Where are you in the world?

[quote name='OldG' post='247484' date='Jul 25 2008, 07:13 AM']''Supports the current range of Line 6 FBV footcontrollers including Line 6 FBV Express and FBV Shortboard.'' Can you confirm this - there should be an 'FBV pedal' socket (not just pedal)... If so, I'm very interested.[/quote] I can confirm that it doesn't support the FBV pedals, it needs the older type switches. Didn't notice that was in the (copied and pasted) description. [quote name='NancyJohnson' post='247508' date='Jul 25 2008, 08:38 AM']I've got the guitar and bass pods...they're great tools. If it hasn't been answered already, the guitar version is good for bass...it has a nice tube emulator and can give bass some nice dirt and other effects, but I prefer the Bass POD for bass. Either will take a signal from anything you can plug into it via a jack-plug. I love my twins. P[/quote] They are a great tool for sure. Pete

[quote name='Bassy' post='245878' date='Jul 23 2008, 10:11 AM']Just had a look at your link, looks like it's only rosewood and maple on fretboards now. I think the pau ferro has become harder to find over the last few years and therefore too expensive for Fender to use.[/quote] From paragraph two of the linked page, which is the current model of the one you're selling... "... maple or [b]pau ferro [/b]rolled-edge fingerboard...." But then the specs say Rosewood or Maple. Someone in the Fender Web Dept. did some copying and pasting without paying attention lol

They still do Pau Ferro [url="http://www.fender.com/products//search.php?partno=0194660720"]http://www.fender.com/products//search.php?partno=0194660720[/url] on these. Think they've stopped using it on the American Standard V and the Mex V

[quote name='mcgraham' post='235823' date='Jul 9 2008, 04:03 PM']Man, GAS is getting the better of me here! Quite tempted... you say this is the 2nd version, how many iterations have there been since/in total? Mark[/quote] In a nutshell... POD POD 2.0 (the one I'm selling) POD XT POD X3 The XT and X3 versions also act as a USB audio interface and currently sell for two to three times this much. [quote name='BassManKev' post='235831' date='Jul 9 2008, 04:11 PM']does it work with bass????[/quote] Yes and no. There's no specific bass stuff on here - which is why they make the Bass POD - but you can use it for silent practice, as a DI and for the FX. Can also use the modelling too I suppose if it takes your fancy.

Fair play to Kev for posting a response. I can see from the eBay listing that it was a fair description of the bass which was given in it. While I thought it was a bit cheeky of him to list the bass [i]here[/i] with a huge mark-up, at the end of the day it was his to sell how he saw fit and he hasn't misled anyone as to it's condition etc. so I don't think he's done anything wrong.

[quote name='thebeat' post='235590' date='Jul 9 2008, 11:30 AM']Hi again...nice to see this for sale thread is generating plenty of interest What i would like to know is this: Who put the transfer on? was it the original seller Mike? or the guy he bought it from? Or was it Kev Hide, who i bought the bass from? [b]It most certainly wasn't me[/b] To be honest i also though the transfer was a bit suss when i received the bass. [b]So come on guys, who put the transfer on?[/b] I've contacted kevmanbass/bassmankev or whatever his name is and asked for his side of the story. I'm gonna make one more price drop on this bass as i really want to buy a Jack Casady, so I'll sell this wonderful bass with a colourful and mysterious history for the price of a Jack Casady which from Thomann £422...plus post. As someone pointed out the parts on the bass is worth the asking price alone, the allparts neck alone retails for £214 from Allparts UK, the rest of the hardware is also high quality. This is my final price drop....I'll use the fecking thing as a canoe paddle if it doesn't sell at his price [/quote] At £422 that's a fab price. If I had cash, or if you were in a trading mood, I'd be trying to do a deal.

[quote name='OldGit' post='235559' date='Jul 9 2008, 10:51 AM']Allparts necks have proper Fender logos - official, like, as they are licenced replacements for damaged bits.. Never seen one with the custom shop transfer though..[/quote] You sure about that Si? Always seen them for sale without any logos. They are licensed though.

FWIW I PM'd the current seller (Alistair) and brought him up to speed on things. In doing so, I think he is 100% genuine and bought the bass in good faith believing it to be as he describes it in the original listing. He seems like a decent bloke and fair play to him for acknowledging the history and lowering his asking price by £100 within an hour or so of the bass being listed. Hopefully, as others have said, the bass can be bought and sold on its merits. I dare say that if it was broken up for parts it'd be worth £500 so I don't think any potential buyer is getting ripped off at the current asking price.

[quote name='thebeat' post='235422' date='Jul 9 2008, 12:30 AM']I bought it on ebay so can't confirm it's pedigree but i think you may be right in assuming that the neck is an Allparts neck...it does have the Custom Shop logo but i did wonder myself...aren't the Allparts necks endorsed by Fender?[/quote] Any chance the eBay seller was in Bristol? If so, it's almost certainly the same bass as was sold on here back in January and controversially re-listed (then withdrawn) from here a couple of months ago. It's an amazing looking bass and one I'd have snapped up back in January had I the cash at the time as would many others but - and for your sake I hope I'm wrong in saying this - you might have unwittingly walked into a maelstrom with this. Good luck with the sale though, hope I haven't spoiled it for you by mentioning this. I don't normally approve of commenting on prices in for sale threads but I do think the listing is, unfortunately inaccurate. Though I appreciate you're an innocent party as such.

[quote name='CHRISDABASS' post='235415' date='Jul 9 2008, 12:21 AM']ive seen this bass on here before! caused quite a stir if i remember rightly!! hmmmmmm good luck with the sale mate[/quote] Yup, and if I recall correctly, the body is the only bit that's actually Fender, the neck is an Allparts one and it originally sold on here for under £400. Hopefully we're both confused and the similarities are coincidence. Perhaps the seller could confirm it is 100% custom shop (well the body and neck anyway).

Bump Have the opportunity for a DJ5 if I can raise the cash in a hurry so this is definitely for sale. £700 ono with the J-Retro, £600 ono with original passive controls installed. Possibly accept some kind of part-ex deal that sees £300 to £400 coming my way. Jap P or J bass for example, Ibanez 6 String perhaps...
