Spector Tonepump 9v preamp with built in Gain Trim Pot. Vol Vol Bass Treble . Bass and Treble pots included and original Spector knobs x4 if you want them. Very little use as it was removed from the 2017 Spector Euro LX I bought recently on this site and replaced after about a year by the previous owner who included it with my bass. It’s in Excellent condition as a result but , for clarity ,as I haven’t seen it in action I’ll be happy for you to return it if you have any problems whatsoever and at my cost to return it. Works with Active or Passive pickups but read the diagram for the different Volume Pot K values required for each. £70 includes UK signed for Delivery. The Tonepump ( from all I have read) Gain Trim Pot can be adjusted ( rotated ) to a massive gain level but consensus shows that the central 50% setting is the best starting point. The Treb and Bass are both Cut and Boost. No centre detent on the pots. Treb takes the black and yellow pair of wires, 100K (A) pot. Bass pot 10K (C) takes the green and purple with black to back of pot. Please see my photos which agree with other photos with this combo of wire colours. The black and white pair at the end of the preamp are for the nearest pickup. You can see from the diagram that the first 3 wires at the other end of the unit go to Battery , Jack and Ring. No other diagrams available with this exact wire colour combo that I can find. The smudgy mark on the unit casing is just the remains of the adhesive pad it was originally secured with in the rear cavity. Thought best to leave it as it didn’t want to be peeled off easily. If you have any questions ( Non Technical! ) please ask. A quick Google search ( then click Images Tab at the Top) will bring up lots of other images of the wiring. The 7 photos on piece of card are of my Tonepump. I’ve added a couple of others from Google with the same wire colours in case it assures you. Meanwhile I hope you are well there. Best of luck.

Up for grabs are these excellent Audio Technica ATH-M50X Gun Metal Silver/Grey colour (GM) finish headies which are great for bass giving a neutral in my opinion and coping fine when your EQ is cranked up whether Bass Mids or Treble. I have very big ears , not wanting to blow my own trumpet of course! My flappers don’t quite snuggle easily into the ear pads and although the pads are comfy you need to get things just right. Fine as on ear if you like that. At GAK going at £115 now and all the Specs are there if you quick search , sorry, tried to copy and paste just now but it’s not pasting for some reason? . My £75 includes UK delivery. I’ll pad around the good box shown too. Also Search on audio-technica.com for “ ATH-M50X headphones “ , for some reason I my Copy Paste of the link isn’t working on here. Note the two adapters, one screw fit one push in and that fact the one cable end to the phones is a twist lock secure design so you need to get that right when you first use them. From Earole center to earole centre my noggin measures 17 inch , 43cm over the top with a tape and there’s an inch or two more adjustment with the band so these will fit a massive nut. They’d fit me if I wasn’t picky about the over ear factor. Maybe cos I wear specs, pressure points and all that. Anyway, I got these 2 years ago , they haven’t seen the light of day since apart from a couple of test sessions so they are Brand Spanking, if you like that kind of thing. 🤭 Thought of giving as a gift or selling locally but never got round to it. As I said, these are in Perfect Condition so you’re saving £45/50 quid on gak price as I’m paying for delivery. Better PM me quick then ! Hope you guys are well and not too troubled by Covid situation but I know a lot are. All the best to you and yours. Cheers. Quent

Hi Andy, that’s fine to use my Sire V7 description, no probs. Great price here with delivery you guys and it’s in really great nick as per photos and a beautiful bass. I was so impressed I got a P7 as couldn’t justify having 2 fretted Sires. (Though I do have a white V7 fretless fiver ! Gorgeous too.) Cheers, Quent

Thanks Ebenezer geezer. Yep, priced to sell and can’t lose anymore. Free UK Delivery. Stonking bass and very versatile. Cheers.

Following up mp3 sound samples issue, they open on my Mac via iTunes but not my iPad. hope this helps others open them OK. Cheers.

Great bass carl, i'm surprised it hasn't sold yet at this price. By the way, the mp3 sound files are saying unavailable on them as I view on my iPad. Wonder if others have this issue? Maybe just me?GLWT sale.

Hi everyone, Hope you’re all keeping well. Selling my perfect 2018 Sire V7 First Gen Marcus Miller 5 String due to lack of playing time on it mainly due to my Sire P7 fiver and Sire V7 5 fretless ( amongst other tasty bass distractions). Bought this new Dec 2018 and it has a 6 month old set of D’Addario nickel roundwounds on it. The allen keys are included and Free UK delivery and it really is in Mint Condition . Alder Body, dark rosewood fretboard with a lovely ivory binding to it. Perfect working order too. Neck set almost straight B is 2mm off 12th fret ( fretted at 1st ) and G 1.6 ish and there’s plenty of play either way left for the saddle heights for you to adjust. 9lbs 15oz, 4.5kg. OK for a Fiver but not lightweight. Gave it a polish and just a little Nomad A1 fretboard oil today ( a clean really, I oiled it fully in July) and only a quick fret polishing needed for them to shine so it will get to you sparkling. Great basses these in passive or active and the Tone control actually works whilst in Active so with the Mids having a frequency sweep control as well you’re spoilt for choice. No swirling on the bass anywhere , no dents or owt, no nuffink! Not even a case! It didn’t come with one. I’ll pack it in it’s Marcus Miller box and that will be inside a larger box well padded. Couldn’t fault it when it arrived and that’s how it still is. Enjoy the pics. Notice the nice wavy maple grain on the neck towards the body. I like it anyway. Here are the Specs and photos. PM me to buy it, very fair Black Wednesday price is £325 with free UK delivery so I’ll wait for that thank you because it’s Mint. Cheers all and I sincerely wish you well. Quent.

