    [quote name='RhysP' timestamp='1344253441' post='1761680'] A rather fantastic Zon legacy Standard (bolt on neck) for sale in Edinborough with an absolute bargain buy it now price of £799! [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ZON-LEGACY-BASS-GUITAR-4-STRING-BARTOLINI-PICK-UPS-CARBON-NECK-ASH-BODY-GIGBAG-/330774485568?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item4d03b21a40"]http://www.ebay.co.u...=item4d03b21a40[/url] [/quote] Local collection welcome - go get it

    Horses for courses, GHS Precision Flats for P-Bass, TI Jazz Flats for Jazz bass, for me they don't suit the other way round. GHS Black Nylons when I want that silky tone, these work on P's & J's. GHS are expensive in the UK but easy to get direct from the states, TI's also costly but worth the money every time. Status Hot Wires I'd vote best value for money though, all rounders - really top class flatwounds at very sensible price, usually posted next day

    I thought it was solved? Dave Swift, Jool's bassist

    Coventry is too far for me I'm afraid but no worries about lines, I started playing aged 14 with a bass my Dad made for me, couldn't afford fret wire in those days, must admit it had pencil marks though Looking forward to more pics. Cheerz, John

    Very nice (in a mirror) I'm seriously looking at one of their fretless, seem like excellent VFM Cheerz, John

    [quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1344086619' post='1759582'] £862 from Thomann - bargain! I thought brand new Fender Ps were well over a grand at present. [/quote] [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/fender_american_standard_pbass_rw_ow.htm"]http://www.thomann.de/gb/fender_american_standard_pbass_rw_ow.htm[/url] I had a job finding it 2nd time around, but there it is!

    [quote name='Musicman20' timestamp='1344076486' post='1759413'] Think I'm going to go with my craving and get one of these on order: [url="http://www.ebay.com/itm/2012-USA-Fender-American-Standard-Precision-P-Bass-Olympic-White-Maple-Unplayed-/110900217512"]http://www.ebay.com/...d-/110900217512[/url] [/quote] [quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1344080390' post='1759471'] At that price, even with shipping and customs charges, that will be a great buy. [/quote] [quote name='Highfox' timestamp='1344080861' post='1759479'] Wow! that is good value. Lucky I have my GAS in check for now. [/quote] [quote name='Musicman20' timestamp='1344083770' post='1759528'] Nah I don't think I'll get one imported, more than likely ask a store to match Thomann [/quote] From ebay/USA that'll end up costing you an estimated £988.75 all in - from Thomman £862 53 - simple choice!

    I would also have a look at the American Specials, you might find some bargains around, 1st I found for example: [url="http://www.guitarguitar.co.uk/bass_guitars_detail.asp?stock=11010712231031"]http://www.guitarguitar.co.uk/bass_guitars_detail.asp?stock=11010712231031[/url]

    As I said to another chatter the other day - I've had 4 (i think) Mexican P-s - none of them were 'keepers', nothing wrong with as such, sold them here & I believe the buyers are very happy with, but my USA's are staying. The choice is yours, I'd say USA if you can afford it & want a player + a keeper

    [quote name='lettsguitars' timestamp='1343986109' post='1758148'] By far the best method is to take them apart and rewind the coil yourself using a hand drill. [/quote]

    Now I understand, thanks for that, does look good, colour me tempted

    [quote name='ash' timestamp='1343669294' post='1753447'] This is my modded JV Precision, it's an '83 model made in Japan ofcourse and has all the ID stamps on the body, neck butt, etc, plus the usual Fender stamped shim in the neck pocket. I bought this because it has such a lovely neck and at the time I hadn't played a decent fretless before. The board is unlined ebony and has dots on the side to indicate the marker positions - not each fret, I have found it an easy bass to play and very intuitive. The second mod is that the original pickups have been replaced with EMGs with a matching Jazz pickup at the bridge. The electrics are a simple volume, volume, tone - the active pickups really bring out the fretless 'mwar' sound beloved of Jaco, Pino, et al. Like all the JV series construction is second to none with excellent balance and a light weight. The bass has the usual JV hardware - reverse tuners, threaded bridge, extra strap button behind the headstock. The scratch plate is a replacement as when I bought it it had a horrible home made one on it and non matching controls. The neck plate has the JV serial stamped on it. Condition wise it has quite a few dings and scrapes and where the Jazz pickup was routed there was a chunk out of the wood subsequently filled and varnished in an attempt to disguise it. It doesn't detract from the overall 'vibe' of the instrument and it could be quite honestly called 'road worn' without being near an over zealous belt sander! The back of the neck is beautifully figured and has barely a mark on it. This is a great sounding instrument and very easy to play but presently neglected so I'd like to gauge interest in a potential sale to perhaps free up some cash. I'm looking at £450 and am not interested in trades as I really need to trim down my collection of gear! [/quote] I like this a lot! Can you tell me what the first mod is? What am I missing? If the second mod is the pick ups? Sorry if I'm being thick but I keep reading it & don't get it Oh yeah - where's the battery fitted? Cheerz, John

    So sad to have to sell, that is one beautiful Jazz, really lovely. Best of luck with the sale & your new business venture. Cheerz, John

    Sold

    Must be one of those 'rare breed' wifes, I've heard about them - never had one ATB

    I wouldn't worry, if you've been trying to tighten it without taking the strain off, it will feel tight, most unlikely to be a problem IMO
