  1. D'Addario have a number stamp on each pack that can be cross referenced on their website, ( under the 'play real' tab at the bottom of the page). I use this now as I had a dodgy set some years ago, half volume output no attack, I thought something was odd with the pickups for a while. Do Elixer have is system?
  2. [quote name='haimesy' timestamp='1485344817' post='3223247'] Hi Guys ..can anyone help me with these stamps on my Jazz . It's dates as 77/78 on the date website .. the pick ups are dated 79.. just curious what the neck and pocket stamps mean.. I believe it was a bit of a mish mash of parts at fender during this period .there quite faded but any info would be much appreciated .. john [/quote] I think they sometimes correspond to batch numbers in the factory (as my Tokai is), a signature could be the 'tech' who inspected the bass.

There are two strap holders at the base end, allowing two strap place options. Scale length is 34" with a double octave neck. Nut width is a tad over 1.5" / 39.3mm. It has 3mm side dots starting from low F. The neck leans more towards a P bass size than a Jazz neck though I'm sure it would take being 'slimmed' down. There are six wood cupped screws holding the neck solidly in place. The body and neck have an oil finish (Tru oil on body).[/size] [size=5]I couldn't upload the mP3 sound clip but I have it available. It is recorded straight off a Yamaha desk.

  5. [quote name='alyctes' timestamp='1484527004' post='3216165'] Pretty! It would probably help if you inclluded the word "fretless" in the thread title [/quote] Quite right alyctes....I'm so used to playing fretless, I see it as the norm!

Its another custom build by me, a one off design. [/size]

  9. [quote name='ead' timestamp='1484159619' post='3213184'] Just bought some strings from Pete, very easy to deal with many thanks. Highly recommended [/quote] Thanks ead, good to deal with you.

  12. Seymour Duncan has been around a long long time so he knows his stuff. His Basslines bass range are as good as any. I've used his active and passive Jazz sets for years and I think they are excellent on my fretless and fretted basses.
  13. Nothing wrong with Delano's pups on my fretless bass.
  14. Just about to put up the same question myself Bassbora and Rich has answered some of it.....I am looking for a decent soldering station instead of replacing a solder iron every couple of years as I saw one from Stewmac (Solomon SL 30 @ £100 +). They seem to be around £45-60 for standard 'hobby' use and then up in the hundreds for pro workshops. Let's see what other models come in.
  15. [quote name='mybass' timestamp='1479756664' post='3179054'] £300 for all three items....!! Yes, a special Basschatt deal for now... Two Peavey (stereo) power amps with my original sturdy but old flight case. One is a GPS 1500, something like 550 watts into 4ohms per side or 750 watts a side @ 2ohms The other is a PV 900, about 300 watts per side @ 4 ohms. Both in pretty nice condition as they have lived in the flight case all their life, maybe a few marks on tops but clean front and back. Both only ever used as bass guitar power amps to an Aguilar pre amp and never ever really pushed. Pictures show both amps working and both channels being tested with lights showing for each channel. I'm NE Hants and can meet A3 at M25 areas. Just to add that this is a special Basschat price for both amps together with the f/case, which although a bit crusty around the latches, is fully operational. [/quote] Bump

  17. He is interviewed in the current magazine 'R2' aka Rock n Reel magazine.
  18. Well spotted casapete and thanks....to quote a Dad's Army saying...' I was waiting to see who would spot that'! PM me please.
  19. Sold. Please delete this For Sale posting.
  20. Over heating the pot may damage/ warp the interior tracking and some make of pots are easier to solder an earth to than others. As advised by 'beeronthebass', try scuffing the pot a little ( I scrape with a small screwdriver sometimes but make sure to blow away any dust or metal bits) to achieve a better receptive spot for the solder to adhere to.
  21. bump to £40
  22. [size=5]SOLD[/size] [size=5]One EBS OctaBass in EBS box...£40.[/size] [size=5]I used this, as the pics show, for a few years so a few chips and scrapes included in the price! Put up for sale a few months ago at £60 but retracted for holidays and gigging away.[/size] [size=5]Tested a few months ago and working. [/size] [size=5]£5 po[/size][size=5]sted.[/size] [size=5]Pics show the OctaBass with a Multicomp...The MultiComp has been SOLD.[/size] Just to add.....this is not a 'price or trade value' of £100, it is £40 for the pedal. Please PM me if interested.
  23. this could be depending on the bass scale length as I see ACG make different scale lengths, a 32" scale length may be a bit sloppier than 34".
