Hi all, To make room for some recent purchases, I'm selling my Fender Japan Factory Special Run Jazz Bass. This is a MIJ reissue of a 62 Jazz, but the body and neck are stained to look like Walnut. As it's a Factory Special Run, I believe it means they're a limited edition run of basses, and I haven't seen too many around. The bass has an ash body and maple neck with rosewood fingerboard, and I've owned since January this year when I bought it new from Promenade Music in Morecambe. Hardware is a smoky chrome and it has a single ply black pickguard which sets everything off nicely. Pickups are nice and powerful and everything sounds as it should do. Despite the back of the neck being lacquered, there's no 'stickiness' which was one of my concerns when I was first looking into buying the bass. One minor issue is on the neck joint where some of the paint has chipped off. This happened when I was removing the neck, but other than that, the bass is in excellent condition. I have attached a picture to show this. It's only small, maybe 6/7mm, but worth mentioning. I used to have a Schaller 3D bridge on this bass which required me to drill 2 extra bridge holes. These can't be seen with the bridge on and the work is clean so won't cause you any issues. It now has the original bridge back on. I don't have scales here, but it's pretty light - perhaps around 8-8.5lb. No issues with it on the strap. I paid £730 for the bass at the beginning of the year so I think the price point is about right, considering how little it's been used, as well as it being a special run. I also understand that Fender Japan is no longer producing instruments, so it'll be a rare old girl one day! Bass is for sale for £550 !!SOLD!! - I'm not looking for any trades thanks Please take a look at the pictures below. If anything, it's slightly darker in real life than the pictures show, however I think you'll agree it's a beautiful instrument. Collection is always welcome from Lancaster, or I can post it within the UK. I have a gig bag I can throw in as well.

Hi all, I'm moving on my Mighty Mite maple Jazz Bass neck. Recently imported from the States, it's never been installed on a bass and never had any hardware fitted so no screw holes. It's in brand new condition. It's got a satin finish so nice a quick, and has nice figuring in the maple. For sale for £70, can be picked up from Lancaster or can post to the UK for £10. Cheers for looking, here's a few pics.

Who can make me a Jazz body with custom pickup routes?
umcoo replied to umcoo's topic in Bass Guitars
Cheers guys. I had a guitarbuild body a while back and it needed work on the neck pocket to get it just right, so umming and arring about that. I did consider a Warmoth with no pickup routing done but might prove costly by the time I've got it over here then paid someone to route it for me. Just found this chap on ebay in Italy [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/usr/salvatoresalvo777"]http://www.ebay.co.uk/usr/salvatoresalvo777[/url] seems like it may be an option... -
Hi all, Having a think about a new project to start. I'm wanting an Ash jazz body, top routed but with custom pickup routes. I've got a set of Gibson G3 pickups on their way which I want to use, but no company offers those routes. Anyone on here who builds bodies be able to help? Cheers

BOB,YOU ABSOLUTE STAR! We're in business! Can't thank you enough
-
Ok. Resistor moved to the board. Turned on and...LED doesn't light up. But!!! It comes on when I touch the LED. maybe a grounding issue? This build is killing me! It was meant to be an afternoon building it for a friend and it's turning into every weekend being a new disappointment
-
Ignore me...just had a support request response from the guy at Fuzzdog...resistor should be on the board and not the actual led. Currently warming up my soldering iron...will report back asap!

Thanks Bob... It's wired up exactly like the link says... http://pedalparts.co.uk/docs/Rodent-v2.pdf I've attached a few pics too. [URL=http://smg.photobucket.com/user/goat_punisher/media/DSC_0361_zpsi7ez86kz.jpg.html][IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v292/goat_punisher/DSC_0361_zpsi7ez86kz.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://smg.photobucket.com/user/goat_punisher/media/DSC_0365_zps6uonwp9p.jpg.html][IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v292/goat_punisher/DSC_0365_zps6uonwp9p.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://smg.photobucket.com/user/goat_punisher/media/DSC_0364_zps1imnqwlq.jpg.html][IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v292/goat_punisher/DSC_0364_zps1imnqwlq.jpg[/IMG][/URL] How would I check the switch is working with the meter? It's brand new so I'd hope it isn't faulty Resistor is a 2.2k. Grounds all look good to me. I could imagine it if the pedal didn't work and the LED didn't, but everything fine except that Thanks so much for your help
-
Hi DIYers, I need your help again. Rat circuit is working all fine, but the LED isn't coming on when pedal engaged. LED works [tested on a multimeter], orientated the right way, resistor is soldered fine and connections at board and switch are working. Legs are touching so nothing shorting out...no idea where to go next! Any ideas? Cheer all

[quote name='KingBollock' timestamp='1430681882' post='2763702'] Have you tried it in its metal enclosure? That always makes a surprising amount of difference, especially with dirt effects. Also, are you trying it with a battery or power supply? [/quote] I haven't actually, might try that first. Using a battery. Built a few pedals before and never had issues so hoping this might sort it
-
Need help DIYers. I'm building a Poodle Pedal Parts Rat for my friends birthday. Soldered all the parts in today [not switch/led/dc power] but connected it up as in the instructions to check the pcb was working as it should. There is effected sound coming through, but there's major hum - louder than the actual sound. Anything obvious I should be checking tomorrow? I'm thinking it'll be something to do with grounding perhaps? Cheers all

I had the same problem with a valve amp moving on a cab. I used a custom cut bit of closed cell foam from e-foam.com or something like that. Gaffa taped the foam too. Problem solved.

Aftermarket Jazz necks- any advice welcomed
umcoo replied to oh...it's_a_squier's topic in Bass Guitars
Mighty mite neck are pretty good and can get one for about £100. The internet suggests they may need a bit of fret work etc to be ok, but I imported one from the states and it was fine. I wouldn't buy a Fender neck if I were you, most of the cost is going on the name. Had a couple of Warmoths back in the day. They may be very slightly heavier than 'normal', but th custom options and quality make them superb IMO. You can also get them with graphite rods and slimmer options which will help with weight. Check out the for sale threads here too...something will come up pretty quickly and you'll get a good deal -
New amp day..........spend my money for me.........
umcoo replied to donslow's topic in Amps and Cabs
[quote name='donslow' timestamp='1427916537' post='2735919'] Excuse my idiocy here but how, if at all does it make a difference to the amp as a whole? [/quote] Many would argue it doesn't really. Solid state power sections can get quite nastily distorted [in a bad way] when pushed to their limits. Valve amps get nicely distorted and sound more harmonically richer/more full and alive/just better basically [imo] when pushed hard. I've had many versions of solid states and a fair few valve amps and much prefer valves. Best bet it go try and get to a decently stocked shop and try everything out. Good luck in your search! -

umcoo replied to donslow's topic in Amps and Cabs
Just to chip in, the SVT 4 isn't all valve. Has a valve in the preamp I believe, but not in the power section. Nice amp though! -
