Met up with Rik to do a swap - now the proud owner of a punchy and very playable P Bass. Another successful transaction with a great BC member!

Bought a bass from Andrew a few days ago; always a pleasure to meet another BC'er in person, even if it was only for 5 mins in train station car park! Great instrument, exactly as described.

Cheers Andrew

Do you guys think the 70s v 60s bridge pick up location makes a difference to the 'Jazz' sound? Certainly Marcus Miller has the 70s location - not sure whether Jaco altered his. 

There's a subtle difference you can spot when compared side by side; the V7 vs V7 vintage videos online would indicate this.  Could someone tell my Vintage from the normal V7 live in a band? Maybe....

Jazz Bass, everything up.

Roundwounds of any brand.

Pick.

Ampeg stack (optional)

Si

 

*its a recording, there will undoubtably be some EQing & compression happening by the engineer/masterer.

Yes, last point very valid!

Not sure - can’t open that link in safari

hmm, works fine with Chrome.

Really getting into this band: great album and lo-fi sound to everything they do. Good to see a Jazz bass too!

Any ideas of what else might be going on aside from the kit pictured to achieve that sound - particular strings perhaps?
No YouTube videos so it's a Spotify link instead:

Etienne bought a pedal board off me; he was very prompt with messages, paid straight away and was a pleasure to deal with!

ON HOLD PENDING TRADE  

PRICE DROP - £900
In very good condition with a touch of wear on top of the headstock (pictured), in great condition. The frets and electronics are faultless.
It was setup a couple of months ago and plays really well. I'm still surprised how light and well-balanced these instruments are. It comes with a Gibson hard case.

Postage available but collection in or near Bristol is preferable (and trials are more than welcome)

Hi folks,

Moving this on to a good home (I hope).  
ON HOLD --- Boss BF-2 Flanger                                       - £45

The Flanger is from the early 90's but has had only light use and works perfectly. Some say they prefer this to the newer BF-3. There are lots of videos online to see how it fares.

Postage at buyer's cost or collection from in or near Bristol is ideal.

Duo ^^ ..? That's a lot of tracks to play and sing at once for a duo..! 

Indeed; bassist loops the synth in while playing, pretty impressive!

Oh and stepping into new stuff again..... Death from Above have knocked out another cracker.  An excellent bass and drums duo that show the bloated and boresome Royal Blood how it's done:

Seems to be a lot of nostalgic stuff listed here.....

As modern rock goes i.e. not dad rock / metal noodling, White Reaper nailed it this year with World's Best American Band:

Not really after either of those chap, let me know if you're interested in a straight sale.

The USA Jaguar is a great PJ option.

On the Jaguar the P pickup is about 20mm closer to the nut than a standard P.  The pickups on the US Jaguar are switched, rather than blended, and some think this gives a sound that's closer to an actual Precision.   I don't know about that but I do know that the Jaguar gives an excellent Precision sound.

Frank.

Just been checking these out, thank you Frank!

Thanks again all. This has done nothing to dampen my desire to get a P bass, not sure if I can justify it right now  but will see what's around....

thanks folks, the point about positioning does confirm what I thought I had read somewhere. 

I'd say this would be the "70s" configuration as mentioned:

Hello all,

I'm procrastinating as to the purchase of a P Bass; I have an old (and rather good, for me at least) P/J, and having seen several nice looking Ps and P/Js for sale, am wondering the following:

Does the pickup placement in a straight P make much (or any) difference to its placement on a P/J? I use the P pickup on its own quite a lot.

What does the Roadworn series offer aside from it, er, looking a bit battered? Seem to be a couple knocking around (Fender and a Limelight one at the time of writing).

Thanks in advance.

Afternoon all,

For sale is my Rocktron Midi Raider control pedal with box, cables, instructions + Thomann flight case.
These were around £400 when they were released a couple of years ago I think, the flightcase being another £95 - grab a bargain!

Ideal for effects-heavy performances and for use with the Kemper profiling amp.
Trials in Bristol welcome. 
Postage at buyer's cost, but collection would be preferable.

• Dimensions: 15.5" wide x 10.5" deep x 3.5" tall
• Weight: 10lbs
• Power requirements: 9VAC/1500mA

Details here:
http://www.rocktron.com/midi-raider.html

The Bank Mode has 120 presets and each instant switch can be set up global or per preset. Customize set-up as either 24 banks of 5 presets with 10 "instant" switches (effect on/off); or 12 banks of 10 presets with 5 instant switches (effect on/off); or 8 banks of 15 presets with no instant switches set up. All 15 access switches can also be set up to "instant", operating as a huge instant access "pedal board".

Song Mode allows up to 150 songs to be stored with 15 presets per song. The 10 sets allow placement of 50 songs per set.

Remote mode automatically programs the footswitch to match Rocktron remote-compatible units. Titles and individual switch functions will automatically program and continuously update themselves on both the rack unit and the MIDI Raider foot controller. Functions like tap delay, mute, boost and effects on/off instantly appear when connected to a Rocktron remote jack without any programming.

I'm also interested to know, as I'm contemplating the same thing.

SOLD

Open to trade offers with cash your way - basses only

Hi all,

Putting this back up for sale as my impending cab arrangement will make it redundant.

It's in great condition, works perfectly and comes with a Gear4music 3U rack case - rigid  but with a fabric outer, cable pouch carry handle and shoulder strap.

Total RRP for this lot is £716 (!) new so grab yourself a classic amp with legendary tone and robustness.

Trials in Bristol welcome.

Hi all,

Rig change-around means I'm definitely moving this on now.
These are now going for £670 (!!!) new in the UK, so I think this fair for an item / brand with renowned build quality and longevity.

I MIGHT be interested in trade for a compact Class D head (200 - 350W type thing) with cash transfer as appropriate, give me a shout if that sounds good.

I don't think I need to go into detail about what it's like. Good condition inside and out and comes with a Gear4music 3U case with carry handle and pouches - very convenient.
The original rack ears will of course be supplied.

More photos can be supplied as requested, tryouts in Bristol welcome.

Do have a look at my other post for pedals etc also.
