  1. Hi Steve,

    It's a standard MM replacement as far as I know. It was wired as a direct humbucking MM pickup in my Flea, straight into the Aguilar OBP-3, kinda the way they are wired in Rays from what I can recall of Ray's I've owned in the dim and distant past.

    Some useful links:

    Can you tell me, is the pickup wired in series or parallel ?

    Also, I assume it's a direct replacement for a MM Stingray pup.

    Cheers

  2. Hi All!

    Up for sale is my Wizard Area 51 Stealth Precision pickup.

    Ordered and custom wound by Andy at Wizard several months ago for my 62 Reissue Precision, it's apparently a prototype he's been working on. A very high output P-bass pickup, loads of punch but maintaining the organic precision passive vibe, so much so to paraphrase Andy, "it's almost active sounding". Because it was going into my Reissue, he distressed the covers a tiny little bit to give it a really stunningly convincing retro played in look.

    If you're after something hi-output but warm and retro and don't fancy going down the Seymour Duncan QuarterPounder or EMG route, this is a fantastic alternative.

    Looking for £45 posted.

    Cheers

  3. Bump for a great looking bass.

    I've got the same, a cherry red Euro LX 4 string. Sounds absolutely stunning, imagine the AGC would make a fabulous bass even better. Based on all the positive feedback, may look at replacing the stock Tonepump with one when funds and time allow.

    Good luck with the sale[/quote]

    Cheers Nick,

    Probably be another "wish I woulda kept a Precision in my bass collection" moment but need the funds.

    Sunday night bump (and I'll pop along to your sale thread to bump your Lakland JO)!

  5. All,

    No longer doing rock covers (in fact no longer doing anything to be honest as I've kinda got fed up with it all but that's another story) so I'm looking to sell my Fender MIA Precision 62 Reissue and fund my quest for a new iMac (I'm doing more photography and video than music).

    I've had it for about 12 months, the previous owner had it from new. Excepting a recent minor "nerf" on the bottom of the body (picture to come), it's in a fabulous condition and comes with the original Fender hard case and the accessories such as ashtray, pickup cover and thumb rest.

    [url="http://www.fender.com/products//search.php?partno=0190116800"]Full specs on the Fender site here![/url]

    Tonally, it's a great example of a classic P tone, real low end thump but with some mid-range punch and growl. Just the perfect bass for the rock stuff I used to do but also came into it's own for a more vintage vibe with the tone rolled off.

    Ideally looking for [s]£750[/s] [b]£700 ovno[/b] delivered. Sorry, no trades as I'm looking for the cash for the iMac.

    Any questions, please feel free to PM me.

    Toodle pip!

  6. [quote name='martthebass' post='422600' date='Mar 1 2009, 07:52 PM']Suprised this hasn't gone yet Geoff - the 'industry standard' 5er at a sensible price. Things must be tough. I had to part with a G&L L2500 AND some cash to pick up one of these a few months back. No, I don't regret it. Good luck with the sale.[/quote]

    (Glumday) Monday morning BUMP for Geof's wonderful Ray!

  7. Have just sold my G&L ASAT to james.

    Good to meet him, great comms, totally at ease dealing with him and an absolutely top chap.

    Would recommend him to anyone thinking of buying, selling or trading with him.

    Cheers

    Hi Kier,

    How you doing mate?

    Yep. It is indeed your old bass. Understand the feeling of regret, been there, done it. No doubt I'll be in the same position as soon as it's out the door considering my near legendary "getting rid of basses only to find you then land a gig where they'd sound fabulous" attitude to bass ownership.

    [quote]my old bass and looking at the pics I'm missing her. thinking how I can afford it/what I can offer.[/quote]

    Wanna swap back the Spector I traded you for it?! lol

    All the best
