[quote name='Thor' timestamp='1470745207' post='3108071'] Sweet looking bass Karl - I'm sure it won't hang around too long at that price. So how many basses have you been through this year? [/quote] One shall plead the 5th Pete [quote name='Damonjames' timestamp='1470746627' post='3108091'] Basses?? I think it's only the FSR that survive from ANY of his gear to see the year out!!! I bet there is a pool of seafoam green at the base of his guitar stand as it quietly sweats waiting to be shifted on too lol.

Thank you gents. I see you kindly took me at my word. IE barracking . Whilst Hofner would be very appropriate for one of next years gigs, I refuse point blank to ever play one of those again .

[quote name='bassgurumonster' timestamp='1470690848' post='3107760'] [/quote] Shut up Mike [quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1470691676' post='3107771'] Surely this merits more explanation..? What '50s amp are you using for this new venture..? And what 'period' strings..? I'm glad I'm a drummer; would't want to have to play on a '50s kit..! Are your band mates equally as zealous as you, or are they a sensible lot..? This forum would be the poorer without these topics, though..! [/quote] 50's STYLE dad, I know you're a drummer but try to pay attention [quote name='Damonjames' timestamp='1470692058' post='3107773'] This breaks my heart Karl... I was hoping you would hang on to this long enough to to shift my bass and get some pennies together. After reading some of the horror stories on these basses, I instantly loved this one when I played it. The pickups are very full, and the neck pickup could almost pass for a p. Neck is very comfy and I have tiny hands, so don't stress about the slightly deeper neck profile. It is reliced quite heavily as you would expect, but it is very light, noticeable after playing his old Adam Clayton. Someone is getting a steal!!!! [/quote] Thanks Damon, but the bigger shows aren't until next year and I'm very unlikely to get the trade I'm looking for. So, I'll save up and you can save up . Hope 1st contact was good [quote name='Schnozzalee' timestamp='1470692385' post='3107777'] Switch to the neck pickup and say it's a '59. [/quote] Sadly they know jazzes weren't around in the 50's. It needs to be a P. They would like it to be blue, but that ain't happening

[quote name='tom1946' timestamp='1470686832' post='3107704'] I'm a bit stuck for words..... not like me I know..... can't you make do with that scruffy thing at the top? (runs and hides) [/quote] No Jazzes in the 50's Tom [quote name='warwickhunt' timestamp='1470687221' post='3107712'] Phew, easy pay out it was you mate! [/quote] Pleased to be of service John. I assume my match fixing cheque is in the post?

Just wondering who got me in John's "book" that he was running Or did he not give odds on me

2016 Fender Flea Jazz. Not really for sale. Due to a new band I need a 50's style Precision. Hope DamonJames will help me out with a testimonial to this bass. It's one of the very light and good ones IMO. I have cleaned off the mucky film they put on the scratchplates. TRADE REQUIRED REALLY. I would VERY much like to give somebody this bass plus some cash for a splendid conditioned Fender American Vintage 57 Reissue Precision. Preferably Sunburst, but any really.

[quote name='blisters on my fingers' timestamp='1470428956' post='3106004'] Hi Karl The label on rear of the driver is a "proper" Genz Benz logo, and states Model : GEC-12200-8 Impedance 8 ohms Engineered and tested in the USA Manufactured by Eminence Dongguan, P.R.C. Great lightweight quality cabs, very pleased with mine. Like you say will keep up with a very loud drummer [/quote] Damn Andy, you're good Many thanks for that, cheers, Karl.

On hold until Sun eve thanks.

I've not used the Ashdowns I'm afraid. No idea what the speakers are, except they are ceramic. Not much use am I . There are quite a few testimonials from users on the Bass Direct site. The 112T's were showing at a price of £339 each, so yes, budget for Genz Benz at the time. But for the scuffs and nicks I would have been asking north of £300 for them. They do not come up very often at all. There is the script below (I've culled some of the talk about heads). Quote. "We’d been asking for less expensive cabinets and combos for the European market for some time, and Genz Benz dutifully obliged at this years NAMM. Such was the success of the new ‘FOCUS’ cabinets, Bass Gear Magazine awarded them a ‘Best in Show’ award, one of only 6 awards that they give out at the show. Here is what they [BGM] had to say on their forum: While I was there, however, I did hear both of the 112's together as well as the new Focus cab line. Very impressive. I predict the Focus cab line will be a huge seller. Even though they're not NEO, they're still very light and can really take the juice and pump out the sound. What really blew me away were the Focus cabs. They sounded like they belonged in a much higher price range, and the light weight and form factor was very nice. We ended up giving Genz-Benz one of our six Best of Show Awards for the Focus line of cabs, and I think they totally deserved it." End quote.

Hmm surprisingly only two messages regarding these splendid, light weight, powerful well made cabs. They are replied to. Over to you ED https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=urvdCExs2kI

[quote name='Bassman666' timestamp='1470336677' post='3105302'] Is that a flea sig jazz? Took delivery of mine today,very nice indeed! Have a off topic bump [/quote] Thank you, enjoy yours [quote name='andybassdoyle' timestamp='1470337370' post='3105310'] I'm sure I used a focus 2x10 for a while a year or two back. Really good for the money I think. These look to be a bit of a bargantino and not at all tatty! [/quote] Thanks Andy, sorry, I'm always a little critical of condition of my gear. Only going because a new project demands something vintage looking (as in cloth fronted). Suppose a Barefaced will suffice
