That's utterly, utterly fab of you thanks so much!

Incidentally I need a couple of the scews that go in the back of the machine heads, the big ones that hold them together, or failing that a couple of large based elepant ears, anyone got any I just sold all my flippin spares ..d'oh!

Scuse me! Lol, I've not even been drinking but I do have a HUGE migraine!

cheers dude id love that!
Where is bassassin?, its not normally this long a japcrap thread stays this quiet!
It def seems to be of a much higher quality than most. the brass plate under the pickups is very nicely wired up and the finish is much thinner than the modern thick ones.

I just picked this up from ebay I was expecting it to be something like an encore etc, but its clearly older. Its very worn and the neck is massive it came in a nice old hard case too, and despite the massive hum i get in my house it sounds fine. I cant get the action super, super low as i like, but certainly low enough! if i go too low it makes the very top of the neck choke out.

Anyone got any ideas what it is?, its very aged although i have cleaned it up rather. I cant seem to shield it as well i can my jazzes, ive covered the cavities in self adhesive shielding stuff from basspartsresource as i do on my jazzes but it still picks up all the dimmer switch noise in my house (goes away to some extent when i touch the strings) Should i get one one of those 'eliminator plates' for P bass they have on basspartsresource? Anyone tried one?, do they go under the pickguard?

I want to fit an anodised gold pickguard but I cant seem to find one, anyone either got one going or know where i can get one at a decent price?

The previous owner has stripped the headstock and i cant make out what it said before, the pics are off my phone so not great, my first thought was sumbro but im no expert!
It seems very solid and well built the neck pocket has a B in it, and the pups say S and N on the bottom.

Any ideas?, there is also a truss rod access cutaway.
im very pleased with it but would like to make it better and find out more if i can.

photobucket is just crashing my browser so im gonna have to do the pics like this for now:

see flickr album below (my first linky thing hooray me!!)

Lol I already own several jazzes and play in a tribute band now and then! D'oh!

But it's supposed to have a graphite neck, 24 frets, six strings and a fully active pre-amp with emg's isn't it?!!?!
I'm going through all these strange changes, I'm not sure I understand anything anymore! And I've started to think about girls! (especially Carol Smillie?) :-)

First I actually ASKED for slippers for Christmas and now I have started to think about a nice sunburst precision?!!!??
Noooooooo!

I've even decided that the two bands I'm in (check my sig! Esp useless wooden toys!) will be my last originals bands!!

I always wondered when I got 'bass old' and I consider this to be it! I'm even happier having LESS basses than I did!!

If anyone has a sunburst fender or squier p going über cheap or fancies a partial swap for my cheap sixer, now might be the time to pm me before I have further crisiis (how exactly do you spell cry-seas??) and decide I need a flying v in metallic blue or something!

On another note try to be hold of the album kon and amir off track vol 1 - the Bronx, Serious funk bass heaven!

Smokescreen even

That's a good idea. The autobot is the 'alternators' version of smokestream he transforms into a wrc subaru impreza.
I'd also swap the bass for a decent natural finish pref ash jazz body. With cash if reqd.

Boink. If anyone has a hartke vxl bass attack AND a boss cs3 I'd swap for the pair.

I really do much but the action is nice so I wouldn't envisage problems mate. The active eq with sweepable kids would help with cut through.

Well ive had this less than a week and actually really love it, but i realised after playing for a short time why i had given up playing sixers after i left Balance of Silence, about the same time i started to get agonising pains in my wrist which was exacerbated by playing the six ( i have tiny, tiny hands)

..and the pain still comes straight back when i play one so thats that idea down the pan!

So i bought this like less than a week ago at time of writing from here and now cant really play the darn thing!...GUTTED!

Its in excellent nick with some light scratches on the front. Its had mainly studio use apparently and ive cleaned it up, gorgomyted the frets and done a full set up so its has a fast, low action, and sounds meaty as hell!

It has a lovely quilt maple top under the glossy deep blue finish and a nice flamed maple section in the centre of the laminate neck (which has resisted all attempts to photograph despite being really very flamey!)






Id be interested in trades for fours, probably squiers such as a classic vibe p or j or mexi fenders or interesting things or a sale at £250 but its really gotta be either collection only or courier during half term (week commenceing 16th Feb)

All still going mate paypal is fine

Back for sale but it's really looking like collection only I'm afraid. I may possibly be able to post during half term(week commencing 16th feb)

bump!

Godamn it, every single time I do that!? What the hell is wrong with me?

I'm selling a shine sb-26 six string bass in sorta wine red with two humbuckers, active eq and gold hardware in good nick for £85 collected from me in Cheltenham, could prob post for a ton I guess but not till haplf term (week commmencing Feb 16th) Its well set up with no issues apart from needed sone brighter strings imho.
Its sounds nice and burpy and is a joy to play, a really impressive bass for the cash to say the least, its really rather fab!

heres the pics i bought it from:




some i took:

I just put a new pre wired cheapo control plate on a cheap jazz copy after messing up the last one with my awful wiring. And despite it all apparently being wired correctly both pickups work fine but the tone works as a master volume, all I did to the tone was solder the bridge earth to the chassis?
I tried swapping the little green doo dah (capacitor?) for the old one but it's still a volume, it's not the end of the world but is it something else I've done, would soldering the pick up wires back to front cause it? Cause mine are different colours to the diagram I've used. They both work fine, no phase problems when both on or anything??
I suck!

no it's buggered, never gonna be able to fix that,it's just gonna take up space, tell you what I'm in Cheltenham even though I don't play fivers I'll do a fellow basschatter a favour and take it off your hands I'll even sling you a pint for it how's that?

Btw was the trb the one from Aroundabout?

Owned two, sold two, gutted want em back lol, great basses I still have a graphite necked jazz though.

I love it and can't wait fir the next one every time I finish the last.

I'm another one that'd be replacing Billy Gould.

My first one cut out for short periods from new, proel sent a new one straight away.

Thanks dude, I reeeeeally need to learn to drive
