So, are you selling the bodies separately again now? Or still only fully loaded? Sorry I'm confused!
-
I can't think of anything more suitable.

I'm not sure of the age of it, but it's a couple of years old, I believe it was a year or two before they stopped the S1 Switching System.
So I think Possibly 2007/2008

The serial number will help you out here; Z (2000) + next digit = year of manufacture so Z8 = 2008.
Lovely colour. I had a Candy Cola American Series P with the S1 system. Lovely instrument. GLWTS.

Ensure the bass is at the same height stood up as sat down.
Also, take a look at how the bass balances on your leg when sat down. Do the cutaways change how the bass balances, i.e neck heavy when stood up but fine sat down or vice versa?

The bass was previously owned by a famous bands bass player who used it live and for recording.

Spill the beans! You can't leave us hanging.
Lovely bass, I have a real thing for daphne. I do prefer the white guard though. GLWTS. -
No, but in 2010 I went to a flamenco club in Barcelona, which turned into a night club after 11pm. The house band only had Gary Willis playing bass didn't they! And bloody good they were too.

What are the weights for the J bodies?
Very light, light, medium or heavy will do as a description.

except they can't do regular finishes... only relics

Really? Why not? Surely it's less work. -

Sounds like a good deal to me...
There has to be a market for custom coloured P and J designs and a reasonable price.

I've wondered this, and having had a lovely time with my old Ashdown Little B******, but not quite cutting it for volume, if I could find a valve head that I could gig with for £500ish I'd be all over it.

What are your thoughts on having a bass built for you to your very own requirement? And what would you be prepared to pay?

I'm awaiting a Bravewood P, which will come in around £1500.
Like yourself, I love Fenders, but they don't offer what I want, which is a '57 styled bass with a slim profile neck.
Bravewood are just down the road from me, and the idea of actually having a bass made, in the true sense of the word rather than put together, really attracted me to them.
Seeing John carry off a freshly sprayed Precision body by its unbolted neck made me think how much I would have to pay Fender to get a neck pocket that fits that tight. It's details like that that make me think wooden instruments should be crafted, not engineered.
My spec is a lightweight white blonde, with 40mm nut width. And will come with a Bareknuckle '58, like yours

Fender flats are great for the money.

I've used a TB500 for years, great amps with loads of heft to the sound and as convincing a 'valve' tone as anything I've used previously. I did change the valves to a set of lower-gain Philips ECC81's as this focused the sound more- complaints about the preamp being 'wooly' with the cheap Chinese ECC83's are justified IMO and are easily solved with some classier valves.
I did get frustated by the limited EQ section whenever we played a difficult room, but invested in a DHA DI EQ which solves both the hot DI issue (mine is an early model) and the EQ issue in one go. £35 off this very forum.
You won't need a 1000. You'll be going FOH before you'll ever reach the limit of the 500. -
He's obviously typed his serial number in, and it's given him the Japanese E-Series information.
Seen a few MIK basses up for silly money recently. -
I've had GAS for a Jag for a while. Never tried one though.
It needs to be a full-fat Jap fender model though- I need all them switches. 😀 -
This was a pretty cool novelty album from my teenage years.
A neat spin on the 'sampler' album. I was particularly fond of Good Riddance's effort, which appeared to be a fully formed song.

How is this still here?
Tom- sell the neck and use the funds to buy a 41mm slim profile from Musikraft!
These basses are the dogs. -

This is seriously my favourite record of all time. I want it played at my funeral.

Ha!
I've asked my wife to play Gay Bar by Electric 6 at my funeral. I doubt she will.
So I'll throw Gay Bar into the mix, and this:

Before all the place your hands rubbish, this was a proper riff rock album which sounded vintage and new at the same time.
RHCP-One Hot Minute
Blood Sugar gets all the attention, but I'm really fond of this album. Quirky with some great pop songs and just enough of the old chili's still in there.

Mine is a 2008, they are incredible. And very light!
I've not heard of the first series being more sought after, but I have picked up a couple of later models and I didn't like them as much as mine.

Great price, for one of the best looking limelights i've seen!
Recommend me a CD writing/duplication/printing service please!

Hi,
We have finished 5 songs for an upcoming EP, and now need to convert the finished mixes into a final product.
Can basschatters recommend anywhere suitable to upload our WAV's and artwork and receive it all back in CD format?
We are looking at an order of around 100. Cost is obviously a factor, but it doesn't need to be cheapest option available. We've gone cheap before and it didn't work out well.
We'd prefer proper CD cases opposed to plastic wallets, and the quality of the printing and the paper they use for the inserts must be of decent quality.
If they are astute enough to notice/adjust any obvious differences in volume this would be useful too, as the songs were recorded in two studios and mixed by two separate engineers.
Thanks in advance,
Will
