  1. Origin / Jad Freer / Broughton / Sushi Box all make preamp pedals that address this, it’s probably the least expensive way to get a bit of vintage voicing into your signal chain. Genzler’s Nu Classic cabs are also voiced to sound more like older cabs, I haven’t tried these but if they’re anything like the rest of their product line I’m sure they will be amazing.
  2. Thanks for the heads up about the body, I've edited the post.
  3. Thanks, yeah it is a nice one! It could well be ash, I wasn’t sure and never gave it much thought, the info is just based on a similar one on reverb which mentioned basswood but now you mention it, that grain does look more like ash.
  4. Yeah, they sound super good too! I guess the price is where it should be, I'm just trying not to think about it to avoid temptation.. If I didn't already have a Broughton Fliptop I'd definitely be looking at the Capo, such a nice range of tones in that pedal. The Broughton is probably less versatile but it takes care of the B15 thing for me (for now).
  5. *sold elsewhere Putting this (and another Fender jazz) up for sale, bit reluctant but I seem to be playing only short scales these days. MIJ Walnut Fender Jazz Bass, I believe these were a special run made by Fender Japan. The serial no. dates this one to 2014. Rosewood board, passive, medium jumbo frets, maple neck, ash body, '62 walnut styling, plays really well and sounds like a jazz bass should! Set up was done by the Bass Gallery, it's solid so I haven't needed to touch it since then. Truss rod is fine, frets are fine but could use a polish, current action is just under 2mm at 12th fret on the E, which is where I like it but it will go lower than that if you need it to. I'm afraid I don't know the exact weight but it's on the lighter side for a jazz, and considerably lighter than my USA Jazz Dlx. Strung with some very old and very dead NYXL rounds. Scratch on the lower bout, pictured. This came without a bag or case, so I would prefer collection or meet-up in or around London but may be able to figure out postage. If you need further info / pics let me know. I work very close to North Greenwich tube, if you're nearby you're welcome to come and try it.
  6. Yeah that Sisma amp and their cabs look killer, I'm too scared to look at the price..
  7. Bit late to respond to this, but I find pedals like the Broughton Fliptop or the SVPre really useful, both for practice and gigs. The Origin Effects and Jad Freer stuff is probably even better, although haven't had a chance to try those yet.
  8. Thanks! Yeah, appreciate it's not everyone's (anyone's?) cup of tea
  9. Hi everyone, a quick hello from me as I've just created a new account. I'm Dave, based in SE London, I play jazz, I like short scales with dead strings, pedals that that make new amps sound old, and cabs that weigh as little as possible..
