  1. [quote name='steve-bbb' timestamp='1380521578' post='2226394'] is there such a thing as a treble cut? there must be one somewhere and undoubtedly a whole degree of magnitude better than a double cut ... i bet it's good for metal [/quote] count them cuts, one, two, three. not sure what it's good for playing sorry, but I bet orangatangs can get the most from them
  2. what you call this then?
  3. [quote name='TheGreek' timestamp='1380403852' post='2224958'] Before I had one I wasn't a big fan...I got one, now I can see why people are...not adding much to the debate though... [/quote] did you get hold of the bass i think you did? ... [quote name='Jus Lukin' timestamp='1380465132' post='2225640'] Ok, ok, 'Singlecut' is a misnomer. Can we just get over the fact and accept that we all know what kind of basses we are discussing as' singlecuts'? Or should we start calling them Extended Body Range Basses for the avoidance of doubt? 'Bolt on' necks are actually screwed on, but we all seem to be cool with that. [/quote] the alpher singlecut that's been meantioned above would have a bolt on neck then... hex bolts and threaded inserts I think they use
  4. custom made UK cabs at the technological high end.... but cheaper than my cab if I had paid the ticket price..... I don't think that they are that daft a price new.
  5. Happily post anywhere within the EU and Norway. Ask me nice and maybe outwith the EU..
  6. [quote name='oldslapper' timestamp='1380449673' post='2225301'] These 80's SGs are seriously good guitars, and IMHO wonderfully consistent, in terms of build quality. I can't remember owning a "duff" yamaha guitar or bass. GLWTS. [/quote] I have no idea what GLWTS means, but thanks!
  7. This. Yamaha's answer to a Les Paul. sorry, Yamaha's mid range answer to a les Paul. 1984ish sounds great, plays great, coil tapped - i'm a bass player and it just gathers dust. More photos and details for anyone who wants them.... this is a bass forum so this advert might just gather dust.... I'm in Leeds, no hard case so posting may be a challenge. The clear out continues....
  8. Now £250! trades or offers listened too! Yeah! The clearout continues.... I love this bass - and it gets a lot more play time at the moment than my precision. It's fun to play and I'm sticking it up as I feel I should as part of my declutter but really wouldn't mind if no one was interested Why am I listing it again??? Traded last year, original owner also traded it and swapped necks of a Squier MIJ 1992 ish Precision and Jazz - so lovely MIJ Precision neck - the text Squier has been rubbed out, but I don't think it was a silver series, but from that era. The nut width is thinner than most precisions but wider than a jazz. The early 90's japanese Squiers have a good reputation but also have some kind of Basswood MDF stuff used to make the body, I bought a slightly downsized alder body, I painted it red and used that. The front of the body isn't as big as a regular Jazz bass so the neck was redrilled for 2 of the holes being in slightly different position. All hardware the same as came with the Squier body, except scratchplate and screws The ceramic pickups sound amazing - it's a jazz bass but a more lively slightly aggressive one that most sound. great bass, super fun to play. No case, in Leeds.
  9. Hello So this was my main bass for years - I love it, but find myself playing just my Warwick now, and have got used to the thinner nut width on that, I want to declutter from all the random music stuff I seem to have built up over the years so everything that doesn't get used is up for grabs. Short blurb: fairly rare and good condition 1982 JV Squier Precision Bass - possibly one of the best vintage reissues that has ever been made with the Fender logo on it. Lightweight at 9lb or so, a resonant instrument with a beautiful sound, just like the records we all grew up with (and a bit of grit off the maple fretboard if you dig in). I'll only stick two pictures up to save space - the only difference to the photos is I tracked down an original JV pickup with the raised A pole pieces which is currently installed. Hiscox hard case with a bit of heat damage. More photos and details available for interested folk. £990 (some Text borrowed from Warwickhunt's listing cheers ) [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Sorry, no offers on the price and though I will listen to part-ex or trade offers. Older Warwicks esp thumbs would interest me, as would some modern jazz bass types...(try me) however in most cases I would trade to sell it on so will listen to trade ideas so long as it is priced such that I can sell it on here straightaway for whatever price you value it at. If I think that a bass offered wouldn't realistically sell quickly on here at your price or just doesn't interest me, please don't be offended if I decline your offer (not intending to be rude).

