Where do you keep pulling all these absolute worldies from?! I had just got over my 55-01 gas and I still look at your 55-60 advert most days 😂

Lovely bass this - I got to play it the other day & it’s SO easy to play, the action is insanely low - you’ll not be disappointed

https://www.bassbuddha.com/product/bass-mods-nps-nate-phillips-5/ All the stats for it are in there 👆 19mm/34” Scale

Bloody hell you’re not joking about accumulating a ridiculous amount of pickups either are you?! 🤣 There’s a small fortune in them - I like those Nordy Fat Stacks, I was gonna get a Lakland 55-01 as a Mod project to stock something like those in but I never bothered, got me thinking again now…

EDIT: Weight = 9.2lbs - decently light for a Fender V like this. There’s some real boat anchors out there but this isn’t one ⚖️ For sale is my candy apple red 5 string MIM 2000 Fender Jazz Deluxe. This is one from the Suhr era and has the amazing pickups designed by John Suhr with the fat single pole pieces - these are pickups with a ridiculous amount of articulation & low end and are a favourite of gospel players from over the pond It was active, but has been converted to passive, I was going to stick the preamp back on it but it sounds huge anyway and I didn’t really want to change the sound at all - but it does come with the Suhr preamp, it’s a bit battered, but it works and a couple of new knobs and you’ll be good to go (these Suhr preamps are always praised for how musical they are) The original preamp is the 4 knob deluxe so it does have a redundant I pot on the side of the body, as well as the working one on the control plate, however if you out the preamp back on (or something else that would fit like the Sadowsky or East Retro Deluxe) then you can wire it up again - I was going to do this but the sound of this passive is so good I didn’t want to alter it, and really enjoyed playing a passive J Its been professionally setup up with a nice low action (but not too low - it slaps extremely well), it’s been well gigged and has loads of mojo and a few chips around the edges (I’ve tried to capture in pics) nothing major but it’s no case Queen. Also comes with 3 spare scratchplates other than the cream one that’s on it - white Pearl, mint green & tort Price includes U.K. shipping with a fender gig bag. This is a really nice Jazz bass, both how it plays and how it sounds but I have a 5 string MTD Saratoga Jazz as well as a Lakland 55-02 which both cover me For all the jazz bass tones I need, but I need a PJ (looking at the Sadowsky MetroExpress or Yamaha 1024/5) and can’t afford to buy them until I shift something. Its a slow market at the moment, so I am pricing this as competitively as I possibly can - I think it’s an absolute bargain. You’re welcome to try it out if you’re in the North East (or want to travel here) you will not be disappointed IMO £500 collected or £535 (inc shipping & Fender gigbag)

This is an unreal bass for £450!

Does it have passive tone control when preamp is bypassed? Cheers

You know what - about 20 mins after posting this I started going through a load of Northern Soul tunes I’m learning for Dep gigs (on my totally not a cliche sunburst P Bass with flats) and I flicked it to the tube only channel, drive to about 3.5 and thought ‘this actually sounds immense - what on earth extra do you want from it? If it said Noble on the box you’d be thinking it was tonal manna from heaven?!’ 🤣 I was playing through my Audio Technica studio headphones rather than a cab and I think I was way too fast to write it off! I’m gonna have to have a think!

Withdrawing this - gonna gig it this weekend and make a final decision then - but apologies! Laney Digbeth 2 channel preamp & DI. Clean FET Channel and Tube Emulation channel (with separate adjustable drive) with a switch to either run it as 1) Tube channel only 2) Mix of Tube & clean (adjustable volume for each to taste) or 3) FET Clean channel only - this means you can have a clean sound as your basic sound and then use the tube channel as a ‘boost’ or just turn it on for certain sections (it basically works in the way that everyone wishes the Aguilar ToneHammer pedal/AGS worked!). Also has 4 band EQ with switchable low mids (so 6 diff frequencies but you can only use one of the low mids at a time) Took this in trade and I’m actually very impressed, however I have a genuine tube DI already and I just took it on the off chance the overdriven sound was specifically what I am looking for at the mo, and its not really. I’ve got no issues keeping it as it’s an incredibly versatile little pedal, and the overdriven sound is very very usable, but its not what I need right now and I’ve got a list of gear I’m after running close to 5 figures, so if it’s not on my board right now it’s up for sale. £80 posted 1st class recorded/£75 collected Comes in original box with printed manual

You still got the DCX Bass mate?

I’d love this amp but this is exactly my position - I’ve ended up spending £500 on high end tube preamp/DI instead, and for the odd gig I get where I need an amp I’ve got I can’t justify it 😢 That rig above with the amp & the MB 4x10 must sound absolutely amazing 🤩

You really are in luck now! 😃

Ahh I can see the stacked knob if I zoom in! 😆 It’s very nice, these are 35” scales aren’t they?

Is this bass passive? Great playing btw in that Instagram clip - that band sounds like it’d be fun to play with!
