    No love for one of the very best fretless basses I've been fortunate enough to own, or even just play during the past four decades ?? You know you've always wanted a fretless !! and this beauty has all the attributes, sounds and build quality of instruments costing a scrillion times more - honest Injun - dip yer bread !!

    As the 'one in - one out' rule apparently still applies, as so kindly pointed out by the current Kitchen Viper and having just acquired a really nice Status - here is my lovely Yamaha BBNF lll Fretless 4 String Bass. Alder Body in natural finish Double octave, lined Rosewood fingerboard, the lines extend over the edge of the board and the position dots are in the usual place as on a fretted bass, so even a 'Fretless duffer' like me can play in tune. Maple bolt on neck Two passive very powerful Soapbar style pickups Controls are neck p/u volume, bridge p/u volume and master tone control 34" Scale The action is low and the neck is very comfortable to play, currently sporting flat wound strings to protect the really nice condition of the fingerboard. There are a few marks and the odd scratch, but overall it is in very good condition for it's age. It is lightweight and comes with a brand new Protection Racket faux sheepskin lined Gig Bag and an owners manual sheet, parts list, and circuit diagram etc. Collection preferred, but can post out if you are too far away, at the buyers expense - should be £25 ish via Parcelforce48

    Please excuse my ignorance if I'm wrong, but doesn't the '5' on the neck stamp relate to a 'Precision' model and not the actually day/date in this year of manufacture?? Lovely bass anyroadup - droooool !! GLWTS - but I don't think you'll need it type bump !!

    I have owned quite a few Italian made Markbass amps, including LittleMark series 2's & 3's - two LMK's and two - (one of which blew up) - F1's' All of them were great amps - even the F1 that blew up ...................... until it blew up !! Due to not gigging very much in my dotage - if at all , but still being a fan of the MB sound I bought a MB Blackline 250 and in my very humble opinion the build quality, sound and functionality is no better and no worse than the other MB amps I've owned, is as loud as heck & sounds 'fab' !! There were two big pluses for me in buying one of these - the cost and as an old codger, I prefer the more subdued appearance of the fascia. Top marks to Marco for producing a high quality product, at a price that even us Pensioners can afford !! Oh and by the by - I knew exactly where it was manufactured prior buying, without very much digging & as with the Italian models - it weighs next to nothing........... !!

    Thanks Daniel, I think I just got lucky! - it's all original, arrow straight neck, allowing for an incredibly low 'playable' action, massive output from the pick ups. lightweight and plays like the proverbial dream - phew!! - I haven't been able to put it down for the past two weeks, so it has the added advantage of keeping me away from the fridge !! I was originally thinking of a pre - CBS jobbie, but I can't imagine 'any' Precision from any era would suit me better than this beauty, plus I just couldn't resist those Lollipop tuners !! All the best Tim

    Hi, no - it's the original sunburst paint job - but the more I look at it, the more it looks like Ash to me?
  12. dodgnofski
    Thanks for taking the trouble to post the pics dannybuoy - appreciated! Comparing the two - and if I had to bet my house on it, I'd plump for Ash as the grain resembles the top pic way more than Alder pic?? Any more offers??
  13. dodgnofski
    Thanks again Guys - appreciated, she is quite light - 8lbs 7oz so I suppose it could be either??
  14. dodgnofski
    Thank you for your response - It sounds quite smooth and even toned throughout the fingerboard, but seems to have 'endless'sustain compared to all the other P's I've owned, or played over the many years??!!
  15. dodgnofski
    It would just be nice to know for sure - that's all, thanks.
  16. dodgnofski
    Thanks Guys - very much appreciated, looks like all the evidence points towards Red Alder? but I still have a niggling doubt that it 'could' be ash, or even swamp ash??.........
  17. dodgnofski
    The Bass Doc strikes again! where the ruddy heck would we be without him?? Thanks for saving the day - yet again H Great Guy, great service - as always!!!

    Hi Chaps & Chapesses - does anyone know what type of wood this is please? Ash? Alder? etc? My guess would be be Ash, but if it helps it's a 1968 Precision Many thanks Tim
  20. dodgnofski
    Hello my learned friends - does anyone know what type of wood this is please? Ash, Alder? My guess 'would' be (pardon the pun) - Ash? - it's a 1968 Precision, if that helps? All donations gratefully received - thank you Tim

    Hi Davy, sorry - I'm 5 minutes from Junction 15 of the M6 in sunny Staffordshire - but posting is no problem.

    Here is my really wonderful Fender Squier PJ Precision Bass Special - which is in incredible condition for an almost 15 year old instrument, with no dings or issues - just a few surface marks from being played. Specs:- Made in May 1999 Maple neck Lovely 'slabby - fied' rosewood fingerboard Precision Body Jazz neck Split Precision pickup in the usual position Jazz pickup in the bridge position Volume, Volume, Master Tone control configuration This answers the ' do I need the thump and deep bass tone of a Precision, or the growl of a Jazz'?? dilemma - by providing the best of both worlds. And unlike the Fender Hotrod version I used to own, it has a separate volume for each pickup not a pan pot, which drove me mad! Although this is a passive bass, the output from both pickups is very powerful and produce a wide variety of tones. The bass has been well set up, at a cost equivalent to the national debt of a small country, currently sports Fender flat wound strings and plays like the proverbial dream - in fact, a lot nicer than the Fender Hotrod ever did! Don't make the same 'mistaka to maka' that I used to 'maka' in thinking that because it says Squier on the headstock that it must somehow not be as good as the more expensive Fender models - this is well put together from top quality materials and plays as well and better than a lot of the basses I've owned, or played during the past 40 years! Only selling as I have a Fretless on the way for a new project and as so rightly and 'quickly' pointed out by the current Kitchen Viper 'we' ?? operate a strictly 'one in, one out' rule in this establishment - apparently - anyone know a good snake charmer:)?? Cash on collection preferred, I'm 5 minutes away from Junction 15 of the dear old M6 in sunnny Stoke on Trent - but would post out - but I don't have a hard case for it - so it may be advisable to remove the neck, which may alter the current superb set up of course, but it should be a breeze to regain upon reassembly - four screws - not four candles! £225.00 including shipping to the UK Mainland - payment via Paypal as a gift, or Bank Transfer
