Hazy Bass

... oh and they can do different colours too ... ☺

I just ordered a P/J set for my custom built jaguar-style bass (32" scale).
I've ordered a set from Hotrod pickups in Sussex (ex-Wizard pickups).

I've gone for a vintage trad P pickup with a similarly vintage J64 jazz.

As it's a shorter scale bass I have to fit the slightly smaller neck pickup in the bridge position, so after discussion with Dave at Hotrod I'm having it slightly overwound to compensate for the lower output of the usual neck pickup ... won't be getting them till next week, but I'll let you know how they sound!

So far my experience of Hotrod has been very good ... hand wound pickups, customised to order, very knowledgeable and helpful, very reasonable prices and they're a local company too!

Scott bought a pedal from me just before Xmas and had to wait 2 weeks for Royal Mail to deliver. Very patient! Top bloke & excellent communication. Cheers Scott.

Sold, pending ...

MXR El Grande bass fuzz pedal - for sale, no trades. £30 inc UK delivery.

This is not a subtle effect .... it's LOUD and fuzzy, in an MXR box ... not much more to say really ...

Not ure how old it is - I picked it up from this forum a while back & have been using it happily, but just ordered a Red Witch Factotum for xmas , so this is surplus to requirements. All seems to be working fine, only slight issue is it only has one of the screws holding the base plate on (that was how I received it). That seems to be all it needs, but I'll see if I can dig up any spares. Currently velcroed for my pedal board & not sure if I have, or if it ever had, any feet ... will rummage around & see if I can find any ...

Will post pics as soon as I get a chance ... cheers!

If only it was the fretless ....

Just bought a wonderful custom bass from Benedict ... fabulous instrument and a very smooth transaction, despite being at opposite ends of the country! Cheers :-)

Just bought a fabulous bass from Benedict. Despite being at opposite ends of the country it turned out to be a very straightforward transaction. Very happy! :-)

That would go so well with my G&L jazz ... must be just about the same colour! Sorely tempted ...

Whereabouts are you?

Really love the sound of this (and the looks!). Very tempted, but not in a position to do anything about it just at the moment. Hopefully will be able to before long. In the meantime have a bump on me for good luck. Cheers!

Both the original & the replica look stunning! The big question I have is, if you have an original 60s Jazz bass, why go to the trouble & expense of having a replica made? Surely the original must be worth more intact than as separate parts? But maybe not ... just curious! Good luck anyway :-)

Tony just bought an amp from me. Great communication, immediate payment. Super smooth transaction. Top guy! Cheers.

I now find myself in need of a bass fuzz / distortion of some kind ... so open to trades ... needs to be fairly heavy distortion/fuzz ... suggestions welcome ...

Is the natural Skyline still available?

Saturday bump, before it goes on eBay ....

Do you still have the Delano pup? And out of interest, why did you change it, and how did it compare to the SD, or to the original? Cheers.

Terrific looking bass. The early 80s Squiers were great instruments - just wish I'd bought one myself at the time!
Seriously tempted but I'd have to sell something first. Whereabouts are you?

*** Now Sold ***

For Sale is my GK MB200

I've had it for a couple of years, bought used so not sure how old it is exactly but I think it was fairly new when I got it.

I've only used it for home practice, occasional quiet rehearsals, and as a back up on a couple of gigs (never been needed).

Fabulous little amp, but I now think I need to carry something a little more powerful as a backup, so decided to move it on.

More or less as new condition, any questions please ask.

Looking for £140 including UK mainland delivery.

Open to trades or p/x for bass fuzz or distortion ...

Back to School bump!

It's been a few weeks since I last bumped this, but it's still available! :-)
