Yes - I'm pretty sure that's the winning price. So the buyer did very well - that's a good price for a '60 Jazz. [quote name='Sibob' post='841979' date='May 19 2010, 01:03 PM']Did it actually go for that?? Does a reserve still show up as 'not reached' even when the auction has ended? Si[/quote]

[quote name='HMX' post='840703' date='May 18 2010, 11:59 AM']Pure jazz growl - particularly noticeable on the low E sections around 0:36. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9TB_fi1fB3k"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9TB_fi1fB3k[/url][/quote] Yep - spot-on. That's nailed it for me. Though I think he uses a [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r8YLDb2hiLU"]pair of Dark Stars in his Jazz here[/url]?

Ash is a splendid fellow. Delivered a great bass cab tonight - which was EXACTLY as described. No problems, no fuss, just a great deal with a top class basschatter. Highly recommended!

"it will go in the back of a medium sized hatch no problem, although heavy one person can lift it although I wouldn't advise it."

Looks genuine to me - with an honest description. Though, would always want to see it all in the flesh before parting with the cash. An ideal candidate for a nice restoration & body re-fin. Is probably a really great player's bass - from an outstanding year for Fender basses. Yes £3K would be a fair price IMHO.

[quote name='derrenleepoole' post='784888' date='Mar 24 2010, 05:57 PM']It is rather good, and while the screen is small for some chord charts, it's usability and ease of use make it an essential tool for the gigging musician. Perhaps there should be a sticky for really useful apps, this being one of them?[/quote] The Peterson iPhone app is awesome - [url="http://www.petersontuners.com/index.cfm?category=150&page=1"]iStroboSoft[/url] - turns your iPhone into a Peterson strobe tuner.

[quote name='Musky' post='788291' date='Mar 28 2010, 01:23 AM'] Tune-o-matic was the sellers actual ebay user name wasn't it? And oddly enough the Jazz bass that was constantly relisted by someone trying to expose him as a supposed fraud was CAR as well. Perhaps he only had a little left over. [/quote] Yeah - this is the other account of infamous Tune-o-matic.... where he sells the parts he doesn't 'allegedly' use in his 100% original super-expensive vintage guitar auctions. Check out the other stuff for sale - a choco bass case for $2,500.

[quote name='Toasted' post='784567' date='Mar 24 2010, 12:09 PM']I read back my post this morning and it sounds very anti-power conditioner. It's not ment to be - what I mean is if you want to use one because it lights up your rack, and provides and easy rack-mountable set of sockets for you to plug in all your great then it's great. If you want to use one for the conveniance, then I think you should - but I would never say you NEEDED one as if they were essential.[/quote] I've got a Furman power conditioner that I got cheap off eBay (they quite often get sold off with recycled server racks) - as Joe suggests...just to use as an easy rack-mountable set of sockets. I took the top off to have a look inside, expecting to see at least some sort of hardware that would be doing the power conditioning 'magic'. All I could see was a set of main sockets! Most of the rest of the inside of the case is...empty. But it is very hand in a rack for plugging other bits into...

[quote name='dangerboy' post='784612' date='Mar 24 2010, 12:47 PM']Little known fact about the RE-20: The capsule has a lifetime guarantee on it. I picked up a couple of them from different eBay sellers, both of which didn't sound quite right. I sent them to EV's UK distributor, who fully serviced them, replaced the capsules and all the foam, and posted them back to me. All for no charge. They sound amazing now, super-articulate.[/quote] Very cool. I didn't know that. I've got an RE-27 that I got off eBay...mmmm.

Many thanks for the review - for that price that's got to be worth a punt! Where did you get yours from? [quote name='basstard' post='778333' date='Mar 18 2010, 09:55 AM']Just got one. Tracks pretty well - not as good as a Roland GK equiped bass - but fast enough to record or gig with. It's VERY easy to use, doesn't mess up your bass, is smaller than a fag packet and is quite cheap to buy (£70ish). Highly recomended![/quote]
