  1. Intonation is perfect with room for the saddles to move either way and no issues with balance. The pickup being nearer the bridge 'might' give it extra punch, but I can't hear it. The original DMT pickup is hot, so that option is there if you prefer.
  2. Includes... > A £550 Dean Paramount in mint condition with it's original branded faux leather case, plus £300 worth of upgrades (all the original Korean parts will be included). > A British Trace Elliot Boxer 30 in excellent condition (You could pay 2/3 times the price for something just as good) > A hand signed printed drawing of Steve Harris' band, British Lion (2024 Tour - Founder of Iron Maiden). Bass setup to Fender specs in standard EADG tuning. Specifications: Body: Two piece centre joined American alder w/ copper cavity shielding Finish: Polyurethane three tone sunburst Neck: Satin oiled flatsawn Canadian maple w/ U-profile Fingerboard: Flatsawn Canadian maple cap Frets: 22 Jumbo Scale: 34" Electronics: Lindy Fralin USA Standard w/ Bourns USA pots and Switchcraft USA jack Hardware: Gotoh Japan 201B w/ Korean clovers (same footprint as Leo Quan) Strings: D'Addario Half Rounds 40-100 Weight: 8.8lbs Pictures: https://i.imgur.com/V90WDvY.jpg https://i.imgur.com/rlro0nt.jpg Tone Clips: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UdL0XLNo47Y https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6FDuzi3ySw&t=88s Firm £495 cash on collection from Carlisle, Cumbria.

  3. Bought this after an active-only Peavey Cirrus and as a backup to my (now sold) Overwater Progress. Pop the volume control up for passive.
  4. There's a music shop in Worcester that sells MarkBass by the train station. I found them to be really poorly finished.
  5. Basswood tends to be lighter, but it's softer than Alder, so it's easier to ding.
  6. I've owned one - Great basses but the neck dive is strong, so you need a big suede strap to counteract it.
  7. I used to hang around with JJs son at university, who was an excellent drummer (and great on a night out). If you really wanted that sound, I'd be looking for an ash body. I can't remember if the pickup was made for Jon Shuker, or if Jon wound them himself, but there's plenty of aggressive options.
  8. Dean Paramount
  9. Thank you - You can have free postage
  10. I was thinking about gifting these with the basses I have for sale in the Classifieds, but wanted to see if someone would like them for their collection...

There's a worn Jack Bruce Canvas Print from the same tour on ebay for £175, but I'm looking for £150 for all three (plus P&P if required).
  11. You're probably looking at D'Addario Chromes for the flats. I like Rotosound Monels personally, but they're 45 - 105. I like D'Addario XLs for rounds and they're easy to find, but for heavy use I'd go Elixir Nanowebs.

  13. Good!! At least one of us has it here in the UK - Is it a dark back, or black on the rear? I've started pulling out all my CDs with semi-acoustic bass on them.

  17. I used to really want the gold Peerless branded one with the different headstock - Think it had 'Bassmaster' on the truss rod cover (I've only seen one in UK). I have Casady's 'Dream Factor' album stored somewhere. My first bass lessons were on one of these, so I always gravitate towards this type of instrument.... https://www.andybaxterbass.com/cdn/shop/products/IMG_4974.jpg?v=1548167506
  18. I wanted it when Bubinga5 had it, but it always appears at the wrong time for me. I love the top - Enjoy!
  19. Why do you take comments about guitar timber personally?
  20. Yamaha uses top quality rosewood for entry Pacificas, but Fender/Squier and Gibson/Epiphone are putting out some absolute turd for fingerboards now; it's going to be even more obvious on a fretless.
  21. Laurel looks awful in person though.