Hi guys, I have recently replaced the full Pre Amp system in my Warwick Thumb 4 Dirty Blonde Ltd Ed 2006 so the old one is up for grabs. Bought the bass on Basschat a year ago ( Dec). 3 Pots Push Pull ( Pre amp or Not ) on the dual Vol/Blend 500k, Mids 100k pot, then Dual Treb Bass 100k each with pull up for MM single coil Although the pre amp works fine and is Silent when not engaged ( Push Pull) I thought it a bit too hissy when the Pre Amp is engaged ( MEC Gold label Active pickups P and MM ) but I’ve since found out that is actually normal on some basses ( even though I have a few basses I must have been lucky re active noise ) so a Noise Gate is all that’s needed to keep the bass at bay when not playing. The new replacement is identical apart from a couple of part number changes on circuit diagram as you’ll see below. So my brand spanking new MEC M60057 one from Warwick and Pro fitted has the same lively hiss when engaged but at least I have a future proofed system in my lovely bass. I’m no Techy so please check out the diagrams and photos and PM me if you’re interested. Check my Feedback and I have been using this Preamp in the bass for nearly a year so it’s working as it should ( to quote my Luthier). Luthier Steve said the Jack Socket is the only thing that has an issue, the jack will be slightly loose in it but I used it for a year and had no problem. Steve removed the preamp with a resale in mind for me so the leads are all there and there are some plug in type connections. No knobs as they’re on my bass. That’s all I know so don’t ask me about compatibility as I had a like for like replacement. Cheers fellas and I hope you’re keeping safe. ( The Vaccines sounds familiar as a band name ). All the best. Quent

Swap idea now on Hold because I have an interested buyer currently. Will update you.

Hi Mr Wielder, Can you tell me the nut width and year of manufacture please? Thinking of a straight swap with my 2016 Fender Deluxe Active Jazz V MIM which is currently up for sale at £595 page 3+ to 4 as I write Sunday 10th May. Reduced from £725 initially so fair to you to suggest a straight swap I reckon. I now have an American Elite Jazz V hence me selling or trading for something pretty different. Cheers, Quent Oh, I can remove the sticker blocks of course and would clean the board , they flip off cleanly though they absolutely stay put and don’t affect playability at all. Mine comes with a Fender gig bag. Can you include similar with yours?

**** NOW £ 575 *** but only near offers. I’ll remove soon, no more offer price drops folks. Enjoy your weekends. May the Bass be with you !! 🤘 🤓

Thanks my friend. Alternatively new ones are available from Fender for £1049 currently. Bank Holiday GAS anybody?! 🤪 You know you deserve it !!

Mmmmmmmmmm ! You know you want one!

This bass is now £394 under GAKs price for this still current Fender. £575 is a great price so don’t miss out. Make me a close offer and it’s all yours. Brilliant noiseless pickups. Jazz for all genres of music. Have a good weekend keeping safe. Cheers. Quent.

OH! Chuffin 2015 advert ! 🙄

Hi, have you got those photos mate? If decent enough and typical length for a bass I could pick it up and pass you the £30. I’m far end of Foxhall Road Ips, beyond the Golf pub. Cheers

