    Do we know what those two switches do yet? Are we thinking that they are the same series/parallel coil switches for each pickup as they original bass?
  2. ead
    Interesting and also tempting, but I do prefer the black ones.

    Not keen on green or blue basses for no particularly good reason; the honourable exception being seafoam green. Some headstocks that are unnecessarily distinctive. Jazz basses with the chrome bell plate but no scratchplate / pickguard.

    Volume blend stack plus a configurable filter tone control for each pickup.

    Sadly that had to go when I had a cash crisis a little while back. I still have both my ACG fretless basses though.

    Lovely instrument, my old bass this one.

    I want a new bass…. Going round in circles Probably the singular most dangerous phrase to post on a bass players forum

    Now sold elsewhere.

    I have just relieved Kevin of the burden of ownership of his YYZ pedal. Great transaction with hyper fast postage, immaculate packaging and extensive comms. One of the people that make this place a real pleasure to be a part of. Thanks again; deal in full confidence peeps.

    That Cort looks like a steal to me.

    The video review confirms that they are 70s spacing too.

    Do my eyes deceive me or do these Jet basses actually have that 70s spacing?
  14. ead
    By all accounts these are excellent and lightweight.

    I had a fretless RSD and found the preamp was the main issue as it was feisty to say the least. Ended up swapping it for a preloved John East J Retro preamp that I acquired on here for a little over £100. Not dead slient but very, very much better.

    Much prefer the headstock on these basses to the Sire and HB offerings. If they are of the same general quality they look like good platforms for a few modest upgrades. Do any of them offer a 70s pickup spacing?

    All fixed now. Many thanks again folks.

    Just acquired a couple of pedal from Stuart. Great transaction, excellent comms and the goods arrived exactly as described. Deal in confidence folks.

    Yes, dots on the side where the frets would be.

    Twp perfectly good reasons to buy a bass The neck pickup is actually a split coil and the bridge is a humbucker.
  21. ead
    The nut with is 42mm and the neck is definitely a 50s 'U' shaped neck. If you would like me to measure anything in particular please let me know what dimensions you are after and I'll do my best to get you information.

    On the day that I was born Elvis was #1 with It's Now or Never. Thirteen years later it was Slade with Merry Xmas Everybody. Weirdly (or not) the Slade tune is the song we will be playing at gigs this festive season.

    Thanks, that is spot on. It's done a good few gigs and records very nicely.

    Now sold peeps. I am making a determined effort to sell a couple of basses that are no longer getting the use that they deserve. A more modest offering here with a Japanese made Squier from 1993. Good little bass this that served me well but my Limelight Lee Sklar replica is now being used a lot and this bass needs a new loving owner. Cracking little P bass this with a a few upgrades. Firstly a Bareknuckle '58 Pickup and also a Kiogon loom. The knobs are also not original but are really lightweight aluminium items. The bass plays very nicely and has a few marks commensurate with its age. The neck has worn to a lovely silky finish now and is a pleasure to move about on. The bass is a very comfortable 8lbs 3oz, or 3.7kgs in modern money. Priced at £300 that I think is very fair considering the upgrades. I have the original pickup and loom too and these will come with the bass along with a gig bag. Here are a few pics. Black basses are a bit of a sod to photograph but I've done my best. Let me know if you want any more detail on anything, or indeed if you have any questions. Thanks for looking in.

    Now sold elsewhere. I am making a determined effort to sell a couple of basses that are no longer getting the use that they deserve. So to follow on the theme of slightly unusual basses here is a '54 replica Bitsa made by one of our own d_g. Lots of top quality parts were used in the build, the specs are as follows: · Allparts Fender Licensed Neck with hand-rolled fretboard edges with satin finish on the back - Fender Decal THIS IS NOT A FENDER BASS · 100% nitro black over sunburst finish with lots of lacquer checking · 3 Piece Lightweight Alder Body · Heavy Knurled Relic Knobs and Control Plate · Fender Bridge · Gotoh Relic Tuners and Strap Buttons · Graphtech nut · Lollar Hum Cancelling Pickup · Reliced vintage style flat head screws throughout It's a lovely bass weighing a little over 8 ½ lbs (3.9kg) and I'll be really sorry to see this go and might indeed have a change of heart. It will come with a decent quality gig bag. Collection is definitely preferred, but I will also be happy to meet halfway (within reason) for some fuel money. Last resort would be a courier. Here are a few pics from the original owner/builder. Let me know if you want any more detail on anything, or indeed if you have any questions. Thanks for looking in.
