  1. Would love to try this but sadly the wrong end of the country!
  2. [quote name='robocorpse' timestamp='1486511668' post='3232460'] Hi. Thats late 80s/early 90s Japanese, but still a cracking bass for the money. [/quote] I bought this new, subsequently sold it and bought it back... I'll check see if I can find a date when I was in the band that I was gigging with at the time.
  3. £799 'starting' bid. I've seen them as cheap as that before though.
  4. [color=#1D2129]Late 80's BO neck bass. Dark blue sparkle finish. Slim neck profile with rosewood fingerboard. Jackson branded PJ pups (passive). Small dinks and dinks but nothing of note and good condition for a bass nearly 30 years old. No case or gigbag but will be well packed if posting..

  5. [quote name='warwickhunt' timestamp='1485623424' post='3225414'] My 750 has a slight hum when the[b] 'tube' switch is on, no probs in SS mode[/b]. IIRC a previous owner had this checked but it wasn't remedied... never bothered me so I've left it as is! [/quote] Scratch that, it's the other way round... no noise in tube mode!
  6. My 750 has a slight hum when the 'tube' switch is on, no probs in SS mode. IIRC a previous owner had this checked but it wasn't remedied... never bothered me so I've left it as is! Oddly my previous 550 had no such issue.
  7. My thoughts exactly! A friend asked for opinion and I said @ £62 it was overpriced!
  8. ...which of the many Far East copies is it? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/201788255367?_trksid=p2060353.m1431.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
  9. Watch if you accept an offer on ebay; iirc the 'total' in fees if someone pays by paypal is 15%. Even 15% on your listing fee of £3000 = £2550 cleared for you.
  10. Why not have your 5 string defretted?
  11. Oh, 'that' ebay shop!
  12. Must be about the 5th or 6th sunburst from that period that I've seen with that blistered/knackered finish... if you find one undamaged, don't tap the finish too hard!
  13. [quote name='karlfer' timestamp='1483890144' post='3210872'] Good luck with the 412 [/quote] ANOTHER Schroeder? I swear he is trying to build a house with them!
  14. [quote name='BaconCheese' timestamp='1483645005' post='3209018'] I am withdrawing the ad, I will hang on to it a while longer. Thanks fpr all the kind comments [/quote] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif] [/font][/color][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]...90 minutes. Is that a record? [/font][/color]
  15. Where are you based and can you describe the controls; is it a pup switch or pup blend?
  16. If it is available, I'd recommend someone snap it up!
  17. I own a pair of 4's and used to own a 5 string and these are simply stunning basses to play... it's almost so cheap that I'm tempted to try 5 stringers again! The 'upper horn' swinging extension makes these a perfectly balanced bass and they are rarely heavy; body is flat on the reverse and convex on the front, so it is slimmer around the edges. You'll also not find a sweeter piezo than this. Do me a favour though Col, snip that D string a little shorter so that it doesn't scratch the lovely headstock.
  18. [quote name='BaggyMan' timestamp='1482755527' post='3202523'] The biggy for these is that they have two volumes, one per pickup. [/quote] Pet hate of mine! Much prefer one vol and a pan pot.... you can't do volume swells with two volumes!
  19. I could have hooked you up with someone with a full blown genuine USA mid 70's bass but it'd be way out of the MIJ MIM 'Bitsa' range! :/
  20. As an 'emergency' back-up I take a BBE preamp pedal (meant to be for acoustic but works well with bass), which would be DI for desk. I can't justify carrying a full blown amp just on the off-chance my amp might fail.
