Hey, Is this still for sale?

 

Hey, apologies the bass is now sold.

Last bump before this goes to Bass Direct / BassBros / The Gallery for a commission sale!

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.

Hey Rich - I’ll check and post tomorrow, cheers!

Hey again Rich, the weight of the bass is exactly 4kg / 8.8lbs.  The strings are the 760FL's, 43-60-82-104.

Hi Lewis, i have one of these (in FS at the moment too), i'm interested, where did you find a bridge with the holes that line up because i couldn't find one, it seemed that the the holes line up differently from the original 'hi-mass' bridge, did you have to 're-drill' as id probably keep mine if i can get a direct like-for-like replacement like this one, thanks in advance

Rog

Hi Rog, I guess I just must've got lucky, I swapped it out very soon after getting it and I definitely didn't have to re-drill.

It was'nt that bad Lewis...

Thanks Brian, yes, like I said not bad for a bass of its age, but it’s a lot better now.

Hey Lewis. That is a lovely looking bass! Do you know its weight and which gauge LaBella's are on there? Cheers! Rich

Hey Rich - I’ll check and post tomorrow, cheers!

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!

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.

These are sooooo good.

3 of them have passed thru my hands over the years - Metallic Red, Pearl White and Black.

Loved every one of them.

Now SOLD.

Hi Lewis. I'm interested to know how you got on with the strings as I have just broken the A string on my Ibanez too. Did they fit okay and how do they sound etc.?

Cheers, Ronnie.

Hey - yes they fit perfectly and are the exact same strings that were on it originally.  No problems at all since restringing it.

These are brilliant bridges. I add them to all my basses. GLWTS.

Indeed John, a spare couldn't hurt though - nudge nudge wink wink....

New grub screws arrived and tested.  All good - so this Bridge is now fully complete, ready to use, and comes with spare locking grub screws in case the new owner loses any like I did! 

*****UPDATE: I have sourced replacement locking grub screws which I should have by 1st November.  Ordered 12 as they were cheap!  All will be included with the Bridge.******
