    Another bump and adding that if anyone has a nice earlier Warwick NT Thumb 4 and they're looking for a mint Jazz deluxe give me a pm. Peter

    I can't find the link so don't know what you're looking at in terms of condition and cost. I've got one for sale in the for sale section, neck dive sorted too if you're interested, and it's shiny black. Never been rogered by an Entwistle as far as I'm aware. Peter

    Bump at £800

    I got my defunkt Jazz deluxe back today all working fine. I suspect they fitted a new pre. [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=15584&hl=jazz+deluxe"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=...;hl=jazz+deluxe[/url] I noticed the hardcase is new and unlike the old one it opens and closes without the common Fender 'crunch' where these cases get bent along the hinge side. So they've noticed the case was imperfect and replaced it! I checked the accessories drawer and they've put 2 new Duracell batteries in and a set of strings. Bloody brilliant. It's now up for sale again. Peter

    The Jazz is all sorted and is back on the market. Peter

    Is it possible that the bridge earth has come adrift somewhere? Maybe put a wire from earth on a pot to the bridge and see if the hum goes? Peter

    A real improvement, now all you need is a maple fretboard!

    Mmmmmm... So that's what the top horn is for

    [quote]Hello, welcome to the Basschat community, tell us a bit about yourself and stick around and join in! I reckon the price is good for a mint example available now, so best of luck.[/quote] +1

    [quote]t's a nonsense not to be able to debate the value of a bass on this Forum.[/quote] In your opinion? Maybe it's polite to pm in the 1st instance. It's not about debating the value of a bass on the forum, it's about someone trying to sell a bass in the for sale section and sometimes negative (or even positive) and open comments are misinformed. To give an example, if I pm someone because I think someone is overpricing something they have a chance to justify their price to me before their sale gets 'pissed all over'. It's just about giving seller a chance to respond without trashing their sale, just polite (and apparently in accordance with the 'guidelines). Peter

    Well as the original owner/creator (?) of this great bass I'm glad it's stuck and someone is appreciating it's 'Villexness'. Peter

    Hiya Edd You could always give Nick Carey a ring re a lesson. He's on here someplace and I've heard very good. Peter

    [quote]Not being funny but arnt they 1100 new or something??[/quote] Maybe better as a pm to seller? Peter

    Microbass II sold almost immediately, now there's a surprise

    And here was me thinking it was the name of some German heavy metal bassist! So is the 'Limited Edition' bit just down to the gloss black finish or is the Alder special for an Epi T'bird too I wonder. Thanks for that Ped. I did German at college until I offered that 'Die Heinz' was german for baked beans! (I was half asleep when asked the question and my 'mate' whispered it in my ear). They didn't seem to want me after that Peter

    Another bump, still available, still great basses at good prices - honest!
  21. GreeneKing
    Alan I've pm'd you on this. Peter

    Yo I bought my 97 Flea from Marcus and it's fitted with an Aguilar OBP-3 Pre -amp. It is of course the absolute untimate Flea ( ). I'd just like to add to the discussion that the neck is really good, 11 yrs old, no problems at all, no trussrod no worries etc. In fact good is definately an understatement. Clattery? The most single significant thing about this bass to my mind, bar none, is the fact that all the benefits of a 'perfect' neck are there with real warmth of tone. I keep on wanting to pop an ACG pre-amp in though, just to experience that incredible tone on the most playable of necks. Anyone want to make me an offer on the Agui? Peter

    The 02 is quite tiny. I put one in a non Fender Jazz (Allparts?) body this week and had to mod the wood a little. The one in my rear routed Warmoth P has oodles of room. Peter

    [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170207699918"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...em=170207699918[/url] I've messaged the seller to ask him if it's fretless as the frets appear ground right back to the board. He says they are indeed 'flat' and acknowledges that may make it fretless. I suggested he might like to add that info So, do you think that someone has ground the frets down or was it made that way? Peter

    Good post BigRedX and your comments about the ACG pre are wholeheartedly +1'd. Do you have ACG EQ01's or 02's? This thread has certainly helped me straighten the whole thing in my head and the issue is about the quality of the pre-amp in the bass given the inherent limitations of power supply and space/weigh issues. [quote]It is an accurate reflection for the bass I mentioned (I wasn't talking about all basses).[/quote] I believe you Peter
