    Hi. Is this still available
  2. Bobass
    Appreciate any advice with regard to the above. I have on order a Fender high mass bridge, great value at £28, but not at all sure as to the tuners.

    For sale is my recently acquired Elwood 4 Jazz. Last year I had a bad fracture of my left wrist, had to give up playing and recently acquired bass locally in the hope that I would be ok to play but alas it's not to be so have very reluctantly decided to go keyboard synth route to satisfy my creative musical need. Bass was purchased by the previous and original owner directly from Maruszczyk . Ash body so quite a heavy bass Delano Pickups Passive Eq Ets Bridge No marks on the body that I can see, no fretware, lovely see through finish, logo has slightly worn off pickups. There are 2 marks / dinks on the back of the neck, just about noticeable in the pics. You can feel them, especially the one nearest to the nut but this does not affect the playability at all plus a mark at the top of the headstock Just been set up by Fretmarks in Belington, has a nice low action. Comes with original factory gig bag, book and truss rod and saddle Allen keys

    Hi all, thank you so so much for advice and help. It was driving me mad but a quick tweak anti clockwise on the truss rod has started to straighten then neck out. It an Elwood 4 and a wonderful bass. Aging many many thanks, your all a credit to our bass chat community

    Need some advice on a recent purchase on a Elwood 4. Action was high when I purchased, assumed that it would just be a tweak on the truss rod, but having gradually turned the truss rod clockwise from the heel end it has not moved the action at all and the truss rod is now tight. Any help would be much appreciated

    For sale is my Zoom B1 4 Multi Effects Pedal. Only 2 months old. Little use at home. Comes with receipt for warranty purposes. Price include shipment by Royal Mail signed for 2nd class Now £40

    Hi Cheers for reply, the fenders are at £159, ashdown at £109 so not far off if I sell the zoom, appreciate the fact that the zoom will give a bit more flexibility plus if I pair it up with ashdown studio it will still give me two separate units. Have just purchased short scale Gretsch 2200 with mini humbuckers and just a tad concerned re the 8 inch speaker in both amps. Will it be big enough to get a reasonable sound.

    Hi Some advice needed. I only play bass at home, at present through a zoom b1 four with headphones. Looking for a small amp to get a more realistic sound, hence should I go for the Ashdown studio 8 and plug in the zoom b14 or sell the zoom and buy the all in one Fender LT25. Cash wise both options will work out the same

    Great condition. All locks and latches work fine. Comes with keys

    Many thanks for all the replies. Have finally decided and ordered the Betsy bass. Had a good chat with Barry at the Bass Centre and he mentioned that the slimmer neck on the jazz may be a tad easier to play, more versatility in the sounds available plus you can achieve a similar sound to a p bass by using the jazz bass neck pick up. The only slight downside is that the tech who sets up all the basses only works every other Friday so it looks as if delivery will be at the start of Feb. On a slightly different note, I have ordered the Ashdown studio 8 30 watt amp from Thomann. As it was under £135 then , re Brexit, the VAT was added at point of sale to the invoice hence total cost £113.60 delivered as against £129 Uk stock at PMT. Again there may be a delay in delivery but as Betsy is not arriving until the start of Feb then no worries.

    It looks as if the Guy Pratt bass is the favourite at present due to the slimmer neck hopefully being easier to play. This then leads me to my next choice. Due to my budget, ie my dear wife holding the purse strings, then if I went with the p bass then I could just about afford the Ashdown studio 8 amp, though with the 8 inch speaker would the p bass, with its powerful pickup be too much for the amp. If I went for the j bass at £100 more then I would be looking at the zoom b1 4 pedal As I’m just playing bass at home, then would the zoom pedal, with its range of effects, tuner plus rhythm section be more suitable with headphones that the Ashdown 30 watt amp.

    Thank you all for your replies Lozz 196 I’m loving the deep tone of the p bass especially for the iron maiden music but the jazz seems more versatile Jezzaboy It’s the red p bass for me, the j bass is a bit too blingy mr4stringz Entirely agree that the best option would be to try them out prior to purchase but due to Covid lockdown plus I am shielding at present then it will have to be an on line purchase. I’m loving the tone of the p bass over the j but the j seems more versatile in the tonal range plus with the smaller width neck may be more suitable for me to get back into playing. Mike Great video thank you, the range of tones are superb.

    Hi All Coming back to playing after 20 odd years and have narrowed the search for my new bass down to the bass centres Guy Pratt Betsy bass and the Bruch Thomas precision bass based on the glowing reviews on the internet etc. It will only be used at home for jamming along to backing tracks etc, big Iron Maiden fan but also most other rock ie Led Zep AC DC etc Appreciate any views as to which may be more suitable to buy will be playing through Ashdown Studio 8 30 watt amp
