** 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. Body Body Material: Alder Body Finish: Polyester Body Shape: Precision Bass Neck Oiled late April 2020. Neck Material: Maple Neck Finish: Satin Urethane Neck Shape: Modern "C" Scale Length: 34" (864 mm) Fingerboard: Rosewood Fingerboard Radius: 9.5" (241 mm) Number of Frets: 20 Shiny too! Fret Size: Medium Jumbo String Nut: Synthetic Bone Nut Width: 1.5" (38.1 mm) Position Inlays: Black or White Dot Neck Plate: 4-Bolt Standard Electronics Active Only.

See photo invoice. Hardware Finish: Chrome Tuning Machines: Standard Open-Gear Pickguard: 1-Ply Beveled Gold Vinyl Control Knobs: Knurled Flat-Top Demo videos courtesy Guto Bass and Babicz. He Starts playing at 2:50 and runs through most tones. Headphones needed. Love this guy.

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. Specifications Body & Bridge Body:Alder Bridge:5-Saddle Fender HiMass Scale:34" Construction:Bolt-On Finish:Surf Pearl Neck & Fingerboard Neck:Maple Profile:“C” Fingerboard:Pau Ferro Radius:12” Frets:20 Medium Jumbo Inlays:White Pearloid Inlays Nut:Synthetic Bone Width at Nut:1 7/8 inch , 47.6mm Electronics & Hardware Bridge Pickup:Dual Coil Noiseless Jazz Middle Pickup:Dual Coil Noiseless Jazz Controls:Volume/Pan Control/3-Band EQ Machine Heads:Deluxe Cast/Sealed Locking w/ Vintage Style Button Knobs:Vintage Style Black Plastic Pickguard:3-Ply Black/White/Black Hardware:Nickle/Chrome My photos except photo 10 is at GGuitar Glasgow before I took delivery.

Ayup. Just sold my Yammy BB1025X to Dandelion and he was an excellent communicator keeping me up to date as to whether he could buy it. Paid me pronto and I highly recommend Kev to all you bassists. A pleasure to deal with. Quent

Best Over Ear headphones to Play along to Tracks
Quent replied to Quent's topic in Accessories and Misc
Hi Silvia, thanks very much for that helpful link to a previous thread. I’ve read it now and jotted down some makes and their performance qualities so I’ll look them up. Saves others chipping in to help but duplicating the recent thread , much as I would have appreciated it. Great. Thanks again and I hope you and Basschatters are keeping safe. Quent -
Hi you lot, I hope you are all keeping as safe as possible there. Like a lot of you I’m playing more on headphones at home than through my rig which I prefer though I’m enjoying Headies more than I used to. I use Denon DH600 over ear and I think they do a great job BUT perhaps I’m missing out on newer technology? They stopped making the DH600 a few years ago but they’re very comfortable ( I have biggish ears but luckily they don’t stick out like Plug’s in the Bash Street Kids ). RRP was over £400 but I got both pairs for around £180 each, good as new. I don’t know the detailed spec for comparisons, I just wondered if any of you are ecstatic about the ones you use ( over ear only please ). Mine cope with any bass on the track I’m playing along to as well as my own bass on top ( so I can’t hear the amateur bassist who played on the recording. Ha! 😄) so I think they do a good job. Just wondering if I’m missing out though. The Denon’s are only designed for audiophile ? stereo use really. I plug mi bass into my BP355 Digitech multi effects , wack it up to 99 max volume and it just happens to be loud enough to be exciting without deafening me ( though I am going deaf! Miss the very start of sentences if I’m not looking at who’s talking / telling me off ). Must be a mini amp in there. Music from ipad wires in at same time. Balance the two volumes and play. ( I have all the songs on Youtube now , about 130, and the video plays on a 32 inch monitor via HDMI / lightening adaptor and HDMI lead to telly in my Bassroom ). Right. I wish you all well and will appreciate any thoughts. I’m OK taking in any technical info but I’m no Sparky! Cheers all. Quent Photo as per my Member info by way of introduction. I never grew up and I’ve no intention to either. Just play at home for last 5 years, 43 pub gigs in the 90s. Then nothing until my boys had left home. Enjoying just playing at home tremendously. Play what I want, when I want.

