Hi folks I have decided to part ways with my P bass - I have begrudgingly accepted my role as a Jazz man This is a Fender Player series Precision bass in tidepool blue. Bought new by me in 2020 (I think) and well looked after. I changed the wiring loom to a Ki0gon one but other than that the guitar remains as stock. Tidepool is quite difficult to photograph, its got a slight metallic nature so it changes a bit with the light. Hopefully I've captured it quite well but please ask for more pics. I can potentially post this at cost but would vastly prefer local pickup. COMPLETE GALLERY HERE: https://imgur.com/a/w8EfLte £500 collected ***SOLD*** I'm not really after trades at all but a Boss GT-1000 or GT-1000-Core in part-ex would definitely tempt.

Have acquired far too many pedals recently so got to make some room. Trades wise - I fancy some Way Huge pedals - particularly a Red Llama / Camel Toe / Supa Puss. But others interest me too. Prices include postage. Way Huge Supa Puss delay. Boxed. £155 Phenomenal delay pedal, but I don't use delay enough to justify having this lying around.

40th Anniversary Precision £259 at Thomann!
uncle psychosis replied to Frank n funker's topic in Bass Guitars
Still really enjoying my SFG Jazz, but a bit of tinkering has definitely revealed where Squier cut the corners. I've replaced the pickups and the wiring loom with some Dimarzios / Ki0gon gear and it was a really frustrating experience tbh. The holes for the control plate (and for the pickups themselves) seem to be positioned right on the edge of tolerance so I had a hell of a time getting everything lined up. And whilst I was in there I realised that the pickup cavities (particularly for the neck pickup) were a bit of a mess. I also suspect the pickup cavities are cut slightly too deep because I am probably going to need more foam to get the bridge pickup adjusted right. Now, I'm not really complaining---the basic bass cost £259 for goodness sake---but its almost reassuring to see the difference between this and my more expensive basses. Next up will be to replace the strings but I'm not quite sure what for yet. -
@silverfoxnikbought some pedals from me, friendly messages and no hassles. Many Thanks!

Pretty sure I got a pickguard for my Vintera jazz from earlpilanz on ebay. I'd be amazed if he doesn't do a P equivalent.

Squier 40th Anniversary Precision Bass - thoughts
uncle psychosis replied to cetera's topic in Bass Guitars
My jazz arrived on Friday but I was away from home so I've only managed to spend fifteen minutes with it this evening. First impression - it's gorgeous, although the tint on the neck is a little bit on the donald trump side. The satin finish is lovely and the neck feels great. Electronics all work fine, although the balance across the strings needs sorting out, the pickup heights are obviously not quite right. I'm probably going to change the pickups to some dimarzios but I could easily work with what's in here. There's also an annoying sympathetic resonance when I play the third fret of the D string, i think this is just the E string resonating thanks to a peculiarity of the setup and it will go away when I set the relief, action, and strings to my liking but it did have me worried for a minute! You should always take first impressions with a pinch of salt but £259 brand new seems like a ridiculous deal to be honest. -
Pink is my favourite colour and I love Paisley / floral patterns.... ...but that, there, is a monstrosity. All of the individual elements are OK but the combination is all wrong.

Feel sorry for anyone trying to sell pretty much any squier / budget bass second hand for the next few months tbh... -

Ahh, feck it. Ordered the Seafoam jazz. I may end up taking the neck off it and putting it on my P bass, which is how I've justified buying the pretty thing to myself... -

I want one of these so much, but I really can't justify another P or J flavoured bass 🙃 -

Hey guys I bought this kit and then decided to just buy a Thumpinator. Kit is still "as it comes" - has the enclosure (which needs drilling) and all the bits. £12 posted ***SOLD*** "The MINI-HP-VONG is the little brother of the VONG filter. It has a 1M input buffer and an adjustable second order high-pass filter (-12dB/oct.). The cut-off frequency can be adjusted continuously between 30 Hz and 140 Hz. This kit is a creation by Schalltechnik_04 in cooperation with Musikding.de . "

Pros - it's a classic boss, inexpensive, built like a tank, has two band EQ, and a dry blend. Very easy to understand. Cons - it's definitely a distortion and not an overdrive. The lowest gain setting is pretty dirty - this is my main complaint. Its also a bit noisy, presumably because its so high gain.
