Thanks for the nice comments! I don't go on Basschat nearly as much as I should - mostly when I'm buying or selling basses! I bought that bass in spring 1975 as a late '60s P-bass body (had been resprayed black, which I stripped and varnished) already with a Tele bass neck (maybe 1968, can't remember, and it's in storage so I can't check). Immediately I added an EB3 mini humbucker at the bridge but as the pole piece spacing was narrower I had to use Mustang bass saddles pulled together with a piece of thick wire. I used it like this with Colosseum II (Gary Moore, Don Airey etc, 1975-6), mostly using both pickups, and National Health (1976-7), generally just the J pickups, but I think in 1977 I changed the EB3 pickup for two J pickups wired as a humbucker. The P-bass pickup was still as standard then but I don't have any pics that show it in this configuration. I removed all the frets in 1977 (Jaco! See photo below from rehearsals for the Bruford album Feels Good To Me, standing in for Jeff Berlin who was the actual bassist in the band) and sometimes had to borrow other necks or basses for particular songs, sessions or gigs. I had it refretted in late 1977 or early 1978. Soon after joining Whitesnake in early 1978 I needed to change from the mid-heavy tone of the EB3 or J bridge humbucker to a more full sound, so I started using the P pickup (at this time and in Colosseum II I was using flat wounds for more definition - the treble of round wounds was swamped by guitars, cymbals etc. Later with Whitesnake I changed to La Bella Quarterwounds then La Bella Hard Rockin' Steel) but wasn't very satisfied by the tonal difference between the two halves of the pickup. I discovered there was a type of replacement P pickup (Mighty Mite, I think) which had a single polepiece under each string, like Sandbergs today, so the coil size wasn't as wide as in regular P pickups, so I could shave the ends of the bobbins and put two coils side by side, similar to the two coils in a Di Marzio J pickup. I made a cover (as seen in the photo above) with two pickups (4 coils) underneath, and wired it so I could try the various combinations. Until halfway through 1978, it was my only bass, and to make changes to my gear required me to make modifications to that one, as I couldn't afford to buy new instruments. I discovered that I preferred the sound of the coils wired in 'reverse P' configuration, which wasn't a thing then, though Yamaha started doing basses like that soon after. So that's how the bass was when that photo was taken. I used it on the Whitesnake Snakebite EP and Trouble LP, through a miked-up Peavey cab and no DI. After that I moved to Kramer then Aria, plus a borrowed Alembic for some albums. Later, with Black Sabbath in 1995 I reinstated a normal Precision pickup (Bartolini) for some touring, and I used the bass for periods during my 12 years in We Will Rock You in the West End. I shaved down the back of the Tele bass neck during the 70s as I found it too chunky, but went too far and exposed the truss rod! So that neck was retired in the 90s and I've had a couple of different P bass necks on there since then. By the way, there's a version on the net of that photo up above that has my hair sticking up on top and looking very odd, which is a digital mistake I guess, so I'm glad you used the better version!

So - to the fretboard. The plan (you know about "best made.." etc) is, after taking out the nut, to remove the board but, if possible keep the runout into the headstock where it is, which might be a challenge because it is actually part of the fretboard: 1st step is to protect the neck: With old necks and bodies - particularly if they have lacquer cracks and crazing, which this one does - you have to be very careful with masking tape. I use the 3M decorators tape (DON'T use the blue Dial knockoff from B&Q) because the 'tack' is lighter than some and it won't leave glue behind. But on an old neck, I also don't leave it on. Same issue - reducing the chances of lacquer coming off with the tape. The longer it's on, the tighter will be the tack. So I will be applying and taking tape off a number of times on this particular refurb. Here's 2/3rds of my kit. A travel iron (on full) and a single-edged razor: Key thing is getting the fretboard very hot and letting that heat fully penetrate down to the glue line. It's not to be rushed. After around 10 minutes of the iron just on this end few inches, I was able to do this: The razor was able to slip between the board and the neck. I worked the blade round both sides and the end until I was able to get my very thin steel sheet in between without it straining the board at all or digging in. I use the acoustic sides protector stainless sheet that I use when bending acoustic guitar sides, but folks use cake platters, etc. As long as it's steel and very thin it will work fine: And then it's a case of being patient and going an inch at a time, heating up the next section and 'walking' the steel sheet or platter up. I find it goes about 5mins per inch once the board really starts heating up. But I let it go at its own pace - rushing it usually ends badly. After around 35 minutes I'd got here: As I started getting close to the nut, I used a razor saw to cut the 1-2mm of board joining the main board to the runout: Then 5 - 10 minutes later it was all off: Phew!12 points