This bass is For Sale only so no Trade offers please. The bass is in fantastic condition having had very little play time before I bought it in 2017 and with me sparingly at home as I have other basses calling for attention too. The price includes UPS insured delivery within UK, ( EU please add £15 )with gigbag and loads of bubble wrap in a strong guitar box. Perfect working order, no wear and super clean. 4.7kg 10lbs 6oz. Just gave frets a polish and oiled the lovely stripy RWood fretboard. Please see extra pics at end. These pickups are very quiet , no hiss or hum as sometimes reported on forums. Serial HMM023105 H=1 M=6 yamaha coding , so 166 means 2016 June manufacture. Zoom in on the Tort guard I made as the bevel is slightly wobbly despite an excellent fit at neck, pickup and control plate. If you don’t want it please tell me. There ‘s an unused black guard included (YamahaMusicLondon). Tiny imperfection on headstock tip but smooth and hardly noticeable and small dink inside lower horn curve. See pics. Selling as I have a BB1024 for passive and another A/P Yamaha so ones got to go, superb as it is. Please fire away with questions or PM me if you wish to have it. I can arrange pickup from me by UPS tomorrow if you get in quick. BB1025X OVERVIEW and Specification Spline Joint BB1025 has employed a 3-piece body structure with which its bridge is placed on the center piece in order to translate the maximum amount of string vibration to the body. Instead of simply gluing wood pieces, we insert a Maple plate, called "Spline", into a slot on its joint sections. By doing that, Yamaha has succeeded in obtaining as much body vibration as a 1-piece body with this 3-piece body structure connected with two splines. Diagonal Body Thru Stringing In Diagonal Body Thru Stringing, strings are angled 45 degree at the saddle to reduce the stress and secure their tension. Moreover, because the attachment area of strings to saddles is larger than conventional vertical stringing, much better transmission of vibration is obtained. Pickups Both front and rear pickups are specially invented for this particular series. Pursuing ultimate passive sound, "Open Face Pickups" are used to cope with even aggressive picking of rock players. 5-Piece Neck These necks consist of Maple and Nato. It provides durability and prevents necks from warping and curling. Nickel Silver Nut Nickel Silver is selected for nut. It is the same material with fret wires. Unlike conventional bone or artificial ivory nut, it gives the same sound quality and feeling even when open notes are played. For any bass players it is a crucial part of well-defined low end. Specification Construction Bolt-On Scale Length 34'' (863.6mm) Fingerboard Rosewood Radius 23 5/8" (600mm) Frets 21 NICKEL SILVER Nut width 43mm Body Alder (Maple spline joints) Neck Maple/ Nato Mahogany 5pcs Bridge Vintage Plus (Brass Saddle, Steel Plate) String spacing at bridge 18mm Pickups Neck: Split Blade (Alnico V), Bridge: Single Blade (Ceramic) Pickup Switch 3 way Toggle Switch Controls Master Volume, Master Tone New Yamaha Black pick guard included, unused. My homemade Tort pick guard included but optional because I’ll be happy to keep it. All the effort ! Serviceable gig bag for protection within strong guitar box for transit. UPS insured delivery included. Please note this bass is in superb condition other than one very small dink inside lower horn, original mini colour imperfection on headstock tip and original small paint imperfection top of body edge which I can’t even capture on photo .These are absolutely minor. It is a beautiful clean bass and has had very limited playing time.

I received Dave’s Lakland Skyline 55-02 Black Sparkle today with excellent gigbag due to his commitment to get it to me safely. Perfectly and sturdily packed , bomb proof, well, TNT proof ! ( They did a good job, no battered corners or holes in the outer box. Absolutely as described by Dave and a fair asking price for such a beautiful bass. Great communication throughout and he was very informative when answering my questions. No faffing around, nice clear advice and he’s obviously totally reliable from the long list of top Feedback here and clearly knowledgable. Very helpful and reassuring video for the For Sale advert too, infact, that’s what clinched the sale for me. Thanks again Dave. Enjoyable and business like. I’ll look out for future offerings for sure. Quent

Hi there, Just wondering if your TRB 1005J is up for Trade still ? This is a coincidence. I am about to sell my BB1025X , black gloss, rosewood fingerboard in excellent condition and think we could do a straight swap exchange? I have just seen your advert this minute so can get back with more details of my bass later but it was made in June 2016 and has had very little use ( I have one or two basses! ) by me and no signs of wear when I bought it in Feb 2017 so the guy had not had it very long. It’s in perfect working order. I already have a BB1024 which I want to keep and your TRB 1005J would be a better Yamma partner for the BB1024. I need to know more about your bass please. Headstock photos back and front, back of neck and back of body ( not shown in your pics ). What is the serial number / letters please and history past ownership ? It looks in fine condition. Any small marks or defects ( I like to know but will not be a problem ). Working order ? Perfect with No Noisy Controls or Active Hum / Hiss ? What do you think? If it’s available and not too old and perfect working order we could exchange ? ( Not sure HOW !! ). I’ll send photos ( might have a couple already ) tomorrow if you are seriously interested. I have a brand new black pickguard from YamahaLondonMusic to put on. I made my own, took 24 hours! I logged the time over a week. You’ll see it in the photos. Has it a hard case? We could both find a hard case so our basses are protected UK Corsica. Sorry, I only speak English. Cheers, Quent You can check my Feedback if you search Quent in that forum down below Basses for Sale.

