  1. Sold elsewhere Hi folks, back up for sale is my Yamaha Attitude Special; originally Surf Green refinished in Lava Red. I am genuinely in two minds about this so I may withdraw this at any moment as I did earlier in the year. However it really isn't getting the use it deserves and I would love it to go to someone who will use it. I am the second owner of this bass from new. The original owner bought it new, originally Sea Foam Green, and had it re-finished in a colour close to Lave Red which was one of the options for the full-fat Attitudes. It was not a pro job and with the various scuffs acquired over the years, the original finish does show through in a couple of places. The bass itself still plays and sounds great and has original hardware and electronics except the for the strap lock buttons. The bass will come with a gig bag. The neck is fairly slim with a 40mm nut, slightly bigger than a vintage style Jazz Bass but not as big as a traditional P. It's very slick in the hands; the finish on the back of the 12" radius neck is nicely worn in and very easy to get around on. The fret condition is fine with only light wear. The neck is straight and the truss rod works fine. The body is light and lively but still well balanced against the neck. The pickup combo and electronics is fairly unique: You get a standard P pickup with its own volume knob but no tone knob, as well as the signature big passive humbucker in the neck. This has a separate volume and a tone control. Basically, you can start off with a juicy, growling P-style tone, then use the neck pickup to dial in a whole world of extra fatness and low-end heft. There is a sticker on the bass that Mr Sheehan had on his bass that I also believe is no longer available. The specs are: · Alder body · Split single coil and passive humbucker. · Maple, 1-piece Neck 34" scale, 12" radius · Finish - Lava Red (was Surf Green) · Body - Alder body · Fretboard - Maple · Weight - 4.0kg (8.75lbs) · Nut width - 40mm · Pickups & electronics – All original Looking at recent sales, the relative scarcity of these basses and bearing in mind the re-fin, I think that the current asking price is fair. In order that you can see and hear what you're buying I would much prefer collection or to meet up and hand over in person if at all possible, but shipping may be an option and would be for you to organise.
  2. I prefer the ZeroMod option as less in your face for me, YMMV obs. So, in the son titles theme, "Always Thumb Fin There To Remind Me"
  3. I can't seem to see the vids on this (and other threads). Any clues anyone?
  4. Are not most NBDs totally unnecessary? I know the majority of mine certainly are

    Peak Wal?

    I've played a couple of Wal basses and, tbh, I didn't really get on with them. I'm speaking here as an ACG bass owner with the multi-coil pickups and filter preamp so I was expecting to feel right at home. Couldn't put my finger on why, but there you go.

  10. I should be ok for 18th May.
  11. Harsh but fair. Might bring more than one, but please, tour rules apply.
  12. Also interested. Will need to check the date with She Who Must Be Feared and Obeyed.
  13. Folks might also wish to consider the Sterling by Musicman Pete Wentz Signature Bass. Same passive Stingray type bass but a lot cheaper. I picked one up preloved for a chunk less than the JD by Sterling or whatever it's called. OK, mine is black not natural, but it does have a roasted maple neck and nicer knobs if we are being picky. I think the controls are better placed than on this new bass too. That being said I do love the look of the JD by stealth bass.

    waveydavy Feedback

    Just acquired a bridge from Dave. It arrived super quickly and packaged to withstand a nuclear strike. Top bloke; one of the best on here. Thanks again.
  15. I've put a sticker or two on pickguards; all pretty tame really.
  16. This is my old bass. The sratchplate was custom made by Jack's Instrument Services in Manchester IIRC.
  17. Back at £225 now. Looks like someone thought it was something else from that stable.
  18. I think there are quite a few knocking about that I remember seeing but I'm not sure of the full background to the body shape. There maybe something on the ACG thread. Just checked back. The SLG was launched in 2020.
  19. This landed two weeks ago and due to a bout of ill health I'm just getting around to this post. My humble apologies bass brethren, I throw myself to the mercy of the court. p.s. It's a cracker. Rather than re-post Alan's pics please see the web page here: https://acguitars.co.uk/project/0500slg4-32/ I did manage one pic at ead towers though:

  21. I have a selection of three very different Js to are welcome to come and try. I seem to recall we are not too far apart. I'm afraid I can't help with the others, but I do have an ACG that would, I'm sure, hit your spot.