An Ovation Magnum 1 electric bass guitar in excellent condition and in good working order, complete with the original case. The bass is incredibly sturdy and sonically versatile, with a graphite-reinforced solid mahogany body and neck, a thick slab ebony fretboard, and strung with set of wire wound strings, this bass offers a consummate blend of natural thump and punch. The Magnum pickups are designed for high output, tonal versatility, and a balanced response. The neck pickup has four separate and adjustable coils, one for each string, overwound and wired in a humbucking design. The unique bridge pickup has individual U-shaped pole pieces, with a strong output that channels more of the strings higher overtones with a focused piano string-like quality. This bass dates © 1978 & weighs in at 10lbs 2oz. Please note the following, which are reflected in the sell price : Mute lever bar & truss rod cover are missing & the stereo output has been disabled. The original Ovation hardshell case is included. Price includes courier to anywhere in the United Kingdom, although collection would be preferable. Payment via Paypal or BACS8 points -

That would take a very long time! I try not to customise my basses these days, as I made quite a mess of some of them with a chisel and soldering iron back in the day! I'm afraid that in general I haven't earned nearly as much money as you might think from the bands I've been in, and sometimes it's been very much feast then famine. I've tended to be in well-known bands at the time when they weren't having huge success, or in some cases other people got the majority of the money instead of it being fairly distributed. Playing in We Will Rock You for 12 years solid was the most consistent money I've earned but that's really hard work, extremely repetitive and not a creative outlet, obviously. Sadly, if I bought a high-end bass when I was flush, that would be the first to go when things got a bit grim financially. It's nice to have the best instruments, but frustrating if there aren't actually the opportunities to use them.8 points

I keep getting nagged to write a book, but it's such a big task. It risks being very boring to anyone other than bass players, or even to ordinary fans who want sordid tales of debauchery etc! It's hard enough to write a book - even harder to make it entertaining! It would be very easy for me to put down a long list of gigs I did, people I played with etc, which would be exceedingly boring to read. I do plan to make videos where I play the songs I'm mostly known for, though I'm not sure if they'll be 'tuition' videos as such.7 points

I can't seem to edit the price here but it's now £400 collected from Brighton or £425 including shipping. WEIGHT UPDATE: on a set of digital scales it came out at 3.8kg (or 8.25lbs) which is reasonably light I'd guess? It absolutely grieves me to be selling this bass, as it's one the nicest playing basses I've ever played, plus it took me a while to find it as they are not exactly an everyday item here in the UK. As per the title, I'm selling my 1984 Japanese Squier Bullet Bass. I bought it from Gareth of this very forum just six months ago for £425 and it's been my pride and joy. So why am I selling it you might ask? Well, long term shoulder and neck problems are forcing me to scale down what I play. The weight of this bass on a strap is really painful on my left shoulder, and if I play it sitting down I get sharp nerve pain in the side of my neck when I play an F on the E string for instance. It's not a heavy bass and there's no neck dive issues. But the state of my left shoulder and left side of my neck is terrible so I'm having to go to something much lighter and smaller and shorter scale. My 34" scale days might be over for the forseeable future. If I wasn't in such a state physically I'd keep this. But I need a smaller lighter bass I can still record sessions with, and gig with when we're eventually allowed out onstage again. When I bought the bass from Gareth it was in nice condition for a bass of its age. Few discreet dings around the edge of the body and to the underside of the headstock, and one circular ding in the back but nothing to worry about. There was a bit of tape on the pickup wiring in the control cavity, not sure what purpose it served but it's still there now. Also the neck plate had had a #number engraved in it, which wasn't in the original sale pics but it didn't bother me and it doesn't affect the sound or how it plays either. Just mentioning it for transparency so you know what to expect. I swapped out the original 3-ply white/black/white pickguard for a custom made 3-ply b/w/b 'guard from Brian Pillans up in Glasgow. For me this was £30 well spent as it improved the aesthetics of the instrument 100%. I also swapped out the faded plastic volume and tone knobs for a pair of steel flat top barrel knobs like you'd find on a Precision or a Telecaster. Both these upgrades are reversible and of course I'll be supplying the original (faded to cream) pickguard and knobs with the bass. Black / black / maple is a unique combo for one of these basses, it wasn't offered stock in this configuration but it can go back to black / white / maple again in about 10 mins, no soldering required. When I got the bass it had a fresh set of Rotosound Swing roundwounds on it. I swapped these out for a set of Fender Flatwounds (45-100 I think?) but the (unplayed by me) Rotosound rounds will be included. Other thing to mention is when I bought the bass there had been a finger rest / tug bar installed on the bass side above the E string. I didn't refit this when I changed the pickguard but it's included if you want to reinstall it. The pickups are grey underneath and look similar to the late period Fender Mustang pickups, they have 82 stamped on them. Obviously 1984 is a cracking year for Japanese Squiers and the build quality, finish, feel, playability and tone are superb. Every bit as good as the USA Fender Bullet bass I owned previously and it records even better than my old USA Fender Bullet too. I've managed to get this on a forthcoming 7" single by a band I play in and an album track for another band which will be out on vinyl in February, so it's been documented in the six months I've owned it. Anyhow, pics! The outdoor pics are the original ones Gareth took outside his house in natural daylight and the indoor ones are ones I took at home. I'm bringing the price down to £425 including shipping (or £400 if you collect from my place) so I'm making a loss on this, especially once you factor in the £55 I spent on the new pickguard and knobs and new strings) I just want to see it go to a good home and to someone who will be able to really get the most out of it. Collection can be from my place in central Brighton at £400, or I can courier it for £425 on either Tuesday the 15th or Wednesday the 16th of December. I'm emigrating for proper on the 17th so if you're interested PM me ASAP and we can sort it out! Cheers - Lee5 points -

