Bump. Previous buyer pulled out as there is a paint chip on the top of the neck. Will post a picture later, dont know if it will make the sale of it impossible, or if would attract anyone to maybe sand it down. Will consider offers , or advice ! -

Just getting a feeler for my BB615. Its been delegated to backup use for quite a while now and just isn't getting played. I have just taken it to the luthiers for a new nut and a setup so will be in a very nice shape when back. Fraid as its at the luthiers, I cannot put any pics up until next week, hence feeler. No damage to it as far as i'm aware and would be looking for about £250 quid as they are around 400 new and It will be perfectly setup . No hard case and would prefer collection. (The bass is the same as this one : [url="http://web.mac.com/thepoptarts/bass_guitar_specialists/Yamaha_BB615_RR.html"]http://web.mac.com/thepoptarts/bass_guitar_specialists/Yamaha_BB615_RR.html[/url] )

Morning Bump

[quote name='Bobby K' timestamp='1317060800' post='1386224']Love my old B bass. They're very underrated I think. Was also my first attempt at a de-fret and I still use it today; sounds great! The de-tuner can be very handy too. Have a fellow owner's bump [/quote]Cheers for a bump. It is a quality instrument, straight as an arrow. Nice sound. I dont know how to tell if its a defret or not, not something I would know how to tell! As i said though, I'm a big guy and it just doesn't have enough meat for a guy like me to hold

Good Oh!

i aint sure if pictures are showing, its playing up a bit for me!

EDIT : PRICE DROP 175 £ Up for grabs here is a Fretless Hohner BBass4 . It is lined, and has a reasonably fresh set of d'addario lights on it. Features : Has a D-Tuner at the bottom which enables easy flick down into drop D (very useful) Has 2 band EQ (on same knob, the double one) Has Passive/active switch Fretless + Lined I am selling this as I just cannot get comfortable with it. The neck is quite simply too thin (front to back) for me that it hurts my wrists after about 5 minutes. Prolly fine for a Jazz player, but I play fat laklands / precisions I have no idea how much to value this at so i'm going to say that £200 is probably a fair price. I have no hard case so would prefer collection (cambridge), but happy to arrange a hard case + courier at buyers expense. pics below [url="http://s1235.photobucket.com/albums/ff428/gapiro/"]http://s1235.photobu...s/ff428/gapiro/[/url] [b][/b] the back has a piece of sticky tape on. Not sure why, has been there all the time i've owned it. Update: Previous buyer pulled out as I hadn't realised there was a slight paint chip on the top of the neck. I'll post a picture shortly.

[quote name='EssentialTension' timestamp='1316967305' post='1384952'] Here's one on ebay: [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Sunn-Mustang-Bass-Guitar-/260858235006?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item3cbc5cc87e"]http://www.ebay.co.u...=item3cbc5cc87e[/url] - £40 with 21 hours to go. [/quote] I meant a real fender
-
I emailed him asking for clarification earlier and here is what he said : It's from the management buyout of 1985. Fender sold it to them but took all the machies away, so they couldn't make new stuff. they had all the parts, which were sent over to Japan and put together there. All the parts are from the USA, but at that time they couldn't use the word Fender, but there is FMIC on the headstock making a real Fender. This only happened for about 2 months, I think, all other Sunn guitars or basses were made in other parts of the far east and many of them are not so well put together and use lower cost parts. The bass comes from parts made in 1984/85. sounds vaguely plausible
-
Yeah i thoguht it was a bit iffy when he said it. I trust the guy normally but just seems a bit odd. It was a sunn Mustang neck indeed jezzaboy. He was after £400 for it at mates rates so dunno. For that I wonder if I can pick up a real deal
-
Bit of an odd one. A friend whom I regularly jam with is selling a P-Bass that he claims to be from the CBS takeover of fender, made out of parts from the spares, and thus does not exist as far as fender is concerned. Im a bit out of my history on P Basses, I played it, it weighs a ton, has a neck with a "SUNN " decal on it. Bit lacking on info, but just wondering if this plausible? (I'm a bit behind on fender history!)

How much is this bass worth? Aka: Is it worth repairing/replacing parts?

gapiro replied to gapiro's topic in Bass Guitars
The problem with the tuner is that the previous owner sheared the bolt on the E string tuner somehow. and thus there is a chunk of metal lodged into the tuner hole. The chance of me finding an identical tuner is low, and I would find it far more aesthetically pleasing to have matching tuners. It has a bsolutely no sentimental value to me, i'm merely looking to fix it up and pass it on either to a friend who is just starting on bass , or to sell . -
Hi chaps. I'm looking at this bass I picked up from gumtree super cheap (40 quid). Realistically I need to get a new tuning peg. But being me, I would want to replace the entire set. Therefore, I am wondering if its worth spending the value of the bass again on a new set of keys? Anyway, its an Aria Pro II fretless RSB Special. I can't find anything about it on the internet, not even on the matsumoku project page. as far as the internet is concerned, it doesn't seem to exist. The colour doesn't seem to exist either. Its in mostly good nick, for an old piece of japcrap.Lots of MWAH sound. Ps, there is only two strings on because I was playing with the tuner pegs trying to see if they were fixable. So i guess if i replace the set of tuners, how much would I reasonably expect it to be worth? Not sure If i want to keep it as I have my super sexy mwahy hohner fretless I also find it bloody confusing to play as the Dots are at fret positions as opposed to in between. http://imageshack.us/g/718/img07341.jpg/

As a further to the previous post. I am thinking I need to get a set of new tuning keys. with the key as it is now, I can not remove the lodged metal, and I cannot make another hole there suitably. So im thinking that instead of having the tuning keys with the screws below them, is there any way I can put a set of tuning keys so the screw for them is towards the end of the neck, instead of towards the bridge?
-
Upon examination, It appears the old screw has sheared and is half in the hole. This leaves me more a problem. I managed to get some similar sized screws from the local ironmongers but do I drill another hole? or what?
