    Brian at the Lowend has a great rep over on TalkBass. I've traded a few emails and he was super helpful & friendly. Never bought anything from him though

    I remember when the 751 first came out there was a general view over on TB that the 750 was marginally better sounding but I think it's a very small difference. I had a 750 and loved it but it was a little too heavy for me in the end. With hindsight (always a wonderful thing) I should maybe have kept the 750 for gigging and bought a TH500 for rehearsal and home use

    [quote name='xgsjx' timestamp='1337085077' post='1655093'] I prefer this finish to "relicing/roadworn"... It's called "Damaged desktop". [/quote] I like the ones that have the 'noughts & crosses' on them as well:)

    I don't see why there's such a fuss over relicing a bass. I don't see a difference between this and the way clothes have been sold for years, faded denim, worn in leather jackets etc. To me it's just a different finish compared to high gloss, satin, natural wood etc. It takes longer and is actually more personal than some 'factory' finishes so I expect it to be more expensive. However it's way less expensive than buying a genuinely old bass. To me that means it's a nice way for someone to get a guitar that feels played and nicely worn in for a decent price. I can't see this going away - it certainly hasn't with other style items like clothing. . .

    Is it a blackface or hammerite one?

    My old band had a 'standard' set of 58's for all 5 singers but one day the female lead turned up with a Beta. Sounded great in rehearsal but we had real problems with it live, prone to dropping out (must have been the pattern issues mentioned above) but also gave us some feedback problems. I'm sure it's a fine mic but we definitely found it less 'forgiving' to work with than a standard 58. It went back the next week.

    I knew there was a good reason why we've just booked to go to Canada in a few weeks time

    Ah Donny what are you doing to me eh? I often think I'd like a nice old Ricky kicking around for those days when i want to grab a pick & play old Jam & Yes songs

    Just traded basses with Ryan & I really have to say he couldn't have been friendlier and more helpful. Definitely someone to trust if you are thinking about buying from, or selling to, him

    Previous trades now off - anyone got anything they want to trade or maybe make me an offer on the price
  13. molan
    And open for trades - had a couple of offers that I'm seriously thinking about but always happy to look at new alternatives

    [quote name='CBbass' timestamp='1336269609' post='1643427'] That is my dream Jazz bass. Only natural and even black block bass which has ever appealed to me. Good luck with your ++AWESOME++ sale! [/quote] Although not totally awesome, it is actually a great sounding bass

    You need a boring old Fender Jazz, one of those 'everyday' ones that's been kicking around for 40 years or so and not really very desirable. . .
  16. molan
    Given the mediocre state of this bass, and that it has lots of old parts on it, I'm thinking of putting the price up by a few hundred quid. . .

    Is that a refin on a stripped body? Also, is pickguard original?

    Great little mixer - really handy to have the phono inputs

    A pro friend of mine ran a pretty exhaustive set of tests on an AG500, TH500 a pair of GS cabs and a pair of SL's The TH/SL combination won the day and on the side by side test the SL's were noticeably louder. He was testing up against a very hard hitting pro drummer as well.

    [quote name='bubinga5' timestamp='1336151878' post='1641860'] i thought this was my old bass for a second... those Redeemer circuits are great.... [/quote] I think it was Great bass, my favourite of any recent Fender I've played!

    Excellent - bring on the vol au vonts

    [quote name='Roland Rock' timestamp='1336108240' post='1640936'] Three questions please: Is this a bargain, can I trust you, and will I ever get that quality J bass for that money again? [/quote] No, maybe & yes
  23. molan
    Truly horrible

    I know there's a lot of AWESOME old Fenders around at the moment but I'm afraid this is really an everyday, really quite uninteresting, Fender Jazz from 1973. To the best of my knowledge it's all original - it currently has a Badass bridge fitted which is, of course, totally AWSOME, but unfortunately it also comes with an original '73 bridge. Finish is a very dull natural with no AWSOME additions. It's obviously been well played but I'm sure that really reduces its worth as all those people that gigged it over its limited 39 year life probably just thought it was a decent player but not very AWSOME at all. It's a typical old Fender that oozes personality and a hefty girth of just over 10lbs. Although there's nothing AWESOME about the weight I have to assume that all those people that gigged it thought it was worth it. Tough to tell if pickups are original - local luthier seems to think they are AWSOME and are old Fender originals but what does he know eh? Comes with an original '70's hard case which looks rather nice and is very serviceable but probably not even remotely AWESOME. . . Yours for just £1,850

    AWESOME headstock. Is the rest of the bass just as AWESOME? Sounds like AWESOME aftermarket pickups and AWESOME aftermarket bridge with AWESOME routing in the body to make it work.
