SOLD - Frankenjazz Nordstrand Big Singles REDUCED AGAIN £250
sifi2112 replied to sifi2112's topic in Basses For Sale
Put schaller strap lock on & tested ... doh ! A little bit of neck dive .. not loads but hadn't thought of that initially. Light weight tuner upgrade was on the list but can't keep throwing money at this. As to postage ... I don't have a hard case so would prob have to take neck off & try find a box to fit both parts. -
I agree ! GK400RB changed my view as well ... I've paired my BF S12T with GK 700RB-II (bi-amped so cab has no crossover) .. what a sound ! Such a pity it's also collecting dust as I'm no longer in a band ... keeping just in case I find / join / start something new but no luck so far.

I did it on this jazz for a 'road worn' effect .... http://basschat.co.uk/topic/186662-fs-frankenjazz-with-nordstrand-big-singles-l250-pickup/page__fromsearch__1 -
I've had Nordstand Big Singles (sort of soapbar) put in 3 of my basses ... two of em are jazz basses (still single coils) .... no regrets at all tho I'm no expert or pro but have tried different pickup types active & humbuckers etc & always come back to single coils. just my 2c

Though heavy it balances just fine .. never had an issue of neck dive etc (do recommend a broad padded strap) ... not keen on shipping this really, for starters I only have a gig bag so not much protection. I could buy a hard case just for this purpose .. buyer would have to arrange/pay for shipping. Would prefer the potential buyer to come try out first to make sure they like the bass .. althought it's really lovely & sounds great the weight might be an issue ... so not a total 'no' on intl.shipping but like I said it would have to possibly be arranged & certainly covered (shipping & insurance) by buyer ....

Hi all ... here's an update / price change (4th Nov 12) - [s][b]REDUCED £300[/b][/s] (26/11/12) .. [b]reduced again £250[/b] (08/01/2013) [b]SOLD[/b] This bass has just had it's frets levelled & controls pots wired by Fraser Callum in Leeds .. great work again Fraser thanks ! The action is much better & the controls are as follows .. (knobs/pots taken off my Dingwall ABZ) - volume - selector switch (bridge / br+n series / br+n parallel / br+n series out-of-phase / neck) - tone Sounds great .. just love those Big Singles ! Plays really nice, action not too low or high. Lower horn incurred a slight dent (see pic) & neck also has a couple of very slight ones but hardly noticeable. I was gonna sand them out & then coat with tru-oil. The spalted maple is prone to marks/dents as it's quite soft. The tru-oil has hardened nicely but only offers so much protection. Just bear that in mind if you're the type that 'abuses' your basses. Was also asked whether it suffers from neck dive (being so light). I actually tested both my 4 string jazzes that I've up for sale & they both do suffer from neck dive whist seated, Paulman jazz has a very heavy dense body but also 'dives' seated but not at all with a strap on. Will put some strap locks on this frankenjazz and test it later .. will post what happens. Yes, the price has gone up but you still get a nice bass for your money imho ... still making a loss at this price but this is the sign of the times Any more info or pics just txt me or email ([email protected]) Hi all, Some of you might have seen some of my posts selling pups / neck etc ... well I decided to put all these parts on the original project as I've now finished the body. This was initially a jazz but I've shaped the horns more SG like. Actually had a bit of trouble with this as the body is made up of half mahogany / half spalted maple. The spalted maple was quite 'brittle' to work with & I just couldn't get a perfect curve on the horns but it's not that obvious & doesn't affect. I've stained the body then finished wth quite a few layers of tru-oil & am really pleased how it's turned out. Not sure the pics do it justice but the mahogany look almost 'bronze' really nice & the maple top has some lovely 'blotches'. I've gone for a 'worn' sort of look (including the neck which actually has a stained maple fretboard) see links below on Signature neck / bridge / pups [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/184228-fs-signature-jazz-neck-maple-4-string-withdrawn/page__fromsearch__1"]http://basschat.co.u...__fromsearch__1[/url] [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/184415-fs-hipshot-4x-individual-string-bridges-withdrawn/page__fromsearch__1"]http://basschat.co.u...__fromsearch__1[/url] [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/183734-fs-nordstrand-big-singles-pair-withdrawn/page__fromsearch__1"]http://basschat.co.u...__fromsearch__1[/url] I've removed all the pics coz I was exceeding my upload allowance but pics can be provided via email if needed. The bass is pretty light weight, guessing around 7lb mark at the mo but still needs it's 'innards' installing ! I was gonna put just a selector switch in as that's my normal preference but as I now no longer play 4 string I decided to leave it 'blank' so you can do whatever you like .. the cavity is pretty big so even preamps etc could be installed. I have 'earthed' the bridge & pup wires threaded thru (bridge pup marked so you know which is which) & switchcraft jack but that's it ..... action's a bit on the high side & some fret buzz but I'm sure someone who knows what they're doing could probable sort that. [s]Is £270 reasonable[/s] ? I don't know but II haven't even got my money back at that price. This could be made into something really nice, I was gonna upgrade the tuners & get some ferrules to string thru the body but will leave that ... I do have vol/tone 250k pots from my Dingwall if that helps at all & some schaller strap lock [b]type[/b] buttons (& strap lock bit incl.) as well ..... any questions or more pics just let me know ... 07508211932 cheers Simon

Hi all, 10" sealed cab I made for mainly home practice. It's loaded with a Eminence Alpha 10A (rated 150w / 8 Ohm) I got off a fellow BC'er which was new & cost £30. Cab is made out of MDF except for baffle board & back which are 12mm ply. The amp is an Eden Nemesis I took out of my N8 combo & power states 43w on back but is actually pretty loud though don't think you'd get away gigging it. The only issue I have with both is my shoddy 'tolex' job .. hadn't attempted tolexing before & need more practice lol but doesn't affect other than cosmetic. I ran out of the lovely cream tolex I had so had to improvise a bit on the cab (but it's on the base) .. you don't really notice any of this from a few feet away. I know a lot of you like a really nice finish (I do too) hence the price .. £[s]80[/s] for both .. now £70 .. pickup (Bingley) I've exceeded my upload allowance so pics upon request ... thanks Simon [url="http://www.lean-business.co.uk/eshop/eminence-alpha-10-8ohm-10-150-watt-speaker-p-1333.html"]http://www.lean-busi...ker-p-1333.html[/url] [url="http://www.musiciansfriend.com/amplifiers-effects/nemesis-n8-40w-1x8-bass-combo-amp"]http://www.musicians...-bass-combo-amp[/url] [url="http://www.harmonycentral.com/products/39198"]http://www.harmonyce.../products/39198[/url]