** Bass and Babicz bridge videos added before photos ** In a very dark Navy Metallic finish this hardly used 2015 Fender Active P Bass Special ( MIM ) is absolutely mint. They were made 2005-2016 and are Active Only , with a lovely skunk striped Jazz neck as standard , hence P Bass Special ( PJ too ). Bought new in May 2016 it has only had occasional home playing time. The Noiseless PJ pickups are awesome and I ended up getting an American Deluxe P which took priority. I had the bridge replaced professionally with a Gold Babicz bridge which completes the look of the bass and improves the sound of the bass , see Video below. I’m in Ipswich so I use guitarlodge.co.uk nearby in Felixstowe where Steve Barratt does fantastic work. ( see invoice in photos ). I had this done soon after getting the bass so I’m going to pay for that now by selling. Oh well. Can’t let it go unplayed. The guilt has finally got to me. I include Euro Sender fully insured delivery , a soft gig bag with tons of bubble protection and each end in a good outer box. The butt end strap button will be in the bag pocket, D’Addario Nickel Rounds slightly loosened etc. There’s the tag and minor paperwork too ( see photo ) Here is the official info and Spec followed by pics. ( Remember to tap the first one so they all pop up enlarged). Clean as a whistle too and I’ve oiled the fret board and polished smoother than in pics , just with grain up and down with a fine grade polishing cloth. Frets good and shiny with no wear. If you want to make a close offer that’s OK but I’ll not drop much. Rather leave on it here for ages until someone appreciates it. Here we go then..........ask away if you need to. Oh, also got 2016 Fender Deluxe Active Jazz V MIM Surf Pearl on here too. Bump for that tomorrow morning. Cheers all and keep safe. Description and Spec Fender offers the stylish and thunderous Deluxe Series Active Precision Bass Special guitar. This huge-sounding hybrid model features an alder body with a single-ply beveled gold vinyl pickguard and a maple Jazz Bass guitar neck (modern C shape) with a 20-fret, 9.5"-radius rosewood or maple fingerboard. Aboard are a standard alnico split single-coil Precision Bass pickup (middle) and a dual-coil ceramic Noiseless Jazz Bass pickup with nickel-plated pole pieces (bridge) with pan pot switching. Controls are master volume, pan and three-band active EQ with treble boost/cut (+/- 10 db at 8kHz, a shift in the cut frequency, and about a 2dB slope per octave), mid boost/cut (+10dB, -15dB at 500Hz, and a wide band slope) and bass boost/cut (+/- 12db at 40Hz, with a 4dB slope per octave). Other features include chrome hardware, American Vintage Precision Bass bridge, side-mounted jack and deluxe gig bag.

Here’s my Beautiful 2016 hardly used Fender MIMexico Deluxe Active Jazz V bass which is still a current model. Now with excellent condition Fender gig bag . Typical current price new is £969 at GAK so now selling £394 under that , and £1049 on Fender’s site. Grab a bargain price soon before I withdraw the bass from Basschat. This bass is in excellent condition apart from one tiny body paint chip under the neck pocket , see pics but it’s out of sight and just the Size of a sugar granule. When I got it in Jan 2019 from GGuitar Glasgow there was no adjustment left to lower the action so I’ve shimmed it , full pocket, with a Stewmac maple shim. See pics. Worked a treat and screws just nipped up properly, not over tightened ( thread and gloss finish protection). I’m selling because I was so impressed.......I’ve since bought a preowned Am Elite Jazz V so this is for sale now. Brilliant pickups and totally Noiseless as intended. The EQ is plenty powerful and versatile. Brand new Fender guard from WD Music still has the film on. Hardly used D’Addario nickel rounds 130-45. Gigbag is ** Now upgraded to a good Fender Gigbag ** for delivery protection and I’m a good packer. Will use Euro Sender as per recommended by Basschat site. Weighs 4.4 kg , 9lbs 12 oz. Alder body, lovely paint job, Pau Ferro fretboard with my Adhesive blocks on it but I’ll peel them off if you wish. They don’t leave adhesive behind and I’ll oil/clean the fingerboard afterwards even though it has a very clean board anyway and was last oiled 6 months ago before being stickerised. They don’t affect playability at all. NO neck dive at all , very well balanced when standing for gigging. The strap buttons are old black Schaller which it came with and worked for me and my straps. I can put some Fender ones on from another bass. Just let me know. Here are the Spec and Description with pics below. The one on a counter ( back view ) are the ones GGuitar sent me. 2 stock Fender photos at the end. Any queries fire away as a reply below will help others , and if interested please PM me. Good luck and Keep Safe you lot ! Full Description Alder Body The Deluxe Jazz Bass V has an alder body, delivering a strong, full-bodied sound with beefy mids and excellent lows. The wood offers sizzling highs with an incredible sustain, combined with the semi-hollow design produces an improved tele sound. The 5-saddle HiMass bridge improves the sustain and resonance of each note, enhancing the basses attack to create a powerful tone that’s full of personality. The bass also features vintage style, black plastic control knobs, a black pickguard, nickel/chrome hardware, and a surf pearl finish to show of the woods figuring. Maple Neck and Pau Ferro Fingerboard The basses maple neck contributes some tightness and cut the overall tonality, creating an edge of sizzle in the highs and bright characteristics. The pau ferro fingerboard helps to fur up the maple's tone, giving it a little warmth and sweetness to produce sparkling highs and thick lows. The maple/pau ferro combination creates an open mid-range with a snappy attack, while its modern “C” shape offers a comfortable play, and its 12” radius and 20 medium jumbo frets provide a familiar feel. Vintage Noiseless Jazz Bass Pickups The Fender Jazz Bass features a pair of Vintage Noisless Jazz Bass pickups positioned in the bridge and middle positions, producing incredible growls and a powerful sonic personality. The bright, full tones of the pickups cut through the mix easily, allowing the bass to be heard clearly while retaining its punch and low end. Also featuring active/passive switching, the Deluxe bass can access both vintage and modern voices, while its 3-band EQ allows control over the treble, mids, and bass. Resonant Synthetic Bone Nut Featuring a carefully fitted synthetic bone nut the Deluxe Jazz Bass delivers an increased resonance and brighter tonality. When compared to traditional plastic and Tusq materials used to construct guitar nuts, synthetic bone improves the vibration transfer between the string and tuning machines without dampening the tone.
