Now Sold Fender US Deluxe Active Precision Bass, 2015 model. Condition is Used. In good condition, a couple of very minor knocks to the finish as per photos. Features include hi-mass bridge, thru bridge or body stringing, graphite strengthening rods in the neck for greater stability. Can be used in either passive or active modes: Passive mode - volume, pickup blend and tone. Active mode - volume, pickup blend, bass, middle, treble. Comes with Fender hard case. Will only ship within UK, at buyers expense. -
Same here, amazingly full sound as well.

Wowzers, was only £20 out - which back then would have been a prawn cocktail, well done steak, Black Forest gateau and a bottle of Blue Nun at a Beefeater.
-
I think it reads: The 51 Split J is fackin great.
-
Never saw them, but a rhythm section of Sting & Copeland is difficult to match.

I’ve sold a lot of gear recently as am no longer in a gigging band, so offloaded excess gear that I had. I have reinvested though, a bit of trial & error, some in/some out, have got to more than I still need but not as much as I had before.
-
Great looking bass, congrats
-
Paul bought a scratchplate from me. Swift payment, good comms and advised when received, something u always appreciate.
-
If you like a chunky neck the Vintage V4 is worth checking out, slimmer neck then the Squier would be a good choice.

I reached my limits last year, I did my back in twice carrying my ABM410 up the stairs (nowhere to store it downstairs as front door is ground floor, rest of property first floor). Up until then I was fine with it, yes it was heavy but whilst I was able to manage it all I did. Sadly I now can’t, boo-hiss.
-
I’d say around £500, which would have been a lot of money back then.

Now Sold One Vintage Tony Butler Signature Precision, which I’ve had a refin to Olympic (cheesecake) white, also has a KiOgon wiring loom and Hipshot 3-way string tree/retainer. In interests of being completely honest the truss rod is maxed and a pic as below shows how this affects the action. I’m sure this is an easy job for the competent, but that’s not me so I’ve never done it, besides it was a backup to get me out of trouble if needed. Still plays fine and sounds great, when I got it I thought I’d have to swap pickups but no way, the Wilkinson ones in there are more than up to the job. No gig bag or case, so collection/meet up only. -
Now sold Genuine Fender Precision Pickguard in tort. Has a few minor scratches & blemishes as per pics. Over £70 new so £45 inc delivery within the UK. -
I recently sold my Ashdown ABM600, the best amp I’ve ever had. At 13kg it wasn’t too hard to cart about in comparison to the big valve amps but my ageing frame protests whenever I carry anything, so I listened to what my body was telling me and kept my Ashdown RM500. If I ever join a gigging band again my RM gear will be sufficient, it sounds great and unless on a really big stage there’s not that much difference to the ABM.
-
Yup
-
Nice, I’ve heard both in action and quite typically for me the Ashdown wins it.
-
Is it the Marshall VBA head & two VBC412 cabs, or his Ashdown rig?
-
That’s it for me, whilst it’s not the same at least people will still be able to watch their fave bands. On a Fri night after a hard weeks work, settle down with a four (or eight) pack in front of the laptop and see the bands put on a show. For the punk scene there are a few really good promoter and I really hope they take this on. There are venues that could easily put the events on safely for the bands and camera/lighting/sound crews. Keep some money coming in through their doors, bands get increased online sales, keep the scene going.
-
Imo a great deal of the Ampeg sound is their cabs. I’ve always found that in isolation the slight muddiness of the Ampeg sound is pretty uninspiring, but put in with the rest of the band it comes alive.
-
Hope you’ll be putting a couple of tracks from this project up on here Nik, really interested to here them.
-
Yes since opening of non essential retail, pubs & restaurants an increase was always likely imo, plus with events as described in another thread where no distancing was either practiced or controlled it doesn’t bode well for the giggers amongst us. I reckon performers are really going to have to look at online shows via promoters, it may not be what is wanted but it’s a way of gigs going ahead. Just wonder how it would be as a performer playing to a couple of cameras and trying to keep the energy of a live gig going.
-
I do, for what I was doing in my last band the Ashdown could get the sound I wanted on its own (even though I always used my Para Driver with it) whereas with the Ampeg I wouldn’t have had the choice, I would have needed the Para Driver.
-
I had a PF500 for a while and loved it, got a great recorded tone from it DI’d as well.
-
First thing I would ask on this is are you wanting to keep the core tone of the bass, or add in flavour. If the former I’d look at MXR, be it M80 or M81, from my experience their preamp DIs retain their core sound of the bass. If wanting to add flavour I’d look at Tech21 Sansamp, be it Bass Driver, Para Driver or VTDI, all are great.

I have a Wenger rucksack and laptop case for my leads & pedals. Not cheap but they have plenty of compartments so instead of all lumped in together I can put amp leads in one section, instrument leads/pedals in another, and in the laptop case, amp in another. Really tough durable material so provides good protection.
