  1. Ben bought my Fender CIJ '62 Reissue off me. A nice guy to deal with and a hassle free transaction - recommended. Cheers Nick
  2. Bumpage! :-)
  3. Vox do a good mid-priced curly lead IMO. Had mine for a few years now, tons of gigs with no issues.
  4. PMUB!
  5. [quote name='NJE' timestamp='1385650787' post='2290700'] Hope you don't mind me asking, did the bass originally have the vintage reverse tuners with the long tuning posts? were the highway one types a direct replacement or were there extra screw holes needed? Many thanks. [/quote] The bass didn't originally have reverse tuners. The better more stable Highway One replacements didn't require any additional screw holes to be fitted either.
  6. [quote name='Hank' timestamp='1385591324' post='2290173'] How does the neck compare to a USA Precision? [/quote] If you're talking current USA standard...from what I recall the '62 neck is a little wider,though less thick, and with a rounder fretboard profile & vintage thin frets.
  7. Bumpage!
  8. [quote name='Noisyjon' timestamp='1385387358' post='2287580'] Very, very nice. Are you up for a trade at all Nick? [/quote] Thanks, it is quite a special bass this one Really after cash TBH, and I'm pretty much sorted for everything I need...what were thinking trade wise?
  9. [quote name='NJE' timestamp='1385319282' post='2286863'] That's nice, what is the nut width? [/quote] Thanks... it's a standard '62 width, just a shade under 1.75".

  11. [quote name='hookys6stringbass' timestamp='1385208856' post='2285599'] Great basses ...wish I still had my 4 string Shergold... it was even better when id replaced the standard 100 pots with 250ohm pots.... [/quote] +1.... IMO upgrade to 250k pots is really needed on Shergolds. I've also rewired the pickup on mine from weedy anaemic sounding parallel wiring to series (in mono) as per P-Bass. It's an easy reversible mod but makes a massive difference - like night & day. Here's my 1980 beauty: [url="http://s1087.photobucket.com/user/nickonbass69/media/shergold_zps06ed797f.jpg.html"][/url]
  12. [color=#ff0000][b]*SOLD* - Mods Please Delete[/b][/color] [b]2004 Fender CIJ '62 Reissue Precision for sale[/b] In a lovely shade of vintage orangey fiesta red - possibly a salmon pink(?) , Fender 4-ply tortoise shell pickguard, with spiral saddle 'vintage' correct bridge. Upgrades:[list] [*]Seymour Duncan 'Vintage' SPB-1 pickup [*]CTS Pots & switchcraft jack socket [*]PIO tone cap [*]Fender bridge & pickup covers [*]Tuners upgraded to Fender USA 'Highway One' type. [/list] Bass is in great condition, with no noticeable dinks. Only defect is a small chip in the lacquer down in recess of neck pocket, with is difficult to spot anyway. The neck is good, with no issues - finished in a cool vintage tint colour. It's a nice player, comfortable & not too chunky, basically a good '62 profile. No wear to the thin vintage style frets, would guess from their condition that this bass has always had flats on it. It's currently strung with nice thumpy 45-105 Status flats with a low to medium action, but can put a set of 45-105 Fender nickel rounds on if buyer prefers. Genuine reason for sale... I already have an old Tokai that I can't part with, which although just as good as this '62 RI (IMHO) I can't justify having two P-Basses at the moment, plus I need the money towards another purchase. So sorry no trades please ... This has the big P-Bass tone & classy looks at a bargain price. Whoever bags this bas in their Christmas stocking will be happy with it. Location is Bristol/Bath area, but happy to post anywhere in UK or Europe if needed. Please PM me if you have any questions or would like any more info.

  13. I live not far from Kingswood Richard. PM me... Cheers Edit. Apologies - I'm near the Kingswood in South Gloucestershire. Sorry! :-(
  14. Love it. Sort of reminds me of some of Bowie's 'Station to Station' with the brilliant George Murray on bass, which is fine by me
  15. Great to see you back Jon!

    Octave Pedal

    [quote name='GazWills' timestamp='1382700417' post='2255571'] hi Nick to be honest, they were parts I had been playing before with an OC-2, so I had tailored the lines to the tracking of the OC-2. Didn't have the time to sit down with the pedal and explore that much... but I think bettern than an OC-2. Held notes were not glitching nearly as quickly as with the BOSS. [/quote] Cool.... just ordered a PCB for a OC-7 from Madbean. I'm gonna build a clone, find out for myself! Cheers Nick

    Octave Pedal

    [quote name='GazWills' timestamp='1382637221' post='2254880'] I'm in the studio this week and been using a pearl octave into various fuzzes, synth bliss!! [/quote] Hi Gaz, how do you find the tracking on the Pearl? Also how low does it go? Currently using an EBS which is alright, but fancy an octave up pedal myself, the Pearl OC-7 sounds interesting. Cheers Nick
  18. 'Pressure Drop' album by Robert Palmer..... Some great funky playing from James Jamerson on this [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-IfD2Ft8zPU"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-IfD2Ft8zPU[/url]
  19. [quote name='Groove Harder' timestamp='1378733258' post='2203843'] Hi, Nick. Sorry, I just saw this post. Don't suppose you have any soundbytes do you? I believe that there is a few different EMG P Bass pickup models so I'm not sure which video on Youtube would be the closest to your EMG. Cheers [/quote] No worries just caught your post! Didn't realise EMG now did so many different P-Bass pickups, quite a few! If you're still interested here's a couple of clips of the great Bobby Vega demoing 'original' EMG P-Bass pickup FYI If interested, please PM me, cheers.
