Hey Dude

Unfortunately i don't have any SPB-1s, but if you have no luck how much would you sell your pickups for?

[quote name='StevieD_FenderP2009' post='648501' date='Nov 8 2009, 02:00 AM']Here i have up for grabs a set of Seymour Duncan SPB-3 Quarter Pound Split P Bass pickups.

I'd preferably like to trade them for a set of the SPB-1 P Bass pickups please

Condition - 9 / 10

I would say 10 but they're not brand new so they can't be 10 but basically, they look as if they're new

I fitted them to my old sunburst P Bass that i had for about a month before selling it but i took the pickups out before i sold it so they were in the bass for about a month and that is all theyve been used for. After that, i put them in a protective box and that was that. Reason for selling the bass was I was made a very good offer for it so I couldnt refuse.

Theyre excellent pickups and i have a set in my other P bass (Which is currently being re-painted) but i want to try out some SPB-1's so yeah. If you have some, let me know

Cheers

That really is madness. I had one and sold it for £100. Really only worth that second hand.

which is clearly not a Pro IV TB, it's a boggo old style Epi TBird, which you can get for £199 new at GAK.

and then there's this

Since when did changing the scratch plate and TRC add £150 to the value?[/quote]

PM'd!

I would buy this off you. However i dont have a USA P one. I would be more than happy to purchase a brand new WD Music Licenced USA guard for you and swap for it?

[quote name='Jase' post='645213' date='Nov 4 2009, 01:25 PM']I've got this spare Bob Glaub Black P.guard, wondering if anybody would trade for a USA Precision black P guard [/quote]

Hey James

Is the Drop D tuner available seperately. Do you know if this will match the "Ultra-Lites" on my Lakland Duck Dunn? Do you have a pic and a price for just the D-Tuner?


Thanks in advance.




[quote name='Jamesemt' post='641274' date='Oct 30 2009, 04:29 PM']I've got a set of unused ultralite tuners and one drop D ultralite that was installed for a couple of days. Immaculate condition in chrome.

I've just measured them: the three regular ultralites are the smaller post width (I believe it's 3/8''). The drop D is 1/2''.

Would like to swap for a modern set of tuners (with the triangular heads) ultralites or similar. Any finish considered...[/quote]

I am basically after a Gallien Krueger 410RBH Cab preferably a 4ohm, but would consider an 8ohm. Anyone out there got one and wanna swap for my amp head?

Just another mistake that made him realised he needed his Fender.
[quote name='steve-soar' post='636013' date='Oct 25 2009, 11:40 AM']I thought he looked well cool with his Steinberger.[/quote]

Hey there

Going by from what your username is. I would highly recommend the Fender Classic Series Basses, especially the 50s Reissue. Foxton himself, is currently using the American version in black (with modded Pearl Scratchplate) going through his Marshall rig, and it sounds great.

Here is a link : [url="http://www.fender.com/products//search.php?partno=0131702306"]Fender Classic 50s Precision Bass[/url]

This bass would also fit the image and sound for your covers band. A very retro looking bass with the Anodised Plate.


As i said before i would recommend anything from the Classic (Mexican) series as well as any of the new Classic Vibe or Vintage Modified Squiers.

If you have an idea of budget you'd like to spend, im sure we can help pin-point your next bass a bit more accurately. I might be way out the ball-park if you've got a grand to blow?




[quote name='FoxtonFanClub' post='636003' date='Oct 25 2009, 11:29 AM']Hi everyone!

This is my first time on here.

I only picked up a bass for the first time a couple of years ago - a Fender Squier - and I've been doing a few gigs with a covers band (Kings of Leon, Oasis, Arctic Monkeys, Kaiser Chiefs stuff etc).

I'm sure you've all heard this question a zillion times but where do I go from a Squier?

Anyone got some advice as to the next step up as I think I've outgrown it now.....

Would be grateful for a steer

BUMPETY BUMP!![quote name='chriswilliams666' post='629969' date='Oct 19 2009, 12:05 AM']Hey guys


Up for grabs is my girlfriends Johnson JP-800 starter bass. She started at Christmas 2008 as this was a present. I think the "Fad" lasted until Boxing day. The best thing about the bass is the "apparent" Alder body and the hardware is ok. I have no idea how to confirm this but all the spec online says it is Alder. It is in immaculate condition

Here is the spec (as per online shop)
[i]These basses suitable for anybody from student players to live players and even studio use, they make the perfect back us bass and are ideal for the home studio set-up.

You get a bass with a heavy alder body, traditional bolt on 34" scale hard maple neck with rosewood skunk stripe and a 20 fret rosewood fingerboard. The Johnson basses generally set up very well with a good action, excellent for a bass in this price group and thanks to the good quality elephant ear chrome tuners they stay in tune.

Apart from the high quality woods used you also get an amazing Johnson EMG Precision style pick-up which is just outstanding. The controls are chrome and consist of one volume and one tone control giving a good flexible range of tones that when put through a decent amp at high volumes will simply amaze you

All in all these are remarkably high spec basses for the money and you will not be disappointed with the weight, appearance, the feel, balance or tone in fact you will probably wish you had bought a couple at the same time.

Full size 4 string bass
Alder body
C profile maple neck with skunk stripe inlay.
Adjustable neck truss rod
20 fret rosewood fingerboard
1 x Johnson EMG pick-up
1 x volume controls
1 x tone control
3 ply scratch plate white-black-white
Chrome open back tuners with elephant ear pegs.
Traditional adjustable chrome bridge
Scale length 34" - 86.5cm.
15/8th" - 42mm nut width
Total bass length 47" - 119cm[/i]


I am after a local collection only as it isn't worth shipping.

