  1. [quote name='BeeBop' timestamp='1500575819' post='3338866'] Nice bikes them Bianchi s ..think you'd need to put a few quid up if you were to trade .. Bass is no bad aswell .. GLWTS [/quote] I do love a Bianchi. Might cost me a few quid more, haha!
  2. [quote name='karlfer' timestamp='1500572868' post='3338827'] I had a Dusty Tribute and was ALWAYS mystified, that tuning the G string nowt happened. Them fun upside down tuners . Steve, THAT LOOKS FABULOUS It looks like one of my Oranges is going, so may well be having a chat if it's still here next week. Unlikely [/quote] Thanks Karl. If it is still here next week....
  3. [quote name='foxyFuze' timestamp='1500554913' post='3338664'] Don't suppose there are any soundclips, even basic ones? [/quote] Afraid I don't have any... let me see if I can hook something up tonight.
  4. [quote name='FHB' timestamp='1500565158' post='3338750'] P neck or J? [/quote] Its a jazz neck, thanks.
  5. Sorry to see this go, but a new baby equals bass sales so I'm freeing some of the flock. I am going to kick myself for this but here goes. My beautiful Sandberg California VM. Yeah, its the lovely previous series before the body and scratchplate change. As you can see in the pics it has 2 scratchplates, a black and a tortoiseshell so you can switch it up for whatever you fancy. When I bought the black one they told me that it was the very last scratchplate made in the old style so there will never be any more of these made. The previous owner swapped out the Sandberg tuners for lightweights, which has left screw holes in the back of the headstock. Normally that would put me off, but seeing as this is so beautifully aged it just adds to the look. Fully plek'd neck, plays like a dream, light as a feather. Almost identical to the original Ida Neilsen model. Maybe don't buy it actually, I'm regretting this already just typing the advert up.. Will come with a no-name gig bag. No trades unless you have a Bianchi Oltre XR4 55cm I'd prefer collection/handover as I don't trust shipping.
  6. If you still can't see them I can email you with pics
  7. Sorry to see this go, but a new baby equals bass sales so I'm freeing some of the flock. Limelight Precision I had made by Mark last year, very non-standard, a bit of a departure from his regular line. Features: Twin humbuckers Jazz profile neck Painted headstock Passive electronics Reverse headstock Beautifully aged Come with brand new Thomann hard case, never been used as I use a Mono Dual for all gigs. No trades unless you have a Bianchi Oltre XR4 55cm
  8. Sadowsky MV4 - £1500 (typed in the wrong price in the header and now it won't change it, definitely £1500) Sorry to see this go, but a new baby equals bass sales so I'm freeing some of the flock. Sadowsky MV4 with a stunning maple neck and fretboard. Immaculate black finish. Comes with a spare tortoiseshell scratchplate in case you don't fancy the black one. Come with Sadowsky semi-hard case. No trades unless you have a Bianchi Oltre XR4 55cm I'd prefer collection, I just don't trust the mail service anymore.
  9. This one above that I'm using weighs next to nothing and still has the tonal variety of the heavy monsters.
  10. [quote name='paul_5' timestamp='1499251494' post='3330248'] But that's the best bit! [/quote] haha!
  11. All built up and sounding huge. Sansamp runs direct into the Peavey IPR1600. The GK is a separate as a backup. All wired up to a tidy harness on the back to save fumbling around in the dark on stage.
  12. [quote name='nickireckless' timestamp='1499035996' post='3328786'] The JBS i bought from you is still kickin' ass. [/quote] Awesome. Its a killer bass!
  13. Here's my Warmoth Jazz whiteout

  15. [quote name='ivansc' timestamp='1493209321' post='3286500'] There's nowhere to put your thumb on a Ray.... Just sayin'.... [/quote]
  16. Although its not the bass he's most known for, I'm surprised fender haven't cashed in with a signature model yet...
  17. [quote name='NJE' timestamp='1393241365' post='2377603'] Its a tricky riff but slow it down with a metronome and you can get it fingerstyle without too much bother. I have just about got it, and get a reasonable facsimile of the bernard tone with the bridge pickup on my roscoe beck with the tone almost or fully off. I have had a few compliments that it sounds like the record. I tried doing it using bernards 'finger plectrum' technique and its very awkward and painful, to be honest unless your doing it for personal reasons to nail it 100% i doubt anyone at a gig would ever hear the difference. I cant find a video where Jerry Barnes the current chic bass player plays that riff at all, they re-arrange it live. Perhaps even Jerry cant do it justice. [/quote] He's pretty much got it down... https://www.instagram.com/p/BJ_EjWLhKjD/
  18. [quote name='Burrito' timestamp='1492689292' post='3282340'] I bought a set of cream covers on EBay for my Precision and simply fitted them over the pickup that I had and liked. I'd looked at DiMarzio but this seemed the easiest sensible option. It cost me just a few quid. [/quote] Good plan! It does seem the only way to get a white musicman pickup is to buy a cheapo off ebay and just use the cover.
  19. [quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1492686279' post='3282278'] Try Herrick pickups, I`m sure Martin will be able to sort something. [/quote] Lozz, have you used any of their pickups? Just asking as I've never heard of them before...
  20. They seem to do great jazz in cream but no humbuckers/soapbars/musicman pickups sadly.
  21. So I'm building a new bass. I'm looking for a jazz and a musicman pickup in white or cream. The jazz is easy enough as there's loads of replacement covers available, but does anyone know of a company who make great jazz and humbuckers in white or cream? Thx
