Hey peeps, I'm afraid I'm out. SWMBO gleefully informed me that we are having a long weekend in Iceland, whcih tbh I have been wanting to do for a bit. So sorry to miss friends this year but hopefully see you all at the next one. Please do lots of pics.

For sale is this MM style 4-conductor pickup that came out of a DiMavery MM-501 bass. Not sure who makes them but I think it's a ceramic magnet. It sounded fine in the bass but I wanted to put an AlNiCo pickup in the bass. £20 posted to UK mainland. Here are the pics: -
It would be great to see @lee650 as I've not seen him for what feels like an age.

That's currently the plan Rob.

I'll do my best for this one but it's our wedding anniversary so I'll need a pass out.

The configuration certainly works well on my Lee Sklar copy.

Also a Squier stacked knob Jazz.

A product to cure arthritis in my hands (and the hands of others).

Now sold elsewhere F/S are a set of neck and bridge pickups for Rickenbacker style basses. These are the single coil with static impedance of 8.2k Ohms (neck) and 8.4k Ohms (bridge). Bought in anticipation of a project that never happened. As you can see they are unopened but I have added in the pics from the Retrovibe website for clarity and a link to the relevant pages. These are just shy of £120 inc. P&P from Retrovibe, so offered at a very reasonable £90 inc. P&P to UK mainland by Royal Mail Special Delivery. -
I think @Mrbigstuff makes an excellent recommendation. I have a Jet P bass that I have upgraded with a decend loom and AlNiCo pickups for a more vintage tone and it records beautifully. Basically any P-type bass should suit you needs perfectly.

Best I've got is my old Greco EB3 in the back yard.

Pino on a budget - Fretless Stingray style bass - *SOLD*

I was genuinely surprised by the core quality/value for money of the DiMavery bass tbh. -
What is this "justification" of which you speak?

Now for sale on here.

NOW SOLD ELSEWHERE I did this as a fun project, but sadly about 2 yrs too late as my arthritis is not so good now, and whilst I can just about wrestle a tune out of a bass, it isn't getting any easier. The specs are as follows: The doner bass is a DiMavery MM501 - surprisingly good tbh! The bass has a Basswood body, maple neck with a lovely satin finish and nice Rosewood board. This has bee upgraded with a Retrovibe Stinger preamp and Retrovibe MM pickup which required a bit of widening of the control cavity, also some LaBella LT flats. Finally, I spray painted the pickguard black - not a great job but looks fine from about 2 metres or more away. If you have any questions please ask away. I have packaging and can post the bass, and will go 50/50 with you on the cost if postage is your preference. Also happy to meet up somewhere mutually convenient of it's not too far away.
