Thanks Martin, despite some deliberation, I think I'm going to keep both my Ampegs and move this on.

Hi Jake Hope all's well mate. Re tone, I don't really play arco so if you're asking how it sounds in relation to the clip from the Martin site it would be hard for me to say (I suspect that even if I did, it would still be hard for me to say if you get my meaning). Re shoulders, this bass is extremely easy to play in that respect and as I think I've mentioned above, it's nothing like as tiring to play as some I've owned. Anyway, I gig/socialise around Surrey/Hampshire a fair bit so I'd be very happy to meet up with you sometime for you to give it a play? Cheers Chris

Ha ha, thanks for the above guys, it's certainly a monster. I'd love to sit this between a Modulus Sonic Hammer and a Mesa Boogie 1516EV, it would be the ultimate bass set-up.

Couple more pics that better show the outline [URL=http://s80.photobucket.com/user/Beedster/media/IMG_2685_zpsd3568ec1.jpg.html][IMG]http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j199/Beedster/IMG_2685_zpsd3568ec1.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s80.photobucket.com/user/Beedster/media/IMG_2692_zps4ee7131a.jpg.html][IMG]http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j199/Beedster/IMG_2692_zps4ee7131a.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Chris

You have PMs

Ha ha, I've gigged it in the odd pub and had a loads of lovely smooth tubey headroom. Whilst I felt a little over equipped and it was a PITA to load, the bass coming through the floor made it worthwhile

[quote name='Mike' timestamp='1406325500' post='2510730'] I've got a cheaper DB to offer but not sure I could make up the shortfall, especially after buying an imac. Tricky. [/quote] Happy to open a discussion Mike

[quote name='Mike' timestamp='1406278342' post='2509991'] Ahhh. Ah..ahhh. Hmm. [/quote] A very enigmatic post Mike

[quote name='BassBod' timestamp='1406035101' post='2507688'] Neck - '71 Fender jazz, with binding and walnut strip. Very yellow and crazed finish. Has had a rosewood fingerboard added (was built as a maple one piece). Plays very well indeed, fingerboard has the lightest of playing marks, no significant wear. Chunkier 70's profile, and a touch deeper overall due to the added fingerboard (although it really doesn't look or measure any bigger than a standard neck plus frets). Ex-Beedster...but thats not uncommon around here. [attachment=167318:IMG_0914.jpg][attachment=167319:IMG_0916.jpg][attachment=167320:IMG_0913.jpg] [/quote] The neck is absolutely outstanding, great player and great looker, made even better by Paul Herman at Wal who worked his magic on the board just before I sold it to Duncan. It's probably worth not far off the asking price for the whole bass to be honest

Now sold

[quote name='bassmasterwraith' timestamp='1406029835' post='2507612'] Hi would you trade for a fender deluxe jazz USA 5 string with a deluxe john east pre? Thanks [/quote] Thanks mate but have all the basses I need Cheers Chris

No real men out there then..........

Sold

All now sorted, new PUP selector switch installed, so back for sale. If this goes I keep the BB1200 and vice versa. Really can't decide between the two of them at the moment! Only trade option us a MIJ BB2000 with cash my way Chris

Reminiscent of a mid-50's Eastern Block housing project in some photos though

Thanks WB. Yes, myself and the sender were a little surprised, and to their credit the courier company provided some compensation. It's testimony to PJB gear that it still works perfectly. It's a great little rig. It's either this or my AER going, and if the latter sells first, I won't be too unhappy about this staying. It's great for DB but exceptionally and surprisingly good for electric bass also, which I wasn't really expecting to be he case.

[quote name='chrisanthony1211' timestamp='1405878818' post='2506081'] Can this be linked up to a passive cab through the line out or is it like the amp one and needs a powered extension cab? [/quote] Hi Chris Unless I'm missing something, the latter. C

Cables, made by Phil Jones, what can I say other than that they're very nice (and very heavy) [URL=http://s80.photobucket.com/user/Beedster/media/IMG_2894_zps0a59c847.jpg.html][IMG]http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j199/Beedster/IMG_2894_zps0a59c847.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s80.photobucket.com/user/Beedster/media/IMG_2895_zps9977d503.jpg.html][IMG]http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j199/Beedster/IMG_2895_zps9977d503.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s80.photobucket.com/user/Beedster/media/IMG_2897_zps34ba88fa.jpg.html][IMG]http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j199/Beedster/IMG_2897_zps34ba88fa.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

This is a bargain rig that I will keep if my AER sells. The cab was couriered to me and suffered a drop (bless those couriers and their delicate dispositions), so the bottom has been damaged. It sits fine with the foam supports I use, but won't sit fine on wheels. The D200 is a recent acquisition that - given its size - is ludicrously powerful and clean. I've gigged this rig it several times without problem, and to be honest I actually prefer the tone with the D-200 to that I was getting with the M-500, I've no idea if the two are voiced differently, but c'est la vie. I can't split as I'm in a 'if this rig sells then I won't sell the other one' situation, but trust me, you won't find many more hi-fi rigs than this at this prices.
