  1. Oops. Operator error.
  2. Hi folks Due to my ongoing arthritis issues that seem to not be improving, possibly getting a bit worse, the most reluctant sale of them all. This is a beautiful and flexible bass. This is the ACG version of the classic Jazz bass, the pickups are pretty much in the 70s position. Don't be fooled by the modest wood choice and appearance, this is a cracking Jazz bass that was produced in 2024. The bass has passive electronics with volume, Stellartone ToneStyler B10, and a 4-way coil switch, so now you have the following options on top of the volume and tone knobs: Bridge p/up only; both p/ups in parallel; both p/ups in series (particularly awesome); neck p/up only. The bass weighs in at 3.6kgs (or 8lbs in old money) so very easy to use for long gigs. It’s in great condition and will come with a good quality gig bag. Meet up of collection as I don't have any more boxes left. Work does take me around a bit so don't be afraid to ask if you're a bit further away. £900 or very near offer - it's worth every penny of that imho! I'll leave it up here for a few days but if there's no interest I'll sort out a commission sale. Spec: · Scale: 34” · Body: Black Limba with oil finish · Neck woods: 3-piece Maple with oil finish, carbon rods and asymmetric profile · Fingerboard: Rosewood · Radius: Flat · Side dots: White (might be aluminium but can't remember) · Bridge: Hipshot Type B black · Tuning machines: Hipshot Ultralites black · Pickups: 2 x ACG FB single coil (humbucking J type) · Electronics: Passive plus – Volume, ToneStyler 10 and 4-position pickup switch Here are some pics:
  3. These Graft basses are so good both aesthetically and from a playing POV. Most distressingly I am probably going to have to find a new home for mine pretty soon as my fingers are getting no better.
  4. Obvs not a real band then To be fair my band/our band is the same. All very grown up, mind you we are in our late 50's early 60s for the most part so can't really be arsed to argue. Most debate is about who's turn it is to bring the beer.
  5. Nice bass this, I was fortunate to have a noodle on it at a recent bass bash.

    And two and a half years later I've just completed a trade. Super nice fellow.
  7. Hi folks Another lovely bass sadly having to go. This is a great active modern J bass with some stand-out features. The bass has a zero fret (like Sandbergs), a bone nut, 24-fert neck with deep cut away in body for easy access and a very nice "heelless" joint for even better access, a tilted back headstock and noiseless pickups. The bass is in excellent condition and comes with the original high-quality Cort gig bag. I have also added some soft-touch control knobs with tell tales as the original fit items are fine but you can't tell at a glance where the settings are. The controls are: Volume (pull for preamp bypass) Blend Treble Mids (pull for mid frequency shift) Bass The full spec is here: Specifications · Code: NJS-4 WHT · Body: Alder · Construction: Bolt-On · Neck: Hard Maple 3pcs · Fretboard: Hard Maple · Radius: 12" (305mm) · Frets: 24 w/ Zero Fret · Scale: 34" (864mm) · Inlay: White Pearloid Block · Tuners: Hipshot Ultralite · Bridge: MetalCraft M4 · Pickups: Cort Voiced Tone VTB-ST · Electronics: Bartolini® Elrick NJS Special Preamp · Hardware: Chrome · Strings: D'Addario EXL165 · Special: Bone Nut Pickups The new Voiced Tone VTB-ST single-coil pickups perfectly complement the big robust sound of the bass with modern clarity, transparency and vintage warmth while eliminating noise with its hum-cancelling design. VTB-ST Specification · Magnet: Ceramic 8 Bar · Coil: AWG43 · Turns: 5,200 / 4,800 · Resistance: 6.5k ohm · Inductance: 3.9H Description · Character of the legendary J-style pickup with total elimination of the noise · Ferrite Ceramic 8 magnet provides the legendary clear and transparent J-style sound · AWG43 insulation, classic and time-proven materials and winding methods · Different amount of turns on first/second strings and on third/fourth/(fifth) strings for specific emphasis on high-end and low-end sonic character of the bass £550 OVNO please. Collection or meet up preferred, but may be able to post if I can find a box. Here are some pics.

  8. Saw Nena (99 Red Balloons) in Manchester on Sunday 12 Oct. Very good, first time in the UK for about 15 years.
  9. One of our own plays bass for Cloudbusting. Really good. Off to see Nena in Manchester on Sunday and then next week Glenn Hughes also in Manchester.
  10. SOLD ELSEWHERE From the spares drawer and bought for one of my ACGs but no longer required as sadly having to sell stuff (arthritis). It is brand new and unopened (£125 + P&P from Bass Direct) so save yourself a few squids. £79 inc. P&P to UK mainland please.
  11. I live in Chorley so more than happy to help if I can.
  12. Pardon my ignorance, but who is HW?
