The Fender is definitely a PJ455 btw. I took the neck off and both neck and body confirm this.

What, with playing and everything?

Until these last few months I had a long-standing mission to go to see 3 bands I've never hear of every year. That, and the 'what are you listening to now' section on here have provided some really interesting music. I stopped reading album reviews in my early twenties as very few seemed interested in the music I liked. I'm 59 now

Spector knobs, but not sure which category they belong in

Since moving my rather weighty BBP34 some months back I've been on the look out for a light passive PJ bass that could take it's place as a gigging bass for the covers band I play in (and hopefully will again soon). I'd had a go on a Lakland Skyline fairly recently but the weight of these seems to vary a fair bit and I was on the look out for one appearing in the FS section. Nothing was grabbing my attention until what might, or muight not have been, a Fender PJ455 appeared on ebay. I took a punt on it as is was an E series so like to be OK even if not one of the top fligh models. Wouldn't you know it, a 44-64 Custom PJ turns up on our FS section as the Fender was in transit. As the owner was happy to do a part trade I bought that one thinking I'd just flip the Fender. Long story short, they are both really nice basses and both c.8.5lbs. The Lakland has the J pickup in the 60s position and is pristine; the Fender has it in the 70s position and is roadworn. I've but a nice Gotoh bridge on the Fender as some groovier Spector knobs. The previous owner had already put some nicer knobs on the Lakland. Both sound really punchy but one needs to go so a real dilemma here. Any thoughts learned BCers? Mandatory pics to prove it happened:

Just completed a trade with John. What a nice bloke and he went well out of his way to meet up to effect the transaction. John is what makes this place work. Veritably a top banana.

Check Companies House for name and home addresses of all the directors. I wrote to the whole BT board when I was particularly grumpy, it had the desired effect

Hi folks For sale is my virtually new Fuel Tank Junior purchased just before lockdown, opened and looked at, plugged in maybe once to try out and then put back in its box. I have purchased a couple of DSP pedals over the shut down that need a couple of high current outputs, basically more juice than this one can supply. The foot print of these units is pretty small and they can be tucked away on, or under, most pedal boards. The measurements are: 105mm (W) x 35mm (H) x 78mm (D) These are c. £75 new plus P&P so grab yourself a bargain. £50 posted UK mainland please. Here is the link to the product page for the full spec.: https://www.t-rex-effects.com/fueltank-junior "Fuel Tank Junior is a lean, mean power supply that will handle virtually any 9-Volt effects pedal – and then some. It features 5 isolated outputs that deliver clean, quiet power to your pedals. And it’s switchable between 115 and 230V, so you can use it worldwide. Don’t let the compact size of this unit fool you – Fuel Tank Junior is a real powerhouse!" Here are the pics:

Well your breeder Sandra has most of the right letters in the right order so I feel this is permissable Plus who doesn't love a great dog story.

Appreciate views on potential purchase of Fender Mij 1984 to 1987 Jazz Bass
ead replied to a topic in Bass Guitars
The E series basses have a great rep. The two I have owned were both lovely basses. -
Yes, it's a cracker and all the best for having the sticker thing sorted out. Looks amazing now. -
Paddy has just acquired a pedal from me. Instant payment, great comms, in fact the Mary Poppins of transactions. Thanks very much.
-
Now sold. Thanks for the interest.
-
I've asked for a few bits too. Nothing yet, but I'd like to know what has been going on!

That's the one, cheers @Reggaebass

Spector Legend 4 – Very good condition I bought this bass not too long ago as it was the exact same model as my first proper bass and hoped that it would be a suitable proxy. It turns out that I still want my actual bass back despite this being in much better condition, so after much soul-searching and inner contemplation I have decided to sell this bass. This is a bass from the original Korean-made Legend Series manufactured in 2004-05, this version is no longer being made. The bass is in excellent condition, very little marking to be seen. The neck is particularly delightful with a lovely satin finish. Weight is a very manageable at a fraction over 9lbs. The bass comes with a good quality gig bag. £395 collected. Collection is preferred due to the quality and value of the bass. If you are not too far away I’d rather deliver the bass to you in exchange for some petrol money than send by courier. Or happy to meet up somewhere too. Courier would be the last resort and would be at your cost. Trade options would be a nice P bass cash either way, but please feel free to throw ideas my way too Please believe me when I say that these are fantastic basses and this is a very reluctant sale. The specs are as follows: Neck · Bolt on 3pc Maple neck with a Rosewood board 34” scale length, with 24frets · Width at nut: 1.64" Body · Our original NS curved and carved Maple body with figured maple top · Black cherry finish Hardware · Gold · Bridge: Spector locking high-mass bridge, with intonation screws · String spacing at bridge: 0.75" (19mm) Pickups and electronics · Neck pickup: EMG HZ P · Bridge pickup: EMG HZ J · Preamp: EMG B30 with 3-band EQ · Controls: Bridge pickup volume, neck pickup volume, mid boost/cut and stacked treble and bass boost/cut If you have any questions at all, or require additional pictures of any details please ask away and I give as comprehensive an answer as I am able.
