  1. I’m going to have 2 less soon. Maybe more.
  2. See jazz post...🤮 @walshy @funkle
  3. Been a journey this bass. There really isn’t anything to describe the healing and pain I’ve been through with this bugger. Bought from a very good friend @three years ago. I bought it to get myself through a messy separation, sold it to pay for my wedding and bought it back to celebrate the birth of Maggie. Life really does dictate I should get my affairs in order and I’m playing less than ever - I’m debating amps, effects and other basses as I go. so, Here’s the best jazz I’ve ever played, owned, felt...looked at. Its early 2000’s and a complete 1 off. light, resonant and just perfect. The neck is 64 jazz width, 75 P depth - a total curiosity, but it’s amazing. Just a bit more in the hand than a 60’s jazz. the neck is exquisite - flame, Birdseye/quilt. it’s a relic, done tastefully. Olympic white nitro, with a matching headstock. As with the flea, don’t tell me I’m a nutter, I know I am. Collection is advised - shipping can happen at your arrangement and insured is requested. my heart is beating slowly as I type “submit topic” bloody sad.
  4. I really don’t want to. The jazz is looking at me with sad eyes too. don’t know if I can do both.
  5. I have to get my ducks in a row. I might list the White Jazz too at some point. I’m playing less and less, the band isn’t moving forward. I have a relentless set of bills and with no lottery win on the way... I got this last year. A plan 20 years in the making. Cost me a great bass and a bank loan to get it. Its a 2001 flea, the badass, gotoh machine heads, Duncan/Modulus pickup, Aguilar preamp. some minor dinks and knocks (but nothing shocking) and looks ridiculously lovely - very hard to photograph as I never managed to capture its loveliness. the case is battered, but original. I’d prefer collections. but will post at buyers risk and cost (insured only). Can’t believe I’m doing this - but, please...please don’t tell me I’m mad etc. It’s stinging enough as it is...
  6. I knew you’d know mate 😉
  7. Is that the “Rocco” one?
  8. It’s not an orange 414
  9. He never sold it? @kevin_lindsay knows the man himself and I’m pretty certain he still has it.
  10. Those neck plates crop up on 1990’s MIJ fenders quite often. Seen a fair few.
  11. six. Well, 7 but one is the most halfarsed project ever and is sort of sprayed around a mates house... will probably have a big cull soon and end up with 3.
  12. Listed it on eBay last night. Have delisted it tonight with 60 views and 5 watchers.
  13. Listening back to rehearsals with a P setting. Just such a sound.... the ones with the Modulus sound...dunno. Just like me playing someone else’s bass 😂😂😂
  14. The BB414 covers both. And cost less that 1/5th of the Modulus
  15. Try running slapped triplet runs with a humbucker in the way 😂😉
  16. I like the idea of reclaimed wood or repurposed furniture. ”Upcycle” basses or something. Dad always had scaffolding boards about (he was a steeplejack) - I always wanted a bass using those planks.
  17. “It’s illegal to put barcodes on guitars” an area manager for a guitar shop I worked at.
  18. It’s not to buy anything, I already have a bass that will do what I’m after.
  19. Well, I’m having a think on it. Reality is I’ve got a few grands worth of basses and I’m not playing them much, and with the band I’m thinking a bass I already have (Orange bb) will do the sound I’m after.
  20. Hate how flats feel. I feel regretful bass sales upon the horizon...
  21. I know, unfortunately, the music does a bit anyhow
  22. Sounded better with the Ibanez HSS rather than the HH setup of the Jackson. So...inadvertent win.
  23. Righto... Been using a Yamaha BB714BS, it’s brilliant. But I only use the P pickup, and the humbucker is in the way. Using a Modulus flea makes everything sound like RHCP (in my head). so. I have two awesome basses I’ve chased all over the place and wanted for years. And I’m using a P setting. how infuriating is that?! Doesn't help that it was a crap rehearsal tonight in a god awful room.
