Maplins sell one for about a fiver - no LED though

Yup - I've got a VM 70's jazz. Stuck an East retro and a Gotoh bridge on and it's as good as anything else I've got. Decent action, great looker, even tone across the board, minimal dead spots. Only gripe is it's a little heavy being maple.

Is this turning into dunlop v schaller?? + 1 for dunlops - never let me down - I've seen a guitarist twice have his schallers fall to pieces!

SOLD: Fender P bass, Mexican Classic series
King Tut replied to funkysimon's topic in Basses For Sale
Hi guys - I was the previous owner. The string tree had to be moved because it was out of line, and one of the strings (G I think) was close to popping out from under it - which made me nervouse. I'm pretty sure the banding is just the grain of the wood showing through. They're specced up as alder but when (luthier) Andy Viccars saw it, he thought it was ash - although just one 'twang' confirmed it was alder. I only sold it on because with little hands, I couldn't get on with the wide shallow neck. She's a nice bass - I've got some soundclips if anyones interested. Col -

So now you've blinded me with science, any estimate of a value boys? -
Guys and Gals, I have the chance of buying one of these locally. Anyone had any experience with them. I'll probably be asked to make an offer so some guide on their value would be welcome. Cheers

I must recommend Wharfedale Titan 12's if you're going for passive speakers. These are amazingly light and sound very pokey. We use them ( Rock covers trio) regularly for small venues - or medium venues if they don't want it too loud. We even put kick drum through them - OK you'll not get earth shattering bass but it's OK. Got mine in Sound Control Milton keynes for around £220 for the pair. Been gigging them for at least a year with no probs (touch wood) - driven by a yamaha powered mixer.

PM from Milton Keynes coming your way! -
Bumping for the second time - not insisting on pick up any more. -
I had one - they're great. Wish I'd not sold it - very punchy ash body, and the series parallel switch is nice for cutting the lows to get a jazzier sound.

Cheers Dude!

Ok, so the tweeter protection bulb blew in my nemesis 1 x 15 cab. I went to a car shop to get a replacement. The original is 24V 18W (no R276), but of course, they only stock 12V stuff. Apparently a 12V bulb will do the job, in fact it's said to make the tweeter sound less harsh, but it may blow more easily. So I've used a 12V bulb for now but............. If it blows, can anyone tell me where I can get an original?

I've got a 12" version (fnaar fnaar!) These are fab - if only I were local. Free bump -
[quote name='daflewis' post='131182' date='Jan 31 2008, 11:00 AM']that's true, mine is up as high as it will go and it is definitely much better for it... fnar fnar.... Col, i'm sorry it's taken so long to get back to you... and that you weren't as impressed as i'd hoped you would be, if you would like to try something a bit heavier i have a set of helicore hybrids that went on my stick and came straight back off again - (the problem with them is that they don't work well with the magnetic pup) but if you would like to experiment with a heavier string you're welcome to give them a try. [font="Arial Black"][size=2]Blimming post office and there £8 international handling charge - what's that all about!!??[/size][/font] oh dear... think i got away with that one.... :blush: sorry! that said, now you've had the corellis on for a while, any further thoughts? daf[/quote] Thanks for the offer Daf. To be honest I haven't played it that much of late, but I've got a bit of duo work coming up that hopefully I'll use if for - so I'll persevere with what I've got for a bit. I'm going to lift the action a bit and I've also picked up a Behringer acoustic simulator that I'm gonna experiment with. I'm In the process of recording 'moondance' as a demo, using the NS with the acoustic simulator - I'll let you know when I post it on our myspace site so you can have a listen. Col

Roland DB-500 Combo - price reduction
King Tut replied to plloyd83's topic in Amps and Cabs For Sale
PM'd re the roland matey -
Replied - blimey you are a long way away!

Even different makes of strings of the same gauge can affect action. Being a cheapskate i used to use Warwick Red Label. I've gone over to Roto swing bass now, and lowered my action significantly,despite being the same gauge - is this due to difering tension between the string makes?

Let us know how it turns out hell baby!! -
Natural Elm OLP MM3 Stingray 5 Copy. This bass is in very good condition with no marks or dinks. I originally had strap locks on this. When i was putting the bottom one on, the screw snapped in the wood - elm seems like a bloody hard wood! The replacement screw was put in next to it - this doesn't show. Electronics are a little unusual. Despite buying this new from The Bass Cellar, the electronics are not what is the norm for this model of bass. Normally they have a volume for each coil of the pickup, and a master tone. This has a non splittable pickup, with one master volume, and two tone controls cutting at different frequencies - both being passive top cut jobbies. When you roll the front off, you get a dubby precision sound, when you roll the back one off you get a more nasal jazz bridge pickup sound. This works very well, and is imho better than the normal setup. There's a very faint buzz if you touch the pickup polepieces - hardly noticeable - however, I've wound the pickup a long way into the body to avoid this. The pickup is pretty hot so this isn't an issue. I've achieved a fairly low action on this one, and it plays very nicely thanks. Would prefer pickup but will post at a push, or I could meet a buyer at a railway station between Euston and Brum - no offers or trades thanks. Here's the pics........... Only reason I'm selling is that I've got a couple of other nice fives, and this ones the cheapest so it's gotta go.
