  1. I tried a six string electric on Friday - it was a lovely, but cheap copy of a 62 tele costing only £149. Didn't have a pick so picked a few blues riffs and some bends. Compared to a bass It was just sh1t.
  2. They're certainly different items to US models - whether they're better or not is subjective
  3. The pickups on my jap jazz are very good indeed so perhaps yes. They seem to go for more money.
  4. This Fender Japan pickup is for sale as the project I wanted to use it for has had to be shelved. Click for full sized image. [url="http://s1149.photobucket.com/albums/o600/geek99/?action=view&current=f2bcb74c.jpg"][/url] I think its worth £25 plus P&P at cost - thats average for what such pickups have sold for in the past. . I am as ever open to considering reasonable offers so please do PM me if you think we can do a deal.
  5. maybe someone on here has one - try the items wanted forum ? Mind you theres enough electronics buffs on here - they might be able to fx it.
  6. [quote name='fretmeister' timestamp='1343600903' post='1752671'] Legally, you went to his place, you tested it, you declared yourself happy when you paid. Game over. Caveat emptor. [/quote] Yes agree - if you got it posted you'd be in a different boat. You had the chance to inspect the goods and took it. Take it on the chin and accept help offered here to fix it.
  7. This is listed on Ebay and will finish tonight. 180932149053 I will update the thread tomorrow.
  8. i like the wood body and pale blocks look. Yes the plate fit is a bit wierd with its one inch gap at the bottom but a proper sized plate might fit. I'd say give it a shot.
  9. [quote name='OliverBlackman' timestamp='1342561563' post='1737232'] For example I've just watched one where the player talks through basic ways to practice a major scale, real beginners stuff, and then demonstrates it in the form of a fast solo passage. I would think this would confuse beginners? Am i right? Also demonstrating on 5 string basses without dots, does that hinder any of you? [/quote] In Tim Bogerts otherwise excellent RockBass for beginners DVD, he stupidly chooses a six string, I have been playing a while and I still need to think hard when looking at what he's doing. Scott Devine's lessons are good, but I cant understand why he wears those silly gloves, anyone know?
  10. my little one has loved my jazz bass since she was tiny. I have photos of her plugging it in at about 1 year old. I figure it'll be cheaper for her to be into music than ponies.
  11. I've had a fanned fret bass from him and it was amazing.
  12. i've just done a deal with Tom1946 and would happily do so again
  13. Hi Thanks for the offer - thinkng about it, I really can't justify another bass, much as I Love the look of this one. One day i will build a natural ash precision with maple neck and offwhite plate but it can't be now.
  14. In what way has the neck pocket been altered and what level of ding damage are we talking about here ?
  15. Axl is going bald, mind you he's nearly fifty so I don't think that's too bad I was under the impression that's lots of rock folk wear wigs
  16. Thanks
  17. Not that I have found - the unsubscribe link doesn't work on the iPhone
  18. not sure - i have "pitch" and my partner has perfect pitch- our daughter does too. Its not [b]all[/b] "nurture"
  19. [quote name='seashell' timestamp='1342425365' post='1734478'] Tee hee, Stef, but I'm a girl At least I'm not wasting money on shoes [/quote] Go girl. My little daughter loves basses AND shoes. Disaster looms
  20. that is a great price - sadly I already have a 93 of the same type and cant justify it.
  21. absolutely yes, it is. Please note that it has [b]no screws[/b] with it (see top posting- Tom1946 asked first so I gave them to him) . It is all packed up and ready to go. If youre okay with that - please PM me your address and I'll give you a paypal address - I'd like £10 plus either £2.20 (second class at cost) or £2.70 (first class postage at cost). I dispatch as soon as possible after payment, same day if possible.
