  1. They are the original pups, this is my old bass. They have "made in germany" stamped on the back so will either be MEC or Schaller
  2. Here is why I use Wise.com instead of XE.com:
  3. For me it's the best of both worlds, best rates and lowest fees. Yeah I can understand re. Scams- but it's really only if they are sending you money that they need to "use" Wise.com and create an account etc. With a little Googleing though it should be easy for anyone to see it is a legit site. Otherwise you just use your Wise.com account and send them the money directly to their bank account - exactly like any international bank transfer.
  4. To ensure you receive the best rates for all international transfers, use a service such as Wise.com (formerly TransferWise). They give you the actual market rates for the currencies in question and their fees are incredibly reasonable. I have used them countless times without any issue.
  5. I don't understand this sentiment. Anything is always worth whatever people are willing to pay for it. Wals regularly swap hands for nearly double this on here and elsewhere. Why, because many, many people deem that they are "worth" that. This particular example sold quite cheaply compared to the current market values. No doubt that was due to collection only and cash on collection.
  6. I only know because I owned one and someone told me it was painted...
  7. Except that isn't a veneer. It's actually painted believe it or not.
  8. There were a few models of later Rockbasses that featured neckthru builds. The tell tale signs of a Rockbass are multi piece maple neck that is part of a non-hidden neck thru design and also high gloss finish. The made in China stamped on the back of the neck is also a giveaway
  9. I think everyone is sleeping on this bass! The Jazzman is the most versatile Warwick there is! This is a full blooded German Warwick with unbelievable tonal versatility, top quality hardware and fantastic ergonomics. Stone cold bargain!!!
  10. I agree, very unusual to see. Great basses - the range of the tone filter is really unbelievable!
  11. I wonder if the ink will line up correctly with the ballpoint or come out misaligned...🤔
  12. If only they had thought to put a pickup guard on it to hide the shoddy alignment... ... it probably would have ended up like this:
  13. You are right but for me it's even worse than that. IMO they should never be producing instruments with such poor quality in the first place. Especially not at this price point. And to then let such a poor instrument be given out for review is a triple fail! But given the terrible setup on the bass they have been using for the promotional photos, seems they just don't give a stinky poo anymore.
  14. That's! I've owned nearly 80 basses and never had such issues. Mostly though the basses I've owned are older basses. The only bass I've bought new was a Yamaha TRB4 II in 2000. Built like a tank and impeccable build quality. Also, I've only ever owned 1 Fender so maybe that explains it...
  15. ive just posted the video on Fender Germany's Facebook page. Let's see how they react...😬
  16. I think it would be mostly fixed by improved production methods, better quality control and people actually giving a sh!t about the products they are making...
  17. Online retailers should take a few minutes to setup a bass before posting promotional pics...
  18. The string location relative to the pup looks ok. However, the E string looks too far away from the edge of the fretboard - the opposite of what Lobster had to deal with.
  19. Don't look in the BC classifieds then...
  20. 100% agree. I shudder when I see flame maple tops on exotic basses as it almost always will look tacky or remind me of tacky instruments...
  21. Up for sale is a vintage Ibanez MS10 Metal Charger distortion pedal. The pedal is in excellent condition, functions perfectly and comes complete with the original box and user manual. The pedal has just been serviced - all of the potentiometers and contacts have been cleaned and the pedal has been fully checked over and given a clean bill of health. The pedal is missing one of the original knobs but I have included a knob the fits the pedal and functions perfectly. If you dont like it, you can just pull it off. From original sales brochure: Features If you are looking for that hot and heavy, massive metalmania distortion, hook up with an Ibanez MS10. It has more "raw gain" than any other distortion available. It has five controls to let you really capture the rage in your guitar. There is a Drive control that varies the amount of distortion, an Attack control for predistortion, treble and boost and Punch and Edge controls that provide post distortion equalization. Plug into an MS10 and you will swear that you have a wall of power behind you. Use The MS10 was designed specifically to recreate the tonality of large British amplifiers. Because of various reasons including different tubes (valves), equalization voicing, speaker characteristics and cabinet resonances these amps sound drastically different than other amps. The punch control simulates the cabinet resonance at certain low frequencies while the attack and edge concentrate on high frequency e.q. and speaker traits. Distortion is adjustable and at full settings simulates not only pre-amp clipping bu adds the effect of power-amp and speaker overdrive. As with any distortion device, location in the "chain" or signal flow is very important. It is usually desirable to distort the guitar signal first before adding further processing (with possible exception of compression). Since many large "stacks" don't have effect loops or outputs after the pre-amp, these amps are "miked" and the sound engineer adds processing to the microphone channel. In large halls or studios this is fine because the guitarist hears the finished product through a fine monitoring system. But for most players this is impossible. Even if you own an amplifier like this, chances are you aren't getting the "finished product". The MS10 at the front of a chain of processors may actually sound better than processors fed into expensive amplifiers. Don't distort your processing, distort the guitar then process the distortion. (experiment with placement of e.q., compressor and phaser, but always place delay effects "post distortion") Shipping to UK will be 18GBP, within the EU 15€ and within Germany 6€

  23. **SOLD** For sale is a beautiful vintage high-end Ibanez from the late 80's. Research shows the model number is SR800LE and the serial number reveals it was made in the legendary FujiGen factory Year of Production: September 1987 Serial Number: 42619 Features: Offset Double Cutaway Basswood Body, Bolt-On 3-Piece Maple Neck, 24 Fret Rosewood Fingerboard with Mother of pearl inlays, Gotoh tuners, AccuCast B20 bridge, an active Regulated Lo-Z J-style and an active Regulated Lo-Z P-style Ibanez pickup, Volume / Blend / Bass and Treble EQ controls, black hardware. This bass has a very clear and powerful tone, it's incredibly easy to play and the EQ offers plenty of adjustment options to find your perfect tone. This is the second SR800LE I have owned. The other was used in a different tuning - this one was only used in the standard tuning. Overall the bass is in very good condition, especially for a 35 year old instrument! All electronics work perfectly, as does the truss rod and hardware. There are a few minor dents as you would expect on any used instrument but you have to look closely to find them - see photos The fingerboard has been cleaned and oiled, the frets have been cleaned and polished. All potentiometers have been cleaned with a contact cleaner so they work perfectly. Nice ergonomic and well balanced bass. At just 3.6 kg, it's also pretty light! The bass comes in a Warwick gig bag, packed in a sturdy shipping carton. Shipping to UK £55, EU £25 - cheaper options are available if I detach the neck and the buyer reattaches it upon arrival....
