    I bought one of M Bass old sharks, at the same time as bidding but losing out on this one funnily enough, and thought it was a cracking instrument. It was usurped by a jazz because I prefer the strings closer together, and if it wasn't for this bass wider string spacing I'd snap it up. Good luck with the sale.

    [quote name='bubinga5' post='1010067' date='Nov 2 2010, 09:30 PM']may be the picks but is really shoreline gold? lovely bass all the same!![/quote] I've always thought it more like a metallic beige but yes that's shoreline gold. I've got one that could be its maple boarded twin.

    Same thing happened to me not long ago and it's a pain. The seller said my winning bid wasn't enough and asked me to offer him more money. The only thing you can realistically do is report them to ebay and leave negative feedback.

    I'm disappointed that this thread isn't about some of the awesome poses thrown out by hard rockin bassists on stage. [attachment=62046:Sharlee_Bass.jpg] [attachment=62045:Rhino_in...nal_pose.jpg] [attachment=62044:IMAG0032.jpg]

    I bought a short scale a couple of months ago because I was having a similar problem, but it ended up spending long periods sitting in my living room with a hat on it whilst I carried on playing my familiar Jazz. So I got rid after promising myself I'd explore the 5 string option to alleviate the incredibly tedious yet painful, "Peter Gunn R.S.I.©"

    If it's a poppin' and a slappin' for thee, a Fender Jazz thar be! No seriously, don't take anybodys word for it... you get the pleasure of trying them all out before choosing the one that sounds and feels right for you. Everyone's different.

    It's already gone I'm afraid.

    Bought this on [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=94531&hl=tascam"]here[/url] a couple of months ago and I have barely even looked at it, so maybe another BCer will put it to better use. Tascam MP-BT1 Bass Trainer boxed. A tiny crack on the body apparently, (but I've never noticed it), in full working order. I bought a mini USB cable to connect it to my computer, which didn't come with it, and I'll include this in the sale. Selling for the £60 I paid for it, including UK recorded delivery. I'll post to EU at extra cost of recorded & insured delivery. Payment by bank transfer, cash, cleared cheque or paypal if the buyer will pay the fees. Thanks for looking.

    Black on black '73 (my birth year) Jazz with rosewood board, blocks and binding. My first decent bass and one which is now financially well out of my league. The rosey tint of nostalga leads me to remember it as light, resonous, easy to play and cool as f*ck.

    On hold, pending sale.

    That looks alright to me, functionality over form. My local crap converters has some incredibly overpriced tat for sale, I'd be lucky to find a beaten squier affinity for less than the cost of a new one.

    [quote name='Happy Jack' post='983817' date='Oct 10 2010, 09:40 PM']More information would help - what tune does it whistle?[/quote] whine and grine... ...a high pitched whistle, not a 50htz mains hum.

    For your consideration is an SX short scale precision copy. It was purchased from [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NEU-Kinder-E-Bass-4sait-Junior-SX-VINTAGE-sunburst-/290445165359?pt=Gitarren&hash=item439fe1832f"]Ebay[/url] about 3 months ago and, apart from me shielding the cavities with copper tape, is stock and in an as new condition. It's never been gigged and in fact it's barely been played. I was going to give it some upgrades but my priorities have changed and its found more use as a hatstand than a bass since I got it... so somebody esle can have the pleasure. I'm hoping to get £100 back for it. Collection is preferred, (from the Wirral/Liverpool area), but I've still got the box it came in and can post it at the buyers expense, (probably about £20 but if it's any less I will refund the difference). Bank transfer, cash, cleared cheque or paypal if the buyer pays the fees. An excellent instrument for the smaller or younger bassist, plays very fast out of the box, but could also be a very 'pimpable', (is that a word?). I shall now attempt to attatch some badly taken cameraphone snaps. Thanks for looking.

    Labella 'Deep Talkin' flats. I couldn't imagine my bass wearing anything else now and plan to leave them on forever.

    Let them use your 30 quid amp then.

    SX Basses

    Shambo replied to BASainty's topic in Bass Guitars

    I got my 3/4 P bass, with the old headstock, new off t'bay a month or two ago, via a seller from Belgium. Out the box it plays fine, but could do with some better strings... and a more substantial bridge... and the pup/electrics aren't exactly the greatest. Having said that, they're still good for the money.

    I'm the owner of a Demeter Opto Compulator pedal which, when 9v battery powered, easily fulfils my simple compression needs. However, when I try to power it with an ac/dc adapter by the mains, it emits a clearly audiable whistle. I'll admit the adapter wasn't the most expensive in the shop, ('Lynx Multi Power Supply' from Dawsons), but I didn't want to spend a fortune to power just a compressor and a tuner. It powers my TC Polytune perfectly well on its own BTW. Have any other forummers experienced something similar before I throw money at getting the cherished pedal fixed, or should I just buy a pricier adapter?

    I've got a pair of these too, and I likes them.

    [quote name='stingrayPete1977' post='946270' date='Sep 5 2010, 03:45 PM']I have only used the S1 switch on someones strat and it made it sound worse in every pickup configuration is the bass version of any use?[/quote] On a Jazz it does. Makes for a thicker sound. A purist suggested to me a jazz shouldn't have humbucking pups and should only be sounding like a jazz, but it still does when you're not using it. It's just another sonic option. Don't know why a P bass would need one though.

    Do I recall someone on here being offered a sit on lawn mower for their bass/rig?

    My 2007 American Standard has an 'S1' series switch which gives extra thump that has been likened to a P bass. They stopped including it in the 2008 revision, (unfortunately IMO). There's a circut diagram somewhere on the internets. It also cancels out any annoying humming too. Coupled with a pair of Wizard 84's and my jazz can get quite thunderous.
