  1. Wow, I've owned also a lot of vintage basses (and guitars), wrote a mémoire about pre 1965 basses, and this one, according to the pictures, is the real thing. In fact, it's quite easy to know if these instruments are true vintage ones or real fakes. And there is a tiny little thing (plus many many many others) that nobody seems to know which can testify the period, but I'll keep it secret, sorry, there are too many crooks around making fantastic money with real fakes and I don't want to help them. This one is a true period correct in fantastic condition Jazz Bass, which is very very very rare. GLWYS.
  2. And here, the fitting manual, more a sheet, in fact :
  3. And the real name is : Wilkinson 4+1 : 5 string bass conversion
  4. But it was made fo it too, and there are large nuts on some Jazzes...
  5. Hum, it was made by Wilkinson before they started to make crap... Some people are looking for this, but with the right name it will be easier, and it's also designed for the Jazz Bass.
  6. Trade option added !
  7. I own a BassCube and owned an Amp One, those are simply the best combo amps ever. The Basic Performer being the most versatile. And the service at AER is maybe a bit slow (it's a very small society), but is exemplary. My BassCube has been upgraded for free and I only paid for the pieces that weren't covered by some warranty. So, now I have a completely revised amp for peanuts... It's worth mentioning it.
  8. For the moment, the price is quite low and this Hellborg preamp is a real beast. A thing to follow...
  9. Sell the Aguilar DB659 preamp and buy the Glockenklang Bugatti 400 Power Amp and you'll have something like one of the best preamp-amp in the world, the other being AER, strangely, German too...
  10. So keep it, you'll regret it later, and I know the feeling quite well.
  11. Right, Slim Face! One of my uncles who was selling second hand cars sometimes at delirious prices always told when I said he won't sell it because it was too high : "There's an idiot waking up every day, all you have to do is just wait". And you know what, he was right, just f*cking right !
  12. Did you ever take some pictures to see the real condition ?
  13. Traded my LeFay Herr Schwarz 5 for Victor Stradi Symphony 5 Fretless. We met half way in Brussels, had some pleasant talk and went home on our opposite sides. You can deal in total confidence with Victor, he is a trustful person and very communicative. It was a pleasure to meet him in the flesh and have a cappuccino while talking. ;-) And the Stradi is just awesome ! Hope to deal with him again.
  14. To a happy man : terrific bass and killer piezo. Love it.
  15. If you find this behaviour a crook act, what about anything you buy each day, like that gasoline you bought for say £100 GBP when the real factory cost all included is £1 GBP... That's called in marketing language : (huge) profit and that's the world we live in. The only illegal thing in what you describe is the use of pictures and text without permission, that's all. The rest is simply a guy who have seen a good opportunity to make some quick and easy money. Don't tell me you never done this as we are all chasing the good deal !
  16. Time to clear some stuff. EBS pedal board (see content below) almost new, so get ready to make some ... effect.
  17. Still available? When yes, some pictures might help...
  18. You would be very disappointed by the UniPre, the SPM02-3B is way far uncompressed and much more user friendly. Try the Mike Pope Flexcore : this is the more transparent and non compressing preamp ever, but the cost is, say, prohibitive. Coming back to your Ibanez SRSC805 it's a neck through single cut construction, so with more attack, harmonics, highs and preciser basses by definition. Maybe it's simply the wrong bass for your ears... That happens sometimes.
  19. My jazz guitar (as a Wes Montgomery fan, I own one Ibanez Jazz Idontknowwhatmodelitis that I hardly play) has the same principle for the volume and tone of the Benedetto floating pickup and it's not THAT easy to use at all...
