    For the first time in a long time there's absolutely nothing that I want or need. It's a really strange feeling

    There is a member on the forum who has my old Goth T-bird. If I hadn't bought the Precision then I'd still be gigging with it. I moved the front strap button to the front of the heel of the neck, used a neoprene strap and the bass actually pointed upwards as a result. I also fitted EMG HZ pickups just for the hell of it and stick on LEDs so I could see on a dark stage. It also had a Hipshot Supertone bridge as the original stilty things aren't very good IMO. Regardless of what anyone says it dramatically improved the sustain a lot. Originally strung with Rotoflats I used it for everything from Weddings, rock band stuff to a Beatles tribute act. Very clear sounding, easy to play plus the Goth T-birds have jazz bass width necks

    As soon as I saw this bass I had to have it. One of my favourite colour/wood combinations and not a single piece of tort in sight This is a 2007 built Mex Jazz bass in olympic white with rosewood fretboard. I would describe the condition as good for its age. There are a few dinks here and there ( none of which were caused by me if you've seen my thread on this subject ) The bass has been set up and is ready to play. I did realise as I was taking the pictures that I hadn't set the intonation, whoops. I have changed the bridge from the original to a Wilkinson one with brass saddles as a couple of the screws were slightly rusty but nothing out of the ordinary - I simply hate anything looking dirty or worn inthe slightest. I have also polished the frets and given the fretboard a good clean with lemon oil. I also have a Hipshot D-tuner fitted as about a third of the songs I play with my band require a low D. Sound is typical Jazz and I have it fitted with a set of roto flats as I haven't used rounds in about 5 years. The silk has come off at the headstock end but they've still got years of life left in them. I gave them a good wipe with an Ernie Ball cleaning wipe prior to fitting them. I am looking for around £360 which includes the fitted Wilkinson and original bridge, the D-tuner plus original tuner with bushing and screws, the roto flats and the fitted hard case complete with keys which is virtually brand new. Collection or postage welcome. I expect it to cost around £12 to post within the UK mainland and can get quotes for anywhere further afield. And now, lots of pictures: [url="http://s927.photobucket.com/user/Delberthot/media/Mex%20Jazz%20Olympic%20White/DSC02636_zpsb9406125.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s927.photobucket.com/user/Delberthot/media/Mex%20Jazz%20Olympic%20White/DSC02638_zps98eef8fc.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s927.photobucket.com/user/Delberthot/media/Mex%20Jazz%20Olympic%20White/DSC02635_zps273ea831.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s927.photobucket.com/user/Delberthot/media/Mex%20Jazz%20Olympic%20White/DSC02640_zpsde7a9bcc.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s927.photobucket.com/user/Delberthot/media/Mex%20Jazz%20Olympic%20White/DSC02632_zpsb3d3d3c8.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s927.photobucket.com/user/Delberthot/media/Mex%20Jazz%20Olympic%20White/DSC02631_zpsb185b406.jpg.html"][/url]

    I thought I'd give this one time before I posted a review. I have used this cab with the same bass (Fender FSR Precision Special Deluxe Immaculate Conception EMGs etc) but with 3 different amps. The first was with my most trusted of brands, a Gallien Krueger 1001RB II. Sounded a bit meh compared the the punchy goodnes that I am used to with GK The second was with an Ampeg PF500 which sounded quite dirty in the right environment but downright muddy in the wrong one. Plus it cut out on the second last song at a marquee gig where I was providing all the bass with no PA support cos it overheated. The third is my idea of the holy trinity, not that at I am a religious man. I currently have a Hartke LH1000 and am running it in bridge mode which is 750w at 8ohms. Last week I played another marquee gig in similar circumstances to the Ampeg and I had the volume on 5. The speakers didn't look like they were moving at all and I could have gone a lot louder. This cab will put out what you put into it. If you put a big dirty Ampeg into it then big dirty Ampeg is what you will get but use the right amp, in my case the LH1000, then it will go silly loud. Before that gig I was ready to buy an SFX Thumpinator to rid myself of all the volume robbing ultra low frequencies but after that gig, I no longer need one. I've just realised that this review has no structure so I will go back to the start and tell you this: This cab is made of marine grade plywood, weighs 27kgs and has 4 Celestion Neos. This gives you something that is more solid than the usual MDF or chipboard mass produced cabs, is 10kgs lighter than an Ashdown 4x10" - don't get me started on Peavey or Ampeg and still sounds clear as a bell. I was going to get a second one but I simply don't need one - in fact I played a gig a couple of weeks ago in a small pub where my cab was right against the back and side walls of the venue. It was so loud that not only did I end up with plaster dust on top of the amp from the ceiling but every note I played, it felt like my brain was vibrating. I will add more as I play

    It would have to be a fender bass V. Completely impractical it may be for what I'm doing now. That or (and?) A maple fretless jazz bass
  8. Delberthot
    always always wanted one of these - c'mon Euromillions

    [quote name='martthebass' timestamp='1380128534' post='2221274'] Bought one of these myself a few weeks back and really surprised how much you can get for a few hundred notes with these VMs. Bound and blocks at this price? insane! [/quote] Indeed I've actually had quite a few people wanting to swap their maple with black blocks necks for the neck on this one. Something to think about if you want a Geddy Lee look alike for much cheapness. I could either point you in their direction or I could swap the neck for you before posting.
  11. Delberthot
    It looks like the buyer for my Bright Box is still out there but just incapacitated at present so if he comes forward with the reddies then I'll be withdrawing this, adding a Hipshot D-tuner and gigging it

