  1. If you still have this in a month I'm all over it. Been after a nice one for a while now
  2. I've strung it the same way my other basses are strung and none of them cause me problems. Having it set up professionally at some cost didn't solve the problem either :s. What could have been done wrong in the stringing process?
  3. I have an identical (apart from the block inlays) CIJ non export jazz, not sure of the model. This would a lovely sister for her.. I wish Id seen it earler
  4. I vote buy the travis. Then when you find your kramer I will hopefully have the funds to take the travis off your hands. Sound good?
  5. Ive always liked these. pretty interesting bass with an awesome tone. If only [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/travis-bean-bass_W0QQitemZ260542432877QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV?hash=item3ca98a066d#ht_500wt_1182"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/travis-bean-bass_W0Q...d#ht_500wt_1182[/url]
  6. Dude I love that colour! I would love to get my hands on an old toby but for now I can't afford one I'm breath taken by this one though. IVe never seen such a colour
  7. [quote name='neepheid' post='725255' date='Jan 26 2010, 03:06 PM']If you do go down the bridge replacement route, let me know as I'd take the original off your hands - a couple of the grub screws in mine are broken and have to be turned by pliers - not ideal! Also if you do find somewhere to obtain a bridge or the parts thereof, let me know.[/quote] I bet they're in a better state than mine are man. I wouldnt wish them upon anyone
  8. Mine is a G-1 sliding pickup version. Tuners are good strings are good too. I think its the bridge if its anything. No one seems to make a direct replacement bridge for it though. I dont fancy drilling holes in it if it can be helped.
  9. Hi guys. Do we have any grabber players/owners amoung us apart from me? I'm having massive tuning issues with mine. Seems it will only stay in tune in a practice room. One hint of an audience and it comes over all wobbly. I know grabbers are prone to this but does anyone have a quick fix? Any fix at all would do. Before you ask yes it has been set up recently.
  10. She doesnt have her case. she has a few non origingal parts (switches) and I've sanded the gloss off the back of the neck. shes in fine working order and is a terrific players instrument but shes not much of a looker. just to warn you
  11. how much would a T-40 have to be 1980? i have a non rail pickuped one in natural
  12. Ampeg SVT Classic 04 model. The SVT CL is a lovely amp, Very simple in design and user friendly, also fairly cheap to maintain. Has new set of Svetlana matched power valves and JJ drivers. Plastic valve holders have been replaced with ceramics and the amp has been looked after by a local expert and has been treated with respect all of its life. There is one tear in the tolex across the bottom of the front panel. Im really only looking to trade. I want something fairly light weight in comparison with plenty of power and preferably a valve preamp. MarkBass, SWR, Aguilar, Trace Elliot, Genz Benz. Im pretty game for anything of equal value and professional quality. Im not 100% what I want to be honest. I don't know a great deal about the market I am potentially going into either. Will post pics as soon as I take them. £800 is what they generally go for off evil bay. Postage is probably not a great idea. So collection from Bridgend/Cardiff area is preferred. Would travel for trade or drop off for petrol money. *edit* amp will be serviced and given a clean bill of health before it changes hands. Cheers Ash
  13. Norman Greenbaum - Spirit in the sky Not because no one can do it justice, but because it is cursed. It ends the careers of everyone who touches it.
  14. sh*t the bed. I really like that. I just hate the schecter headstock. also I hope maple is a fretboard option.
  15. Shed "hot n dangerous" (cocco specials) with standard Jazz passive electronics give me all the bite and balls I need. Sans amp BDDI provides extra drive and 8 10s create the wall of noise I like to refer to as "the delicate sound of thunder". I like its plug and play simplicity. I dont think this will ever change from my recording tone. Depending on my mood my Trace Elliot T-bass or my 2eq 'ray might take the place of my Jazz. I have too many basses....
  16. Thats a really early SB too if im not mistaken? it doesnt have the scrolling on the headstock
  17. I really like your S2 OTPJ.
  18. When did the bigger bridge get axed?
  19. question, was birdseye maple an option or was it the standard for a certain era of stingrays?
  20. There was a 4 string overwater original in black in speed music in cardiff when it was still open. It was marked up for £350 and was the first overwater Id ever seen. I wanted it but alas I could not afford it . the one that got away? I think so
  21. I have a wallet and a strat shaped belt buckle
  22. I feel the GAS setting in, I just dont have the readdies
  23. Im glad they put a chrome cover back on the battery compartment too.
