Good for you - doesn't do any harm to live dangerously now & again. Got a similiar thing too, though myself in a couple of weeks. Who's the band?

Just sent of the pickups from a 70's Japcrap Kimbara Jazz copy to Andy for rewinding today. As you can see from the photo, the Kimbara's pickup routings are not the standard type, so replacement pickups are not possible. Love this bass, wanna keep it. Been after a Jazz that I like for a while - the neck is perfect for me, being like the old Fender 'U' profile, plus it's a nice weight. However, the pickups although not that weedy @ 7.5k, are bit too clanky sounding, and chords are a bit muzzy, not clear. Spoke to Andy with regard to what sort of tone I after, & he recommended I get the pickups rewound to Wizard '64' spec. So off they went! Looking forward to getting them back & hearing the results Cheers

[i][size=4]*SOLD - Pending Payment*[/size][/i] [size=3][b]1990 Jap Squier Precision[/b][/size] Sad to see this cracking bass go..... It has a great tone, lovely player (fast neck), but already got a Tokai & a CAR CIJ '62 RI, and no space for another in the rack, so can't justify keeping it. There's a few dings in the body. Neck is good, as are the frets. I would put a tort scratchplate on it, if I were to keep it - would look the business! This is a [i]good[/i] P-Bass. Whoever buys this will not be disappointed with it. [b][size=2]£150[/size][/b] Collection OK, could drop off in Bristol/Bath area & Postage is fine. Please PM me if interested, or if you have any questions etc.... Thanks -

[quote name='EssentialTension' post='1002466' date='Oct 27 2010, 02:06 PM']I was in the workshop of a well known UK luthier a while back. There was a can of Pledge sitting around.[/quote] Same here. Lavender scented variety for me.

[quote name='1976fenderhead' post='1004231' date='Oct 28 2010, 07:21 PM']Yup, $285, (£180), absurd. Thanks a lot for the link, what controls are in it, is it only bass and attack?[/quote] Yep, just the gain & attack. Does seem high, but there again compare that to a ZVex Woolly Mammoth, & I guess the guy who builds them has got to make a living too.

I guess you're after something like this [url="http://www.viva-analog.com/"]Viva Analog [/url] supply the PCB & build instructions fo $55 & the pedal for $285 Here's a link to a better schematic for the fuzz [url="http://freestompboxes.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=7964&hilit=acoustic+360"]Freestompboxes Forum - Acoustic 360 Fuzz[/url] Shouldn't be a particularly difficult build for anyone who does pedals.

[quote name='cocco' post='1002081' date='Oct 27 2010, 09:45 AM']MIJ/CIJ for me is the way to go. I have 2 jap fenders which are a million times better than any American or Mex ones I've ever played.[/quote] +1. Me too, don't think I'd ever go back to any MIA, unless I found a really good one. Regarding Mex Fender; would rather have a good MIJ or VM Squier TBH.

By coincidence I quit my band last night too! Plenty of other bands around, something better will turn up. Good idea to register with bandmix, musofinder, join my band, etc.. Updating my profile this evening. Good luck mate.

Another option if you want to keep the CS-3 is to get it modded. I did the [url="http://www.ovnilab.com/reviews/bosscs3.shtml"]Ovnilab mod[/url] to one I had - totally transformed it. Use a Multicomp now, but definitely rate the modded CS-3, will probably buy another one at some stage & mod it again.

That is gorgeous.

[quote name='Ukelele Salad' post='990211' date='Oct 16 2010, 02:04 PM']Many thanks! New development: changed the battery and now there is nothing but a brief flash of life as the cable goes in! There's life in the old girl, but it's being bypassed somewhere. The mystery continues. I have heard Boss are very hard to get any info out of as well. La di da[/quote] Hi, Noticed you're in Bristol. Depending on where you are, more than happy to have a look at this for you. By no means an expert, but I've built & fixed a few pedals in my time. PM me if needed. Cheers

[i]*SOLD - PENDING PAYMENT*[/i] [b]Peavey Centurion MKIII Amp & 1x15 Cab[/b] Bought this locally a little while ago. My V-Type rig was out on loan & I needed something (temporarily) to gig with. It works fine, loud & sounds pretty good - would like to keep it as a back-up, but (according to the boss) we don't have the space. The head is a loud 130watts; Two channels, with ability to automix both & a very flexible Parametric EQ section. Two speaker outs. The cab is 1x15. Don't know the make, but it handles the amp fine, doesn't fart etc.. & it's not as too bulky or heavy as my TE 1153. Its in not bad codition, but there are a few scuffs & scrapes - though nothing highly noticeable. [b]£110 o.n.o.[/b] Pickup from Bristol, I can possibly drop-off locally. I could also post, but not sure of the cost. Please PM me if interested, if you have any questions, offers etc... Thanks

[quote name='Bassassin' post='976991' date='Oct 4 2010, 12:49 PM']Kimbara J for £20??? Anyway, £20 is a steal, as would £50 have been. Lovely bass and please take more pics! Jon.[/quote] I know Jon... was quite surprised I bagged it at £50, as most decent vintage Japcrap seems to get flagged up on here now. Guess Kimbara, may not be on everyone's radar yet. You can probably recall, Mayas for example going cheap a couple years ago, then a few peple start mentioning them on forums etc... Not that familiar with Kimbara myself, but you're right it does have a 'quality' feel to it. Dare I say more than a lot of the other Jazz copies I've had, exception being Tokai. I know of a local respected guitarist who also raves over his Kimbara strat copies. Anyway here's a few more pics for you -
