  1. For me probs either Starship Trooper or maybe Spirit of the Radio. Arthritis not helping me much though.
  2. This post cannot be displayed because it is in a forum which requires at least 1 post to view.
  3. I think I remember from somewhere that the MIJ ones are actually 60s positioned pickups.
  4. Very nice indeed. Is that the one from Will?
  5. It really pains me to have to put this up for sale, but increasing trouble with my hands means playing (in my case trying to play) a 5-string bass is increasing painful due to, the doc says, increasing arthritis in my fingers. I can manage a J-type neck and some P-type necks and I fully intend to keep managing as long as possible, but the wider fretboards I now really struggle with, and not just because of an absence of talent. This bass is the full monty. It has the Multi Coil pickups and the DFM filter preamp, a one piece body with a very subtle top wood. The scale is 34" and best of all it is very lightweight at only 3.9kgs (or 8lbs 10oz). The full spec is here: https://acguitars.co.uk/project/0446ukrell5-34/ Other points to note is that the bass has a rounded body edges rather than the beveled style featured on the Krell basses. Also, the cutaway to accommodate the forearm is the more usual style seen on many basses. Current ACG models mostly have a scalloped cutaway. Both of these features are my person preference. I would much prefer to meet and hand over the bass due to its value. I would be happy to either sell the bass outright or do some kind of part ex deal. Please PM me if you have anything that you think may interest me. But please note the comments above. The bass is strung with TI flats and comes with a superb soft-hardcase. Here are the pics, please let me know if you would like to see anything in more detail or indeed if you have any questions. Thanks for dropping by.
  6. A question that also troubled me. At least two retailers are still taking order so I have tried with Thomann on the basis that they may have good purchasing power. Quite annoying really as I bought the tuners in case there was a rush on them as well. Still I'm sure I'll find a good use for them.
  7. I am trying again via a well known German box shifter....
  8. Just received this eamil: Hello Many thanks for your recent order. Unfortunately the jazz bass has recently been discontinued and is not in stock with our supplier so we will not be able to supply this. Is there anything else that you may be interested in ? We do have the following in stock now : https://richtonemusic.co.uk/squier-classic-vibe-60s-jazz-bass-il-daphne-blue/ and this is due in mid to end April at Fender https://richtonemusic.co.uk/squier-classic-vibe-60s-jazz-bass-il-3-colour-sunburst/ Also , our sales team would be happy to make some suggestions based on your requirements. If this is not of interest to you then please let us know and we will refund you straight away and apologise for any inconvenience caused We look forward to hearing back from you.
  9. I bought the bass from RichTone (£399), but the seem to have disappeared from their product listings now. Maybe there are going to be fewer in circulation than I thought.
  10. Yea fingers crossed. HB7s with lollipops very much most of the upgrade plan. Not much else although depending on the sound, a KiOgon loom may be on the shopping list.
  11. Less than 5 million produced? I guess it's some kind of Squier FSR type affair.
  12. Most unusually for me I have pre-ordered one of these. Hopefully with a few mods will be a decent enough and gig-able substitute for the real thing. https://www.fender.com/en-GB/squier-electric-basses/jazz-bass/limited-edition-classic-vibe-mid-60s-jazz-bass/0374533505.html
  13. Just acquired a Line6 wireless system from Ron who is selling bumnote's gear following events last year. Seamless transaction with a very well packed item being delivered to me very rapidly. All good people.
