    Thanks Gianni It's a cracking bass with great tones. If it doesn't sell then I'm more than happy to keep it.

    I've sent you a PM a few days ago but not had a reply.

    Just sold my Ampeg PF800 to Mike. Absolutely the smoothest of transactions and great comms. You can deal with him with absolute confidence, a real credit to Basschat.. Thanks Mike.

    For sale is my Ampeg PF800 in excellent condition and in full working order. It's a great amp but isn't getting much use as I'm using my Genz Benz Streamliner much more nowadays. I've had it from new and it's always been kept in a Gator mixer bag which is included in the sale. Not looking for trades. Happy to meet up within reasonable distance. Details from the Ampeg website as follows. RMS power output: 800W @ 4 ohms Preamp: MOSFET Power amp: Class D Tone controls: Bass, mid, treble Mid-tone control: 5-position Ultra Hi/Lo boosts Onboard compressor Balanced direct out Pre/post EQ option -40 dB pad Ground lift FX loop with dedicated mix control (foot switchable) Power amp in/preamp out 1/8” headphone out / line in -15 dB input pad Mute (foot switchable) Power supply: switching Dimensions (H x W x D inches): 3 x 15 x 11 in 80 x 381 x 272 mm Handling weight: 11.8 lbs / 5.35 kg

    There are always times when you'll need a 4 string! 😉

    I used one of these in a rehearsal room last week and I have to say it was thunderously loud! I couldn't turn anything up past number 1! Good luck with the sale.

    Great cabs these. I use two of them and they can handle whatever you throw at them. Don't be put off by the 300 watt rating, they have the ability to sound huge. I especially appreciate their light weight when there is a long way to load in or there are flights of stairs to negotiate. Good luck with your sale.

    Based in Leeds but could post the mic as I have all the original packaging. Stand would have to be picked up because of the weight? Kind regards Pete

    For sale at £75 is an AKG D112 mic in mint condition. Comes with clip, manual and original packaging. Selling because the band I used it in has split up, so I've no further use for it. Can post if required. I've also a mic stand if required but that would need a pick up because of the weight - £25 extra.

    +1 Couldn't agree more. £ for £ it beats a USA Fender hands down.

    These are superb jazz basses, very very playable. Wouldn't part with mine. GLWTS

    Thank you, kind sir. It's a brilliant bass at what I think is a fair price although I'm open to offers.
  16. petergales
    Thanks for posting that. The link didn't work in my post. It really does show how good this bass is. Kind regards Pete

    Thanks to all you guys who responded to my post. Once again Basschat comes up trumps with some excellent advice. I really appreciate such well-informed comments and as a result I'm going to leave well alone and either pursue a sale or a part-ex. Kindest regards to you all Pete
  18. petergales
    Thanks for your reply. The simple answer is I'm not at all hands on to the degree necessary so wouldn't attempt it.
  19. petergales
    Hi Andy Think I'll just leave well alone and go for a sale. It's in the For Sale thread so I'll leave it a while longer or just withdraw it and hang on to it.
  20. petergales
    Thanks for your input. It's really appreciated and I think I'll leave well alone and keep pursuing a sale. Kind regards Pete
  21. petergales
    Hi Andy Some very sensible comments you've made. I think I'll take them on board and just leave things as they are and persist with the sale. Kind regards Pete
  22. petergales
    Thanks for your reply. Yes, I was surprised, when I checked it, to see that the stated spec was only 40mm. The distance from the string to the fingerboard edge I measure to be 5mm. I bought it new but it was about a couple of years ago.
  23. petergales
    Thanks for your reply. To answer your questions 1. I would only want to increase the taper from the 7th fret to the nut. 2. It would probably need a refret of some length of the neck, perhaps from the 6th fret to the nut. 3. There is quite a generous margin between the strings and the fingerboard edge so the existing string spacing may not need to change. I hope that answers your questions adequately Kind regards

    Thanks Paul. I think I'll do just that. I do have a luthier locally, however, that I use for my repairs and mods who is confident he can do it.
  25. petergales
    Sell the bass? Definitely an option as I have some very nice instruments including a Fender CS 64 Jazz that has a very comfortable neck and curiously wider than the Elrick at the 12th fret (58mm v 55mm) but slimmer at the nut by 4mm. Also a recently purchased new Overwater Progress 3 that has a great neck and slimmer than the Elrick all the way up the neck. Contact the manufacturer? I once tried to make contact with Rob Elrick but got a very curt response, so I wouldn't think I'd get much joy there. The official spec for the bass gave a nut width of 40mm but when I measure it it's 43mm. A luthier? I have a luthier who lives not too far away and does all my repairs and mods. I've spoken to him and he reckons he could do it but I thinking about the points you made previously about dot positions etc. The other thing is that I would probably lose the MOP side markers. But thinking about it, he could probably make me a new neck to my spec and, that way, I would still have the original if I wanted to sell the bass later. Your thoughts are much appreciated and I'm very grateful for them. Kind regards Pete
