    Your budget should easily cover a second-hand Barefaced Compact (generation 1 or 2). There have been quite a few for sale on here recently...
  2. Conan
    That's gorgeous! What a bargain
  3. Conan
    Aye - not bad
  4. Conan
    Now sold locally. Thanks for the interest
  5. Conan
    Bloody hell! That's pretty loud then!

    A second-hand Barefaced 410? I've certainly seen at least on in the marketplace... Whether it would come in on budget or not though? Is it the cab that is limiting your volume or the amp itself? Is it only 100 watts?
  7. Conan
    Me neither. I'm in the market for another J, but I'm not buying one without at least seeing pics of it!
  8. Conan
    You've seen my band Blue? There are five of us though. But one is so boring that he is sometimes invisible.
  9. Conan
    On hold for a day or two (while potential buyer sorts out finances...).
  10. Conan
    I guessed as much. One day, one of these will come up that I can get my grubby paws on!! GLWTS
  11. Conan
    I can't see the pics...
  12. Conan
    I take it you have no interest in trades?
  13. Conan
    Some trade interest, but still here for the moment...
  14. Conan
    If this bass sounds and plays half as good as it looks, someone is going to get a real bargain! Very tempted myself if my T-bird sells!

    Some more photos, in which i have tried to show the (small) dints and marks... I took a lot of pics, but the marks were not keen to reveal themselves!

    Gorgeous bass - excellent price
  17. Conan
    Comments welcome on pricing. I think this is a fair price looking at what these tend to go for... Also, just for clarity, I want to make it clear that I really like this bass! If I was more of a collector I'd be more than happy to keep it as it is a beautiful example of a classic , iconic bass. I just don't think I'll be using it much with my current band and would rather use it to fund a different instrument that I would actually use! There are no problems at all with the instrument itself... I have extensive, positive feedback, so you can buy with confidence. Trade offers welcome, although my preference would still be for a cash sale. However, I realise that cash is not always easy to come by in the run-up to Christmas!

    There have been a number of threads on this subject - for example From personal experience, I love EMGs and the "hot" pickup from GFS is great for the money - http://www.guitarfetish.com/GFS-Pro-Series-HOT-P-Bass-Pickup-Pickup-OUR-BEST-_p_10978.html

    http://www.emgpickups.com/bass/j-models/active/jset.html#info Hmmm... it seems I may have been incorrect in assuming that the pickups were passive...
  21. Conan
    Good point! I've never yet found a P that I enjoy playing as much as a J. My search continues though...
  22. Conan
    They both sound fine to me! The strings do make a massive difference to the tone though, so it's not really a fair test.
  23. Conan
    Maybe I'm over-simplifying things here (apologies if I am) but is output so important? If you like the tone of the Dirnt P, just turn the amp up a bit for that bass. A "hot" pickup is not necessarily a good pickup...
  24. Conan
    The seller was correct (although EMG do make some active pickups as well, but it's most likely that you have a J-set and they are passive with a preamp). Also bear in mind that Fender have notoriously variable quality control! Some instruments are just better put together from better parts than others, and no amount of modding will make a bad one as good as a good one. It's frustrating, but maybe try and borrow another P bass from someone (or try some in a shop). It may just be this particular P that has this particular problem. From a personal point of view, I have always found P basses more variable than Jazzes.

    Wow! It looks like boiling toffee... Gorgeous
