  1. The bass sits nicely with my broad strap, does drop a little bit but not that noticeable, the neck is lacquered but hard to say how heavy but its very nice to play and it does not bother me as I prefer the type of finish. All in all a fabulous bass
  2. Mid 1980's White Fender Power Jazz Bass Special. It's basically a Duff McKagen artist bass, but with an active circuit, which is the "power" part. Bought this off bass chatter xilddx a few years back This is a precision special with a lovely Jazz neck. Precision body, Jazz neck (22 frets)and P/J loaded. Pickup selector to switch between J pickup, J/P or just the P pickup. The P pickup is reverse mounted also to give a a warmer lower tone to the higher strings. 1 master volume. 1 Fender TBX control, treble/bass cut. Has a middle detent on the sweep for a flat tone, turn one way its cuts bass turn the other it cuts treble. 1 mini toggle switch. Switches from passive to Mid boost to Low boost. This switch controls the active tone circuit, the ATE circuit. 1 frequency sweep knob. This is bypassed when the mini toggle is off(passive) and all the standard Precision special passive tones are available. when the mini toggle is in mid or low boost mode this controls the frequency which is being boosted, I don't know however the parameters of the frequencys, or whether it's shelved or not. Battery compartment for the active circuit is located on the back, and is screwed in. This is all Original One of the F logo caps is missing from one knob and I cant as yet find a replacement, various chips here and there as photographed but in very good condition otherwise, good life in the frets. This is a versatile P-bass, it does standard passive P-bass tones to some thick lead jazz tones with the active circuit engaged. You can get a great slap tone by using the low boost and setting the tone knob to the middle detent with both pickups selected, best I've heard anyway. Even with just the P/U selector you can get a standard P, to a suitble less thumpy P to a standard jazz bass tone. The active circuit is hard to describe, the only way to describe the low boost when the sweep is set really low is like the "low" button on some amps, never really played with the mid boost as it suits a mid scooped EQ better. Ive usually only used it when I need to rage with my fingers to killing in the name, and as such would suit some of you heavy metallers out there or harder rock. It has a lot of natural treble which can be EQed out with the basses controls, but again I played it mainly with fingers and slapping. This is a great playing and sounding bass, the neck is nice and fast and those extra frets do make a bit of difference. I am selling quite a few basses over the next few weeks due to not having the time to play anymore so no trades please as I just want a straight deal THE PRICE INCLUDES SHIPPING COSTS TO ALL UK ADDRESSES

  5. What happened to the TRC- true American
  6. Tis A real beaut, I have one which I stripped down to the bare wood as it was badly chipped and did not look that good but well pleased with the finish. The buyer will not be disappointed GLWTS
  7. Hi Mike, These are indeed the original pickups, J6 they were called but the 2 screws in the middle either side of the pickup don't belong there so must be a logical reason for that . It should also have the duo sound push pull switch if I remember. If I didn't have 2 Musicians already I would have been interested for a project. GLWTS Brian
  8. any pics please, or what shape is the peg itself, elephant ears ?
  9. Hi Ash, Thought I recognised the back-round, Lovely looking bass and I just bought a tele bass last week otherwise I would be all over this GLWTS mate. Brian PS if its still around after christmas you never know 😉
  10. Hi There, Really great project you did on this Harley, I have just got one second hand and intend to do some work on it. Just a few questions if you don't mind, as its a photo flame finish is it necessary to cut back on the finish prior to spraying it or would a good primer suffice. I noticed that you have given the neck a vintage look on the finish, how did you achieve that. Really looking forward to the challenge ahead, oh and the Herrick pickups sound great by the way, good choice. Brian
  11. I Bought this wonderful leather strap from Iain, great condition and fast delivery. Really nice chap to deal with. Thanks Iain
