Mid week bump -
Chuffed for you, really good to hear
-
another bump
-
Gafbass put it so much better than me. I'm useless at reviews
-
A few years back, I replaced the seymour duncan pups in my Squier Vintage Modified Jazz with 64's. Money well spent and a very worthwhile upgrade. Actually the Seymour Duncans were a decent enough pup, although I just felt that the Wizards had a bit more to say for themselves and allowed me to be heard more clearly in the band that I was involved with at the time (five guitars and keys).

Loons, oh my word, I've just shuddered at the thought of some of the loon pants I had. Somewhere there is a pic of me gigging in a yellow pair with blue stitching. Sad thing is I thought I looked so damned groovy . They were teamed with a blue silk Jacket with red buttons and a large floppy Roger Glover type felt hat.

Always loved this number and of course the bass line. Respect to you John, singing Valli parts and playing bass

Thanks Jamie, I'll get the cheque in the post to you

bump again for a very lovely japanese body
-
If the pups are the only difference, I think I would be inclined to save the £200.
-
very good.
-
I'm not sure what wood it is, sorry.

bumped again
-
My daughter uses an Ibanez, not sure of the model but lower end of the range. Anyway it's light and sounds good. Has precision and jazz type pickups.

Morning Jessica and a very warm welcome. Now, go and venture up in to the cold, dark confines of your loft and rescue that poor lonesome bass.

[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1363696356' post='2015929'] If changing the parts has to be done, my recommendations would be: Pickup - Seymour Duncan Quarterpounder (for the music-type mentioned) Bridge - Gotoh (reasonable in cost, look roughly the same, but very good quality) [/quote] I'm with Lozz, fitted both of those items to my last p bass build and was thoroughly delighted. Probably will need to duck for cover now but I think that the Gotoh is far better and also more pleasing to look at than the Badass. I've had both and would never again spend out the ridiculous ammount that the Badass units command these days.
-
I think I would get some wood filler (what my Dad called Brummer) in the nearest colour to the body. Sure I've seen this bass recently, was it Ebay? Anyway, it's looking better already.

I recall seeing them at the Sundown, Edmonton in 1973. Still got a Hawkwind badge purchased on the night. Met their very well endowed dancer that night, but being a tongue tied awkward teenager I said nothing and stared at her chest

Very good luck with it, hope it goes well for you.

A bump for the weekend visitors.

It's always a pleasure to provide a nod in your direction John.

Have you paid your fee? -
I'm slightly reluctant to let this go because it is such a decent p bass body but funds are needed for an amp purchase and with no source of income I need to sell stuff. It is a very good quality Japanese 57 R/I body from 1996. Remarkably good condition for its age, although there are a couple of small chips to the paintwork by the neck pocket, visible in the pics below. Some slight buckle type rash on the rear, not bad enough to show up in the pics. Otherwise all good. Cavities have been properly screened. A good resonant body, dont know what wood it is but weighs in at a reasonable 5lb 4oz. I used it for a home build with seymour duncan quarter pounders and it sounded marvelous. Played three gigs with it and received plenty of compliments from band mates and even some of the audience. Selling for [s]£150 [/s] £140.00 which includes p&p with Royal Mail. Happy for it to be collected in which case the price will of course be adjusted. I'm in Hertfordshire (about 15 mins from junction 25 of M25.
