Morning all Up for sale is a set of Squier '77 VMJ pickups. Working perfectly and sound great; I used the bass I got them in for a different build project, so no longer need these. They even come with spring loaded foam, a nice touch. Easy to use for a bitsa build. I'm selling for £27 plus postage. Pete

And they're gone, sorry folks.

And they're gone.

I've been trying out strings lately on a 'kick'. Cut these and put them on my Precision for 10 mins. They are not for me. Maybe they're for you, though. They feel great but I'm basically a lover of steel roundwounds... as it turns out. I've included the standard blurb below. La Bella Deep Talkin’ Bass Gold White Nylon Tape The Gold White Nylon Tape Wound bass strings are the latest addition to our popular tape wound lineup! Constructed with Golden Alloy (80/20 brass) underlays, these strings are brighter in tone compared to the Copper White Nylon Tape Wounds, and also have dramatically increased attack and sustain.

Hey all I've been trying out strings lately on a 'kick'. Cut these and put them on my Jazz for 10 mins. They are not for me. Maybe they're for you, though. They feel great but I'm basically a lover of steel roundwounds... I've included the standard blurb below. La Bella White Nylon Tape Wound bass strings have an incredibly smooth outer wrap of clear nylon to create a warm and deep low end. Compared to our classic Black Nylon Tape Wound bass strings, the White Nylon Tapes are even smoother to the touch and slightly brighter in tone, making them ideal for all genres of music on all types of basses.

Only the silk portion of the string should wrap around the tuning post. Only the silk should be cut or else the string will unravel. £23 posted in the UK. Sold. Pete

And they’re gone.

And it's gone.

...and it's gone.

It’s for increasing mass of headstock to help shift dead spots. Some people use it to try and increase sustain, but for me, it dealt with a dead spot.

Howdy all Up for sale is a body I got as part of another deal, but which I do not need. Specs: Squier Affinity PJ body Kiogon loom - V/V/T - not tested by me though.

Howdy all Up for sale is a Fender Fatfinger I used on a bass (now sold) to help deal with a dead spot. It worked, but I no longer need it. It's in good working condition. £19 + postage. Now sold. Pete

Hey all Up for sale is a set of pickup covers. One was from my Precision (bridge cover) and the other was from my Jazz Bass (neck cover). Official Fender parts bought long ago and hardly used after I realised they didn't work for me. They're in good condition, accordingly. No screws though. £27 plus postage. Sold. Pete

Hey all So here's another unique preamp. If you're looking at this, you probably know what it is already - a filter-based preamp. I've documented the sound of this well over at my Youtube channel, and perhaps some might be familiar with it through that. One video showcasing it is at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gAMnqz6Uoic&t=85s It can be used with any type of pickup, unlike the 'Special' version. Since I've now upgraded to the Mark 2 version of this preamp, I don't need the Mark 1 version anymore. This version doesn't have a pick attack/treble boost switch or variable Q filters of the Mark 2, though it remains excellent nonetheless. It has slightly wider frequency ranges for the pickups as a result. I've copied the original sales blurb for ease: 'The Double NFP is an onboard bass preamp. Unlike common EQ/Preamps, the Double NFP allows you to completely change the character sound of your pickups by shifting its signature resonant peak. This, plus the ability to actively mix them, gives you a full new level of exciting tones not available on regular EQ preamps. The Double NFP is a filter-based preamp alike the ones seen on basses like Alembic and Wal basses. It features one filter per pickup, offering more tone-shaping options, that are actively mixed through the pan/blend potentiometer and into a Master volume potentiometer. Being a low pass filter, it lets all bass frequencies pass through up to 4Khz where it starts cutting. The cutoff point has a resonant peak that can be boosted by pulling up the potentiometer. Each Filter potentiometer also allows you to sweep the cutoff point(resonant peak) within a range of 150Hz to 4 khz. Specs Sweepable Filters Range: 150hz to 4khz Resonant Peak (Q): +3db standard/ +6db (boosted) Operation: 9 to 27volts Current Draw: +- 4.5 mAh Dimensions Filter boards x2: W: 3.3cm; H: 2.3cm; 😧 1.7cm Potentiometers: Hole size is 6.35mm, and bush height is 10mm.' It's fully working, as you would expect. Happy to sell for £107 + shipping in the UK. Sold Pete

Looking at images on the web, I think it says ‘USA’ below the Hipshot logo on the non-Licensed versions. So these must be the ‘Licensed’ versions.

Hey Brian, are these USA versions or Licensed versions?
