Selling my recently acquired wonderlove as I've no time to use it. Fromel etched edition. Bought to replace a 3 leaf Groove Regulator and, although it's harder to dial in, the results are outstanding! [url="http://s38.photobucket.com/albums/e136/Bigwan2062/?action=view¤t=IMAG0312.jpg"]Awesomely funky pedal[/url], and when I get back to playing more I'll get another one, but my backup micro q tron will suffice in the meantime. Please note this pedal doesn't run on batteries and no psu is included. £140 posted. SOLD Also have the following for sale due to lack of use: Mooer ElecLady flanger. [url="http://www.mooeraudio.co.uk/p/mooer-electric-lady-pedal"]Details here[/url]. As new condition. Tiny. £30 posted. SOLD! Harley Benton BEQ-1 7 band graphic eq. [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/harley_benton_beq1.htm"]Details here[/url]. Excellent boss clone, metal enclosure. As new. £15 posted. Artec Parametric Eq. [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/artec_parametric_eq.htm?sid=f5272565e71ec95979bbc4f25e44dd01"]Details here[/url].Single band. Bought it as a cheap alternative to an EWS BMC. As new. £17 posted. Payment by bank transfer or PayPal gift. Trade-wise I'm after a fairly cheap maple necked precision, a maple boarded p-bass neck, a mahogany p-bass body (finished) or some thunderbucker pickups (long shot!) -
SOLD: Fender Roadworn Jazz - Sunburst/Rosewood/Tortie/Wizard Hammers
Bigwan replied to warwickhunt's topic in Basses For Sale
Lovely basses. Sold mine a fortnight ago and, despite swearing off jazzes, I'm missing it already... -
And now that idea has run into problems too... Steve @ thunderbucker is happy enough that the pickups can handle the spacing, but while doing a little measuring I noticed something. [Url=http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o225/Thornmoon/Basses/Lakland/DSCN0068_zps315addc3.jpg]This[/url] is a Lakland 55-64. Compare that to [url=http://cdn.mos.musicradar.com/images/Product%20News/Guitar/jan11/fender-namm/fender-american-special-precision-bass.jpg]a standard 20 fret p-bass[/url]. Considering I'm hoping to achieve something like [url=http://bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Lull_PT5_files/PT5Top.jpg]this[/url] in layout. It seems that Lakland have 2 different versions of pickguard on the 55-64 and I have the one that'd make fitting a bridge humbucker look a bit messy... Still possible if I don't mind changing the bridge to get the bridge pickup situated right, or fashioning a new pickguard the same as the alternate lakland variety, which incidentally would leave 2 pickguard screw holes out in no man's land... Back to the drawing board me thinks...

Further to this madness I've hatched a further nutty one... and I blame BRX (and some time spent on that other site where folk talk about basses - makes me feel dirty spending too much time there, but I digress). Having visited the Lull site more than once and laying eyes on [url=http://mikelull.com/images/basses/jt524/03-gallery.jpg]this loveliness[/url] I'm starting to wonder whether the rather good Lakland 5 string P I have for sale wouldn't be a better home for a pair of thunderbuckers... An email has been sent to Steve at thunderbucker ranch to check his 5 string pickups will handle the spacing. Also the tokai t'bird landed today - nice bass for the dough. HUGE headstock. Big chunky neck, very oldschool precision like. HUGE headstock. Silly low action with light strings. Did I mention the HUGE headstock?

[quote name='machinehead' timestamp='1382274780' post='2249898'] That must sound superb given the spec and knowing Alex's fantastic engineering skill. Don't know if you (or anyone else?) would know how this would fare if it were to replace both my Compact and Midget? Having said that I'm still really happy with my setup even after several years of use - and they still look as good as new. Frank [/quote] I've just put a deposit down on a BB2 Frank. Once it arrives we should have ourselves an NI mini bash!

Final price drop. £500 plus postage.

Wish you'd put this up on Friday! Bought a tokai t'bird to see if I could get on with the shape but it was a fenderbird I was after... I'll have a wee think...
-
Excuse me while I pick my jaw up off the floor...
-
I didn't like the 2nd clip. The first was most pleasing though.
-
Taken a punt on a tokai t'bird on evilbay as a modding platform to add thunderbuckers to. If it doesn't fit me I should be able to get shot of it here nice and cheap.
-
Up we go!

[quote name='Kev' timestamp='1381945953' post='2245923'] I imagine it will be B3K/Vintage priced. To be honest, I am more interested in the 3Leaf offering [/quote] With you there Kev. Love the 3 leaf stuff, and Spencer has an octave on the drawing board too...

Starting to wonder if I should put these in my USA fender... No must resist! I had an sq series squier until recently that I sold in a fit of madness. It would have been perfect as it had been pretty molested by the previous owner anyway. I know what you're saying BRX, but a Lull is out of the question, I'm not gonna buy a t-bird as I'm scared of the ergonomics not suiting me (and they're a bit too "look at me!") and, as pointed out, the thunderbuckers are probably the cheapest t-bird style pickups while still seeming to be excellent quality. May be worth more than the bass I would end up putting them in, but it wouldn't be the first time! I'd probably do the unthinkable and have a rattle at modding the donor bass myself to fit the pickups.

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1381869238' post='2244875'] [url=http://www.mikelull.com/site/instruments/basses/bass-PT4_PT5.html]Here you go...[/url] [/quote] Yeah as I said I've been perving over those on the bassdirect site. Alas I don't have 2 grand spare! I was thinking more of dropping thunderbuckers into an MIJ fender P or similar...
-
If you like your current sound what model are you running on the Line6?
-
Prompted by a combination of reading a few Fenderbird threads, drooling over some Lulls on the bassdirect site (thunderbirds and his PT series) and my recent falling out with all things jazz bass, I've had another mad idea. How about fitting thunderbuckers to a precision? Although I have a p bass already (2 if you count my Lakland 5 string) another would never go amiss, especially with a pair of dirty Gibson-esque pickups. Is this totally nuts? Anyone tried it? I could just get a thunderbird I suppose, but I'd be a bit nervous of the ergonomics having never tried one.

Don't know what it'll sound like, but it'll be the same as every other tech 21 product... Late...

BB2 deposit paid this morning... -
Count me in. I'd say 4 as well.

I was talking with Howard about a 60's ish precision build, but I'd almost managed to talk myself into being sensible... This sort of thing isn't helping... Down with this sort of thing!
