    SOLD elsewhere Fender G-DEC Junior Guitar combo

    in Accessories & Other Musically Related Items For Sale

    Posted · Edited by Aidan63

    Great versatile Guitar 15 watt practice amplifier that is small (34x34x19cm), light (sub 7Kg), and portable and comes with multiple simulated amplifiers and effects, rhythm and accompaniment features and Aux input and headphone out so you can practice on your own or play with friends as loudly or as quietly as you like. I have used it for practice with UkeBass at low volumes and it sounds great especially on the acoustic amps and mad on the more driven options and with the built in rhythms is very useful for practice.

    Good condition, slight tarnishing of the strap covers and a couple of small marks on the vinyl covering

    Price includes mainland UK courier shipping

    Squier Jazz Maple fretboard black bound and blocks

    in Accessories & Other Musically Related Items For Sale

    I can't really see that anyone will want this but you never know...

    Complete fretboard from a 2011 Squier VM Jazz bass, that's satin finish, very little lacquer on fingerboard, 20 frets little wear on frets

    Maple fingerboard, black plastic bound and blocks, there was some slight lift on three of the blocks before I stripped board off the neck, maybe a little more lift now; it came off cleanly and surprisingly easily with some heat from a travel iron on a steel ruler on top of the frets as per the YouTube videos I watched before attempting it, no damage on the back face, I haven't removed the glue residue, just put it on a flat surface with some weight on it whilst it cools down

    I can post pictures later but I think we all know what it looks like, 38mm nut width, 65mm at widest part of the neck pocket, 34" scale length

    £15 plus shipping complete with the 10 white plastic fret markers from the top of the neck which are originally positioned half in neck half in fretboard so there are semi circle holes in the top edge of the binding (Right handed neck so if you use it on a left handed one the holes will be on the bottom edge)

    Removed to replace with a fretless maple board like a 70s P, afaik Maple board fretless Jazz weren't made for production, maybe one offs or custom

    in eBay - Weird and Wonderful

    It seems to depend a bit on your ebay feedback count; I bought a couple of items last year that were not as described, the vendors both tried to pull the you pay return postage card to try and force me to keep the items as the postage was significant compared to cost of items; I complained to Ebay got them to call me and explained the issues and Ebay issued me the return labels and doubtless recharged them to the vendors - I don't think you should have to pay to return items that are not as described. My Ebay feedback is over 1300 positives as I buy stuff for the business on there all the time as I live rural, if I need some bearing fit then no point in driving 20 miles to go and get it when the postman drives the 20 miles to come here every day. I also managed to get negative feedback I had left for one sale that was reneged on, that the overseas vendor managed to get removed, reinstated as Ebay had to accept that what I had written was accurate, truthful and polite, as they had the communications between me and the vendor and I had originally flagged up the issue within an hour of the sale to Ebay themselves hoping that would help to ensure the vendor honoured the sale. They couldn't explain why the feedback was removed and it was reinstated. But since then they have changed the website so many times that complaining in any meaningful way or navigating to the point where you can actually contact Ebay has got way harder; like with Parcel2go the only way to talk to them is webchat and you have to be online to do it and it is slow and tedious, you can't just email them with the problem and await their response.

    A short video from Ed Friedland aka the bass whisperer popped up on my YouTube feed this morning telling us he's going to be posting again after a gap of a few years and will be contributing to the new BassMagazine.com online you guessed it which appears to be the US staff from Bass Player set up on their own away from the corporate magazine world doing what they always did. No idea yet what a sub will cost as that page is still under construction but there's some articles posted to get you interested in what is to come.

    SylviaBluejay will probably know more

    System to make any bolt-on bass "foldable" - is there a market for such a thing

    There is a bass with a removable neck for travel, they also do guitars, but they are expensive and rarely available from the uk distributor

    in theory sounds like a good idea but how you could make one without modifying the bassic (sic) instrument I can't see and so would only really be applicable to basses so cheap you don't mind modifying sugnificantly

    This is not true. I thought the same, until I recently watched a video where a fender bass was played with its own neck, then a squire neck, everything was the same, but the sound difference was very obvious and different. The fender neck sounded far, far better.

    same nut ?
