    [quote name='Burrito' timestamp='1503041910' post='3355205'] Thanks SICbass - I found some more pics here [url="https://www.talkbass.com/threads/nice-little-orange-rig.1120617/"]https://www.talkbass...ge-rig.1120617/[/url] It seem to be a fairly old story. [/quote] Bloody hell, those guys at TB take things seriously

    [quote name='silverfoxnik' timestamp='1502960358' post='3354622'] I'm fine thanks Chris! Sounds like you're putting together a pretty cool studio btw... Nik [/quote] Thanks Nik, yes it's starting to take shape, it's as much for the kids as for me, at least that's what i keep telling them [quote name='Shaggy' timestamp='1502988865' post='3354908'] That maple board fretless is just super fine..... Anyone who knows their bitsas knows that Chris's are as good as they get, and these are stonkingly cheap for the quality of parts Bump, and all the best mate [/quote] Thanks Greg, it's a rather nice bass, I just don't use the J-PUP and as you know, have another fretless precision, so I'm trying hard to be sensible. Emphasis on 'trying' [quote name='tredders' timestamp='1502990869' post='3354934'] Couple of cracking basses there. Great quality parts and Chris certainly knows how to put a decent bass together. I'm a little bit tempted by the '57 P bass, as I've heard really good things about those necks. Must resist [/quote] Thanks Mark, it's a very nice neck indeed, some necks just work and this is one of them [quote name='Dandelion' timestamp='1503028484' post='3355140'] May I buy the 57ish P? Was looking to buy a used MIM P on Ebay for a similar price.. Will send PM.. [/quote] Replied

    [quote name='Marc S' timestamp='1503050450' post='3355306'] Thanks for your thoughts there Beedster Yes, I recall seeing a few early Ibanez PJ's. Just wondering whether Norman Watt-Roy's PJ was like that when he bought it in the early 70's, Or whether he added the J pickup, as he liked the tones on his other bass - that distinctive Gold Jazz I always thought he'd used the Jazz on the Blockheads records, but he says that he mostly used the PJ [/quote] I'd imagine NWR's P/J was simply a modded Presision unless it's a very rare Fender indeed

    Lots of folks who played the 70's Telebass added J-PUPs out of necessity. It was around the time that active onboard electronics and better bass amplification were emerging, and bass players were becoming more creative, but neither of these could do much about the mudbucker on the Telebass Whilst I remember some awful DIY mods at the time, quite a few luthiers routinely did the J-PUP mod on various basses, some fresh from the factory, so many of the early example appear to be factory but in fact aren't. Earliest P/Js I remember were Ibanez and Yamaha. Fender only caught up a while later.

    [quote name='Mr Bassman' timestamp='1502912244' post='3354383'] I need another amp like I need another hole in my bum, but I'm going for it anyway Phil [/quote] Pretty much the story of all of our lives there Keith
  10. Beedster
    Thanks Nik, all good mate, hope the same's true for you. Yep, decent couple of basses for sure, and I won't be gutted if they don't sell, just a little less stressed about the recent outlay on a Roland TD-30K if they do

    [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I bought this about four months ago from my old trading partner and rather splendid bass player Jay Synchro, and didn't get around to collecting it until a month or so ago. I've got a new studio project coming up and have just put some cash into some gear. [/font][/color][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]It sold here a few weeks ago but to an overseas buyer and it got a little complicated so I'm selling it once again.[/font][/color][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]You know the deal with these; phenomenal amps, even more so given their size and weight; makes me sound a half decent bassist! Put one of these inside a much bigger cab and you'd be easily fooled into thinking you're hearing the bigger cab! I'll post pics this evening (need to collect it from the studio). No trades of offers, thanks[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Apparently the BC photo uploader turns all photos around by 90 degrees, unless you edit them at source in which case it doesn't.....?[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]From the front[/font][/color] [attachment=251543:IMG_3802.JPG] From the back [attachment=251545:IMG_3805.JPG] Small enough to hide behind a Precision.....