Ayup you lot. I just sold my G&L L2500 Blueburst to Quasar79 who is obviously from outer space but says he’s from the Netherlands. Yeah, right. Anyway, he’s a top bloke and all has gone smoothly transaction wise and it was good quick fire communication on the way to make sure we were both happy. So, on that basis I recommend Paul to deal with on Basschat. Wishing you Paul ,and everyone reading this , the best of luck over the coming months. Cheers, Quent

Hi KH ! Hope you’re keeping safe up there. Enjoying your GB75JH but not played much due to spannering my left leg ( sciatic nerve path problem) doing soundproofing work in my loft above the bass room. Anyway, it’s just a leg ! Can walk upstairs but down is dodgy. Yes, it’s a beaut and only selling as replacing with another L2500 Redburst with maple board. You only live once eh !? I have a Blue GL MJ-4 so don’t need two blue ones. That would be silly ! Cheers mate! 🥃 WikiMac on the go here. Quent

Amazing array of tones available with the two really powerful humbuckers. Quick to change sound with the switches once you dial in your bass and treble. Switch near bridge takes you from Passive to Active to Active with a treble clear boost with one switch. Series or Parallel with the middle switch, then pickup selector switch for Bridge,Both or Neck pup is located nearest to the neck. The bass was made Sept 2011 ( serial 110901974 ) but I bought it New in 2015 from Richards Guitars to join my play at home only collection , the are no signs of wear to frets, fretboard or body because I look after my basses properly and they only get relatively light play time each. You really won’t spot the two tiny ( pinhead sized ) body gloss imperfections just below neck pickup towards lower horn. No thumb position swirls even. Electronics, tuners and truss rod all in perfect order, no noisy controls or switches. Absolutely clean with fretboard oiled last week and frets polished. Set up standard with little neck relief and action approx 2.4 mm B to 1.6 mm E at 12th fret ( held down at first ). 2 Allen keys included safely away from the bass in a bubble wrap I will pack extremely well , double boxed, and the price includes UPS insured delivery which I will arrange so please bear that in mind. Probably move on the advert elsewhere if no sale soon so don’t miss out here. This is a beautiful bass and I’m only selling to replace it with a Redburst/Maple example which is on order. Yep, I’m a huge G&L fan and have more than one. This one is not overly heavy for swamp ash at 4.7kg 10lb 7oz but there’s still some Heft there. Condition is more like 9.9/10 than 9.5 so be assured you’re getting a gem. Specs copied below. Please Private Message me if interested or ask any questions. Paypal payment please. Cheers, Quent The foundation of the L-2500 is a pair of G&L Magnetic Field Design humbuckers backed by the flexible Tri-Tone control system. It will provide the sort of versatility that’ll let you find your tone no matter the genre. The Tri-Tone system features a trio of mini toggles for pickup selection, series/parallel signal routing and active/passive operation, as well as a trio of knobs for volume, treble and bass. Hardware With all that under the hood, Leo gave the L-2500 the kind of chops that’ll fit in any situation, from classic R&B to power-packed rock to poppin’ funk. What’s more, the L-2500 features an innovative Leo Fender-designed Saddle-Lock bridge to transfer string energy right into the body end-grain for an incredibly resonant instrument. The Tribute Series L-2500 delivers the magic of Leo’s revolutionary bass at a price attainable for every working musician. Once you play a G&L Tribute Series, you’ll never look back. Specifications CONSTRUCTION: bolt-on SCALE: 34" PICKUPS: Two Leo Fender-designed G&L MFD humbucking pickups made in Fullerton, California BODY WOOD: Swamp Ash with translucent Blueburst finish NECK WOOD: Hard-Rock Maple w/ Rosewood fingerboard NECK WIDTH AT NUT: 1 3/4" NECK RADIUS: 12" NECK PROFILE: medium C FRETS: 21 medium jumbo, nickel TUNING KEYS: Traditional open-back BRIDGE: Leo Fender-designed G&L Saddle-Lock Through Body.

D’Addario Nickel round wound 130-45 strung through the body A few random reflections from the bright window I notice on these pics. There are absolutely no dinks or scratches on the bass just the two mini pinhead pits in the gloss about 2cm below neck pup and another just 5cm toward lower horn. Damn those reflections ! 🙄

Just bought a Cort GB75 JH from very helpful Keir up in Scotland. Bass arrived today safe and sound due to superb double box packaging and usual reliable UPS delivery. Keir’s photos of the bass were excellent and he gave me all the info I needed. Payment was easy via BACS, no problem at all. Thanks again Keir for making it a very smooth purchase and I recommend Basschatters to buy from you with confidence. Good luck with the band. Cheers, Quent.