    Look again. US standard jazz in black with rosewood fretboard £869 US special in black with maple fretboard is £774

    My first proper gig when I was 17 was with a big band. I could only manage the basics when I joined but just stood in the livingroom at home and went over all the charts again and again until I got it close. I did cheat as I have a very good memory so as soon as I had played the number with the band I could then use a mixture of reading and memory to make sure it would be correct the next time. It is very important to try and follow the parts rather than learn by ear as a lot of the time the bass does not always play what you would think would be the obvious notes - mainly due to a lot of these parts being written by brass players. I stayed with them for 18 months and learnt a hell of a lot that set me up for the years to come. Carribean Clipper was always my favourite, cracking number and cracking bassline
  14. Delberthot
    £378 for a Mexican Precision body & neck or the whole bass brand new for £483 from Soundslive. Same goes for the US one - £738 for a US body & neck, £869 for the whole thing.

    I've happily gigged with 15"s but I always felt that I was pushing a single one too much so that is why I generally used two, or a 2x15". As for adding another cab for the high end, I never felt the need for a big cab with 10"s or whatever but, and this may sound like I'm trying to sell you something that I actually am selling, the Bright Box that Trace Elliot made is IMO is just the ticket. [URL=http://s927.photobucket.com/user/Delberthot/media/DSC06271Large_zps8faf8bb4.jpg.html][IMG]http://i927.photobucket.com/albums/ad111/Delberthot/DSC06271Large_zps8faf8bb4.jpg[/IMG][/URL] That was a big, bassy cab with hee haw top end - I used the bright box to get the high end. I also used one with the V-type 4x12" and 2x15" cabs which were big sealed cabs [URL=http://s927.photobucket.com/user/Delberthot/media/Trace%20Elliot%201528/DSC06733Medium.jpg.html][IMG]http://i927.photobucket.com/albums/ad111/Delberthot/Trace%20Elliot%201528/DSC06733Medium.jpg[/IMG][/URL]
  16. Delberthot
    Yeah, I remember that - it was either a Squier VM fretless Jazz, a Gallien Krueger amp or a Crate 4x10".
  17. Delberthot
    Hmm This neck on the Squier VM 77 Jazz I'm selling would give me an instant Geddy Lee look for a fraction of the price

Its such a stunning bass and if it wasn't for a hefty dental bill then it would be staying right here. If my Trace bright box sells first then I will be withdrawing this. My pics don't do it justice - here's a pic I nicked off the web: [URL=http://s927.photobucket.com/user/Delberthot/media/75482_l_zpsd74f91cb.jpg.html][IMG]http://i927.photobucket.com/albums/ad111/Delberthot/75482_l_zpsd74f91cb.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

    For years I gigged my third bass, a 1999 Musicman Stingray 5 string bought from a real shop. Then I discovered Talkbs in 2006 and Basschat in 2007. I think I'm on basses 85, 88, 91 and 92 at present. I've owned nearly every model of cab that Trace Elliot ever made, probably about 20-30 4x10"s, 2x15"s, 4x12"s, 1x15"s, 2x10"s, 4x5"s, maybe 30 amps. However, I've used the same Brooklyn Gear strap with every single one of them
  21. Delberthot
    Cool Quite a bit of interest already. If I could justify keeping it I would. Its a cracking looking bass. I've had some trade offers of pedals but I've just sold off all of my pedals as I don't need them with the new band I'm in. I'm also sorted for amps and cabs as well.
  22. Delberthot
    I have a fully functioning Trace Bright box in very good condition for sale. It had sold on Ebay but the buyer seems to have done a Ronnie Biggs and I can't get a hold of him. Its rated 200w @ 8ohms but it doesn't matter as this can be used even if you are running your amp at its lowest impedence due to things and such like inside, crossover and gubbins. It comes in really handy if you like a lot of top end sparkle and your cab doesn't give you that plus I prefer the sound of the 4 5" drivers to a horn. Anyhoo, I'm looking for £150 ono, postage will be £10 [url="http://s927.photobucket.com/user/Delberthot/media/DSCF0570_zps3658bc79.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s927.photobucket.com/user/Delberthot/media/DSCF0571_zps8bb46001.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s927.photobucket.com/user/Delberthot/media/DSCF0573_zps512c2a0c.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s927.photobucket.com/user/Delberthot/media/DSCF0575_zpsbbff08de.jpg.html"][/url]

    I only recently picked this bass up but I got myself a MIM Jazz locally for a good price so I now need to sell this. It's a black Vintage modified Jazz in black with the maple neck with white pearloid inlays and white binding. It was made in 2010 so has the Duncan Designed pickups rather than the newer Fender designed ones. I've never tried the newer ones so can't comment on if it sounds different or not. Its in really, really good condition but I won't describe it as mint - I keep picking it up to see if I can find any marks but I can't yet see any, the only reason I wouldn't describe it as mint is just in case there's something hiding that I haven't seen. There is some surface oxidation on a couple of the pickup poles, if I have the chance before it sells I'll remove them and give a light wipe over with some steel wool (covers off obviously so that they don't get scratched) I can post this for £15 and I will supply a Fender gig bag to protect it on its journey which will be inside a cardboard box that I have ready to post it in. The bag isn't included as part of the sale as the front accessory pocket zip is burst. the main zip that holds it in is working. Not really sure how to price this so I'll start at £200 ono.

    Did you buy it from new? Trace did have 200w 10" speakers in cabs like the special 4x10" that I think was designed to go with the V-type stuff - Thornybank had one Possible that its been changed before you bought it?