For sale only: Yamaha TRB II 5 string. 35" scale for a mighty B string, and an active B/M/T pre with volume/blend. Purchased from Brother Jones of this parish but now need to make space for impending house move... 43mm nut 4.6 kg 19mm spacing at bridge Condition: Cosmetically as per photos, one small dent on front shown. Fully working order and a lovely player. All controls work well, although the centre detentes don't 'bite' as much as they maybe should. But the pots hold their position and I've never had a problem. Comes with gig bag, of which the pocket zip doesn't work but the main bag zip does. Will ship for free in UK by Parcelforce 48 My feedback: https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/235157-kevsy71/ Cheers!

My 2009 Warwick Rockbass Corvette is all done. It has gone from being a Basic 4 to something a little more upmarket. The list of mods and changes; Remove original low gloss finish and hand oil sand the Alder body New truss rod with an Ebony fretboard and new frets MEC pickups out, Dimarzio Model Js in 9v Chinese preamp out, John East Uni-pre at 18v in Rockbass chrome tuners out, black GOTOH GB7s in Chrome bridge out, black bridge in Set of D’addario Chromes I know it will always be a Rockbass at heart and for the money I’ve spent could’ve bought a used German made Warwick but I’ve really enjoyed doing it. It feels special and unique because of the time, effort and literally blood I’ve put into the project without it just being about throwing money at it. The Alder body came up much better than I thought it ever would with numerous coats of Liberon Finishing Oil and lots of sanding at increasingly finer grades. It was topped off and waxed with Black Bison Wax. The bass feels and sounds a little more refined and less agricultural and will hopefully be more reliable. The Uni-pre is truly remarkable for its versatility. The Model Js are very hot which has needed winding them right down and backing off on the gain to avoid clipping. Overall I would describe the tone as classic rock with the ability to dial the top in and out for a more retro funk/motown sound. I just need my area to move to tier 1 now so I can try it at a band practice. I sold my Ibanez SR1820 so that leaves the Warwick and the 1989 SR800 in the stable. The 800 is getting an EMG BQC put in it soon to go with the existing EMG PJX pickups. I really want a neck thru to fill the gap on the wall but can’t decide on what to look for as I like a skinny neck. Perhaps an early SR900 but that a topic for another day...... BEFORE AFTER3 points

