  1. Sold Gerry my Boss ODB-3 Pedal. Quick payment and good coomunication throughout the transaction.
  2. [quote name='gemdids' post='1152748' date='Mar 7 2011, 06:03 PM']I've also seen this but it looks a bit too good to be true: [url="http://www.inlaystickers.com/servlet/the-72/Block-(WS)-Fret-Markers/Detail"]http://www.inlaystickers.com/servlet/the-7...-Markers/Detail[/url][/quote] I've used those exact ones that you linked to. 6 Months later they are still going strong, no wear or tear. Only thing is they are not quite as shiny/reflective as they look in the photo's. Plus they arrived from Japan in 3 days!
  3. 3-ply white/black/white jazz pickguard of unknown origin. I bought this here last year for a project bass I was building. However I changed my mind and decided to go for a black pickguard. I don’t know what bass this would fit so I’ve scanned it so you can print off a copy and line up the holes. Just make sure you set page scaling to “none” before printing to ensure it prints without any distortion. I’m asking for £9 posted via Royal Mail First Class [attachment=74235:Jazz_Pickguard.pdf]
  4. Used but in good condition, just a few paint dings as shown. Selling as i now find myself using fuzz more than overdrive... No Box or original instructions but I can send a pdf copy of the instructions should you need them. I'm asking for £37 posted via Royal Mail First Class [url="http://www.bosscorp.co.jp/products/en/ODB-3/"]http://www.bosscorp.co.jp/products/en/ODB-3/[/url] [attachment=74234:100_3069.JPG] [attachment=74233:100_3068.JPG]
  5. Are artist endorsed strings any different from the regular production line ones or are you paying a bit extra just for the special packaging and the association with the artist? I realise the gauge might be a special combination but are the basically just regular strings?
  6. I’m another one who almost exclusively uses Legacy strings (guitar and bass). I don’t have a bad word to say about them… only wish they would branch out into flatwounds and tapewounds too!
  7. This post cannot be displayed because it is in a forum which requires at least 1 post to view.
  8. Bought a 62 SX Jazz copy off sickpuppy and am NOT pleased... After sickpuppy said he would send it Royal Mail Special Delivery (and charged appropriately for postage), the bass finally arrived about 20 mins ago via parcelfroce 48 hour service. My experience is a similar one to derrenleepoole. As can be seen in the photo's this bass simply wrapped in two thin bin liners (with a bit of tape round the neck) with no other packaging whatsoever! As you can imagine the bass did not arrive unscathed - the bin liner was ripped at the bottom exposing the body and a large chunk of finish is missing straight through to the wood. The bottom strap pin has also been damaged so it is now impacted into the body. I did ask before buying if the bass had any marks or dings and was told it did not. I can easily count 4 or 5 areas of damage on the body alone. The seller also said the sale would include a set of chrome bridge and pickup covers - these were not included. The neck is also in a bit of a state, there seems to be some kind of green gunge on the frets (whether or not this would polish off I’m not sure) I have PM'd sickpuppy and am awaiting a response. It is a shame as this looks like it has been a really nice bass to begin with and just what I was after, however the whole experience has left me disappointed.

  9. Feedback is a bit late but still just as valuable. Met Nollaig a few weeks ago when he bought a bridge i was selling. Transaction went without a hitch plus we had a nice chat about all things bass. Top Man!
  10. Anyone else noticed the bass was readvertised yesterday on gumtree even though the advert is still running on ebay?
  11. another possibility might be to use a bottle of black leather dye (I bought a bottle of the Dylon brand from the nearest Timpsons for around £4) I've sucessfully used it on an electric bass fretboard without it transferring onto the strings.
  12. [quote name='LukeFRC' post='896413' date='Jul 16 2010, 11:46 AM']phew he had already sold it! [/quote] oh no he didn't!!! [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Fender-Jazz-Bass-1975-USA-/110560081450?cmd=ViewItem&pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item19bde4f62a"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Fender-Jazz-Bass-197...=item19bde4f62a[/url] The plot thickens... (or is this just a coincidence?)
  13. [s]Having a summer clearout of the parts drawer so here are a few bits and pieces for sale. All prices include first class postage. Any questions just ask. [u] High Mass Bridge [/u][/s] [s]Unbranded bridge in matt black. I only have silver colour screws to go with this but you can always paint the heads if you want them to match:[/s] [attachment=53278:100_2924.JPG] [s][b]£10[/b][/s] [u]Unbranded Precision Pickup[/u] A bit tatty, the covers were originally white/cream coloured but I painted them black since I don’t like white covers. It did give a nice enough sound when connected. Comes with screws and springs: [attachment=53279:100_2923.JPG] [b]£8.50[/b] [s][u]Unfinished Project Neck[/u][/s] [s]This originally started out as a Dean branded 24 fret maple neck i bought on ebay. I removed most the black poly coating on the back of the neck with the intention of respraying but never got round to it. Unfortunately some of the paint has sunk into the grain so I don’t think it would be possible to completely remove every trace of black. I’ve tried to show the worst of it in the photos. This will require finish sanding with a bit of 400 and 600 grit paper to smooth out the surface. The fretboard will require finish sanding as well. This would be ideal for respraying in a block colour to hide the black marks but could still be clearcoated if the appearance dosent bother you.[/s] [attachment=53280:100_2917.JPG] [attachment=53281:100_2918.JPG] [attachment=53282:100_2919.JPG] [attachment=53283:100_2920.JPG] [attachment=53284:100_2915.JPG] [s][b]£26[/b][/s] [u]Loaded Precision Neck[/u] Hohner Rockwood neck with tuners, neckplate and neck screws. I’ve not messed around with this one I had to replace one of the tuners which is a slightly different design as can be seen in the photo’s.

  14. Bought this for a project that never started so as new, never been wired up. This is a copy of the Seymour Duncan Invader Pickup. I bought this from axesrus so it is unbadged but looks to be similar to the irongear hammerhead. 15k output, ceramic magnets, 4 core cable so can be coil tapped if required.
