    I have just received a modern faker from a well known person (as long as you know the page, the secret password and today's fish ). I posted a review on a certain social media page. I will do an edited version of the review on here sometime next week, when I have received my new scratchplate and Rickenbugger (tm Jon Price ) TRC.

    [quote name='warwickhunt' timestamp='1455561073' post='2980252'] Where does it say 11.5lb? [/quote] It doesn't. I pm'd him. If the answer had been <9.5lb you lot would never have seen this bass Ray, that Bruges bar sounds VERY much like Ziggi's

    Terrific amps. Powerful, light, easy to use. Bargain price. Interesting thread from owners in the Gear forum As you were.

    [quote name='RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE' timestamp='1455538880' post='2979933'] Well..I'm watching it . Really considering buying it and replacing my dean taxi bass. I'm a headless guy, but this just rocks ! Karlifer , I am saying a few expletives in your direction [/quote] Jolly good

    Those were the days. These pop up occasionally but not in this wonderful colour. Only reason I'm sharing and not buying is 11.5lbs , can't hack that nowadays http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/291684786654?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

    [quote name='timmo' timestamp='1455367392' post='2978462'] Well, a scrap of paper with all the Rolling Stones autographs, a seller wants £750. That includes a signature by Brian Jones, which I would imagine bumps up the price significantly.. I would have to say that it is around £2000 overpriced. Maybe £500 tops as although it is a cheap guitar, it is better than a scrap of paper. An album is for sale with the current line up, plus Bill Wyman for £1850, and it doesn`t even include the record. No idea how long these items have been up for sale. These are completed listings of Rolling Stones autographs from ebay. so may give a clearer indication of it`s true value. [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_sacat=0&_nkw=rolling%20stones%20autographs&LH_Complete=1&LH_Sold=1&rt=nc&_trksid=p2045573.m1684"]http://www.ebay.co.u...=p2045573.m1684[/url] pasted wrong link [/quote] As I wrote timmo, anybody can ask what they like. I just didn't think Basses for Sale/Trade was the right place. TBH I didn't think Basschat was the right place, but that is only an opinion and certainly not my call. If I'd seen where it had moved to I wouldn't have started the thread. I only did so because I thought it had been removed.
  11. karlfer
    Ooops, yup, it's been moved. I'm gonna be in trouble Apologies Mods, please delete this thread I did check the guitars section before I posted this, but NOT the section it has been moved to
  12. karlfer
    It's been removed. Anybody can ask what they wish for an instrument. Nearly £2300 for an £89 guitar (thankfully not a bass ). Well done that Mod!

    [quote name='tom1946' timestamp='1455256492' post='2977476'] I'm getting better all the time Karl me awd buddy I get the pickup thing now. [/quote] Good to hear you are on the mend fella

    [quote name='emilibass' timestamp='1455227853' post='2977362'] I had one of these from the very same year. The PUs are correct. They have the date handwritten on them. They have a split coil, like a P pu. In my case, the N3 letter printed on the pu cover started to disappear due to grazing. Perhaps that's what happened here. By the way, I swapped the N3s for a Jess Loureiro handmade pickups in the end. I was trying to find the classic passive JB. But that's another story. Hope I have been of any help [/quote] Yes, very helpful, thank you. [quote name='Chiliwailer' timestamp='1455281383' post='2977734'] Right you are not, double bass does Yoda play [url="http://s1381.photobucket.com/user/chiliwailer/media/image_zpszzqdpaca.jpeg.html"][/url] [/quote] Brush daft as are we All pm's replied thanks

    Thanks ikay, seems to be either that or for some reason the original owner changed the plastic covers Many thanks for your help, much appreciated ta

    That's brilliant Daniel, many thanks for that. If anybody would know, you would know

    I put my Am Deluxe Jazz up for sale and somebody pointed out it didn't have the N3 pups which are standard. I'd never noticed, honest guv So just wondering if anybody can identify these pups please? Thinking strongly of withdrawing it rather than selling somebody a wrong 'un. All the passive/active electrics work exactly as they should so I have no problem keeping it although I've hardly ever used it. Cheers in advance folks, ta.

    That's really kind Paul, thank you I've had a look under the hood and I'm still in the dark , so I'm going to start a thread in the gear section asking for advice, meanwhile anybody like to chip in?

    ABSOLUTE STEAL for a '98 Deluxe Andy, somebody's going to get lucky!
  21. karlfer
    No probs with mine, fabulous amps.
  22. karlfer
    Hiya Tom, hope you are on the mend me owd fruit bat This bass SHOULD be equipped with Fender N3 noiseless pick ups. Those pups have N3 written on them (link) [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/fender_n3_noiseless_j_bass_pickup_set.htm"]http://www.thomann.d..._pickup_set.htm[/url] I was pm'd last night pointing out these pups haven't got N3 on the covers. In 2 or 3 years it never occurred, I honestly had never noticed. I will take it to bits this weekend and take some photos.
  23. karlfer
    IMPORTANT. Following is my reply to a PM received last night. "Thanks for your mail Orlen. I bought the bass for about £1100 couple of years back. YOU are bang on right! In all that time I have never noticed, but those pups DON'T have N3 on them, thanks for spotting it and saving me possible grief later on!. Now, all the electrics work exactly as they should, both passive and active, so I'm guessing the originally owner had these installed professionally. I will strip it down at the weekend and try to find out what the pups are. I had 8 offers of trades on Facebook yesterday, from a Rick to a Conklin 7 string. Thankfully none of them were quite right. Thanks again, Karl. "

    [quote name='arthurhenry' timestamp='1455106101' post='2975886'] $449 = £300 ish [/quote] Would be nice, but unfortunately, by the time shipping, VAT and import duties go on, it's probably going to be nearer £400 at a pessimistic guess.

    Excellent review as ever discreet, loving the retro vibe on it as well. Edit. Jeez, "retro vibe" am I becoming an old hipster
