Do you own a multi-meter? If so, you should use it to check continuity. Not all copper tapes are right for shielding/screening.

[center]G&L SB2 1989.[/center] [center]Didn’t think I would be doing this but circumstances change and so I’m selling my Vintage U.S. SB2.[/center] [center]I honestly think a better example would be hard to find. Twenty seven years old, in amazing, almost as new condition.[/center] [center]With its original hard case, key and tools.[/center] [center]Hang tag and registration card.[/center] [center]Completely original.[/center] [center]Ash body with sunburst finish.[/center] [center]Black crinkle coated aluminium pick guard.[/center] [center]Maple neck and fret board.[/center] [center]Radius: 7.25”[/center] [center]Width at nut: 38 mm.[/center] [center]Weight: 8lb 14 oz.[/center] [center]Magnetic Field Design Precision neck pick up.[/center] [center]Magnetic Field Design Jazz bridge pick up.[/center] [center]This is a very impressive gigging bass. The MFD pick ups ensure that it can always be clearly heard, every note is articulate and clear.[/center] [center]There is no tone control on this bass, just a volume control for each of the pups.[/center] [center]I thought that this might be a problem and that I would need to have it modified. It wasn’t the case though, as the amount of tonal variation and volume on offer, by just blending the two pups, is huge. It can go from vintage Precision or Jazz, through to full on aggressive modern (I know, not the best description of a sound). Just a little tweaking of the controls really does impact on the tone/volume output.[/center] [center]Bodywork/finish is almost pristine, there are a couple of slight blemishes not significant enough to show up in the photos.[/center] [center]The fretwork is very good, no wear, no sharp edges, no buzzing, no dead spots.[/center] [center]Neck has the micro tilt adjuster, so no shims ever required.[/center] [center]All the hardware is top quality.[/center] [center]Everything functions perfectly.[/center] [center]The hard case offers a high level of protection and is also in excellent condition.[/center] [center]I haven’t as yet taken any under the hood shots or with the neck off. I’m reluctant to as I don’t think anything has been disturbed since being built. I wouldn’t want to lose a sale over it though, so let me know if this is a problem.[/center] [center]My asking price is £995[/center] [center]Cash or Bank Transfer.[/center] [center]Sorry but not interested in any trades at the moment, other than a Barefaced Cab, maybe.[/center] [center]I would be much happier for the buyer to collect from my place in Herts but I will post if necessary.[/center] [center]If posting is required please advice and I will get a quote to you.[/center] [center][url="https://flic.kr/p/zwCzX4"][/url][/center] [center][url="https://flic.kr/p/yyJhdU"][/url][/center] [center][url="https://flic.kr/p/zvKTyx"][/url][/center] [center][url="https://flic.kr/p/ze9VGQ"][/url][/center] [center][url="https://flic.kr/p/ze9Qo3"][/url][/center] [center][url="https://flic.kr/p/ztriLS"][/url][/center] [center][url="https://flic.kr/p/ze9gz7"][/url][/center] [center][url="https://flic.kr/p/ze7tqN"][/url][/center] [center][url="https://flic.kr/p/ze7gVU"][/url][/center] [center][url="https://flic.kr/p/ze7bNQ"][/url][/center] [center][url="https://flic.kr/p/yyGn3h"][/url][/center] [center][url="https://flic.kr/p/zefJ2z"][/url][/center] [center][url="https://flic.kr/p/zefDnV"][/url][/center] [center][url="https://flic.kr/p/zuFVtq"][/url][/center] [center][url="https://flic.kr/p/zvHii2"][/url][/center]

[quote name='Twincam' timestamp='1459525053' post='3017427'] What do you mean. I've been out since midday comparing my fingers to various sized sausages so he can get the string spacing exactly where I want it! That's correct procedure right? [/quote] Sorry. Have to say you have gone above and beyond. I salute you with my non sausage fingers.

Shouldn't this sort of caper stop at midday?

A pleasure to deal with Mike again. Just like last time, a very smooth transaction and no messing about. Another of the Bass Chatters that I'm very happy to recommend.

Looks like a very handsome example there Nick.

[quote name='GregBass' timestamp='1459280335' post='3015126'] I run a pair of BB2s - a superb combination. If you are anywehere near me, feel free to give me a shout to try them. [/quote] Thanks Greg, very kind. There was a time when I was in your neck of the woods a fair bit but not anymore.

Well I hope it thoroughly cheers you up

Hmmm indeed.

A few years back my daughter and I both had VM Jazzes. Identical to look at but very different in weight, hers being much heavier than mine.

[quote name='dave_bass5' timestamp='1459203532' post='3014476'] You are also welcome to borrow my BB2 for a gig or two if you want to try it. Smaller than the Supertwin though, but for places like pubs (ive seen the video Fran shot) i think it would also work really well. [/quote] Very kind Dave, thanks

[quote name='Grangur' timestamp='1459172911' post='3014069'] You're always welcome to try my One10 if that's any help. [/quote] Thanks for the offer Rich. May well give you a call.

Thanks for all the responses, much appreciated.

I've been toying with the idea of a change of cab again, don't really need to but I've been fancying a Barefaced for a while now. Anyway, Alex at Barefaced has recommended the Super Twin and having read the specification, I really like that recommendation. So if I can sell a couple of instruments, I shall probably place an order. I'm just interested to hear from any Super Twin owners on their thoughts/experiences with this model. Please don't turn this into a Barefaced bashing, I'd hate to have to lock my own thread

[quote name='TheGreek' timestamp='1459025077' post='3013018'] I was a mere few months old when this was made - looks better than I do for our age...GLWTS [/quote] Tim for another bump It would be good if someone were to buy this soonish, as I still play it everyday and each time think it is a lovely thing and maybe I should keep it and go for a re-fin.

What a pleasing photo to look at
