    [quote name='Burrito' timestamp='1505044050' post='3369060'] Just a heads up but you have become the latest victim to fall foul of Photobucket not hosting pics. Maybe try Imgur or hosting them on here? [/quote] Bugger, forgot about that, cheers I'll change it!!

    This is standard American model in the rather rare chrome red colour. This is a sliver metallic as opposed to the more gold metallic of candy apple red. I imported this from the US as I couldnt find the colour here. It has no chips and one tiny ding on the upper side of the body that you can't see, you can only feel it. Apart from that it is in 9/10 condition I would say. being conservative. It has a BadAss III bridge and Seymour Duncan SJB3 Quarter Pounders fitted and it alo has the S1 switch that allows the pickups to be used in series as well as in parallel. I have the original bridge and pickups if you want them although one of the original pickups I don't think works. I also have the original white pickguard. Weight is 9lb exactly. It also has the Fender shaped case that is in good condition too, Collection is preferred and the location is Cambridgeshire. Happy to travel a short way to meet up. I'm also in Milton Keynes and Stockport very frequently. If you want me to ship I can, if we can agree a courier service. No trades please as I have already identified something else, unless it's a five string Sterling! Thanks Steve

    Symptomatic of the market though - Fender Professional range £1,500, new Rickenbacker 4003 £2,300 etc . Even GuitarGuitar's solitary 5 string H is £1,900.

    [quote name='Rumple' timestamp='1504699787' post='3366665'] If it has a Rosewood board you'll have to factor in the cost of the export paperwork and the delay it will cause to the seller being able to ship it to you. [/quote] Good point - think the ebay one was ebony....

    So to order, HH with matching headstock is £2,250 and six months wait time!! There's a nice starry night on eBay in the US that would come in significantly under that, even with duty etc......

    Great service - I was after a specific type of pedal and Darren came up with the goods, sending it off the very next day. Top service, cheers Steve

    [quote name='drTStingray' timestamp='1501060912' post='3342099'] Best of luck searching for an ST5 - you could always order a new one - if it was me I'd go for an HS - adding the single coil to the single pick up Sterling sound adds significant bottom end and warmth to the sound when desired, gives a single coil option and you still get the single humbucker Magic as well when wanted. [/quote] The quest continues and I'm getting close to ordering a new one. For a regular (i.e. not custom build) model they're as rare as hen's teeth on the second hand market. . I am really hoping it's because owners just never want to move them on. Looks like you can't get a new HS 5 string now, just H or HH. So, It's down to colour and neck I guess......

    So your fella sticks the guitar and his luggage on a trolley and has a decision - which channel to use? He should use the red 'Goods to Declare' channel where he will pay vat and duty before being let go. If he chooses the green 'Nothing to Declare' he might be lucky and there's no one checking at all. Nine times out of ten this channel is deserted (when I use T5 which I do frequently). If he gets stopped in this channel does he 'fess up or does he blag his way out of it? It's your mate.......

    Age per se is nothing to worry about - it all depends on how it's been looked after during its seven years. If you've seen good quality photos that show it in good condition then that's a positive start. Can you verify the seller? Could you write up a simple checklist for your friend to follow when he collects the bass, or even arrange a skype/video call ?

    I've found that most, if not all, can. I've tried Amplitube, AmpKit, Pocket GK, Jam Up amongst others. Open the app, get your tone and then fire up Spotify. The only tricky bit I've found is balancing the levels.

    Loop switching woes

    Muppet replied to Muppet's topic in Effects

    [quote name='GisserD' timestamp='1503146209' post='3356040'] The sfx loop logic pedal will do this. There's one for sale in the clasifieds atm. I know this because it's me selling it [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/310317-effects-board-tuner-for-sale-aguilar-mxr-3leaf-mantic-korg-digitech/"]http://basschat.co.u...-korg-digitech/[/url] [/quote] Perfect thanks. Thanks too for the other answers, I knew Basschat could help!

    I have one amp and one guitar, so no mulitiple inputs or outputs. What I am trying to do is to have two separate effects loops and run it as such - Loop A on, Loop B on, Loop A+B on (with blend if possible), all loops bypassed. I have a LS2 but this can only do A, B, off or A+B, off. There must be a simple way or a simple loop switcher pedal that lets me do this but can I get my head around it??? Any help gratefully received! thanks Steve

    [quote name='Tullfan' timestamp='1503049787' post='3355298'] does this come with the 60th silver case? Thanks [/quote] Don't think it's the 60th Anniversary Model - doesn't have the headstock inlay?

    Deps seem to be mostly drummers and bassists though it seems (although I was in a function band that had a dep singer once). Is this because we're more flexible or just more easily replaced? I depped for an originals band once in a band competition final. The band won, the original bassist was fired and I got the job.

    The Fender Dimension V has an asymmetric C shaped neck, compound radius from 9.5" to 14" with a 19mm bridge and 44.5mm nut so it does look like Fender have a wide range. I don't know of other Fender Vs with the asymmetric profile though.

    For home use these are really good. You might be pleasantly surprised when you get it!

    Roland Bass Cube 30 is a superb little amp. one on ebay? [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Roland-Cube-Bass-30-Bass-Amplifier-10-inch-2-way-speaker-/222603964267?hash=item33d43aef6b:g:GbEAAOSwnsZZhhrx"]http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Roland-Cube-Bass-30-Bass-Amplifier-10-inch-2-way-speaker-/222603964267?hash=item33d43aef6b:g:GbEAAOSwnsZZhhrx[/url]

    Mine says Made in Indonesia on the back. Dunno about the speakers.
  21. Muppet
    This is V3? How old is it? No problems with mine but I don't push it.....maybe I'll look to see what speakers are in it.

    If I may say, these photos don't do this bass justice, excellent though they are. I saw this bass in person and it is absolutely stunning, I was more tempted by it that the one I went to see! A real bargain at this price. Steve

    [quote name='prowla' timestamp='1502257850' post='3350221'] I don't wear a watch at all. [/quote] Suspect you may not be interested then. I might be, however. Andy, do you have photos? cheers Steve

    The Nate Mendel Precision which is based on a 71 P is advertised as having a 'slim C' neck with a 41mm nut. It's noticeably shallower than the current modern C.....

    Bit too late to the party but this is a 60th anniversary, not a 50th. Apart from that these are tremendous, I have one. Lucky new owner!
