  1. [quote name='Bilbo' timestamp='1436951507' post='2822230'] My wife bought an Orla Kiely handbag (£350) in a charity shop for £3. [/quote] My wife loves Orla Kiely handbags/purses but doesn't like shopping in charity shops, I suspect this might make her change her mind.
  2. [quote name='afterimage' timestamp='1436983184' post='2822584'] Wow what a bass lovely Finnish the neck is a u shape profile the pups are really nice sounding [/quote] Not the most detailed of reviews Glad you are enjoying it though.
  3. [quote name='HazBeen' timestamp='1436773657' post='2820512'] I am going to call today, try to get a ETA. Not impatient or anything, but I need to track some new songs soon....... [/quote] So what was the news H?
  4. Have you checked the slot in the nut? Intonation can be affected. A little graphite (pencil lead) rubbed in the groove can help.
  5. I get the same problem when I play thin necked basses. It's one of the things that put me off J's for a while. I found it went away when I got older 60's and 70's models Need to buy yourself a decent oldie mate
  6. Hi Alex. I have a couple of mates who are very good. They came along and set up, did FOH and recorded us at a recent gig. We are still in the process of mixing the tracks but so far we are happy with the results, certainly not bad for a live recording. You can have a listen here if you want to get some idea: https://soundcloud.com/defunkt-band Let me know and I can make contact and see if they are available for you.
  7. [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1436711412' post='2820106'] A total delight, and the very rare dot/bound/lollipop variant, as you say. Lovely condition, just the right amount of wear and some delicious tort. GLWTS! Where's Rumple? I think this may be his YOB bass! [/quote] Got to love the tort from this period [quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1436714934' post='2820128'] Didn`t expect that Gary, still if you`ve your eye on something else, something has to give. GLWTS - not that I think you`ll need it for this beauty. [/quote] Thanks Lozz [quote name='Chiliwailer' timestamp='1436715399' post='2820133'] Wow Gary, great refin on that one and an awesome set of cool features GLWTS [/quote] It is a beaut Dan, thanks and light enough for your shoulders
  8. I've had 70's Fenders with part of the logo under a tuner bushing.
  9. The link doesn't help me Alex. Check that you have entered the price correctly in the trade value box. Don't use any commas, full points etc. just the figure.
  10. That's the second very lovely Ibanez to appear today.
  11. That is a good looking instrument.
  12. The Stratosphere have a few. I've bought quite a few items from them, all good but you may well get hit with duty charges etc. http://www.stratosphereparts.com/search.php?search_query=Fretless+neck
  13. I looked at this bass at the Herts bash a few weeks back and very much liked what I saw.
  14. Just keep an eye on Ebay, that's what I've been doing for the last few weeks. Last week a Manson Custom fretless neck appeared, with a not too bad BIN price, so I snapped it up. The Ebayer you mention did have a fretless on a couple of weeks back.
  15. Hello, good to meet you Welcome back to the world of bass.
  16. [center]For sale, my lovely, 1966 Sunburst Fender Jazz.[/center] [center]With original Hardcase.[/center] [center]Not really sure I want to sell this as I am starting to enjoy Jazzes, but I do like chopping and changing and I’ve got my eye on another sixties one. This may get withdrawn if I miss out on the other one, or if I just change my mind.[/center] [center]This is a very good example of these increasingly rare dot and bound Jazz basses, only produced for a few months in 1966.[/center] [center]It is a pleasure to play and the neck feels great and there are no dead spots.[/center] [center]Lollypop tuners.[/center] [center]Very clean neck, dated 7[sup]th[/sup] Jan 66.[/center] [center]Frets and board are in excellent condition.[/center] [center]Neck Binding is perfect.[/center] [center]Headstock in very good condition.[/center] [center]Width at nut is approx. 38mm.[/center] [center]Fretboard radius is 7.25[/center] [center]Weight is just 8lbs 12oz.[/center] [center]The lovely tort guard has not cracked or suffered any breaks and is only showing very minimal shrinkage.[/center] [center]Neck pocket is a nice tight fit.[/center] [center]Hardware is all original.[/center] [center]The pots are original and function perfectly.[/center] [center]The pickups have been rewound by Voodoo in the U.S. using period correct wire and winding. The voicing is great and they sound so good, either blended or used separately.[/center] [center]The paintwork has been refinished in period correct target sunburst nitro finish, to an extremely high standard. The finish has now aged again in a pleasing fashion and it’s hard to believe it’s not original.[/center] [center]The case is scruffy but functional, the catches and hinges are intact and function as they should.[/center] [center]Although not shown in the photos, the original chrome covers and screws are included, I just hadn't re fitted them for the photo shoot.[/center] [center]Selling at £3,250[/center] [center]I’m not in a rush, so at the moment the price is firm.[/center] [center]I’m not really looking for trades other than for a good sixties P bass and ideally not a sunburst, as I already have one.[/center] [center]The above price does not include postage costs, as I much prefer collection with instruments of this vintage and value, we can however, discuss postage and insurance options if necessary.[/center] [center]Cash on collection or bank transfer.[/center] [center]I can accept Pay Pal but wouldn’t want to be hit with the fees.[/center] [center]I’m in Hertfordshire and happy for BC’ers to arrange a visit to try it out.[/center] Any questions let me know.

  17. A good basic talk on understanding Ohms and wattage would be a good thing I would have thought. Also the basics of Eq'ing and how to cope with different stages and venues.
  18. [quote name='lojo' timestamp='1436681774' post='2819882'] I use 2 markbass 210s at 8ohms each , much more versatile than a 4ohm 410, for me at least I can take just 1 x 210 to rehearsals etc and it's easier to carry [/quote] Exactly the same for me
  19. Nice one. I almost treated myself to one of his fretless P's, would have liked that in white.
  20. That is a looker Dan, enjoy mate.
  21. [quote name='Bassassin' timestamp='1436613214' post='2819503'] In what way? J. [/quote] I've just generally found it much more effective than T cut, when used on instruments. I've used it on a couple of pick guards for example, brought them up like new. Completely polished out some buckle rash on one of my P basses. I've used both and actually still have T Cut in my cleaning kit box but now days I always go for this product. The first batch was given to me, once I had used that up I immediately replaced it. Even though it is not cheap, I just felt it was money well spent.
