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
-
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

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 bought this from @benebass in 2020. It's a Warmoth neck and body with Gotoh tuners. The finish is sort of red sunburst - lovely in person. I think it was professionally finished, though I forget the details. It's beautiful but does show up scratches as you can see in the pictures. Check the pictures for condition! It plays well, hardly any fret wear. The neck is roasted maple with pao ferro fingerboard. It’s a lovely and solid piece of wood with nice grain. Comes with ash tray and geezer butler EMG p-picks with EMG passive loom. Feel free to ask questions. I paid £375 for it 4 years ago and that is what I'd like, though I'm open to offers! £25 postage or FREE COLLECTION, comes with case, fresh Newtone Diamond hex core stanless steel round wounds AND a set of Labella flats that was on there. This bass would be great taking on mustang duties in a funk band, or anywhere that clear punchy medium scale P tone is required. I haven't played for a few months but here is a clip straight into a preamp of me messing around: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/xxwd0snv3tc7cgmmjc110/WamouthMedium.mp3?rlkey=lke97atv3mh3sy5sw49nq8wtt&dl=0

In my mind the the words resonant and resonance are distinct - for example lee sklar talks about trying to find a nice resonant body (see video linked below 3:25), which I would describe as light and with a more crystaline inner structure - you tap it and can hear it is resonant. An example is alder body vs a swamp ash body - the swamp ash is 'desirable' becuase it is lighter and stiffer, more resonant. The same principle applies to roasted maple neck - if you want it, you want it because it will be lighter, stiffer and more resonant. Whether any of that makes a difference is of course up to you. You are of course right to say resonance is a problem and causes a variety of issues.

I'd go old Japanese as well. I know this isn't a popular idea, but when you say resonant body I think the wood ages and can become lighter and more crystalline over time making it more resonant. So an eighties J Fender or Squier
-
Sorry yes, that is in the linked FS ad

They might be, but then I'd have to cut the flightcase in half! I like the lateral thinking though!

Necro thread revival - I've just been asked to quote for shipping my MM Cutlass to Australia, it looks like it's 10cm too long for standard shipping with DHL (max 120) and Pack and Post just quoted me £454.12 - anyone sent a bass down under for less? (Note I say 'bass', smaller packages are easier to send by standard couriers.)
-
The tonal shifts introduced by the change in scale (i.e where the pickups sit in relation to the bridge) would be significant enough to rule this out for me - small changes in PU location make suprisingly large changes in tone - if you move the bridge towards the neck the pickups will both get a bit thinner and twangier. Maybe not a huge amount, might make no difference to you, but it's quite a big experiment!
-
Well, it's a sort of 'democratic' instrument - instead of having to learn the chords you can just strum it and press down the key with the named chord. Here's P J Harvey playing one: The sound is a bit like a zither but with chords. Hmm, that probably doesn't help? Here's my mate playing it more like a zither (this is the actual autoharp for sale here) IMG_1044.mp4 You'd look BOSS playing it on stage

Cool! How different is the switch between reverse and normal? I built a couple of reverse P's and it feels like a good choice, but a bit hard to quantify when you've chiseled out the pickup hole - having it at the flick of a switchmeans you'd be uniquely able to say?
-
I've had this is a case for 20 years. Time for it to get played! Tottally out of tune, missing 2 bass and 1 treble string, some cracking to the lacquer and scratches. Sounds amazing (amazingly out of tune!). The sound board warps up around the sound hole but doesn't affect playing. No idea what this is worth really. Comes with carry case, will be packed well. £20 delivery UK Open to offers, especially with collection from N8!

Will accept £1250. For sale is my Music Man Cutlass Bass (2016-19), gutted to let this go. This is a lovely bass which I spent a long time chasing down. It's either this of the '74 P-bass, so this has to go. You know what this is - It's a modern classic take on the P with some amazing & innovative refinements: great playable 6 bolt neck, modern large pole piece pickup, amazing build quality. Compound radius neck, cleverly designed neck join, classic but playable. It can sound classic, retro & modern powerful in equal measure! It has suffered one small ding to the side of a the fingerboard when it got knocked over on a session, of which there are two photos so you can see. Other than that there are the usual small chips on the lacquer on the headstock. I bought it new from Guitar Village in 2020. Weighs 8.6lb - so nice and light. Please check the photos for condition. Comes with original case and case candy. Will be properly packed and couriered. Can use the courier of your choice if you have a preferred one. Happy to send fully insured, or world wide, if you want to pay the extra, feel free to contact me for a quote on this. Or collection from London N8 with a cup of tea!

Better to regret something you have done, than something you haven't!
