    [quote name='chris_b' timestamp='1370853048' post='2106186'] The volume difference between 300 watts and 500 watts through a 210 cab will be small. The volume difference between 1 210 cab and 2 210 cabs will be large. The bonus is that the tone will be greatly improved by using more speakers Anything like a 410 or larger you might as well go 4 ohm, for cabs smaller than a 410 I'd always go 8 ohm and use 1 or 2 cabs depending on the gig.

    Didn't like them at the time but have a couple of songs in our set now and really enjoy playing them. Go down a storm too. Not as good as the Seahorses though! Now that is a great band with some brilliant and creative bass lines!

    I bought Zoot (mim Fender Jazz fretless) from outspoon a couple of months back. Brilliant guy to deal with. The bass was well packaged prior to shipping and the communication was brilliant. Kept me informed of everything that was happening at every stage of the process. Bass exactly as described. Buy with confidence folks. Best of luck with the sale. Tempted myself but funds won't allow at the moment.

    [quote name='lozbass' timestamp='1370075698' post='2096190'] Mr Zed, thanks - good to see such a constructive and helpful post. I too dislike the look of the J Retro knobs and the solution detailed (and very well photographed) is an excellent one [/quote] Thank you for your kind words lozbass. I'm a stickler for detail and basses (and my other passion motorbikes) just have to look and function right. There is no question that the chrome knobs that come with the East are better quality than the Fender items but, to me, a Jazz should look like a Jazz. I'm happy with the look now.

    [quote name='Highfox' timestamp='1369942263' post='2094836'] and me! lol [/quote] Me too - but I'm after a Jazz (in my dreams). Fantastic looking bass this. 1964 was a good vintage.

    [quote name='Darkstrike' timestamp='1343586899' post='1752419'] They're plastic, IIRC, wouldn't it be pretty easy to ream them out a touch for the East pots? [/quote] Sorry for re-hashing an old thread but I was interested in doing the same with my fretless jazz. Ordered the Fender concentric knobs from the States which cost around £35 for the three inc shipping & broker fees etc The ebay seller was musicpartsguru. I expected to have to ream them out a touch to fit the East pot shafts and I wasn't surprised to find that this was indeed the case. This would have been better being done in a lathe but I only have a cordless drill, a selection of drill bits and some allen keys. Anyway, found the nearest drill size, stuck the knobs in a vice and hey presto - job done.

    New photos added since we've had some sun in Bolton over the weekend - didn't last long (raining again now) but long enough to take these and get a ride on the bike

    Always nice to hear some exciting news for a fellow member of this 'ere forum! Congratulations Clarky. If you get to do an interview at some stage it may be worth canvassing for opinion on which fretless to sell.

    I keep coming back to drool over the pics of this bass. It really is stunning. Got Sadowsky GAS now! Bugger!

    Yesterday afternoon I was up at Rivington Barn (a local bikers meeting place between Bolton & Chorley) and a guy pulled up on a Ducati Desmosedici RR Motogp replica. Holy-mother-of-christ. That thing sounded like nothing else on earth. Music to my ears!

    I had just one bass at a time for years and years. The thought of owning more than one at a time didn't even enter my head. The I discovered basschat!!!

    The Cardiff Arena is the perfect venue for a wedding reception don't you think?

    I'm with Clarky on this one - the seller is free to ask for whatever price they want. It is their bass after-all. At the end of the day, it is the buyer who dictates the financial worth of an item by what they are prepared to pay for it. So the bass will either sell at the asking price, below the asking price (either by PM offer by a potential purchaser or price drops by the seller) or not at all.

    Lovely - congrats on your new bass. Looks stunning now, even better when HJ has finished with it

    Go to Halfords and ask for a bike box. They're usually happy to give them away as they have to get rid of them anyway. Being creative with a Stanley knife and some bubble wrap will do the trick. Nice and easy. Parcel force will collect from you and it usually costs less than £20. Nice looking bass btw - the mods are very classy.

    Just bought an East J-Retro pre-amp from Stuart. A very smooth, pleasant transaction - no issues what-so-ever. Top chap - Thanks Stuart.