    OK, last of the studio gear arrived this week in the form of a Roland electronic kit, so I need to let a few instruments and amps go to keep things on an even keel so to speak. These two are the basses I use least, and going forwards are also those that are least likely to be used in the studio also. Both are bitsas but built from high quality parts, in fact if I broke both for parts they'd earn me around £500 more than the total [price for both basses. But frankly, I can't be bothered with the hassle of selling the bits one by one..... First up, maple board fretless P/J. £600 Body: Phil Kubicki late 70's. Lovely worn natural finish. Bridge PUP very much in 70's position Neck: 1971 Fender, classic profile of the era. Very very good condition, no signs of play-wear on the board suggesting either extremely light playing/flats or a refin, but if the latter, it's been very well done. Slight signs of wear on the back and side, but very little in real terms. PUPs: Nordstrand NP4 V Precision/NJ4SV Jazz Circuit: Kiogon VT stacked Tuners: Gotoh FB30 Bridge: generic BBOT [attachment=251521:IMG_3777.JPG][attachment=251530:IMG_3784.JPG][attachment=251525:IMG_3783.JPG][attachment=251528:IMG_3790.JPG][attachment=251526:IMG_3785.JPG] Why am I selling this one? I have three fretless Fenders, a P/HB with flats, and a Jazz with rounds (and both with big Precision necks). This is the one I play the least. Simple as that. However, I kid you not, this is a very nice bass and at the price, is a steal (it cost around £850 to put together). [s]Second up, a rather nice '57-ish Precision.[/s][b] £400 **SOLD**[/b] [s]Body: Not sure. bought on here a while back here [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/291067-sold-alder-precision-body-in-champagne-gold-finish/page__p__3124531__hl__body__fromsearch__1#entry3124531."]http://basschat.co.u...1#entry3124531.[/url] Colour is Champagne Gold, very hard to photograph but very very fetching in the flesh Neck: 2000 Fender MIA '57 RI replacement. Very very nice neck, wide and flat. Pretty much unused (bought NOS last year from £275) PUPs: Bill Lawrence P-46 Circuit: Generic (might be Fender, might not) Tuners: Fender American Vintage nickel (still wearing plastic protectors) Bridge: generic BBOT [attachment=251531:IMG_3791.JPG][attachment=251533:IMG_3801.JPG][attachment=251534:IMG_3797.JPG][attachment=251532:IMG_3799.JPG] Why am I selling this one? It's just a little too bright for me, there's a lot of zing and top, and I don't generally use tone controls. I've two other Precisions, and once again, it's the one I play the least.[/s] Courier will be around £30. No hard cases with these but they will be very well packed. Sale only on both, I don't need any more gear. No offers please, the prices are more than fair. These are priced to sell and will both head to eBay at around £150 more per bass at the weekend if they don't sell here before then. Chris

    Had the pleasure of seeing and hearing the 2000 in action a few weeks back and it's lovely in both respects to, helped somewhat by Jay's magic fingers! Jay, if you fancy a AER Bass 1 for it , let me know
  14. Beedster
    I've wanted one of those from the moment they were announced. Anyone got a couple of grand they can lend me?
  15. Beedster
    In his defence however, he has had the instrument referred, which is probably a good thing.
  16. Beedster
    [quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1501708541' post='3346863'] And why has he made such a pig's ear of the dot markers on the neck? [/quote] .....perhaps because he was still upset and angry about the complete mess he made of aligning the tuners....?
  17. Beedster
    Happy to consider offers/trades.....?
  18. Beedster
    All necks now sold, will take offers on the bodies (or bodies/PUPs separately)
  19. Beedster
    You may need flip more than strings and nut Rob, although it'll depend which model you buy; the bridge is asymmetrical on some models, the extensions to enable the player to stabilise the instrument - without which they can be quite challenging especially for a beginner - might also be on the wrong side, and you might need to check access to controls also. But once you go to EUB you get to DB and then there's no going back! Good luck Chris
  20. Beedster
    And sold
  21. Beedster
    And sold
  22. Beedster
    £30 plus postage?
  23. Beedster
    I could use this gone really, I've decided I don't need it and I'm trying to re-organise the studio, so it's now sitting in the house getting in the way. Lots of interest but no action so far
  24. Beedster
    Offers on the last few bits....?
  25. Beedster
    First impression was of woodworm. There is a school of thought that no two instruments age alike, and that it is possible that a real example looking exactly like this exists. But I doubt it.
