I can't see why this wouldn't drive a power amp though , if the amp in question was 'open enough' on the inputs .

I think Dood used to plug into a rack compressor , then into a power amp , and he reckoned that that worked really well .

I think that Sting had his natural Jazz bass with a P neck - or so I was told .

An option might be (if you like them) , to get a Status P neck , and screw it on . Surely not much more than a wooden neck?

Bought a pedal off Nash - with my old fashioned payment method of cheque .

He was perfectly OK with that , and a smooth deal all round .

Thanks .

Love the look of that bass. What neck is on it?

I’m guessing the tape is to stop string/pole piece contact clicks noises? I did the same with a P bass til I got some completely enclosed covers.

Love that bass!

Thanks mate .

The bass , I've had for around 27 yrs , and is a bit of a mix and match .

Guy I bought it off , had a fretted and fretless , but the fretted sold . This green one was fretless , and had to find someone to fret it .

I was told , that he took all the hardware off two stingrays , and sold the bodies and necks , then got Roger Giffin to make the bodies . Then paid £500 a pop for each Modulus Quantum graphite neck from the States , and then got Giffin to assemble them . I think it may be 35" . The back however is pretty beat up - finish wise .

It is unique , and even though I've gone into double figures with the collection over the years , it's the only bass (bar around 4 or 5 gigs) , that I've gigged . Done everything from function stuff to rock .

When you've got a keeper , I think you know .

The tape is for , as you had - stop the pops . Just did it at the gig , as I'd raised the pickup to act as a sort of ramp , so I could play a bit softer , and it'd make the 3 fingered gallop easier - worked a treat

PM'd re B3K

Picture of tonight's gig (well technically last night's gig) .

Anyone mention heft? He he .

I love those larger Cali's - seem more control than the smaller ones (is this right?) .

Shame they don't do them anymore - or even find anyone who has one up for sale

PM'd , re chorus

What's the difference with a 1st Generation , to the subsequent one(s) - 2? 3?

Always great when you get a 'keeper' back .

I should've had that Modulus Jazz off of you when You had it up - another one , when I never had the funds at the time - nor did I when it was up for sale again with someone else .

Always wondered who ended up with that .

Persistence always pays off .

Nice one mate

Yep . I worked out the other day that I've sunk over a grand on pedals in the last 5 years .

Apart from the tuner , 2 are always on (SFX Thumpinator and Micro EQ) , and one only one gets used for a Muse song (Prunes and Custard) .

Still got them all - either sitting on the board , or at home in my wardrobe .

I agree , it's obscene he he

That's very light.

I bet it's like you're hardly wearing it at all

Nope , another company . It just has a similar feature set as the Noble - apart from the lack of pedal power .

Also a fair bit cheaper too .

Not strictly the same (ie no pedal power) , but this looks nice .

This in mental .

As I said earlier ; if this was 19mm not 17mm spacing , I'd be gigging it already .

Checked my main 2 basses last night just to be sure , and they're both 19-20mm (depending on what eye I have closed) .

Saying that , I'm almost tempted by it , just to see it go - this is just crazy guys

Someone's got a steal here .

As previously said - a Sadowsky in all but name .

I really ummed and ahhed about this - didn't need it , but wanted it he he

My current board

I agree . I'm a real Modulus fan boy , but I think that the string spacings are too narrow for me on these Quantum 5's - I like 18-19 mm

Killer bass , and killer deal

I'm about half an hour north - near Brandon .

Eden's will be too heavy ; but I've got a couple of Epifani 210's if you want to borrow one - I never use them

An old mate from school's mum , once told me that she saw Hendrix play down the road from me - in Watton Norfolk . (true story)

Perhaps when she goes , we can harvest her optic nerves , and flog them on Ebay

I like that .

What sort of LEDs were they - the strip ones?

I remember Stuart having this up - reckons it's an awesome slap machine .

I was half thinking about this at the time , and still unsure whether to save up a bit for a 5 headless commission .

Where are you based James?

4 ohm . One of my Eden's that I never used .

Tom's a great guy , and selling it on , for the price I sold it to him for - not many would do that

This was steal at this price , and I'm surprised that you'd had so many lowball offers - but sadly , even on here now , you just get wasters .

Glad you could sell in the end though mate .

Where are you Kev?
