  1. The neck came with the nut already crafted like that, Chris. The only guys I know doing brass nuts this way are Slawek Rybski and Ken Smith, but it looks more like Rybski's work.
  2. Almost everything you need to know is in the ad. 😉 And as @CJPJ noticed, it's a Fender Hi-Mass IV, in brass. 🙂
  3. €880 EUR: WARMOTH Jazz Bass with Fender logo, type C neck. NO TRADES! NON NEGOTIABLE PRICE ! Asking price including shipping fully insured with tracking number to your place in these European countries (ask for other countries) : Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France (excluding French overseas departments and territories), Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxemburg, Monaco, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain and Sweden : €880 Euros (£775 GBP is an approximation and I will only accept payment in Euros) !!! Shipping to United Kingdom is, of course, possible, but with an extra customs fee (VAT + other taxes + courier fee), because U.K. is now outside EEC. In perfect working condition and, except for 5 "dings", in very good condition. Here are the specifications : Body: alder with tummy cut and forearm contour (original Warmoth) Neck: bolt-on in 1 piece of lightly flamed and birdseye maple with steel rods (Super Bass Construction) and satin finish on the back (original Warmoth) Fingerboard: rosewood Frets: 21 positions with absolutely no marks Headstock: 4 in line Pickups: 2 Hot Wire Bass (BassCulture) stacked humbucker Jazz Bass type in 60's position Preamp: EMG BQC Control (brand new) with Gotoh battery box BB-02 (brand new) Controls: active volume, passive blend, stacked mids with frequency sweep, stacked bass and treble Tuners: Schaller BMF (brand new) Bridge: Fender Hi-Mass IV brass (brand new) Strings spacing at bridge: 19mm Nut: superbly worked brass Strings spacing at nut: 11mm (nut width is a C type, so 44.45mm) Knobs: EMG (brand new) Scale: 34 inches Hardware colour: chrome Truss rod: one, double action, 100% functional Finish: Lake Placid Blue (original Warmoth) Country of origin: USA Serial number: N.A. Year: N.A. Weight: 4.655 kg Action : from 1.5 mm under the G string to 2 mm under the E string at 12th position (can even go lower, but was perfect for me) Will be delivered in a brand new Harley Benton semi-rigid case (see photos). Non-smoking environment as usual. The bass has been fully shielded with copper and set up professionally, which means it's super easy to play and dead silent. It has received a brand new battery and is fitted with a brand new set of DR Strings Pure Blues PB-45 quantum nickel strings (45 - 65 - 85 - 105), which really serve this bass. What you see is what you get ! Look carefully at the photos taken from different angles and lights to see the real condition, which is very good except for the 5 "dings" photographed. Due to severe back problems (67% officially disabled because of it) plus right shoulder injury (non-operable capsulitis from which, after more than 4 years, I will never fully recover), I'm selling all my basses over 4 kilos and also the ones I'm not really using as well as some stuff I don't use. I've also considerably lowered the price for a quick sale. Don't hesitate to ask for more.
  4. @Rollo, I'll let you try it Saturday, ... maybe.
  5. The new Boss Katana Bass combos don't have fans and are amazing (I bought the 110 ... and the 210). The GR Bass amps have the studio option which switches the fan off. As mentioned, the original TrickfFish amps, the Bullhead 1K and .5K, don't have a fan, and honestly I don't know why they put a fan in the new Mini 500 !?! Some Acoustic Image and as mentioned some Phil Jones Bass or Demeter models don't have fan. The Ampeg PF-20T and PF-50T are full tubes/valves head without fan. I think this list is almost all and everything available new... It seems that nowadays a fan is "mandatory", otherwise there's a lot of older amps, including valves/tubes amps that are fanless.
  6. Photos now post treated...
  7. And here come the fresh photos taken today on the mandatory 400 years old oak floor.
  8. It won't hurt at all. 😉
  9. You have something with a digital power supply close to your Celinder @ped, or even a watch can do that ticking noise too. There are two ways to suppress this : find the "faulty" device and discard it or make a real full shielding of the Celinder (which is not the best part of Celinder basses, that said).
  10. There you go @hooky_lowdown. This schematic from Cadfael works for 2 Jazz Bass pickups too or whatever type you want.
  11. Just in case, here is a video explaining the differences between a TL-5 first and second generation (the TL-6 shares the same pickups and bridge on both generations). Worth watching.
  12. I've done this mod on my Rebellion Jazz Bass : It's the top of versatility as you get that classic tone with both pickups working in parallel (standard wiring), but also the same in series, meaning you can use each volume independently on both positions, and that's really useful. A very clever design. That said put a push-push instead of a push-pull, it's a real game changer.
  13. I play whatever fretless, lined or unlined, and dots at the fretted position on fretless don't bother me. There is no true fretless, there is fretless. The only "issue" with lined fretless is that you're always tempted to look at your fingers and don't play with your ears, but your eyes, which won't help improve your intonation, especially in low light situation...
  14. Utterly insanely overpriced as I said, Mick. But it's what people are prepared to pay for a Wal nowadays. I hope they won't cry blood tears when the market gets back to normality...
  15. Superb looking Sei Flamboyant fretless bass. I blame myself all the time, don't worry, Ben. 🤔😂🤦🏻‍♂️😉
  16. If you plan to sell the bass, which is something will all end up doing, don't do anything to this Zon that will turn it into an obviously diy modified bass (and all your layouts are just suggesting this). And as @Doctor J said, you didn't miss the mid control before, so...
  17. Because this bridge works great with these Fender basses and many others. Each time I've put another bridge, I simply noticed that it adds strictly nothing sound wise to that BBOT bridge. Simplicity is often the best way to achieve a goal.
  18. Check diodes D27 and D28 as I don't know (from just looking at the photo of the short cut) if you put the +61V or -61V to earth with your probe when touching the resistor (not the MOSFET) leg and the ground. Check that resistor too. 😉 SVT III Schemo.pdf
  19. And Paul is a great guy to deal with!
  20. It's indeed a Wal Mk1 as it only has 21 positions (or frets for a fretted bass). I had the same in the 90's when nobody was wanting them anymore, bought back 3 times (I know, I know) for peanuts and definitely sold for peanuts too...
  21. Or there was a huge discount on knobs...
  22. I guess it's a 4 bands EQ with the mandatory coil splitting switch.
  23. I love it! It's way too pricey, but it's beautiful!
  24. They are also utterly overpriced!
