    I'd give the EMGs a while, see if you like them. It's different from passive, but there is a lot to be said for them. They are active pickups which is different from an active preamp, and one of the differences is that the current draw is much lower so you don't need to swap the batteries often. Here is a pretty strong argument for the EMGs! And here is a way to boost the voltage going to the pickups (Lee has 18 volts with 2 batteries IIRC) - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/192895789297?_trksid=p4375194.c101949.m162918 - check the specs on the pickups first to make sure they can handle it - most of them can handle up to 27 volts - I found it made for more headroom (as I lean in a bit too much on the strings).

    You've piqued my interest - solid colour or trans refin? Picture?
  3. bloke_zero
    There are some differences as well, like rosewood neck and the pickup placement looks like they are about 2cm closer to the neck on the original.

    Bakelite saddles? I've never seen that before. How do they sound? Or is that a weird question.

    | Each hole is meticulously cleaned and cleared for maximum acoustic impact. 🤯

    I had a flick through the basses - they look amazing!

    I bought one of their bridges for a stingray style bitsa - I was very pleased. It did take a while to arrive. It is quite different looking, so if the aesthetic side is important (and why wouldn't it be?!) then I'd think twice. A lot to be said for the BBOT in these cases.

    "it hurts my eyes everytime i see it" - I can't un-see it! There should be a warning on the link for us more sensitive BC people 😵‍💫

    RCF ART 712-A Mk4 Digital Active Loudspeaker pair, plus gorilla stands and case (for stands). These are great speakers, they sound good, they're sturdy and they are loud. Great for a small venue (say 120 people?). I've done a few gigs with these and they have a few blemishes. I'm only moving them on as I no longer have room for them (as you can see they are cluttering up the front room!). 129 dB Max SPL 1400 Watt 2-Way Power 1” Compression Driver, 1.75” v.c. 12” Woofer Comes with 2 x XLR cables and power leads. COLLECTION ONLY, North London, Crouch End, N8. PM for details or to make me an offer.

    Now we're talking!

    I'm going to out myself as a BC anorak! I think the redder more 'authentic' period pickguard is the way to go. I don't know the brands as other people have mentioned but for comparison here is an reverb listing for an original (ended): https://reverb.com/item/29201598-vintage-1973-75-fender-precision-bass-pickguard-tort-1974-1975-73-74-75-1970s-70s-p and you can see it's much redder. For what it's worth - I don't hate the one you've selected!

    I have a serious 'want' for one of these, I love the shape, the idea of the electronics, through neck. Maybe one day!
  13. bloke_zero
    Same with G&L. I know there is some love on here for them, but in the rest of the world people are a bit like @Maude - So many basses! So little time!

    I wonder how many of those links still work? An amazing record. 🥹

    I typed "BRITISH_BASS_MAKERS_v1.pdf" into kagi.com and this looks right? No download though https://issuu.com/janberendsen/docs/british_bassmakers

    Back on the market - I'm away for a week, but let me know if you're interested - I'll probably part it out when I get back
  17. bloke_zero
    Ok! Last chance before I PART HER OUT. A shame, but needs must when the devil drives!
  18. bloke_zero
    Mainly working - see https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/508107-now-free-casio-cz-5000-part-working-collection-only-north-london-£100-obo/ for details. collection only n8 - must go by Friday! After that it’s going to the tip
  19. bloke_zero
    collection only n8 - you pick up or it goes to the tip this week! Amazing synth in pretty bad shape. Plays well, you can load the presets and all the buttons appear to work. BUT the mod wheel and pitch are broken and one key is sticky, oh and the battery compartment is corroded so you can't save patches. Chorus works, sequencer is to complicated for me to check. I'll throw in a new battery compartment. I don't know if the mod wheel is salvageable as is or would need replacing. Collection ONLY from North London, N8 Open to offers! I'd like this GONE.

    I have a medium scale Warmoth build going cheap if anyone is interested?

    Any body want this? Yours for postage. A single sided pcb for a 360 preamp plus build guide. dm me
  22. bloke_zero
    I bought this for project and it worked, but I've moved on. Having a clear out, so must go! Guitar Build, Oxford made this to order, fits Fender body. Rosewood finger board over maple. Plug her in and she's ready to go! Brass nut and hipshot style string retainer (I don't remember if it's actual hipshot or just the style). Note the rosewood fingerboard changes depth over the length of the neck - doesn't affect playing or the overall profile if you get me. Light oil finish - could easily be refinished with a quick application of sand paper. I would describe this neck as on the chunky side of medium. Not a jazz neck! NOT FENDER, but I'll post in this Fender box. £15 for UK postage, £115 to you right now!

    I think I set it standard fender, so 2.5mm - the photo angle got all weird when I was trying to avoid my shadow and stuff so it probably looks lower than it is.
  24. bloke_zero
    Yes I do! sorry the website is super confusing. This photo reminds me that I did a little work on the nut as the G was too close to the edge for me. It's super glue and bicarbonate of soda - not really noticble unless your looking right at it. I am open to offers!
  25. bloke_zero
    Looking at the website it says 48mm - I'll verify with some calipers - hopefully this evening
