  1. Hi all This may be a long shot, but here goes. Been playing quite a few Fender Jazzes and similar the last couple of days - turns out I love the sound of alder and rosewood (as long as it has single coils). However, I'm used to having 21 frets and decent upper fret access, and no-one seems to make an 'off the shelf' alder jazz bass with 21 frets (as opposed to 20, 22, or 24). Anyone know of a maker who does a nice jazz bass with 21 frets, an alder body, and decent upper fret access? (I have considered the US Darryl Jones with an alder body, but it's a little pricey for me...) I have entertained thoughts of a custom, but I'm a firm believer in trying out what's out there - too easy to go wrong on a custom! As an aside, played a Squier Classic Vibe 60's Jazz - knocked my socks right off! Unbelievable tone for the money. If I can't find anything out there with 21 frets, it's cheap enough that I might just buy one... Thanks. Pete
  2. Thanks for the comments gentlemen. I had heard from the Talkbass boards that the signature model is probably going to be pulled, and I had written the blurb on ebay wth that in mind also. However, from what I'm reading, it still looks like Lakland will be putting out a DJ model - just not the DJ sig anymore. Still, I'm sure it'll add some value to the instrument if later models are no longer 'signature'. Nonetheless, money still talks, and my bank account is barking at me... Pete

  6. Hi all I need to fund a further bout of GAS, so up for sale is my tasty Lakland 44-02 in Cherryburst. It's an '06 model with the Bartolini pickups and some minor player wear (on the pickups and some scuffs on the top edge of the headstock), but sounds flexible and tasty. It's pretty squarely in the Fender/Musicman camp, and I have had excellent J/P/MM sounds out of it, much as you would expect. Specs are at [url="http://www.lakland.com/44-02.htm"]http://www.lakland.com/44-02.htm[/url]. I had to import it from the USA, as there don't seem to be many available in the UK. I went for the nicely grained ash top, wasn't too keen on the quilt on most of the deluxe models. It'll ship in a tidy hard case, which can also been seen in the pics. I've also recently restrung with DR 40-100 Black Beauties, a special order gauge for that string (£30!). Reduced to [b]£750[/b] + shipping. Less than what I paid to import it, anyway...If you're interested, get in contact! Enjoy the pics!

  7. [quote name='TimmyC' post='593827' date='Sep 9 2009, 01:37 PM']Not sure off the top of my head. I'll get back to you tonight some time if that's cool.[/quote] Thanks! It makes a big difference. Pete
  8. [quote name='richardd' post='593212' date='Sep 8 2009, 07:44 PM'] Hi Pete .As far as I am aware between 1995 and 99 Fender fitted single pole pickups by John Suhr, of Pensa Suhr, as for the neck profile I think it is according to Fender 9-1/2 radius .Hope this helps Rich[/quote] Thanks Rich, that helps. Although I presume you mean single coil pickups, as opposed to single pole (although I can see they are single pole in construction from the photos).... Pete
  9. What's the neck radius? And are the pickups single coils or humbuckers? Thanks Pete
  10. Hi all, This is back on the market. Apparently, bassatnight has just been made redundant, and cannot afford to go ahead with the purchase. I wish him the best of luck, but in the meantime, it's back up for sale! Pete
  11. Sold pending payment to bassatnight. Thanks everybody! Pete
  12. Thank you everybody for your kind comments. Bump!
  13. Good morning bump! I meant to say - might be interested in an EA iAmp of some description + cash. Let me know what you have!
