Have you checked your PMs? I sent you one a couple of days ago.

[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...

bumpage

Salmon Pink like this P-Bass?... ...or, as is perhaps more likely as I've owned a 1996 Jap RI just like it and have seen several others... Shell Pink like this Jazz Bass? No matter which, great basses, great price.

[quote name='Bigwan' post='232643' date='Jul 4 2008, 01:03 PM']Any interest in a Roscoe Beck V? Love this bass but have always wanted a nice JO5 to compliment my JO4![/quote] Could be, any pics?

bump Sandberg P or J? Geddy Jazz? Fender 75RI Jazz (maple and black blocks)? Nice Fender or Lakland P?

I bought this from a fellow basschatter recently and it's a nice tool for getting your bass/guitar/vox etc. into your computer with quality amp and effects modelling all rolled into the package. It works with both Windows and Mac and I have the driver CD and the Ableton Live Lite CD that came with it. I had to download new drivers from the Line6 site for my iMac but they were easy to find and installation was a breeze. Full details here [url="http://uk.line6.com/toneportux2/"]http://uk.line6.com/toneportux2/[/url] I'm only selling as I've now got a Motu interfeace and a newly arrived copy of Logic so this is surplus to requirements now but it works a treat and will make someone very happy. Looking for £75 posted in the UK. Possibly trade/part-ex for other recording gear (small controller keyboard for example) or for BOSS PH-3 Phaser or FL-3 Flanger

[quote name='Thunderthumbs' post='230428' date='Jul 1 2008, 11:59 AM']Was the "soft focus" on the first photo done on purpose to sex it up? Either way, that's bloody gorgeous, and it'd go very nicely alongside my Lake Placid Blue JO5 (without a J-Retro I hasten to add). I'll bet yours sounds sweet. The distinct lack of paper fundage on my part is a huge problem though. Saying that, I have a 91 Warwick Thumb 5 NT if that might interest you in a deal? If not, whoever buys it will get a lovely instrument, and at £700 with the J-Retro, I think that's a bargain. Have a free bump on me.[/quote] LOL The soft focus was a product of lighting in the room and not being arsed to wipe the lens on my iPhone! Would be a great compliment to your blue one for sure but Warwick Thumbs are definitely not for me. They look and sound fab but I just can't get comfortable with them.

I've had this bass for a couple of months and it's come very close to replacing my DJ5 as my main bass but a couple of gigs on the weekend with the DJ5 just reinforced that it's the bass for me so I figure I'll put this JO5 out there and see if anything interesting comes of it. [attachment=10264:jo5_01.jpg] As you can see, it's a lovely 3TSB finish with a replacement black pickguard (still have the original mint one too) with a maple fretboard on a maple neck. The pick-ups are Lindy Fralins and sound amazing, especially (IMHO) with the J-Retro installed. There's a massive range of tones available to use and even the tiniest tweak of one of the controls makes a difference. The basic tone gives thick lower-mids with tight lows and sweet, singing highs. The J-Retro allows you to add a healthy dollop of punchy low-end presence and can give the highs extra zing. The sweepable mids can either re-inforce the bottom end or really bring out that classic honking jazz bass tone. The set-up is great with a straight and true neck and very low action. Those of a more "digging in" persuasion may need to raise the action a smidge. The bass is in excellent used condition. It's not new but there's no major damage on there either. Basically there's some rash on the back that's visible when held to the light and the obligatory "headstock v low ceiling/light fixture" scrape at the end of the head. [attachment=10265:jo5_02.jpg] 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.
