If still available I'll take it!  

Hi,

Those who have ever tried the original Maestro Brassmaster of the Malekko B:assmaster probably already know the wide variety of extreme fuzz and octave up fuzz sounds these pedals are known for.

The WD pedals B:assmaster offers the same sound and quality you can find on the Malekko B:assmaster, but in a smaller, more compact enclosure and at a lower price point.

This pedal has a handpainted one of a kind graphic that really makes it stand out on your pedalboard.

The pedal hasn't left my livingroom yet so it's still in A+, showroom condition.

I'm looking for 149£ for this, shipping within the U.K. and EU zone 1 included.

cheers!

Are these still available and would you post to uk?

Thanks

Hi bud,

at the moment they are still available, but I'm out of the country untill next wednesday, I'll give you a shout when I'm back.

Shipping is no issue.  

Still available, also available now is a home made mini pedalboard probably around 26/16cm, but I'll have to measure to make sure as I'm just guessing atm.

Will upload pictures and exact size of the pedalboard later. This is also free for whoever wants it.  

Price drop => 75£ takes it all!

£600 to one lucky bass player

I'm trying really hard to choose between this jazz and another "special" 5string jazz atm.

Just waiting for my paycheck to come in, as soon as it arrives I'll let you know which one I choose.

What's the weight please? 

Hi bud,

what's the weight please?

(Thinking of converting it in a fretless, but weight is an issue for me with these basses.. ) 

Hi,

I've build 3 P-basses over the last few weeks in a quest to find the perfect combination of pickups, strings hardware, potis and capacitor for my style of music.

I've tried almost any possible combination of potis and capacitors in these basses which leaves me with a few wiring looms that I'm probably not going to use anymore.

So if anyone's looking to upgrade his or her's P-bass electronics I can save you some trouble.

First up is a wiring loom from Charles guitars which consists out of: 

2) TVT 250K CTS SOLID SHAFT MATCHED SET POTENTIOMETERSWITH 9.5MM (3/8") SHAFT DIAMETER AND 6.0MM THREADED LENGTH

1) SWITCHCRAFT 1/4" MONO INPUT JACK (1) 0.02UF JUPITER YELLOW VINTAGE CAPACITOR. 

https://www.charlesguitars.co.uk/parts-shop/jazz-bass-and-p-bass/precision-bass-pre-wired-upgrade-kit

This was 33£ new, i'd be looking for 15£ + shipping cost.

Next up is a home made wiring loom cosisting out of 2 Allparts 250K mini potis, switchcraft jack and Sprague 0.047UF capacitor.

I'de be looking for 10£+ shipping cost for this.

I also have a standard wiring loom from a Fender P with no mods, including the knobs. I'd be looking for 5£ + shipping cost for this one.

I also have a Squier 5string bridge, tuners (4L, 1R), backplate and a set of Gotoh strap holders leftover that I'd like to sell. I will take 20£ + shipping cost for the lot.

Thanks,

I've always loved the Wizard pickups in my jazz basses, so I might have to check these thumper pickups out..

If I don't end up with a wizard, it will probably be a Creamery pickup. Thanks for all the tips and advice!

Meanwhile I've had the frets leveled and gave the bass a decent set-up, I'll need to file down the bridge saddle for the G string a little bit as the bridge doesn't allow me to go any lower and I like a low action,

but other than that this bass is starting to play and sound a lot better than f.e. all the Sire basses I've owned so far, so I'm looking forward to the end result with the new pickup and a nice set of flatwounds installed.  (I've put a set of Elixir roundwounds on it for now as I got them for free when I bought  the bass, but I'm more of a flatwound/tapewound kinda guy, all that high end zing just confuses me.. 😛 )

Instead of 2 string trees there is the Sandberg which does it all.

Pick ups - so many out there like SD, Nordy’s, Lindy Fralin

So out of left field - 

Haüssel

Ulyate Tic tac’s

Joe Barden 

Creamery

There you go!

 

Thanks a lot!

I already checked some reviews of the Ulyateand Creamery pickups, but but it seems they are quite hard to find around here.

I quite like that look sometimes, it’s like a racing stripe!

But it looks like there is a grounding wire anyway, does it need both?

6 hours ago, LeftyJ said:

I was thinking the exact same thing, there's clearly a wire in the pictures heading towards the bridge. 

I'm just a bit OCD when it comes to shielding and stuff.. 😛 

I know the bass doesn't need it, but it sure doesn't do any harm and I kinda like that vintage 70's look (all my 70's style jazz basses have the copper strip thing as well)... 😎

"Super-Squier" build VI

So, I picked up a heavily neglected Squier VM 5string Precision today...

The action was so high you could do a limbo dance under the strings, but after a few turns on the trussrod and lowering the bridge saddles the bass actually sounded and played pretty good. At this point I decided to put on a set of fresh Elixir strings and Hipshot tuners that I had lying around.

Squier CV 60's precision fiesta red. 

The bass comes without a suitcase or gigbag, but I have plenty of packing materials (I'm an expert at packing instruments..  ) and you will get a standard levys strap with it.

Lovely! 😍 

Is that a full wengé neck?
