If I didn't already have one or could justify having a second then I'd love one of these. I had a blue Schroeder 1212L and a green tolex V-type combo.

Fender Jazz Bass MIJ 1975 reissue - SOLD ON EBAY

I've been using D'addario EXL nickels for a few years now since moving from D'addario Chrome flats and wouldn't touch anything else now. For me they have the perfect balance of being pretty smooth and cut through really well. I play with quite an aggressive sound but don't use any overdrive. I have my bass set up so that when playing softly there is no fret rattle but when I dig in I get as much as I need depending on how hard or soft I play. I change my strings every 3-4 months

I had the Nexus 1x15" and 4x10" cabs and absolutely loved them. They were very capable cabs but I just wanted and needed something smaller and lighter or I would still have them

I originally bought these for the '75 reissue jazz bass that I am selling but found myself a pair of Geddy Lee pickups instead. Both pickups are in new, unused condition. The '75 reissue pickup is still in its sealed bag. I am looking for £50 each or £90 for the pair of them. Postage will be £5 for one or both

I've owned many of these. Like fretless basses I lust after them only to be disappointed. They're great pedals but I'm not really a pedal person. Made in Taiwan and in excellent condition. The label underneath has started peeling off, other than that it's all good. I don't have the original box but it will be boxed for postage. Looking for £100 or best offer and postage will be £6

Used very briefly in conjunction with the 75 reissue Jazz bass I am selling. This less than 1 month old Sansamp BDDI v2 with the mid control is now surplus to requirements. In as new condition with original unmarked tin, sticker & user guide thingy - Looking for £180 or best offer. Postage will be £6

I've decided that I'm a Musicman Sterling player and nothing else is going to do so I have a bunch of stuff I am going to be selling, starting with this '75 reissue Jazz Bass The eagle-eyed amongst will notice the B serial number which would place it at around 1986 but this is a typical Fender Japan anomaly. The bass was actually made in March 1999 as you can see from the neck and body stamps. It's a 1975 reissue so has the period correct 3 bolt neck plate, bullet truss rod at the headstock end and all maple block & bound neck. It also has the grounding plates underneath both pickups and in the control cavity. The scratchplate has factory drilled holes for the neck pickup cover and finger rest but the body itself has not been drilled. When I first got the bass, the pickups were faulty so I began searching for suitable replacements. I was fortunate enough to find a set of genuine Fender Geddy Lee Jazz bass pickups. One of the pots was a bit scratchy as well so I bought a replacement harness made with USA CTS pots, switchcraft jack and a paper in oil cap. This harness has small connector blocks that eliminate the need to solder anything making changing the pickups a breeze. Everything has been thoroughly cleaned so with the exception of the small dings that you'd expect with a 19 year old bass, it is in very clean condition. By this point you will be wondering about the sound - well I have been using this with a Sansamp Bass Driver DI v2 which I am also selling and it's classic Geddy Lee clank and growl. It does, of course, make the usual jazz bass noises plus growl (did I mention the growl?) It's currently fitted with D'addario EXL nickel wound strings and will come in a hard case to protect it during shipping. It's not the best fit but it will do the job. Looking for £850 or best offer. Postage will be £35 and I am happy for the buyer to collect or to meet up somewhere. I am having a clear out so not looking for any trades at present

After years of having cabs pointing at the back of my legs or overkill dual 4x10" setups to get the volume near ear level and hating my sound, not getting enough top end and being too loud on stage, despite not actually being able to hear myself clearly I went for the cab on a stick approach I have a Gallien Krueger amp as experience has told me that I always go back to them as it gives me the sound I want. The barefaced One10 is purely because it's loud, light and has a top hat mount to put it on a speaker stand. Overall I love the sound. I can be as loud as I need to be on stage, I can hear myself clearly, the bottom end rumble isn't overpowering everything and it all fits in a cajon bag

Jacob Collier Changing the rules of Music!!!
Delberthot replied to KingPrawn's topic in General Discussion
More or less what I thought - the bass was all over the place in terms of timing, note length and randomness - reminded me of one of those "shreds" videos. Maybe I'm not sophisticated enough for this type of music 🤔 -
This was exactly the reason that I sold my one. You have to have it so loud to get the GK growl that it's too loud - the 700RB was easy to get the growl from

Nickel-Like Steels or Steel-Like Nickels??
Delberthot replied to thisisswanbon's topic in Accessories and Misc
D'addario EXLs are the smoothest roundwound string that I've found - are you currently looking for 40-95 or is that what you are using? -
Music conservatory at ... 53 years old.
Delberthot replied to Hellzero's topic in General Discussion
I thought that this thread was going to be about setting up a music room in a conservatory. Still none the wiser 🤔 -
I've got a brand new combine harvester and was going to give Mark King the keys but I could be open to offers of 10 times what I paid for it. I've also got a lovely bunch of coconuts that I picked personally for Mark - don't know if he likes coconuts but I got them anyway - £100 each or £500 for the bunch

I once went out to buy the Robocop trilogy on DVD and ended up buying a new car -
Strings identification help - pictures updated
Delberthot replied to zvirus's topic in Repairs and Technical
I've seen Fender, La Bella, GHS and Overwater strings with black silks before but not just before they go around the tuner. I don't recall ever seeing D'addarios with black silks and you can't see the ball ends of theses in the picture - D'addarios usually have different colours for each string -
That's my favourite lineup as well - the only odd thing (yes just the one) I found about Yes when I saw them is: whereas most bands speed up their songs when they play live, Yes played them very slowly and deliberately to the point where they tended to drag. I like Drama as well and it took a while before I realised it was Trevor Horn on vocals - Tempus Fugit is my favourite song off that album

Line 6 G30 battery door just fell apart.
Delberthot replied to dave_bass5's topic in Accessories and Misc
Has the door maybe popped open inside your bag and been damaged in transit with something sitting against it? Mine lives attached to my strap by a plastic zip tie at the top and a strip of velcro that goes around the unit at the battery door section so it's always closed. Only time the velcro comes off is to change the batteries. If it's still active, maybe someone on the line6 forum could assist or has already done it? You're right though, there's been so many threads on many forums that someone is bound to have done it at some point -

No Sound From A String on bridge pickup
Delberthot replied to Delberthot's topic in Repairs and Technical
no such luck I'm afraid - brand new set of D'addario XLs were put on it. TBH I didn't think to make sure that the pickups were working before changing the strings. I've never had a faulty pickup before - faulty preamp but never a faulty pickup -
I like the blue one - shiny 🙂

I found this one the other day
-
£1600 eh? If I get on with the Jazz I've just bought then I can see me buying one of those depending on how this Fender pickup sounds. I'm guessing that this is a mock up based on the fact that the neck plate look to be the wrong shape, or the heel is or semething

It's an easy mistake to make - you're getting mixed up with the new Fender China Confucius bass 😀
