The Hondo has been pulled off ebay this morning anyway
-
I've just read that Peter Hook (Joy Division) used a Hondo II Rick copy ad opposed to an actual Rick. That's done nothing to help my GAS 😅
-
one of the ideas I had a while ago was routing a standard cheapo Harley Benton Jazz or Precision type bass or similar to take the Seymour Duncan RB pickups, but then it's losing that good old rick styling. I'll let you know how my quest goes. I have put in a bid on the Hondo and at current am the highest bidder Am I allowed to do a NBD of a faker?
-
we'll see how it goes with the Hondo anywhow - that is the colour scheme I am after I think.
-
North Birmingham me.
-
I currently have a few options anyway. there's the Hondo, which I won't go above £350 for. I have sourced a shop up north with a Rockinbetter in the redburst colour in stock that an old friend will go in and buy for me if I want it. There's the Renegade in red that is in budget. The generic chickenbacker on FB I've been offered for pennies but will need some doing uppering. Theres an Indie IRK for sale on an auction site - comes in at the top of what I have to spend but they get a good write up. And finally, the Career Rik400s are all over the interwebs for just above my budget.
-
It is also missing a string completely 😅 I thought no more than £350 as thats the sort of region Rockinbetters and Retrovibe Renegades go for. I do know that the Hondos do get a good write up though. In other news I've been offered one on Facebook that looks like a generic Chinese faker with a whole rework of the electrics needed.

How did you guess?

There is a certain old Japanese one on a well known auction site. If anyone knows their stuff can they PM me and help recommend me what it's worth?

Hiya guys, Up for sale is my Ashdown Vintage 12 combo. See what Ashdown have to say about it: http://ashdownmusic.com/products/1/B/18/Legacy/114/AAA-Vintage-12-/ I see these are selling on ebay and such for around £150, but due to damage to the strap (rubber lining coming away from metal strap, still works fine), am selling for £75 collected from B36 Birmingham. Hit me up with any trade offers - looking for compressors and any cheapo or project basses you have. Now Withdrawn tah. -
Straplocks GONE!!! (sorry) -
Rocktile are a company I've seen mentioned a lot and they're going for back pocket shrapnel. Anyone have any experience. Oh and resurrecting the thread.
-
It's basically 2 single coils fused together into a humbucker. It comes from the fender modern player jazz bass.
-
Is this still available?
-
Not much more to say. In good condition, Zoom B1on multi effects unit. £25 delivered to your door.
-
Jazz bass pickguard now GONE!!!
-
Tonerider and JBXNs both GONE!!!

Hi guys. Going through my drawers and I have a lot of stuff seeing no use now. Worth noting none of the pickups have screws, but these are easy to come by. 1. Tonerider Precision Pickup - I believe a TRPB-1. No Screws. GONE!!! 2. Set of Entwistle JBXN Jazz bass pickups. These get a great write up, and with good reason. They are tremendously loud, very nice Jazz pickups - GONE!!! 3. Fender JJ bridge pickup. This type of pickup was on the "modern player" series Jazz bass. SOLD!!! 4. Wilkinson Jazz bass pickup set. Came in a Harley Benton. Not bad for price. £10 delivered for the pair. 5. Dunlop Strap Locks - black. bought these for a bass that I moved on before installing these. Still in box, untouched - GONE!!! 6. Black Jazz bass pickguard. 3-ply black/white/black Northwest Guitars brand, never used. Takes 10 screws (not included) - GONE!!! 7. Fender US Active Preamp. Active Fender US Preamp for P/J or Jazz basses. Needs some love (new battery compartment needs to be fitted, new Output needs to be fitted). Because of the work needed, selling for £30 delivered. Comes attached to lovely tortoiseshell P-Bass pickguard.

I had one just like that but sold it. Regret it a bit to be honest -
3TS Bitsa PJJ with SD - sold pending

Sold Pending all the usual... -
I have been offered an Xvive Bass Squeezer for relatively little money. I have had a look at some reviews and it seems ok, with a built-in drive circuit and very basic compression knobs. I am tempted. That being said, the built-in compression in the Boss ME50B has sounded good so far, so who knows.

Don't know how I managed to overlook Risk to Exist by Maximo Park. Great Album, some great basslines, great to dance to. Superb.

A more extreme example of what can be achieved with a cheap instrument and a clever Midlander that can do her up: https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/298152-finished-pics-lighter-and-with-pizzazz-pumping-up-a-harley/?page=6#comment-3232961