Just picked up a 78 P bass and not just any old Precision, it’s my first decent bass, the one that I cut my teeth on and then sold about 33 years ago. I sold it back in the 80s when I started using active basses. I had two precisions and sold the good one as it was worth a few quid more! Always wished that I had sold the other one instead. It just came up for sale by a guy who's got a studio in Leeds. The only problem is that I paid five times what I sold it for all those years ago! I remember somebody here posting about buying back their old P bass. Like him, I’ve had a couple of precisions, but they never seemed to compare to ‘my’ old P bass. To me, Fender Precisions define what an electric bass is, despite me happily using many other basses over the years. I remember that when I originally bought this bass, I knew that I was now going to be a proper bass player! You have to remember that when I started playing, virtually all of our heroes played a precision! A few played Ricks and the odd one played a jazz bass, but me finally having my own P bass was a big thing! Quite emotional to get it back...3 points

Just got in from nearly 3 hours of socially distanced band practice. The BBPH was superb. Run through a EBS Microbass 3 and a hp filter into an EBS Fafner and an 8 ohm Accugroove 112 with a horn and 2 tweeters. It cut through the mix very well. Lovely tone and sustain like you’d hardly believe. I played it passive with the tone rolled down for the more bluesy numbers and active with a slight mid boost and treble cut for the more rocky stuff. It’s a great bass and I’m well pleased. Hopefully fitting Dunlop flats tomorrow. Peter3 points

I have many of the "symptoms" on that list and I don't have ADHD. My nephew, aged 5 or 6 was diagnosed with ADHD but has A levels and a degree. He now has a well paid job (£45KPA) with The City of London Police. Though I accept there are some with behavioural issues IMO it's far too easy to put labels or "conditions" to explain so called "behaviour problems" which don't exist. In my life as a drug worker I've met loads of people with these "conditions" who merely lacked boundaries as a result of poor/ inadequate parenting. Not saying that's what you have Rich.3 points

My old bass has been sitting around home for the last 15 years... I finally decided that I really won't be using it It was working when last used many years ago - but is sold as seen as I have no cables/amp to test. I will benefit form a good clean and probably a service. It's not immaculate condition but would be a good bass for someone (that can play!) Pick up only as it has no case.

Intermittent faults are the worst This above is what you have to do. You also have to clear your head of preconceptions. In this situation you just can't trust anything including all the checks you have already done and the idea that this is a single fault. There may well be more than one component faulty and they may be interacting with each other, or not. I can't tell you how many times I've gone through this to find it was something I checked right at the beginning or a brand new component I'd replaced and just assumed was good. It's probably worthwhile keeping a note of the combinations you try and what happens. Just one other thought the zoom G1 has a headphone output. if you put it in the middle of your chain you could check whether the fault was before or after the G1. good luck3 points

I have had the privilege to work on a couple of Wals since I started this crazy hobby and, without any hesitation, they are my favourite basses. Everything is SO well engineered and the instruments just feel and sound - great! It's one of the absolute delights of the regional Basschat Bass-bashes because the kind folks round here let maniacs like me actually pick them up and play them. So, anything that I can do that can keep a Wal working or get playing again is always of interest. So you can imagine how excited I was to be contacted by our very own @Fishman who explained that he had some Pro 1e components and could I get it all playable again. 'Sure! Send them to me." Gosh - a Pro 1e! Happy Days The box was smaller and lighter than perhaps I might have expected. Well - maybe it's a particularly lightweight version...even MORE exciting because sometimes they can, indeed be on the heavy side Oh...that's odd... Well - definitely a Wal! That is the best pickup in the industry in my opinion: Well, OK - I'll admit that @Fishman did mention that it needed a new body. And the fretboard is coming off and being replaced with an ebony fretted one with a couple of AJR swifts at the 12th, requested by @Fishman so that there can be no ambiguity that this isn't a full genuine Wal (oh...and because they DO look pretty cool ) This is the kind of job I can slot in while the relevant machines are out for @Jus Lukin 's build (my cellar isn't big enough to leave the bigger stuff in situ) so it won't be a super fast affair but I am looking forward to it. Oh - and I've got a lovely piece of lightweight swamp ash for it (ignore the outline - don't worry, it won't look like a Fender I'll keep you guys and gals posted2 points

