  1. The Elf is purely as an emergency backup. I have another identical amp which is my main rig. Did the class d thing a few years back and while my back thanked me for it, nowt moves air and makes a room throb like old fashioned Trace wattage!
  2. More thinning out. I bought an Elf the other day so I don't need this spare. It's mounted in a Citronic plastic flight case which has proved very tough and durable. This particular example was made in Jan 2000. All in good working order, the only issue being a couple of dark patches on the electroluminescent front panel. I applied the update to the driver board for the panel (a couple of resistors and a capacitor) so it now stays on all night and doesn't trip out when there's a mains spike like the unmodified ones are prone to do. Everything else is tickety-boo. I've given it a good clean and switch cleanered all the pots and switches. I'm sure everyone knows what all the fancy knobs and buttons do so I won't go into any detail. All working though. Had a very long and loud rehearsal with it last Friday and all was sweet. I'm based in Loughborough in Leicestershire so a meet up could be possible.
  3. Back on sale, it's failed the "not come out of the cupboard for six months test"
  4. Just remembered the other reason, the pan pot on the original Fender electronics was very crude. It was effectively a three way switch, the EMG allows neck with just a touch of bridge for example, the original was one or the other or both.
  5. I was fed up of getting buzz and hum from the bridge pick up. Everything was earthed and all cavities screened with copper foil and graphite paint. However some venues must have had a rogue beer cooler in the cellar or something because I couldn't get rid of interference. the neck pick up was quiet as a mouse, frustratingly! The EMG pickups are, as always, free from any nasties and sound (to my ears) the business. I could post, probably UPS as I've had no bother with them, not sure how much that would be but I can make enquiries. Cheers Andrew
  6. Price dropped to £750 and no lower! Another bass that has sat in the cupboard for far too long unplayed. At a gig last night, I realised that the two basses I had with me were all I'd used in anger for ages and all I would ever need. (Until the dreaded GAS rears it's ugly head again) Any road up, here is my 2010 Fender American Deluxe Precision Bass in Crimson transparent. I got fed up of the N3 pickups and fitted EMG PJ pickups and a BTS four knob control system. The Scratchplate has been replaced with a mint green one but I can chuck in the original black one (a bit battered) if you like. The bass is fitted with the appropriate Hipshot DTuner and is in overall excellent condition. the only damage is a small gouge on the end of the headstock, a few plectrum scratches on the body on the upper boutand a little scuffing below the controls on the lower edge. The case has most of the bits in it and is in very good condition. It's a beauty but it never gets played and I'm fast running out of space under the stairs. I am based in Leics but get around the country a lot with work so a meet could be possible. Let the pictures tell you more! Not really interested in trades. Try me if it's a guitar (not modern or even remotely pointy)
  7. I had an epiphanal moment whilst playing last night in a pub, this bass has sat in my cupboard unmolested for far too long so it's up for grabs. A 2014 American Deluxe Fender Jazz bass in three tone sunburst. The electronics and pickups have been replaced with EMG JV pickups and a four knob EMG BTS control system. The bass is fitted with a Hipshot D Tuner and Jim Dunlop strap locks. A brown leather Fender strap is included.A few battle scars from it's previous owner. The scratch plate has a few scratches from aggressive plectra and there are a couple of tiny dings on the rear of the upper bout, about where your right armpit would be if you were Mark King. The case has a little damage to one corner (the corner where the accessory pocket is) which is patched up with gaffer tape. Let the pictures do the talking. I'm based in the East Midlands but do travel around a fair bit with my work so meet up could be possible. Not really interested in trades but if it's a guitar (not modern or even remotely pointy) give me a try. PS Rabbit not included
  8. The noisy bits from my 2014 American Deluxe Jazz bass. A very versatile arrangement but I like my EMGs so out it has come. Volume, pick up selection, stacked bass and treble and stacked mid and passive tone. A switch bypasses the active bits in case of power failure. I'm sure you know the score. All there apart from pickup mounting screws and the foam springs. Any wiring I had to cut to remove the assembly has been clearly labelled so no confusion there. £130 inc postage, can't say fairer than that.

  9. A pair of pickups on my doorstep within 24 hours. Can't say fairer than that! Highly recommended.
