  1. and if anyone knows, this man does...Excellent photos by the way.
  2. Ah apologies - I really like the look and sound of the Fender Jazz Elite 4 string with natural finish. Tried one in my local PMT and loved it. Only thing is the prices seem to be increasing every two weeks!
  3. Hi - just an abbreviation for 'special birthday bass - 50 next month.😁
  4. Thanks for the compliments- unfortunately it's almost sold - please see my post above
  5. V. Tasty playing sir and that Limelight sounds awesome 🤩
  6. Thanks Machines - Not really sure, it's a fab bass. I'm only selling it to raise funds for a Special Birthday Bass (SBB)
  7. Cheers - it's a reluctant sale. I can see why the Japanese-made fenders are held in such high regard.
  8. Hi folks, Long-time daily lurker and occasional poster here. Here's my beloved and beautiful Crafted in Japan Fender Jazz Marcus Miller Signature 4-string for sale only (No trades as I'm raising funds for a special birthday bass). It dates to 2004-2005, so is one of the first generation with the separate battery compartment. It's all-original and includes the neck PU cover. There hasn't been one of these up for sale for a while so grab it while you can. I've owned the bass since new alongside a P and Double H and it's fulfilled all the jazz bass-style requirements - great for 'musical' punch and 'honk' when played over the 70s position bridge pick-up and of course slap. The weight is 4.1 kg/9.0 lb I think - I will check that if anyone is interested. The sunburst finish is fantastic. This bass also has a lovely grain to the ash which shows through nicely. As it's around 14 years old, there are a couple of minor dings, which I tried and failed to photograph. There's a slight dint in the rear of the neck and another on the top body bout. Lastly, the scratchplate has a few marks (naturally!) and I've added a bit of foam under the preamp to stop it moving. A soft SKB gig bag is included in the price - The strings are very new Ernie Balls. I'm based in Newcastle upon tyne, and I would prefer to meet in person up to 100 miles from Newcastle to do the deal but I will ship at the buyer's expense. Specs (from Reverb) as follows; · Made in Japan · Body: Ash · Neck: 1-Piece Maple, “C” Shape (Gloss Urethane Finish) · Fingerboard: Maple with White Binding and White Pearl Block Position Inlays, 7.25” Radius (184 mm) · No. of Frets: 20 Medium Jumbo Frets · Pickups: 2 Vintage Jazz Bass Single-Coil Pickups · Controls: Volume 1.

    SOLD

    Quality bass for the asking price
  10. Painfully hilarious. It IS a spoof isn't it?
  11. I bought a cream scratchplate for my fiesta red Squier Classic Vibe P - Fitted perfectly but the top surface has started to lift/wrinkle after a really short time. (It's not the protective cellophane before you ask!😄) Admittedly it wasn't expensive (£15 IIRC) so I can't expect top quality but I did expect it to stay in one piece. Anyway, the tort one is back on. If I buy another aftermarket scratchplate in the future I think I'll pay a bit more in the hope of better quality. Steve.
  12. Great rig - I will be gigging this exact set up tonight with Mojoroller in Peterlee. Versatile two channel amp, cabs give plenty of clarity and projection for my 4- and 5- stringers. And it's plenty loud for small to medium size room GLWTS Stevie
  13. +1 to the Japanese-made Fenders. I'm seriously thinking of purchasing one of the 'Midnight' black-and-gold P basses. They really do look the business... Anyone had experience of them?
  14. Oh....my...goodness. I can't unsee that now.
  15. I was at Rush's gig at the NEC Birmingham on the 'Show of Hands' video. I think it was the 'Hold Your Fire' tour. Great gig it was too.
  16. Totally agree - this one one of my favourite Nik Kershaw tracks and Mr King sounds like he's really into the session and giving it his all. I know he gets criticized by some for overplaying but he gets it spot-on for this track IMO. I usually attempt to play along to everything i hear but I've never got close to playing this track right. L42's 'good man in a storm' is another great example of Mark's playing and a bassline I CAN play lol. Steve
  17. I'll be running an identical rig tonight with my blues band. Love the sound and portability. Also, no issues with volume and punch from me or previous audiences. Have a bump on me. 😁
  18. I don' normally bother to comment on stuff for sale but....Oh my goodness.
