  2. Open to offers and possible trades for light weight basses with jazz width neck
  3. Reduced to £525 to sell Will post in hard foam case for £35
  4. Weight is 10lbs. Not particularly heavy for a bass. I have owned heavier, but these days I gig with only light weight basses of 8.5lbs or lower.
  5. Now reduced to £575 Post for £35
  6. Rotosound steel roundwounds seem particularly harsh on the picking fingers. I've changed to nickels or D'Addario nickel. But it really is down to playing too hard. But that's where I get my sound. I'll keep trying to be more gentle. Next weekend I'm playing in two bands one after the other. That's four 45 minute sets with an hour between bands.
  7. Interesting posts. Ive been playing for many years but im now getting a very sore index finger after every gig. Good point about playing softer. I start off playing soft but after a couple of songs im really digging in again. Cant help it. Im even considering learning to use a pick on few songs. I will have to try to control myself.
  8. Yamaha BB1024X £475 I picked this up in a trade with another basschatter. It is a stunning bass. These basses are so well made and so well designed. The neck feels great at 40mm at the nut. Unfortunately for me I have another incoming bass and I’m being told that “10 basses is enough” (not including the NS EDB and the double bass, of course, shhh!). So the rule of last one in etc This is a truly beautiful instrument. The depth of the wood finish is lovely and the design incorporates clever angled thru body stringing and powerful passive pickups. Construction Bolt-On Scale Length 34'' (863.6mm) Fingerboard Rosewood Radius 10" (250mm) Frets 21 Body Alder (Spline Joint) Neck Maple/ Nato 5pcs Bridge Vintage Plus (Brass Saddle, Steel Plate) Pickups Neck: Split Blade (Alnico V), Bridge: Single Blade (Ceramic) Pickup Switch 3P Toggle Switch Controls Master Volume, Master Tone https://www.yamahamusiclondon.com/BB1024X-Bass-Guitar/pidYAM-BB1024X-SUPER http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Yamaha_BB1024X_SH.html I’m in Malvern.

  9. Nice bass Stewblack but im looking for something 8.5lbs or under.
  10. Fender Precision made in USA “Hot Rod” PJ Bass Yours for a £825 I’m going to regret this. I love this bass - it looks fantastic with its red/orange translucent body showing the wood grain. Rosewood fingerboard – I’d started to get tired of always playing maple necks. The range of sounds you can get is huge from the usual precision split coils plus the addition of the jazz bridge pick up. (which is why I bought it) And it weighs 8.5lbs. Perfect for my iffy back. Only thing is, I just can’t get on with the Precision width neck. I’m too used to Jazz necks. I have considered fitting a jazz neck to it (which I’ve done on a cheap Precision for my house bass) but it's seems crazy to do it to an £800 bass. However I’ve decided to let it go and look for something else JJ, PJ, PMM lightweight with a Jazz neck. Sandberg, Maruszczyk... It came with both bridge and pickup covers which I’ve never fitted. Also will come with the thumb rest which I took off but I’ll refit . I’m in Malvern, Worcestershire Happy to meet up half way within reason
  11. May trade for a light weight 4 string with jazz width neck, jj, pj, jmm, mm.
  12. Hi The bass weights 8lbs. I've attempted to record the bass plugged into a TC Electronic combo with the eq set completely flat so you can hear the instrument itself using my Zoom H2 recorder The noise at the start is me switching the recorder on! Apologies for the crap playing! Thanks for the questions Bolin 5 String.MP3
