  1. Ok boys, you've convinced me. Just checked out John's web site, wonder if I'll get a discount having identical name? By the way what was the fretless of yours I played at the bash D? That had some nice pups in it. Reminds me, must get round to organising another this summer. John.
  2. Thanks for the replies chaps. I've had a p bass special and an sb-2 and liked the 2 pup config. Never played a P/MM config tho. But you reckon the bucker' doesn't add much at the bridge? The J retro sounds interesting. I just find the P pickup a little limited, so what does the P retro offer tone wise? The bottom line is I've found a great P, changing the neck for a jazz, now want to add a bit.of tonal variation. I don't really want another 4 string, so was hoping to get what I need out of one bass. John
  3. So looking to get a bridge pickup fitted to my P bass. Something simple, passive, just an additional volume pot. Fancied something humbucker-ish. Any recommendations, experiences? Thanks, John
  4. Geoff bought a fostex recorder off me, paid quickly and great comms too. Thanks, John
  5. [quote name='Baskesman' post='1250237' date='May 30 2011, 01:22 PM']had Pm'd for that P-neck :-)[/quote] Replied.
  6. I've got 3 necks....don't ask me how I ended up with 3 necks, but i have. [s][u][b]1 Maple neck P profile neck[/s], don't know the make[/b][/u]. Maple 1 piece with teak insert "skunk stripe" c "shape Natural finish Fingerboard: Maple (184mm radius), width at nut: 1.6 (41mm) Frets 20 vintage style. Truss rod adjustment at heel end (cross blade) This came off a custom P bass, so has holes where large vintage style tuners were. Also 4 holes at heel for body it came off, and 4 others that have been plugged. Very nice neck to play. [b]SOLD[/b] [b]£50 posted[/b] [b][s]Sue Ryder P bass neck, defretted and filled.[/s][/b] Rosewood board. This was my first attempt at a defret, and I soon remembered I have no patience for this sort of thing, so my approach was....ahem .."industrial". Also the nut was removed after I'd had enough trying to carefully file it down...I don't do "carefully" when it comes to this sort of thing. Perfectly playable neck, could do with a new nut and some..."finishing off". [b]THIS IS NOW SOLD[/b] [b]£5 to cover postage.[/b] [s][u][b]1 Jazz bass profile neck[/b][/u], [/s]with frets. Rosewood board. Has a "lip" at the heel end and a fret missing, this wasn't me your honour, it came to me like it. Feels quite a substantial neck and has an unusual headstock shape. [b]THIS HAS BEEN TAKEN[/b] [b]£5 to cover postage.[/b] Thanks, any questions please feel free to ask someone who knows something.[s][/s]
  7. Sorry, yes took it off, bad form I know. Couldn't bring myself to sell, then pay silly fees. Hence trade option on here. I'm not worried if I end up keeping this, I'll just borrow a 5 string twice a year.
  8. Bump with pictures.
  9. [quote name='TPJ' post='1237406' date='May 19 2011, 09:00 PM']ha ha Wish I had a "second job" [/quote] Sounds far too complicated and expensive. Do the body skeleton bits on the eub fit into the gig bag too?
  10. [quote name='Arco' post='1236609' date='May 19 2011, 08:42 AM']No problem, John. He is down there at the mo' - but if I remember rightly, not back there for a few weeks. ( "work" which means his other woman....) Ahem, otherwise we could meet somewhere I guess. Where are you?[/quote] I'm in Dorset, but am happy to wait till he is next visiting "work". If you are cool, I'm in no hurry, but am a firm buyer. I'll pm you tonight before we play. Cheers.
  11. Yup that looks like what I'm after. Burnham on sea is a little further west, but he may very well pass nearby on his way. I'm abroad on tour at the mo, but back next week. Are you prepared to wait that long for arrangements to be made? John
  12. Ok, swap didn't happen, so this is still here.
  13. Very interested in this, looking forward to seeing pics. Where in the uk are you?
  14. [quote name='Rasta' post='1229763' date='May 13 2011, 10:47 AM']I am in the same situation but need a P neck if you fancy swapping either necks or even basses as i quite like natural? I have a really nice Mighty might Jazz neck with 70's Precision logo on a P body, Fender Jap elecs with cream vintage PU covers & a funky capacitor inside to give vintage tones - not sure on the body, possibly Squire but its a relic'd sunburst-very cool and 70's looking. Anyhow i prefer P necks so could swap either necks or the whole bass if your interested?[/quote] Sounds cool Rasta. Probably more interested in a whole bass swap, in case the neck doesn't quite fit. Chuck some piccies up? Or PM me and I'll give you an email address to send some pics to. John
  15. Bump for a trade on any of the following: P bass special SB-2 Tribby Jazz bass This is an exceptionally nice bass, if you like P necks, I think you'll like this.
  16. Got a nice Epifani cab from Al. Nice price, nice cab, nice transaction, nice delivery...........nice. Deal with confidence people. John.
  17. [quote name='geoffbyrne' post='1228323' date='May 12 2011, 01:22 AM']I might be interested in the Fostex, but not the sequencer - might you split? G.[/quote] Hi G, I guess I could. £50 posted. Cheers, John

  19. [quote name='jazz bass 2010' post='1225741' date='May 10 2011, 12:56 AM']Let me know if you still have the Bass Trunk. Thanks[/quote] He does, but I'm hopefully picking it up this week though.
