  1. Dear all, I would like to sell my Sandberg California JJ 5 string. Handmade in Germany 34" scale 22 frets 6 Bolt on neck maple board active/passive glockenlang preamp The preamp is pretty much the same as the passive sound when flat, but if you roll up that bass knob, you get a whole load of low end! They don't make this exact bass anymore but I assume (anyone know?) that the dimensions are probably the same as the 5 string jazz basses Sandberg make now. I bought it from the Bass Centre, London in 2008. It has been my main bass since then, and has a couple of small dings in the body, and one on the neck just back from the 3rd fret of the A string. This does not affect playing at all, and you can barely see it, as the string blocks it from view. See pictures. The screws on the pick guard are starting to rust a little bit. The neck joint screws are also rusting, but I've never had the neck off, so they're perfect. A bit of cleaner would probably sort them out. I changed out the Delano big pole piece pickups it originally came with, and put in a pair of hand made bill lawrence pickups that I got on here, so it sounds a bit closer to a jazz bass than most other Sandbergs do. I can't really post it, but I drive so if you pay my mileage I can meet you. Probably best to come and try though... It is currently strung with R Cocco nickel strings from bass direct. It's a really great bass, and I'll be sorry to see it go, but I'm just not using it so much anymore, as I'm mostly playing a precision and double bass nowadays. Was £750... now ** £725 ovno ** Priced for quick sale. Thanks for reading, SOLD

    Dear All, My Japanese Fender Precision "PB70-US" is up for sale. It's a reissue of a 70s style precision bass, with 70s style headstock writing, and a US pickup inside. All original parts. Made 2004-2005. It's in good condition, with the odd little mark, but nothing major. See photos. The string spacing is slightly narrower than most other precision basses, with the nut width being 40mm. Great if you find the normal P bass string spacing too large. This means it's dead easy to play by precision standards. It's been my main gigging bass for the last couple of years, and has done a great job in this time, and I really do feel that these Japanese Fenders are great value for money- so much so I've actually bought another slightly different one to replace it! you can hear this bass being played on "American Boy" at: www.myspace.com/jamesmorganbass and here: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JzzrsPZNA20[/media] (bass on audio only, not bass in the music video!) not the best recordings/playing ever, but it might be helpful to someone... It's quite a light bass, but is nicely balanced - nothing worse than a bass that wants to neck dive! Right now it's strung up with La Bella quarter rounds, but I can supply it with DR flats or DR highbeams (both used sets), if that's your thing. I can supply the serial number if needed. £500.00 ono No trades thanks. I can supply it with a used soft case. I am based in Greenwich, London, come try it out. Thanks for reading! James

  8. Hi, Up for sale is my Shadow Nanoflex Active Pickup. It is an underfoot system, where you put the pickups under the feet of your bridge, and attach the preamp to the strings. It has volume and tone control for easy on-stage adjustment. It is a great sound for a pickup, in my opinion picking up more detail than other similar pickups, because it picks up the sounds going through the treble side of the bridge as well as the bass side. It's in great condition, I will put up pictures, but for now: [url="http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B000MSQBHQ/ref=asc_df_B000MSQBHQ10277405?smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&tag=hydra0b-21&linkCode=asn&creative=22206&creativeASIN=B000MSQBHQ&hvpos=1o2&hvexid=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=2315706821075097220&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt="]http://www.amazon.co...&hvptwo=&hvqmt=[/url] If you want to hear it, it's mixed in here with a microphone feed also: [url="http://thousandmonkeys.bandcamp.com/album/thousand-monkeys-ep"]http://thousandmonke...sand-monkeys-ep[/url] There's a solo in [url="http://thousandmonkeys.bandcamp.com/track/korobeiniki"]Korobeiniki[/url] (tetris) that you can hear it clearly. Price: SOLD Collected from SE London or mailed at extra cost royal mail insured. James
  9. An eagle eyed basschatter pointed out it isn't a 60s reissue, but a reissue of the 70s fenders..
  10. Hear it at www.myspace.com/jamesmorganbass On "American Boy". This is before the pickup change, but still sounds great.

  12. *Withdrawn* Hello, Up for sale is my CIJ Fender Precision '70s RI. It's nice and light, well balanced, with slightly narrower string spacing than a regular precision, I believe the neck to be somewhere between a 50s precision and jazz bass neck. So it's substantial but easy to play. I do have the original pickup, pots, and capacitor, but I changed it all over for Bareknuckle stuff. It's still passive, but the new pickup, pots and capacitor give it a more open and punchy sound than the original electronics. I can put the original stuff back in, if you're not interested in the bareknuckle stuff.... The bass was made between 2002 and 2006, not sure when, you can see the serial so you can find out if you want to. It's in good condition, minimal fret wear, a couple of small dings here and there but nothing very noticeable. DR highbeam strings. I'm looking for £600, as the pickup/capacitor/pots rewire cost me about £130 plus the job to install it. Trades-wise, I'm only interested in other precisions, and nothing mexican thanks. Questions, thoughts, offers welcome! James
  13. No footage just audio. It's great though, good sound for a unreleased live recording!

  15. Hello, I've just acquired an Epifani UL502 amplifier, and I bought a Gator GRB 2U rack bag for it, to keep it safe. The head's feet made it quite tricky getting the head in, and the top of the amp is snug with the top of the rack bag. There are no vents on the top of the amp, and the vents on the side and bottom are not blocked. Is it ok for the top of the amp to be touching the cloth/plywood of the bag, or will it overheat? The amp fits so snugly that the rack mount screws are not needed, to hold it in the bag! Thoughts welcomed. James
  16. I bought an amplifier from Perry, super nice guy, A+

  18. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ny_8i2ektA4&feature=plcp Here's a transcription that I just finished working out. Pino Playing with D'Angelo on a live concert from a few years ago. Nice to hear the guy letting loose a bit! Enjoy..
  19. If you haven't already tried it, get Transcribe! for your computer: http://www.seventhstring.com/ Free trial download. It allows you to slow down, loop, select frequencies, tune, transpose an MP3, so it's a great tool for transcribing basslines, as you can boost the low frequencies. And when you've done the transcription, you can filter the bass out and play along!
  20. [quote name='Graham' timestamp='1344320946' post='1762640'] Hi James, Does this interest you at all? http://basschat.co.uk/topic/172849-mayones-custom-shop-be4-fsft-price-drop/page__p__1725008__hl__mayones__fromsearch__1#entry1725008 That's some good playing in that video too :-) [/quote] Sorry man that's not really my bag. Good luck with the sale!
  21. Just to clarify, it's not for sale, trades only. Unless you pay me a silly sum...
