  1. I’ll have this if still going?
  2. Sell me your Punchline 😎😅
  3. Sold Paul an Adam Clayton Jazz - met up halfway and was great to deal with - quick at replying and by looks of it one happy customer - the jazz wasnt for me bit seems it's found its home.
  4. Got Mercalli from Geoff - great communication and shipping - packed great and great little bass - great BCer
  5. Yeah it’s just that bit heavy for my back. Got lighter one incoming so no point having it in a case - needs to be out gigging this one
  6. Surplus to requirements- useful EQ, good compression, big drive and mute switch. What is handy is the tuner out too. Can switch off LED blue lights on top knobs. Threshold LED not working built like a tank - heavy enough to be stand alone. Velcro if for board. postage £5 UK
  7. didnt video much of me it seems bit more here
  8. Bought this from TomJbass on here just last month and although it's a stellar jazz it's just that tad heavy for me - it's just over 9.5lbs (i played an 11lbs jazz for 17 years) ever since i fell of my bike and did my shoulder, though it's well balanced, after 2 hours it's starting to pull on my upper back - seems to have got worse with age. So sadly going to let some younger buck or doe(?) have the pleasure - that's the bad for me here's the good. Apart from looking absolutely stunning...What a neck! well done Mr Clayton on your custom shape - so ergonomic, and the gloss feels like glass - played a very sweaty gig on Saturday and a very wet festival the week before and had zero issues with sticking. Glides - frets are great too - dont feel a thing. BUT by far the best thing are these 60s custom shop pickups - noiseless and full of oomph - with a nordy mute and just the neck pup, it's Jamerson central - the bridge is more quiet, but is crystal, i did make the bridge pup a bit further from the strings to fit my taste as was too barky for me as was, you could raise for more bite. Together though neck full and bridge 60% is by far the best sounding and feeling jazz i've had. Pictured here with tort pick, comes with original antique white pearl guard. Strap locks and gotoh butterbean tuners (original not with original purchase) - There is one small ding (pictured) but has been looked after since new by tom. Have done set up, oiled neck and strung with D'Addario flats with great low action. No buzzes just great articulate notes. All case candy too. If this was 8lbs it would be the one for me - the plan is to copy as much as poss on my lighter jazz (pups, tuners, etc) also have another lighter bass inbound - so grab a bargain - just seen Fender have put these up again to £2539! Price inc postage to UK only - comes in case. Can knock off a few quid for pic up. Feel free if you want to come to Clitheroe to have a bash. sorry no trades Can be heard on several videos from this guy from Saturday
  9. Anywhere UK to get replacement guards for Reverend Mercalli? - would like to get a tort one.
  10. Good to meet you. Good luck with the 73
  11. Just done first festival with it. Loved it.
  12. I’ve put a mint green on now like it but might go back to tort or anodised gold
  13. First rehearsal last night. Band commented on how full it sounded.
  14. Just got this from @Tomjbass (cheers bud, good guy) the 1967 Jazz is my favourite jazz - Adam Yauch’s stripped J is my absolute fave. Second to that is Sherwood Green or a gassed off Lake placid Blue to Ocean Turquoise- lollipop tuners, block inlays…so when the Adam Clayton came out, I was looked and thought yeah looks great but for some daft reason signature basses seemed too fanboy. also new too expensive and I’m not a U2 or Adam Clayton fan in particular. But I kept looking at Tom’s ad, and thought it might be perfect for what I’m doing. At approximately 9.5lb a bit heavier than the player 2 next to it but not much. I had the player 2 as a back up the the P bass I’m reluctantly selling - and just had a full set up on it. Luthier ran glue under the frets as a couple frets were dead and a full fret level and dress now it plays brill- but I’m now afraid it’s not going to get played The reason being - did a set up to my taste, oiled board, stuck a tort guard on and been playing it all weekend. The neck has a great silky urethane and a custom AC shape, quite a hard maple and bit neck divey, the frets feel really worn in and rounded edges. So great to play for hours. The best thing though, are the pickups, superb range of tones, if the player 2 had those pickups would be perfect. The heck soloed with birds mute us pure Jameson vibes, and a pick with bridge and 50% neck is brilliant- the time I need for my band. So when my P goes, I’ll be sad but ok going forward with this Jazz. Cheers Tom.
  15. strip it- strip it- strip it!
  16. You can’t see it? I can - just off rehearsal- can send later
  17. Bottom pic of me playing is at a festival and represents what colour the bass is.
  18. i've had the previous model for abour 5/6 years and it's been a rock - the only annoying feature is the DI/Tuner out being underneath at back - annoys me each gig - good to see that stuff on top now - if they could make one with the MB compressor then it'd be perfect - great amps - bought the extension took it to Newcastle City Hall and it was way too much said the engineer- sold the cab - just been using the combo - light and loud - all you need
  19. looks better IRL
  20. Yes think so. Absolutely grade A sanding and sealing job - done by someone who knows what they’re doing. Not sure about the heal but really comfortable