£50 to a good home.


I am in Bognor Regis, West Sussex.[/quote]

Hey Guys

Dont know if i am coming in too late here. However i use a Furman PL-Plus Power Conditioner, within my rack of stuff. The main reason for using it is because my rack consists of a wireless, effects unit, tuner and amp which are all mains powered and in the rack case. It just makes it a lot easier if the whole rack is plugged into one power source i.e. the Furman and one master mains switch. The other great features with the Furman gear in particular is the Rack light you can use at the front, which will illuminate all of your equipment for dark and dingy venues (I play alot) as well as extra IEC outlets on the front and back. I can power any additional pedals from this unit too.

I have attached a picture of my rig to show you the conditioner in place. (Its the very top rack unit)

Also if you look at any pics of touring rigs (I have attached a pic of Slash and Duff McKagans rigs) they will always without a doubt have a power conditioner, and 9 times out of 10 it will be a Furman. [url="http://www.furmansound.com/"]Click for Furman's Website[/url]



[quote name='machinehead' post='629034' date='Oct 17 2009, 08:58 PM']I have to agree with Alex here. The UK power supply is very clean and stable and any decent amp will be fine.

Frank.[/quote]

Taken out a Squier Vintage Modified 70s Precision Bass. All complete and ready to stick in your bass. Will need the Bridge/Earth Cable to be soldered.
Seymour Duncans website describes the pickup as "A vintage pickup for P-Bass, the PB-101 uses sand cast alnico 5 rod pole pieces."

Comes pre wired with Volume Pot, Tone Pot, Capacitor, Jack Socket, Two Knobs and pickup height screws!

£10 the lot inc. Postage

Hey dude

I have one set of Schaller Strap locks going spare, as i use Dunlop ones. Fancy a swap?

[quote name='RhysP' post='623159' date='Oct 11 2009, 03:18 PM']I've got a couple of sets of Dunlop straplocks knocking about (the strap button & the locking bit that goes on your strap) That I'm not using as all of my basses & guitars have got the Schaller ones.
They're in pretty much as new condition - never been gigged & only used a few times.
If anyone has got one or two sets of chrome Schaller straplocks they'd be interested in swapping then please PM me.

Ideally monies to fund another cab. But whatcha got?

[quote name='Ou7shined' post='622959' date='Oct 11 2009, 11:15 AM']Looking for any trades?[/quote]

Hey guys.

Im sure you all know what this is. The Pandora normally sells online for a minimum of £99 and £24 for the Official Power Supply.

I am looking for £75 and a couple of quid for 1st Class Recorded Post. This is immaculate with original Box.


If anyone wants more info or pics, let me know!


Thanks

I have used both those companies. I got great results from both, however i believe the Silvertone covers are of better quality with more padding too. Silvertone did take a bloody age to get them to me, and made up some pretty terrible excuses for the delay. Amplifiercoversonline had a quicker turnaround, but not by much.

I have recommended Silvertone to quite a few mates, who have also been satisfied with the results.

I guess it just depends on the day...

Just aquired a Squier Vintage Modified P-Bass off Tim, and a perfect transaction it was. Quick, easy, mutually beneficial = no problemo. Nice guy too! Although he insists on them terrible Pickup and Bridge Covers!

Thanks again, and Enjoy the OLP!

Thanks again for a great recommendation on this bass. Hopefully someone will be up for a swap![quote name='OutToPlayJazz' post='616925' date='Oct 4 2009, 10:03 PM']I had one of these twin humbucker OLP's for a while. Seriously great sounding bass for the money. Highly recommended![/quote]

How is that heavily modified beast?

Hey Dude

Thanks for the comments. Will copy them pics over in a bit. I have gigged it once and then put it on the stand at home. It really isnt a live bass for me. As an owner of 3 Fenders that i use live, the active thing just confuses me.

Dont suppose you have an old Squier lying about you wanna swap for it? lol




[quote name='Tait' post='616909' date='Oct 4 2009, 09:53 PM']this was originally mine! lovely bass, highly recommended!

[url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=51895&hl="]My original sale thread[/url]

heres the original sale thread, i figured some pictures of the actual bass might help the deal.

also, chris is a great guy to deal with, when we did the trade it went really smoothly and was done quickly.[/quote]

Hi Guys

Recently got this from a fellow Bass Chatter in a trade for a guitar. This is the only "Active" bass i have, and i just cannot use it in a live situation along with my passive Fenders. I can't be bothered to complicate things with switcher/ABY pedals either. So the hunt begins for a decent Squier or other Fender copy Jazz or Precision Bass. I am open to pretty much any colour/fretboard but would prefer something 60s looking White/Tort/Rosewood or colours like Lake Placid Blue/Sonic Blue/Fiesta Red/3TS. Also the traded bass does not need to be mint condition, i am thinking of "Relicing" it anyway.

What have you guys have to offer. I will add pics of my OLP tomorrow sometime. But its pretty much A1 condition apart from a small knock by the bottom strap button.

There is a Fender Gigbag in it the sweeten the deal.

For now i have attached a picture of one from a shop.


Here is a spec;
Features basswood body, bolt-on North American maple neck, rosewood fingerboard, 34″ scale length, active electronics, two Musicman style pole pickups, 5-way pickup switch, volume and 3-band EQ controls.
