    SD Jazz Antiquity sold (pending usual)

    Selling a couple of things to make room for more stuff! 1. Pickguard to fit Rickenbacker 4003 / ’75-on 4001, in white pearloid, as new. Mistakenly bought for my early 4001 before I realised the neck – bass p/u spacing is slightly wider on later models. The ebay seller strongly hinted it was genuine Rick but obviously couldn’t say so, and I don’t know if Rickenbacker ever did a pearloid option. Really pretty, I reckon would look stunning on a FG or MG model particularly. More flexible than the original opal white ones so should be less prone to cracking & chipping. Duct taped on the back of the control holes to grip the pots better. I paid £26, would like to get that back if poss. 2. Seymour Duncan Antiquity II Jazz pickup (bridge width), excellent nick, boxed. *[b]SOLD[/b]* Made to exactly duplicate a 1960’s Fender Jazz pick-up, then subtly “cosmetically & sonically aged”. Period-correct cloth-covered wires. Lovely clear, buttery tone, would make a fab upgrade on a P / J. I can’t see any in the UK selling for less than £88, asking £30 posted. 3. Neck pick-up (“mudbucker”) to fit Gibson / Epiphone EB-0 / 2 / 3. [b]*SOLD*[/b] From Allparts, Japanese made (Epi?), construction and sound seem to be identical to an original I used to have on a Kalamazoo bass. Some light scratching on the chrome from the E string, otherwise excellent. £12 posted. (NB; also got the matching bridge p/u, works, but missing the brass base plate that the pole and locating screws screw into). 4. Two no-name Jazz bass pick-ups (paired for neck / bridge positions), decent quality as I took them out of a mid-80’s Graham Crook custom. No wires, but stubs to solder onto. No pics at the moment, can get some if wanted – usual black covers / bare poles. £7 posted. cheers! Greg

    I always wanted a big semi-acoustic bass, ever since as a skint and spotty 16 year old I tried to trade my Kalmazoo KB for a glossy Antoria EB2 copy. Guy in the shop looked at it, sucked his teeth in the way they do, and said “No”. 31 years on, recently got this 1984 Gordon Smith Galaxy on the ‘bay (only got the crappy ebay pics, it’s much nicer in the flesh). Like most of the above, really a semi-solid with a solid centre section, and long scale, so it sounds not dissimilar to a nice Fender J – going to put some flats on it next time to get closer to that plummy thuddy semi sound. Wish I’d got one earlier now. Some cracking basses above, especially that big Dean pyscho-billy Cabbie thingy , and the honeybursrt G&L in the sale section

    Damn, I was in Ely last Saturday (great sausage stall on the market! ) - I'd have come and tried this out! Is that the dealer on Mill rd, Cambridge?

    [quote name='jake_tenfloors' post='373839' date='Jan 8 2009, 09:54 AM']find a car with the colour you want, get the colour code and then go to halfords and get a tin mixed up These are proper car paints aswel, not some cheap nock off paint Jake[/quote] +1 I was looking for the much the same thing when I re-spayed my Vox guitar – the most subtle I found was a very pale pearlescent cream which is a factory Audi colour you can get in aerosol cans from Halfords, labelled Magnolia (pearlescent) although it’s virtually white. As with all pearlescents / metallics it needs a clear acrylic topcoat too. For an even funkier finish you can get pots of tiny iridescent flakes in a liquid base from craft shops – brush over a base colour (like white) and top-coat with clear acrylic lacquer.

    PM'd Edit; didn't buy - my bass too big, so this excellent case still available!

    Love 'em Phil Lynott always reckoned they were the "Yardbirds" of their day, they had so many top guitarists in temporaray residency. Did Lorne sell that ex-Thin Lizzy Mockingbird after?
