How far have you travelled to pick up a Bass?
LewisK1975 replied to HeadlessBassist's topic in Bass Guitars
I do love a road trip to pick up / trade gear. Furthest I've done is about 220 mile each-way trip, which was Bridgend, South Wales to Doncaster to pick up my 78 Precision which I still have. -
Yeah indeed - All of the Yamaha Attitude Basses I've had, whilst passive are so much louder than other passive Basses. Generally down to more windings / higher DC resistance like BB said.

Yep - On PJ Basses, I've always raised the J pickup to be a little closer to the strings than the P pickup for this very reason.

Here we have for sale my Bitsa PJ. Made up of the following parts: Fender CIJ maple precision neck. Serial number dates it to 1993-1994. Squier standard series PJ body in metallic black. Seymour Duncan SPB-3, Alan entwistle JBXN, wired to a Kiogon VVT solderless loom which has a series / parallel pushpull on the tone knob. Wilkinson black/brass bridge and Wilkinson black tuners. Fender gold anodised scratch plate. Prefer to sell this as a complete Bass but may part it out if it doesn’t shift. I’m in no rush! No case as it stands but I can probably find something if it would sweeten the deal for the buyer. Based in the Bridgend area of South Wales and would rather not ship, but I’m willing to discuss delivery / meet up within a reasonable distance. Not looking for trades at the moment, shifting a few things to raise funds for a special upcoming birthday!

Here we have my 2013 ‘crafted in china’ Squier classic vibe Precision in the lovely Fiesta red. I’ve changed the Bridge to a knurled saddle 60’s type and added the tug bar, have the original which the buyer is more than welcome to have as well. It’s also wearing labella flatwounds (which were not cheap!) that are well broken in now. Condition is a solid 10/10 I think! Get your custom shop Pino vibes going for substantially less loot! No case / gig bag as it stands but I can probably find something if it sweetens the deal for the buyer.

Here we have my USA Peavey Rudy Sarzo Bass. Not sure how you’d date it but it must be early 90’s I’d guess.. Bought this last year and it was in need of some TLC. Overall it’s in good shape for a bass now over 30 years old. Certainly not perfect but definitely a lot better than when I got it! Total mods/upgrades as follows: EMG pickups added - models 35P4 / 35J, these are a reverse P and a J pickup in soapbar housings. Bespoke pickup rings made to cover the existing routs. EMG preamp installed - BQS system, vol, pan, bass/mid/treble with mid sweep (the toggle switch is redundant, just fills the hole up) Control Cavity shielded (not necessary but I had some tape lying around!) Bridge and Tuners replaced with black Schallers. 3D bridge and M4 tuners which were drop in replacements for the original gold coloured ones. Also spent a lot of time on the case, it was a bit Wiffy! - it’s functional albeit when open it doesn’t hold in an ‘L’ shape, the straps attached to the lid must be stretched and so it falls all the way open like a book. I have all the original parts which the buyer is more than welcome to take as well, included in the price. All together there’s over £400 worth of upgrades here so I think the asking price is fair.

Strings for Parlour size Acoustic Bass
LewisK1975 replied to LewisK1975's topic in Accessories and Misc
Hey - yes they fit perfectly and are the exact same strings that were on it originally. No problems at all since restringing it. -
TC Electronic BH250 amp head & Gator Carry case. It has a few light scrapes on top etc but is in generally good condition, and works perfectly. No box so the gator carry case is included. Can probably also include a kettle lead, I’m nice like that! Local collection from Bridgend, South Wales or can post for £10.
