I’ve found myself with a few spare parts I don’t need anymore. Ideal for projects: 1. [s]Set of 2-aside Chrome Tuners with screws [b](£12)[/b][/s] [attachment=38194:100_2683.JPG] 2. Jazz Bridge Pickup from Vintage V940 (I don’t have a multimeter so no idea of the impedance) however I have the same pickup on another Vintage bass and I do like it. [b](£10)[/b] [attachment=38195:100_2677.JPG] 3. [s]EQ from same Vintage V940. I’ll be honest, I can’t hear any difference from the treble boost however the treble cut and bass cut/boost do make a difference. Volume and tone controls work as expected. I bought it then realised I have no idea how to wire it up so it may or may not be of use [b](£8)[/b][/s] [attachment=38196:100_2685.JPG] Feel free to ask any questions. All prices include first class postage, recorded delivery available if requested (I think it’s about 70p extra).

I’ve got the fretted version with some flats on it. I like the neck which is a comfortable profile for my hands. I would agree that the pickups are typical of the price range. I do notice a difference with the aftermarket pup's in my other bass. The rest of the hardware is perfectly serviceable. The body is nice (not bookmatched though as AndyTravis said) - I’m intending to upgrade the pups' on mine which should make a world of difference so it’s basically a keeper for me. If its a used one then the body might be a bit shiny along the forearm rest as the body is a "nude" Bubinga finish... a VERY light sanding should return it to normal

How would i wire a P pickup to avoid the need for a tone knob? Could i use the following diagram [url="http://www.axesrus.com/images/BASS2.jpg"]http://www.axesrus.com/images/BASS2.jpg[/url] and just remove the tone section completely?

[quote name='Mr. Foxen' post='643474' date='Nov 2 2009, 03:25 PM']Sounds like a big muff and agressive playing with bright strings. Those misfits sig strings are grotesquely bright.[/quote] Have you played the signature strings??? Is there much difference from normal strings?

Can anyone tell me what kind of pedal I can buy to replicate this sound? From browsing the web, the Electro Harmonix muffs appear to be similar but there are that many to choose from plus I don’t have a clue what else is out there. I've found a sound clip if this helps: [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fnzKZFWnY6w"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fnzKZFWnY6w[/url] (Skip to 1:50 for the solo bit)

[quote name='jezzaboy' post='555688' date='Jul 29 2009, 10:40 PM']Aye MrJim, you made a good job of it. Did it perform ok on sat? Spoke to my mate who changed the pickup and he suggests that you check the wiring at some point as his soldering aint the best! Jez[/quote] yeah i'm really pleased with it. The wiring hasnt caused any problems so you can tell you mate he done a fine job with the wring. There was one or two very small flakes of paint that were coming off. I thought it looked a wee bit too black with the body/pickguard/pickup all black. Maybe even seeing the polepieces on the pickup would have been enought to break it up. I like black/wite contrast.

you can also buy all sorts from maplin for a few pence

Well...the scratchplate has since been returned to white. I must have been lucky with the paint stripper cos it did'nt tarnish the finish of the plastic (The painbrsh wasnt as lucky however). Managed to get the rest off the edges by shaving off with a stanley knife. I dont understand the star either... its currently covered witha sticker more suiting my tastes. It is a cracking bass, especially with the upgrades: [attachment=29832:Picture1.jpg] I'll need to get a proper outdoors photo like most folk seem to have

Their stock is better than nothing, but i emailed them to ask if they could source other SX basses (Would love the '75 jazz) but they said they only have the green '62 etc that are on their site. If enough people were to email, maybe they would change their mind...

I'm looking to sell my Vintage V100 Les Paul Copy. (Tobacco Sunburst/Gold Hardware) I've played it for the last few years and am only selling as I’ve unexpectedly found myself with the real thing. I still like it but I don’t have any need for 2 of the same. All the relevant stats can be found direct from JHS: [url="http://www.jhs.co.uk/vintageelectric.html"]http://www.jhs.co.uk/vintageelectric.html[/url] It has one or two scratches on the back but really you can only see them when you peer at the back of the body - I’ve tried to show them in the photos but its only surface marks, it’s not through to the wood... Note the bag of compost isn’t included! [attachment=26502:100_2350.jpg] It does come with the scratchplate shown in the photo, however I prefer them without [attachment=26503:100_2351.jpg] [attachment=26505:100_2353.jpg] [attachment=26504:100_2352.jpg] There's a small flake of paint that’s chipped off the headstock - it actually looks worse in the photo because of the camera flash - it’s about 1mm wide but much darker than it looks: [attachment=26506:100_2359.jpg] Ask if you want extra photo's £90 - Collection from Glasgow
