Sold a scratch plate to Stoo. Really easy transaction and friendly communication - cheers!

[quote name='dlloyd' timestamp='1380280062' post='2223146'] I really like the original US SUBs. They were cancelled because there just wasn't enough margin in them to make them financially viable. The differences are mainly cosmetic. There's the big obvious things like the textured finish (saves on sanding and buffing) scratchplate and painted neck, but there's smaller details like the unbranded bridge (and tuners?), unfilled fret slots etc. They sound great all the same. There are a few different models: SUB 4 string active (2 band) SUB 4 string passive SUB 5 string active (2 band) SUB 5 string passive SUB Sterling The SUB Sterling is an interesting one in that it has an Alnico pickup as opposed to the ceramic pup in the Sterling... basically a Stingray in Sterling shape. [/quote] I've got a SUB Sterling and it also differs as it has a 3 band EQ. Cracking basses. The picture on my profile is my SUB 4 just fitted with a nicer scratch plate.

Might be of interest to a lefty wanting a project.... [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Encore-bass-guitar-/331077912488?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item4d15c807a8"]http://www.ebay.co.u...=item4d15c807a8[/url] £10 buy-it-now collect only in Newcastle

I got a piece of this ash of Nugget........that hasn't progressed much since either!! This wood is just gorgeous and this bass really shows it off. I too will be watching this thread to see how mine could look when I get round to it.

Done - good luck

Sold Sam a scratch plate. Really easy and friendly guy to deal with. Thanks!

Er, just found that I still have this book. Anyone want it?

Anyone fancy this DVD? Bought it from a charity shop a few weeks back but not quite my thing......

Cheers. I was just browsing and came across it. Kind of liked the look of it but it just looked plain wrong though I wasn't sure why!!

Fretless Fender bass on Preloved - any comments? I know nothing about Fender basses. It also looks fretted.. [url="http://www.preloved.co.uk/adverts/show/109176294/fender-p-bass-fretless-400-ono.html"]http://www.preloved....ss-400-ono.html[/url]

I'm sorry, I kind of quite like it.....

EMG Precision and Jazz Pickups on Pre-Loved - look quite cheap too at £30 each.

[quote name='steve-bbb' timestamp='1379445339' post='2212870'] it was sat in my shed since about mid 80s so has been well seasoned over 25+ years - i took it to local timber merchants who machine planed it flat for me and then i set about drawing up a CAD file to take it off to a local CnC router but alas things took a slightly different turn and as you can see jabba has made a rather nice job of it - and unique too, much more interesting than my plans for another boring old frankenJ [/quote] Must say thanks to Steve for this piece of wood that he put in the ‘Recycled’ section of this site. Elm is something I wouldn’t have considered previously but I think it looks rather nice. I will have another at the finish at some point as I’m not entirely happy with how it looks but I am really chuffed with how it sounds. I didn’t have a Jazz bass before but I do now; it’s a bit different and it plays and sounds really nice!! Cheers

Kev bought a body, neck and other parts from me. Completely hassle free and great communications. Thanks and hope you build something good from it. Cheers