  11. [quote name='icastle' timestamp='1380300673' post='2223553'] Putting a link to your advert is fine, no problem there at all. Listing stuff you haven't advertised isn't. Linking to items on Gumtree\Ebay etc. isn't either. HTH [/quote] cool - thought I should ask
  12. [quote name='Ancient Mariner' timestamp='1380286617' post='2223291'] The APX series are good stage guitars, and the 8 should be one of the better models. As a bedroom guitar it would be OK, but un-amplified they can struggle a little with a crowd. Shame about the SG (I can mention it) and it's one I'd love to own, but have neither need nor cash for such an instrument right now. [/quote] Well I just paid my dues so I guess I can say now.... yep it's a lovely japanese Yamaha SG. I'm thinking that more stuff isn't the way to go, well guitar stuff anyway, two guitars sat not being played and needing to be sold is worse than one.... I've played the lower end of the APX range and wasn't blown away - I think I may stick the SG up on here again, see if anyone's interested and see what happens
  13. [quote name='ras52' timestamp='1380296625' post='2223467'] I'm possibly being a bit thick here: my excuse is that I was on a sabbatical from BC when the marketplace rules changed. I (of course) love BC, and also want to "thin out" the collection... but how do I "subscribe"? I don't want to dive in with listings and run up a bill of ad-hoc listing fees. [/quote] click the support basschat tab at the top of the page under the banner and all will become clear.... I've just subbed! woo but - can we put sales listings in our sigs? I remember it was against the rules, but folk still do it....
  14. I'm thinking as the reason i'm selling is to clear out space that swapping one thing for 3 things that are hard to sell wouldn't be a good idea
  15. Hey! so I'm trying to sell elsewhere an electric guitar I've got. * Been offered a MIK squier tele with new pup, a SD pickup booster pedal and a Yamaha APX8C acoustic. If I did trade I would probably keep them for a wee while then try and sell them on... but I know nothing about the Yamaha acoustic and google isn't being that helpful.... what's it like * I did try sell it on here earlier this year, little interest. And untill I pay my subs to basschat it's not fair to say what it is.
  16. I saw that seller the other day - lots of high end items at slightly more than what they should be - but I'm sure i've seen this one before http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/JAZZ-BASS-CUSTOM-MADE-NO-RESERVE-MADE-IN-ENGLAND-PART-EXCHANGE-WELCOME-/161111833356?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item2583037b0c
  17. [quote name='JapanAxe' timestamp='1380227810' post='2222660'] That'll be the 3 actual valves in the preamp! [/quote] that might have something to do with it
  18. [quote name='gjones' timestamp='1380226387' post='2222641'] I like the letter but after listening to the album again thought it was pretty bass light. All I can really hear is bass drum where the bass guitar should be. [/quote] the wife's marking french homeworks... dare I crank up in utero....
  19. Barefaced I think would be up there towards the top in available speaker cabs and the compact is a good cab. The LM2... is an amp I really can't stand the sound of - but it has lots of fans - and what it does it does really well. Is that the sound you're going for? Otherwise the RH450 will sound a bit like a digital amp pretending to be an SVT (not a bad thing) and will have lots of bells and whistles, and also compression and things going on to squeeze the most out of it's power rating. The Streamliner I know less about but again is supposed to be valvey sounding. So if you want to sound more valvey go for it.... otherwise... how old are your strings? try raising the pickup a smidgin? does turning the cab a different way in that room make a difference to the tone... ?
  20. http://imgur.com/a/p0tKn made me want to listen to the album!
  21. it is passive switching system - a while back I think I did read somewhere where someone had worked out what the different modes were. Natural tone, but nice options.... glockenklang? Oh and btw... the way that that switch is wired if you did get it fixed you could still add a preamp as well after it
  22. nice to see a bigger photo of that body than Facebook! It looks lush - I think it will overshadow the top! What's the neck wood again, I couldn't read it before
  23. pickups yes i think but they arent standard sizes
  24. yay! good for all of them. thanks guys and girls!
