  1. Hi All,
    I'm selling my GK NEO 210 - I've owned it from new for about 2 years and is in pretty good condition.

    I've gigged it a few times but it doesn't have any real damage, just a couple of scuffs on the edges, the worst of which are in the picture below.

    Also included (but not shown) are the GK speakon cable and manual - you don't get the head :-)

    I'm looking for £250 + delivery or you can collect from me in ME1 3GP. I would also accept an MXR El Grande or Bass Fuzz Deluxe in part payment.

    If you've any questions, please ask.

  2. Hi All,
    I'm having some problems with my Jazz Special - basically, it's really, really noisy. I recently replaced the pickups with an SD Hot Stack in the bridge position and a Fender P in the neck (they call it the "Original"). I also replaced the bridge at the same time.

    Since then I've had lots of noise issues. With both pickups on full I get a loud buzzing. If I touch the bridge, machine heads, or exposed metal in the pickup selection switch the buzzing stops and the bass sounds fine. If I touch the top of my amp, the buzzing stops. When I play the instrument there is a definite electrical click when the string makes contact with the fret.

    Using my US P or my Warwick Streamer I don't get an issues. I've not got any other pedals etc. plugged into the same socket.. just the amp I'm playing through....

    I don't recall having any noise issues before I replaced the pups and bridge but it's possible they were there - the bass is over 20 years old!

    Can anyone shed any light on my problem? Is this an earthing problem or something else?

    Cheers,
    Doug

  3. Yep, I'm a big Duff fan - he's the reason I first picked up the bass too. Until last November I was in a GNR tribute. Here we are playing the song in question (that's me in the blonde wig!)

    I've got some dep gigs for them coming up and while I relearn some of the tracks I thought I'd try and record as many of them as possible.

    Cheers,
    Doug
