Still available!

BUMP now with pics!

[quote name='acidbass' post='263664' date='Aug 16 2008, 05:39 PM']I played one of those Squier Jazz Basses in Walnut Satin last year, and if the one advertised here is anywhere near as good as the one I played, it's an absolute bargain![/quote]

Yeah i tried a few in shops and they were all really good. They make the MIM fenders feel a bit cheap and lightweight. Sound pretty much the same too, i slightly preferred the sound of the squier over the £400 MIM jazz. I ended up getting this from thomann because hardly any shops in my area could get squier standards in and i couldn't find any in this colour in the country at the time of purchase.
The antique burst one is also really nice!

BUMP! PICS UP!

Ok i'll try get some on as soon as!
We've had our practice room broken into so all our gear is at our singers house and some of mine is on sale at a guitar shop, should be able to get pics up by weekend.

The OLP is black with matching headstock, black and grey tortie pickguard and maple fingerboard.

The squier is exactly like the one here:

The OLP is used and the bridge has been replaced. For some reason there are only 2 screws holding the bridge down but it seems stable and would be easy to put another 2 in there. Think someone on here is selling a 5 string bartolini MM on the cheap so this is an ideal candidate for a pickup upgrade! At the moment you have to use the volumes to switch between humbucking and singlecoil modes but i was going to put a switch in it:
[url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=3413"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=3413[/url]

The squier is basically new, i bought it as a back up cos my warwick kept cutting out, then saw a warmoth jazz on ebay for £335 so the squier was redundant before it was even delivered! Still stuck bartolinis in it (for sale elsewhere on this site) but the stock ceramic magnet pickups were spot on anyways. The pickguard has slightly widened holes where these have been

Think postage on both will be about £15 unless you can collect from Blackpool

Set of bartolini jazz pickups, passive. Been in my squier and have done 2 or 3 gigs, bought new for over £100.

Pretty certain they are 9Js, bright neck and deep bridge, although they're currently at my guitar shop as they're on sale there as well but if memory serves then that's what they are

Sell for £60

Postage will be £5 (that's a guess) or buyer can collect in blackpool area

BUMP!

Aye i'd like to know what this sounds like.
At least it's got the option of an AC adapter unlike my russian big muff!

Bump!

Someone buy this!

Cheers i'll try it at a more neighbour friendly hour!
Some research on the internet reveals that switching from speakon to jack output (or vice/versa) cures the problem, also switching output channels (something i've already had problems with).
Cheers!

Probably a common problem with these amps but has anybody else had unacceptable levels of hiss?
It's not too bad with the treble turned down and pretty good on a passive bass but with even a smidgen of treble from my preamp (aguilar 18v) it dominates the sound.

It's already been back to giggear twice, once for a dodgy output and the other because it kept cutting out. I haven't used it in ages because i don't really need it and don't trust it enough to gig with (in fact i don't trust it at all!), just a shame because it's a handy and cheap little amp.

Apologies if this has been covered to death (links anyone? i'm new on here!), but could someone point me in the right direction? What are ashdown like for servicing these amps (for free like).

Cheers guys

Great choice of forum name by the way... [/quote]

Yeah, i always find the mention of an ass-crawling rodent is the perfect ice-breaker when meeting new people. The missus is not so impressed...

[quote name='Murph_Orpheus' post='255008' date='Aug 5 2008, 01:35 AM']Well it wont be costing me anything, as I'd be trading an Ampeg head that I've no use for anymore for the Thunderbird. But you're right anyway, I'll try it out first.[/quote]

Which ampeg head is it that ya don't need?
Will be in the market for a new head soon

Hi, just joined a couple of days ago, thought i'd say hi

I'm Steve, a 26 year old bass player from the north west.
I play semi professionally in a covers/party band, i can't over-emphasize the "semi" aspect of that though!
I play a warwick, a warmoth fretless and a zoot through a hartke stack and an ashdown/hartke half stack but will soon be a schroeder man!

Just thought i'd say that it's cool to find a decent u.k. forum instead of the usual u.s. ones, especially as you can look at the classifieds and actually buy the gear on there (maybe that's not such a good thing!)

Basses I've owned in the last 11 years:

Hohner B2 P-Bass copy (horrible!)
Dean 4 string (unknown model!)
Ozark acoustic
Gibson RD Artist 77 in maple (never buying a gibson bass again!)
Warwick Corvette active standard in swap ash
Warwick Streamer standard 5 string
Shine 6 string
Jaco copy fretless
Squier Standard Jazz in walnut satin
OLP MM3
Warmoth custom fretless in walnut and pau ferro
Zoot Deluxe custom shop

The Zoot, Warwick and Warmoth are my stage basses

Still looking to offload the Squier and the OLP and maybe the jaco copy (with fender pups electrics)

[quote name='ben_eat_pie' post='256614' date='Aug 6 2008, 07:08 PM']how much for them seperate... seems like you may get a better sale that way - some people like the same size speakers all around!

good luck... might have to find some cash for the 4/10 - i love them!

ben[/quote]

Dunno, they're pretty cheap nowadays i think bein built in china an all.
The 1x15 is £165 on ebay and the chinese equivalent of the 4x10 £225

Don't forget the covers are around £35 each plus postage

These are also for sale in a local guitar shop so think i might get more for em in there to be honest!
Still, open to offers!

COMPLETED
2xJazz style pickups with 2xvolume pots and 1xtone pot plus jack, all wired up and ready to go!
Will even include 3xchrome pbass style knobs

Had these in my old fretless and sounded good, got fender ones now though so want rid

Can even post for free too!

Hartke VX2x15 cab

2 x 15" paper cone drivers, 500w power handling @ 4ohms
Gigged but built to last

£120

Blackpool

Here's my VX215 for £90.
500w handling at 4ohms, sturdy cab with 2 15" paper cone drivers and a horn, around £250 when new
Really light for a big cabinet too at 77lb/35kg (from the net so not guaranteed!)

Based in Blackpool, you're welcome to come down to try it out, i've still got a couple of heads to use with it

It's a bit tatty but fully functional. The baffle board came loose a while back so it has had a pack of screws put in it to keep it nice and sturdy, used it without problem for around a year after that before getting the XL cabs. All the screws are under the carpet which was glued back over each one. There's about 25 or so in there but you can only see the edges of the odd one.

Like the one in the photo but erm, gigged!


Cheers

Steve

Squier Standard Jazz in Walnut satin
Nearly new condition, no real marks or scuffs. Has had bartolinis in but putting original pickups back. Pickup hole has been slightly widened on scratchplate, not noticeable. Hard to find in this finish, looks great
SOLD

Blackpool

Has a Gator style hard case (damaged but still functional).

Some better pics than the last one, as you can see it's also for sale in my local guitar shop along with some of my other stuff.

A lovely bass that i just don't need anymore, GASsed about it for ages then bought something else so it has to go.
Never seen anyone else with one either, all it needs is a fender logo! (something i was going to do, ended up puting it on my fender copy).

Can send sound clips via email if you fancy, got some rough recordings via windows sound recorder but they give you the idea

Steve

Great condition cabs, the 4x10 is the original USA version, the 1x15 is the recent chinese one, both XL with great condition covers.
£360 the pair Blackpool
