    Thanks for the kind words. I may move it onto eBay soon though if there's no firm takers here... Pete

    [quote name='BassManKev' post='191247' date='May 3 2008, 03:19 PM']its the battery compartement routed to the control area (probably bad tech terms, but sure you get me) and piezo pickup system??[/quote] The battery cavity is not routed continuously with the main control compartment, but is separate and has a nice Gotoh batery box in there. The leads run through a channel to the main control cavity; they're still nestling in there at the moment! The piezo pickup system is removed - I couldn't recoup the costs of selling it with this bass, so I'm going to install it on a different one instead. Hope that helps! Pete

    Hi all. I'm selling my fretless - many of you will remember me selling this Fender 2001 MIM Jazz Bass with Status Graphite unlined Jazz neck in [topic="15780"]another thread[/topic]. However, there have been some changes which necessitate re-listing: 1. It now has the piezo pickup system and straplocks removed, and 2. the price has now dropped to £400, which is what I paid for it (bought from martthebass). Full specs are now as follows: Body: Electron Blue colour, poplar Neck: Graphite, Status, Jazz profile Pickups: MIM Controls: front PU vol, rear PU vol, tone Strung with TI Jazz Flats There are one or two dings on the body, and there are a couple on the headstock (see photos), but cosmetically it is stunning. Especially with the mirror pickguard (although I'll ship it with the original white one also). The photos are very high-res so you can have a detailed look at its condition. It now has a battery compartment in situ, for anyone who might want to consider a preamp. As I said before, it's great instrument, but I'm not much of a fretless player. Very happy to ship it to wherever it is desired. Thanks all. Pete

    Hi all I'm trying to find a link that I thought I saw on here, to a *.pdf file with a nice way to approach structuring practice time. However, I've trawled a few threads and I can't find it. I think it may link to one of the music schools, but I'm darned if I can actually find the thread or the link! Can anyone help? Pete

    Hi all. I've been following this thread a while, as I have been wondering the same things as the original poster; however I have had more in the way of time constraints to consider. My answer was not to study in the UK at all, but to go to the Players School Of Music in Florida and study with Jeff Berlin. For a fuller review, search my threads. I posted a really long one after I finished up a 1-month course there last year. I'm intending to go back either Oct or Jan next year for 3 months. Cost including flights/accom/tuiton/car hire/etc for 1 month was about £1700. I lived real tight for a while. Cost for 3 months is going to be around £3000. I think it's great value for money though. 6 months later I'm still improving and practicising daily. Pete

    I've been doing this on 4 string recently. I picked up a book called 'The Classical Fake Book'. It's out there as a pdf file..... I haven't done a lot with it, but I have transposed Bach's 'Jesu, joy of man's desiring' into bass clef and played with the arrangement a little. Not much tapping, just playing it straight. Great sight-reading practice. I may take other pieces and re-arrange them/transpose. There's book of Bach bass transciptions which I bought also - I'm playing the Prelude in G major, again very straight, no tapping. Can't remember who it's written by at the moment...type 'j.s. bach for bass' into googl;e and you'll get it. Essentially I think the author took the cello suites and changed a couple of notes here and there. Hope that helps. Pete

    Hi all, I would appreciate it if anyone who's interested in buying would PM me. As it is, I'm thinking about moving this on to eBay. Thanks. Pete

    Oh yeah, that makes it just dandy Pete [quote name='Steve_K' post='162724' date='Mar 24 2008, 05:19 PM']*hides under sheets* Sorry guys! Don't like either if that makes it any better? [/quote]

    Hi guys It's definitely a J-body, NOT a P-body. Hope that helps! Pete

    I'd never noticed that, but you're right. When I checked the bass, I see it only affects the E string, and sonically I've never noticed it. I suspect it's because Fender MIM Jazzes have the neck pickup the same size as the bridge pickup - a common hazard when replacing the pickups, and one you need to be careful of, if you're considering it. Pete [quote name='thisnameistaken' post='161972' date='Mar 22 2008, 09:00 PM']I'm looking at fretless 4s at the moment, but it'll be a week or so before the cash trickles in. One question: Is the alignment of the pole pieces a bit off on the neck pup? It looks weird - like both pups are bridge pups?[/quote]
