  1. Thank you very much indeed Sparky Mark, that's correct about the tuners, edited.
  2. Thanks to Cosmo Valdemar who helpfully pointed out the following: "this bass does indeed have Gibson pickups - Thunderbird plus model to be precise. There was a different Les Paul model that had Bartolini pickups but they are easily identifiable as they are in black plastic covers. These Les Paul models had a slab body and overall looked a bit less fancy." Good info, thanks for that.
  3. These 90s Les Paul basses had Bartolini pickups and electronics and a Warwick bridge and tuners fitted as standard at the factory. Check the wikipedia entry for more info on the history of these basses, some interesting stuff in there: [url="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gibson_Les_Paul_bass."]https://en.wikipedia..._Les_Paul_bass.[/url] It doesn't mention the Warwick bridge in there but have a look at a picture of a 90s Warwick Streamer and you'll see it has identical hardware.
  4. [color=#ff0000]*SOLD*[/color] Hi everyone, [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]This is a black [/font][/color][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]2007[/font][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif] [/font][/color]Fender Jaguar Bass[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif], Made In Japan. It is all-original, with the exception of some Schaller straplocks (I do not have the original buttons unfortunately).[/font][/color] [font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][color=#282828]The bass is set up with a medium action and 45-105 steel roundwound strings.[/color][/font] The finish on the front of the bass is near spotless. [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]On the back is a tiny ding which has not cracked or broken the surface. On the bottom of the [/font][/color]bass[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif] is a nastier bump which has hairline-cracked the finish but it's not visible when you're playing or when the [/font][/color]bass [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif] is on a stand. These look worse in the photos than they do in real life. Very difficult to photograph an all-black[/font][/color] bass[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]![/font][/color] This Jaguar sounds just like it should: to my ear, in passive it sounds just like a mid-70s Jazz with the pickup pan in the middle. With the active 2EQ on, you can roll in a tiny bit of extra bass and treble to cut through more. Or crank the bass EQ, solo neck pickup and roll off the tone and you can do a decent impression of a P-bass. Always has a very authentic 70s Fender tone. [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]The neck feels great; super fast and a lovely grain both sides. High-gloss neck with a rich colour front and back and beautiful aged yellow pearl block inlays.[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]This isn't a heavy bass. Would estimate around 9 to 9.5lbs. Very comfortable.[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Got two scratchplates included with this one: the factory original "mint green" one if you want to look like Pino with The Who, or a Jeanie's black/white/black 3-ply which is, if anything, a better fit and finish than the factory scratchplate (plus looks excellent all in black!).[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Will be in an old Rockbag gigbag-style soft case, a bit knackered but does the job![/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Looking for £450 for this. Pick-up only, cash on collection.[/font][/color] The bass[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif] is at a lockup in Staples Corner, North London or at home in Finchley N3. Not up for sending this in the post, sorry to those of you further afield.[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Just looking for a sale, can't think of anything at this price that I'd want to trade with.[/font][/color] Here are some more pics: [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Cheers,[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Ben[/font][/color]
