Body in mint condition apart from a few minor surafce marks to bottom and side edges and one small ding on the rear top contour as shown, otherwise like new. Replaced stock neck with Mexican Fender pau ferro, mint condition and lemon oiled for a lovely finish. Previously fitted with an active preamp and still has side mounted jack if wanted to upgrade. Strung with Picato flats, nice and worn in.

Prefer local collection (somehow) as out of boxes to send (at buyer's cost). Cheers!

Had this been 4 strings I’d have been on it. Did you swap the neck? To my knowledge they never made these available in natural with a rosewood neck (annoyingly). I did think about going down the route of buying two and swapping the necks over. 

I did indeed mate. I've also got the white blonde that came with this neck but prefer maple so switched them up.

Thanks but not into Warwicks 😀

2 channel blendable class D amp 1200W in VGC and perfect working order. Comes with footswitch and original packaging. Collection in person or shipping at buyer's expense.

The SHUTTLEMAX dual preamp design offers an FET preamp for articulate, precise, immediate tone and a 12AX7 tube channel which provides a wide range of gain structure that produces smooth, clean tube warmth or can be dialed all the way up to the critical mass of aggressive overdrive.

This STL-MAX12.2 delivers over 1200 watts of output from an amp that weights only 6.75 lbs. Dual Class D amp modules produce full output into two 4 ohm loads (one per amplifier output). Our proprietary 3DPM power management circuitry provides increased headroom and a thicker dimension to the individual notes. The full output of the ShuttleMAX 12.2 is perfect for any venue and playing style.

The SHUTTLEMAX 12.2 dual power amp design offers a variety of available power output choices:

One 8 ohm load (either Amp A or Amp B driven)...............375 Watts

Passive MM3 in natural/maple in good condition. OLP manufactured these licensed from Ernie Ball MM. Great Stingray banger with a good range of tones available, does the Stingray sound surprisingly well and nails it completely with the addition of an active preamp as many have done before. Prefer collection, will consider shipping at buyer's expense.

Second of my USA Deluxes to go. One of Fender's best 5 string jazzes, now discontinued. Absolute quality build and finish. This bass has been played - by me, original owner - and has a few knocks and dings to show for it as pictured. There's a small nick in the tip of the headstock (damn those venues with low ceilings) and the finish has come away in a small spot on the back of the guitar exposing the wood. Nothing to affect structure or playability though and gives it a bit of the old roadworn in a couple of places.

Amazing range of tones available from the N3 pickups and 18V preamp which is active/passive switchable. The neck plays wonderfully with rolled edges, B string is tight and action can go nice and low. Comes with original Fender ABS case + case candy.

Up for sale is my beloved Genz Benz rig, comprising the rare ShuttleMAX 12.2 head with matching 2x10 and 1x12 Focus cabs. The power and tone on this rig is awesome but I've converted to in ears so this is just sitting around and needs to be used. All components are in VGC and in full working order. Been gigged a fair bit but looked after in pet/smoke-free environment.

ShuttleMAX 12.2 class D 1200W head with dual FET and tube channels. Includes foot switch, original box and manual. Light scratching to top of head but otherwise in VGC. £550

Usual bits of scuffing to tolex and plastic corners but no rips on cabs.
Not prepared to ship the cabs so ollection from Cardiff or happy to meet within a reasonable radius.

**Would trade for decent 6 string jazz type bass**

Lovely bass. What's the string spacing at the bridge and does it do passive?

My band is supporting Pete Best's band in August at the 60th anniversary of the Casbah Club. Looking forward to meeting him, he is supposed to be a lovely guy. I'm not a Beatles fan in any way but looking forward to it.

Sounds great 😀

As this has been resurrected, I might as well say I actually quite like the Beatles now despite still having most of the same problems with em I had initially, especially Ringo's drumming.

Seen them twice over here and was a bit disappointed to be honest. The band was hot (hehe) of course, but the whole thing was on half speed and it's painful watching Don stretch his neck to reach for notes he can't get anywhere near these days. I'll save the ticket money and put it towards Nearly Dan next month, sound better than the real thing nowadays, great show.

I've got the tone just a tad back from wide open on my Jazz in passive mode, pickup blend at 50/50 and plucking over the neck pickup for fatness. Doing my best to isolate each note with judicious muting. Hope that helps.

Using a Harley Benton PowerPlant PowerBank to power an always-on Zoom B3 and a G30 receiver here. I can get at least 2x 2hr shows out of a single charge and they're so cheap I bought a spare just in case. Rock solid so far after many gigs.

The humble Zoom B3 can yield a few surprisingly decent 80s synth sounds if you mess around with it I've found. This is a patch I use for Whitney's I Wanna Dance With Somebody and anything else that sounds DX7-esque...

https://www.dropbox.com/s/n1topj3b3m42yw3/I Wanna Dance...B3 bass.mp3?dl=0

It's not the greatest for quick-ish runs as the demo shows towards the end, but the tracking is fine for the most part if you watch your technique and keep your lines steady. That patch could probably use a little octave but I'm maxed out at three slots on the B3...time to look at an MS-60B I think!

Get depping for other bands if you can. Opened up a whole new bunch of likeminded musos for me after being off the scene for a few years 👍

Hi mate. Is your proper name Cicero? Only asking as it's my surname and there ain't too many of us about in the UK (assuming you're from the UK like!)

Entry level stuff at Cardiff PMT?? They've had Fender Elites and Professionals not to mention Stingray 5s and a fair few decent Ibbys in there since day one. Did you just stick with the one wall there?? They'll order you anything in to try as well, so if like your Dream Theatre, ask em to get a Bongo in perhaps.

Also, if you like your Dean but the sound's crap, I'm thinking upgrade the electronics before you splash serious cash on another bass.

You seem to be painting yourself into a corner of your own making here!

Thanks mate. I bought it for all that good stuff but it's the lack of parameters on some fx compared to the B3 that's letting it down for me. I just can't dial in direct replacements I use in my sets
