    Prompted by the need to photo my Jazz for a BCer and the fact that it's a beautiful day here in Lakeland here's a few basses for you. Thunderbird in the back yard. Previously mentioned Jazz deluxe Another of the T'bird Yes, it's the Ultimate Flea Japanese non export Aerodyne As nice a Bass Collection as you'll find Les Evans And my newest aquisition, Aria Pro II CSB-450, dinky The Les Evan and T'Bird are for sale and the Jazz may be. They don't seem to be attracting any interest in the 'For Sale' section so maybe here? Peter

    Yep the 6 Piezo has been about for a long time now as the top of the range neck thru ebony board beauty that it undoubably is. I do have an early 5P Peter

    Hehe, Gnat is like a small flying insect. Chuff is like it's bottom, bum or arse Me likey, Tool like. 'Shouting' vocals aren't my thing (I'm over 50) but otherwise excellent. I thought 'Post Offense' was a reference to a previous and much discussed thread but I see it's the name of your band - Lol Peter

    I've sent back 2 items to them and they've been great. Login in and go to their customer services area and email them. Much easier than phoning. They'll arrange for the bass to be picked up. Funnily enough the PSU for my Line 6 Basspod XP live faied today and I've just contacted them myself. Peter

    Dave Am I imagining things or didn't you have a Darkstar DD? Peter

    So if I'm right this'll be the 1st ACG destined for a Scottish basser? Congratulations. I'm currently going through the build process on my 2nd and it's 'only' a 4 but I just know it's gonna fit my needs. I think Alan does a great set neck btw. In fact Alan's necks are a bit of a work of art in themselves (I'm biased). Brilliant, it's going to look good isn't it Peter

    Where's your sense of adventure, combine a visit with some walking in the Lakes/Borders Peter

    Nice one Jon. You know looking at your collection again is really nice, it reminds me how classy they all look. Peter

    Congratulations Al. I knew that one of these would sell straight away Peter

    [quote]who actually modified it??[/quote] Me! At the risk of repeating myself. This is a great bass. It doesn't sound the same as a standard Bob Glaub but then again if it did the mods would have been a total waste of time wouldn't they? Predominantly this is a Skyline Bob Glaub bass with Villex pickups and the mid control that is part and parcel of them. Villex pups are superb and give a tantalising tonal range, there's lots of rave reviews around so it isn't just my opinion. Added to that package is a rotary tone booster that has 4 positions one of which is off when it's totally bypassed so if you don't like it it doesn't have to colour the tone. So that's it. Not so scary is it? Before you knock it or if you want to see what it sounds like then try it (with Adees agreement of course). If you want a standard Bob Glaub then just buy one. Edited to add: It also had a great low action (if you like it low), a nice neck and looks sexy as fook in Black/Black/Maple imo Peter

    If you're ever in my neck of the woods you're welcome to pop in. Kendal that is, and THE Ultimate Flea Mwahahaha Peter

    I used fine wire wool followed by gun oil on the back of my Ster neck and it worked a treat. Lemon oil for the board was fine too.

    I'm sorry but I don't think it was that bad. He's not after a fortune for the thing methinks and he wasn't making any false claims. Peter

    Makes you think doesn't it. If this bass had've been closer I may have traded my Deluxe Jazz plus some cash for it and I wouldn't let my jazz go for less than £800. Peter

    Interesting thread, some good points made about buying and selling. Lots of evidence of human traits re slight exaggerations and assumptions. But we are all human (well I am) and to be human is to err. It don't make you the Devil incarnate! No way should we lock threads just because they become contentious imo. It prevents all this relatively minor stuff, usually centered around misunderstanding, from being sorted. Handbags at dawn? Why not Peter

    Business card thickness is good but I got a bigger bit of card and used my thumb to crease the shape of the pocket onto the card before cutting it out so that it neatly fills the whole pocket. I cut the holes with nail scissors after marking them out in the same way. It's a bit more secure than a business card though maybe not quite as cool Peter

    I had a similar problem with the 201 on my Warmoth P and the Badass II on my Allparts J. The neck pocket on both has a shim of thick card over the whole area just to raise the neck a touch paralell to the body, not to angle it. It's worked beautifully well on both and isn't noticeable if done neatly. Peter

    Nice one! Great bassline too, as has been said combines rhythm and melody well. How's the Bass Collection? Peter
  21. GreeneKing
    Nope, not a sin. Putting the Minty green pickguard back on may be though
  22. GreeneKing
    Seems reasonable to me, especially as you explained this to the other party before they set off. Peter
  23. GreeneKing
    Tis most strange indeed. The BG is as we all know a great bass. The Villex pups are excellent and the Tone booster does an excellent job of, well, boosting the tone. I've heard this bass in a live situation as a member of the audience and it sounded superb. If it wasn't for my Warmoth ACG I'd still be the proud owner. Hey ho! Peter

    I know on this and many other forums folk are always going/ranting on about 'what winds me up, makes me angry, pisses me off' etc. Nobody can make you angry. You have a choice. If you just react without thinking you're disempowering yourself. And that really pisses me off.

    [quote]You could always use one of the hipshot or Gotoh drop in replacements as alternatives to the BadAssII.[/quote] The Gotoh 201 is a drop in replacement but I don't think that Hipshot do a 5 hole replacement bridge (I searched recently while ordering some Hipshot gear for my Warmoth, ended up with a Gotoh). +1 on Wizards.
