Bought a bass from PMAC today in what was a quick and easy transaction. Bass was exactly as described and included some unexpected extra sets of strings.

Happy to deal with Paul anytime!

I always had a written return from James or Diane in less than 2 days. I guess the pandemic don't help.

I’ve experienced the same quick turnaround with support queries from Demeter - pre the pandemic though....

They’re $2249 new (although I think like $100 extra for a metallic/sparkle finish). The second hand cost is similar to the new cost just because they’re so sought-after. I think the current build time is around 10 months.

Mine is currently in the post to me 😁

Cool! i got a Jazz 4 last year and then ordered a P - should have it in September or thereabouts

Yes, pretty much 'standard' jazz neck - width at nut  is 1.5'' see  pic below and string spacing is 19 mm (at bridge)

Sound Control Birmingham circa 2004. USA Gretsch Firebird 6131 Firebird new for £299, should have been £1699 but they marked it up as an Electomatic. Even asked them to check... Sold on ebay for a grand a few weeks later. 

Yeah, Sound Control were a bit of a mess - i used to work close to the big branch at corner of Oxford Street and Tottenham Court Road and would often pop in during a lunch break and have a  noodle on a bass. Was a bit like a musical instrument supermarket there and staff never took any notice of you picking up a bass to try.

Anyways, they used to have a couple of US made Spector NS 5XL's on the wall, priced at £2,250 and i had played one of them a couple of times - very nice it was too! When Sound Control went under the entire stock was sold off   via the Bristol branch. I saw the ad online and the US Spector was selling for £999 delivered! I had that sent to me and it was a beauty,  still had the hang tags and £2250 price tag attached.

I sold it a few years later to a Basschatter named Mr. Hugs who travelled over to London from Germany to collect it.  God, there's a good story there too, though I'll save that one for another occasion.

Yeah, great cabs these - I have the 112 version and it’s the best cab I’ve owned

Recently bought a bass from Mark, in what was a nice simple transaction with good comms etc and Mark delivered the bass to my door today!

happy to deal with Bridgehouse any day!

                    <<<< SOLD >>>>
 

Xotic Jazz Bass 4 string, Trans Blond, in fantastic condition. 

Built in Japan in July 2010 and factory fitted with Lindy Fralin single coil pickups with wooden covers.

Vol, Vol  pots with just/pull on vol1 for active passive and push/pull on vol2 for series switch.

3 band Xotic IQ

High and mid frequencies dip switched are on rear panel on this model - gives a cleaner look than on the front!

21 fret maple fingerboard

Comes with two pick guards , the original white one and the black sparkle one i had made and is currently fitted.

I'm really struggling to find a mark on it, testament to the quality of the finish and how well its been liked after. Frets, truss rod are all as they should be.

Weight is 9.5 lbs (4.3Kg)

I personally loved the bass in passive mode when i was running it with Dunlop flats and combined with the Franklin pups sounded lush. I tended to then just switch to active when i wanted the extra boost. I just recently strung it with DR Hi-Beams and in active ode will do a great modern jazz thing.

Price is £1125

I'm in Pinner HA5 and you're welcome to collect(from my doorstep!) or i can ship across EU in a hardcase.

I’ve never seen a Rosco Centuary available for this kind of money - I’d call that a bargin!

Just bought a bass from Nikos in what was a simple and trouble free transaction. Bass arrived very well packaged and exactly as described.

I would be happy to deal with Basspirate anytime.