As a parent with a kid with ADHD and ASD comments like this make me incredible angry. The OP wasn't talking about behavioural problems - more exploring why he has found learning and other aspects of life challenging and sharing some information about that. 50 years ago I very much doubt ADHD would have been picked up on and if the OP had these sorts of challengers at school was probably labelled a disruptive or under achieving kid. Exploring nuero-diversity wouldn't have been a thing back then. I think it's great @Grangurthat you are exploring it now. Since my son's diagnosis I have been recognising his traits in myself and understanding him helps me understand me, it answers questions from my youth as to why I struggled, was unhappy and volatile that I could never previously understand. It's helped me understand and accept myself more. Poor / inadequate parenting and lack of boundaries is going to cause many kids to follow undesirable paths, whether they have ADHD or not. I have multiple kids, all brought up in the same house with the same values. Only one can be challenging from behavioural perspective - this is not because of lack of boundaries it's driven by sensory overload and overwhelming anxiety that can't be regulated. All this bursts out in explosive anger. Teachers in schools these days do get training on ADHD and ASD and support is available for them though some are better at understanding and adapting than others. The school environment can be a huge factor in how well a child can cope - we had to move my kid into a different school because his didn't and the difference that made to him has been incredible - IT'S NOT ALL THE PARENTS!!! We are still tryif to repair the damage that school has done to him in terms of accepting himself, crippling low self-esteem as a result of how they treated him. Charts and information you share are great. School teachers do get training on this stuff. Private music teachers DO NOT. My kids drum teacher had never taught a kid with ADHD / ASD before and had no idea on how to approach it. He was amazing, he went and did a bunch of research but I bet most don't or wouldn't know what signs to look out for.2 points

My bass life started in 1967 after having played the guitar joining my first band dyring autumn 1962. My first guitar there was a Harmony H49 Stratotone, seen in the mirror it is the best guitar I ever owned, later on I had Gibson Les Paul Professional and Fender Strat, and japanese Les Paul clones, but I still miss my H49, which I was so stupid to sell ! The first bass I owned was a Burns Bison vith a “violin shaped” peghead and three pickups, it also had a hand rest over the strings, a Pre- Shadows model. A brief periode I played a Danelectro Longhorn short scale. Later on I again went on the guitar and bass vice versa. I joined a professional band and did it for a living though 6-1/2 years, and through this periode I found out the formula for fretting and made my own bass, the scale was 880 mm (Fender is 860 ), although I used a Jazz Bass as a sort of template. I found some rod magnets, made forms from pertinax and wound my own pickups. I used this bass for years, also occasionally for studio work. Later on I bought a Washburn, it had a more funky sound and was more suitable for a new band I joined late in ‘79 through ‘84. Joining a more jazzy trio, I decided going “headless” and found a secondhand Washburn Status Series 100, which I have until this day. Just to tell a little more guitar story : I also made my own guitar, a sort of Les Paul “clone”, neck from maple, fretboard from rosewood and body in laminated mahogany, scale 625mm. I used two japanese pickups, installed 4 conductor screened cable and made a switch panel with lots of possibilities, only volume control and no tone control. I had it destroyed on a job, the peghead broke off, and for the insurance fee I bought a Steinberger GM4T. From my 50 years bithday I changed to piano, a few years later I bought a Hammond M3 ! I’m now 75, still playing, but only for amusement.2 points

I've got the bass back from Jon Shuker yesterday. He's cleaned it up (a lot, it was in a bit of a state), sorted the scratchy pot, installed the badass and the bart p/up.

Except EMG, a few Seymour Duncan models and a very few other brands, all pickups on instruments are passive. Now, you can always bypass the active preamp with a switch or a push-pull volume or tone. As easy as that. That said, an instrument is a whole, so the sound of a BB1100S will not be the same as a BB1200 or BB1600, even with the same pickups, but the overall pickup grain will be the same. Now, there will be another war starting with the Almighty Pickups Power believers, but don't worry, the thread will derail by itself or it's not BassChat anymore. 😂2 points

What i like best about these sort of systems is the convenience. Not the wireless part, thats common to all, but that fact that you can just pick them up and plug them in. If you have your transmitter on a strap and the receiver on a pedalboard etc it’s bit more hassle to just pick an instrument up and get playing. The bug system is truly plug and play.2 points

Kind of beefy in a twangy kind of way. Hope that helps. Not really Fendery but still old school somehow - more J than P but without the burpiness. Hard to describe. This guy uses one a lot and captures the tone, with a little more processing than I use.2 points
