obbm Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 (edited) Even though this a superb bass it is now superfluous to my current needs and sadly has to go to make way for an incoming Godin fretless. It has a matched pair of Lindy Fralin pickups with separate CTS stack knob pots (250K/250K) for each. When the Gallery did the routing for the J-pickup I also had them put in a side-mounted jack and a rear battery box jsut in case I wanted to add a pre-amp at a later date. I will include a generic hard case. £770 plus postage. Collection welcome. Edited July 1, 2010 by obbm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibob Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 Now you told me this was a keeper lol Have had a little play on this acoustically and it plays, feels and sounds fantastic. Bet it's killer plugged in! Oh and as if I need to tell anyone, OBBM is excellent to deal with!! Good luck buddy Si Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Things have changed and I need something else for the new band so something has to go. It could have been the Shuker but I've recently bonded with it. It could have been the pre-EB Ray but no-one has the money to buy it so regretably this is next as I won't sell the pink Jazz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

obbm Posted June 7, 2010 Author Share Posted June 7, 2010 Forgot to mention that it has a Hipshot D-tuner on the E-string. I also have the original tuner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

obbm Posted June 8, 2010 Author Share Posted June 8, 2010 Thanks Gareth for jumping in there. I was going to comment that you would not get a USA Lakland for this price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gareth Hughes Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 Hey obbm - what's the blended pickup sound on this like compared to a regular JJ configuration? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without the bridge pickup it's a modern P, add in the bridge and the sound tightens. Wind back the neck pick-up and it goes deep growly. I've always liked the PJ set-up. Last year I acquired a 5-string Shuker PJ in a trade and can't justify keeping both. BTW the neck on this is superb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon. Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 Obbm - if you could wait until September, I'll have a cash injection and very probably take this off your hands! Can't believe this great looking bass hasn't sold yet... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basses like this will evetually sell in their own good time, one just has to be patient. Keep me posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
