Selling my set of original pre-CBS reverse wound Precision/Jazz bass tuners. I bought these for a project bass about 10 years ago. I think the ferrules were included at the time, but I can't confirm the age of the ferrules or the screws. If there are any obvious ways to verify the age of the ferrules, please let me know. Any questions, please ask.

Selling my Sunn Mustang Precison style Bass that I've owned for the last 6+ years. Made by FMIC (Fender) in India in the late 80s. The same basses as Squier II and Encore of the era I believe. I've owned three of these, mainly for the neck profile, and all were consistent in terms of build and feel. This was the only one that seemed to be untouched in terms of mods. In good condition for a close to 40 year old budget bass. A few chips and dings which I hope the photos capture. Appears to be all original - with the exception of the screws on the tuner as mentioned in comments. Collection from Harrogate, but meet-up in the general area can be arranged. Shipping an option if arranged by buyer. A hard case can be included fo9r an additional fee. Any questions, please ask.

Selling a G&L L2000 Tribute bought here last year. I'm starting to list most of my bass gear due to inactivity, and this one has barely been touched during my ownership. Bass is in great condition, and really comfortable to play. Collection from Harrogate, but meet-up in the general area can be arranged. Shipping an option if arranged by buyer. Any questions, please ask.

Selling my Ashdown CTM-15 and C110 cab. Collection in Harrogate, or meet-up can be arranged in the general area. I bought this new about 10 years ago. It's barely been used in that time, and even then, only used for home practice. The grill cloth is damaged superficially, as per the pics, and I think this was caused by a cat! From Ashdown: While the Ashdown CTM-15 tube bass amplifier head is all about big valve tone in a tiny package that's perfect for recording, the Drophead version gives you that power ready to go in a compact combo format, teamed with a striking 1x10” cabinet that's tuned for use at home or in the studio. Low power, big sound Plug in and lay down a few bass lines through the Drophead 15, and you won't be the first to wonder "Wow, is that really only 15 watts?". The Drophead 15 delivers deceptively large tones from its dual EL84 power stage, and it's low wattage means its easier to get red-blooded overdrive by driving it hard – all without shaking the foundations. Whether the session needs big fat clean tones or growling, overdriven bass, the Drophead 15 has you covered. Find the sweet spot fast with the VU meter display Like all similarly equipped Ashdown's, the CTM-15's analogue VU meter isn't just there for show. Giving an instant accurate display of your power amp's output the CTM-15's VU meter let's you quickly find your amps sweet spot – where the magic really happens. Flip it up – rip it up Dropheads are cool. When you're ready to play, simply un-clip the top, flip the amp head into position, clip it back down, plug in and let the tone come forth.

Another interesting isolated bass track - Sir Duke

That's a great video. Thanks for sharing. I'd like to see a Rick Beato "What makes this song great" video for this too... -

Thanks for sharing this. I did have a look after your earlier post, but couldn't find it. The bass here sounds a lot better to my ears. To me, it sounds almost sounds like a cheap bass being used in Sir Duke, which I highly doubt was the case. It's like the sound I get in the upper register when I use a sponge as a mute under the strings on one of my bases that could do with a set-up. -

Agreed. It hasn't changed my opinion on it at all, I'm just surprised how better it sounds in the final mix. Although there are some bits I'll always hear differently from now on. It's actually the third chorus that has been my favourite part, and trickiest to learn. He really just lets loose there. -

Cheers. Turns out I just didn't press return so! -

It's been a very long time since I posted. It looks like I haven't added the YouTube link properly. Sorry about that.... -
Apologies if this has been posted before. I just came across it yesterday, and was fascinated by it. It seems to be the actual recording. Comparing it with a tab I have from an old Guitar World's Bass Guitar, it matches note for note. You can also hear studio bleed at various points, making me think it's the real deal. I've seen a few threads about isolated bass tracks, and how the final mix often makes the bass track seem wildly different. Maybe it's just me, but it sounds like Nate Watts was playing a bass with terrible action.

FENDER, Japanese Vintage Series Porn , JV Serial Numbers...

Adding my first edition Squier JV '62 Precision, with large Fender logo. Interestingly, this has the same neck date as Rick's, so it's a pretty early model. Plays great and it's year of birth bass, so it's definitely a keeper. I'd love a first edition '57 P to round off the collection. -
Really sad news. I'm a big Chris Cornell and Soundgarden fan. I was just listening to Euphoria Morning on my way to work this morning. I thinks it's a great and really under-rated album. His latest solo album is really good too. I saw him solo in Dublin a few years ago. He was supporting Aerosmith and blew them out the water. RIP

I sold a cab to Mike this week. He's highly knowledgeable in all things bass, and was great to deal with from start to finish. Highly recommended!!

pobrien_ie replied to Paul S's topic in eBay - Weird and Wonderful
Amazing....£505 with 20 seconds left. It went for £945. If I was the seller that suspense would have been too much for me in those last couple on minutes! -
