  1. That…is an absolute bargain! Small PA or run monitors with it. Good luck with the sale.
  2. Fabulous dual channel preamp! I use it for electric and doghouse and if I’m using 4 and 5 string. Good luck with the sale.
  3. I have an Elite J and it is wonderful…beautiful neck, but that body is big! Is this a standard size P? Someone is going to love this bass and I often think the Sadowsky’s always have that more comfortable feel with the slightly smaller body. I’ve toyed with the idea of having a Deluxe Jazz sized body made for the neck, because the Elite is that good. With the excellent truss road adjustment (that Musicman complained about and stopped Fender), those necks are the pinnacle of Fender’s design IMO. Good luck with the sale.
  4. Bought a Fender P Deluxe V from Paddy. Great to deal with, prompt shipping and packed superbly. The whole case was wrapped with carpet underlay, bubble wrap and plastic sheet and gaffer tape! Very effective. Thank you again. KC
  5. PM coming your way. Thank you..
  6. Concur with most of this…still have a pretty rare ‘92 Kubicki era Modern Jazz v, which is nice, light and small bodied. I have an Elite J5 too as a preference over the Ultra. Only made for a couple of years, but upset Musicman with the truss rod wheel and the through bridge was stopped due to cost. They cut those two bits out, put the price up and named it the Ultra! I also have an Elite P which is wonderful to play, with a great neck, not too dissimilar to my ‘70 P, ‘B’ neck.
  7. Just received a Lehle Volume Pedal from Michael. Exactly as described, well packed, excellent communications and fast delivery, couldn’t ask for more! Highly recommend this Chatter. KC. (Fabbabass)
  8. Early 90’s, Phil Kubicki design when he worked for Fender, neck and electronics are excellent. Slightly scaled down body and light Jazz Bass. I have a 5 string or I’d be snapping at this and they are rare and wonderful bases. One of the earliest super jazzes. Very nice, good luck with the sale.
  9. I have the BB800 (amongst many other amps) and use various preamps with it; Bassics, Mesa +, Aguilar, Radial and it always delivers. Even the EQ is effective once you work out how it works and it really seems to slam in a way that so few Class D amps seem to when you turn them up. This new one seems to be a logical move towards market acceptance, but I don’t think I’d be ready to replace my made in USA unit just yet.
  10. I got my Wal in ‘84 and it was fitted with Pocato nickel rounds. They were lovely and didn’t chew up the frets too badly as stainless steel might. I’d look at trying some nickels if you want a more modern sound but flats may be sweet and different.
