This has been sold. Apologies - I have now updated the thread title. -
Some more photos as requested by a couple of people - Back of headstock: http://i.imgur.com/GAUcAdI.jpg Back of neck: http://i.imgur.com/OQ29xgx.jpg http://i.imgur.com/boe4YLP.jpg -
The fingerboard plays nicely across the whole range and there are no bumps/dips anywhere. There are some string marks; you can see them along the top of this photo: http://i.imgur.com/wODckEh.jpg Photo with harsh lighting to show close-up detail: http://i.imgur.com/dnAL5IO.jpg Hope that helps.

I received my end pin about a week after ordering it, which is quick for a bespoke item. I play a hybrid bass, and only pizz, and I ordered an oak end pin. To my ears, there is an improved clarity in the attack... the start of each note has more definition. When (if!) I have some time, I would like to record myself as an A/B test, to hear from 'out front' what the difference to tone/sound is. As others have mentioned, it is a nice side benefit to have a fixed-length end pin instead of the usual adjustable one. I'm happy that I bought this end pin from Ben.

[color=#a52a2a][b](Edit 3rd June: now on hold pending sale)[/b][/color] For sale (no trades, thanks) Epiphone Zenith fretless: £400. I bought this new in October 2012 and it's a great bass -- but I hardly use it now, as I'm playing P bass or upright 95% of the time. It gets a lot of attention at gigs! People always notice and ask about it. Flaws: - I'm afraid I lost the truss rod cover: [url="http://i.imgur.com/Mo2fjgB.jpg"]http://i.imgur.com/Mo2fjgB.jpg[/url] - The markings on the pots are slightly worn away. [url="http://i.imgur.com/HGqsfsN.jpg"]http://i.imgur.com/HGqsfsN.jpg[/url] - There are a couple of very small dings on the side of the fingerboard. - There are two stacked pots. The bottom half of each turns smoothly. But when you turn the top half, the bottom half sort of 'sticks' to it. Not sure I explained that very well, so here's a video: [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OdLeaPpNC8g"]https://www.youtube....h?v=OdLeaPpNC8g[/url] Asking price includes a gig bag -- this one: [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/ritter_rcg700_9_ab_bst_classic.htm"]http://www.thomann.d...bst_classic.htm[/url] I'd rather not send this in the post. I'm based near Wimbledon, London, and I have an amp here if you want to try the bass out. Or, I could deliver to you, or meet up half-way. I gig regularly around the south-east, so PM with your location and we'll figure something out. Here is Epihone's website, with all technical info: [url="http://www.epiphone.com/Products/Bass/Zenith.aspx"]http://www.epiphone....ass/Zenith.aspx[/url] Ed Friedland's demonstration: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CsuiVj3B9E0[/media] Please ask any questions or request additional/specific photos!

For sale only -- no trades, thanks! Price is £250. This is a great combo amp... good tone, versatile EQ, loud, light, and reliable. 350 watts via the internal 2 x 10" speakers. 500 watts if you add an 8 ohm extension cab. 15 kgs. 23.5" x 19.5" x 14.75". Works perfectly. There is slight dent in the grille, near the top left. [url="http://i.imgur.com/zIcKMwK.jpg"]http://i.imgur.com/zIcKMwK.jpg[/url] The only thing I would change is the orientation of the XLR (DI) output... it is facing the wrong way by 90°. (In fact, they did correct this in the later version of this model.)

[quote name='xzodar' timestamp='1394182624' post='2388716'] Interested to hear from any BB owners who have fitted flats though. [/quote] I'm very happy with my BB425X with D'Addario Chromes, regular light gauge (45-132). I'm playing perhaps 80% motown/soul/disco and 20% pop/rock/other, and it works really well. I have a different nut to your 1024, but FWIW I didn't have to modify mine. I strung through the body without any problems - although I realize now there is no need. If I did it again today I'd go through the bridge.

I've had the same K&K Bass Max for about 10 years, and you do not necessarily need a pre-amp. I've used it with different basses and different amps and never had a problem. I had the matching K&K pre-amp for a while but realised it didn't make a difference, so I sold it. It will be fine if your amp has an input impedance of 1 M-ohm -- check your manual. I previously had a Strunal 5/35 (i.e. a "Thomann 2") which I was happy with, although it is a five-string bass and as it turned out I subsequently wanted to return to four strings. So another bass model to consider is a Christopher -- I currently play a Christopher 304 Busetto (again from Thomann) which was £1,400, but there is the 103 model at £875 which is within your budget. One thing which is cool is that it comes with an adjustable bridge, which is useful to experiment with what action works best for you. I am using my bass pretty much as it came "out of the box" from Thomann. It did not need setting up or taking to a luthier. I use the stock bridge, tailpiece, endpin, and E/A steel strings. The only change is that I switched to Golden Slaps for the D/G strings -- as a personal preference, rather than there being anything wrong with the stock ones. As an aside, I really recommend the Golden Slaps! Easy to play and sound great (I'm playing jazz, swing, folk). I moved over after many years of using Spirocores. Here's a clip wth a swing band: [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=coj9JczuV-o"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=coj9JczuV-o[/url] Christopher > Bass Max > Streamliner > Barefaced Compact. Recorded with a Zoom Q2HD.

[quote name='xzodar' timestamp='1386962023' post='2306977'] Reluctantly I'm selling the last of my jazz necked bases. I have to face the fact that I'm just more comfortable on a slightly wider neck. [/quote] Perhaps you already considered this, but just putting it out there. If you love everything else about your bass, how about swapping the neck? I recently had the opposite problem: I have a Matt Freeman P but realised I prefer a slimmer neck; problem solved by installing a Jazz neck. It was an easy, straight swap.
