sans-serif]The only trade I'd consider would be for a Warwick Fortress.

  10. [quote name='maldy' timestamp='1469022691' post='3095159'] Weird. I took my plate off to have a quick looky and the screws were really nice n firm. I'm no expert, but I don't think the wood is soft. It seems to me that the drill holes are slightly too big, or have been drilled twice in slightly different positions, then filled in a bit. [/quote]
  11. Oiled mine. Lovely figured board. The wood that's visible on the worn bits of body looks quite highly figured too.
  12. Big Baby 2 should be with me by the end of next week or thereabouts :-)

  14. Mine arrived today, also sealed. The neck had a lot of relief in it. I've put half a turn into the truss rod and it's now practically straight. Action dropped by doing this to a tad over 2mm at the 12th with not a hint of rattle anywhere so for the time being I've left it as it is. The back volume knob was slightly crooked so I've straightened it, but now it's hard to move the tone knob without the volume knob moving. Any tips? A nice 8lb 8oz for mine. The thing plays and sounds bloody awesome. I've also got an avri 64 and these are supposed to have the same pups, but this one sounds much more authoritative. It's hard to compare as I've now changed the pups in the 64 and it has flats but I don't ever remember it sounding like this. I seldom buy instruments unseen but I struck lucky with this one. No dead spots and I reckon it's the best Jazz I've ever owned. Happy boy!
  15. [quote name='njr911' timestamp='1468423612' post='3090845'] You were kinda born in 2016?! Kids these days eh, they are all so natural using IT. [/quote] Well I'm never ever gonna be able to afford a real 61 Jazz!
  16. Kind of my year of birth bass!
  17. Just ordered one from gear4music. Htf did that happen?
  18. I'll have it mate. Pm me your bank deets. Does the price inc postage?
  19. Ps . . . I ordered a big baby 2 rather than a compact . . .
  20. Just waiting for the speaker to arrive then she shall be built n delivered :-)
  21. The best way to stop the trolling is to not respond to such posts. The resulting posts are seldom helpful. As the OP may I respectfully for folk to please keep this topic on track so it might help others making a similar choice to me?
  22. Whereabouts in London and what's the weight please?
  23. I've got one. I like it lots. I've put a Beringer graphic in the fx loop for added flexibility.
