  1. Bump for new picture............................. [attachment=41994:DSCN0784.JPG]
  2. [quote name='joegarcia' post='737286' date='Feb 6 2010, 03:12 PM']These are great, bit of a bargain I reckon.[/quote] This is a great small HiFi system and would suit anyone wanting high quality in a neat package.
  3. I have for sale a great Onkyo 505 mini system. I have had it for about 2 years in my spare room for when guest stay over for the weekend. It has hardly been used and is in wonderful condition. No speakers are included with the sale. [b]£75.00 posted.[/b][u][/u] Here is some info................... Onkyo CR-505DAB CD/DAB Receiver We love Onkyo's all-singing, mains powered DAB/FM/AM tuner/CD player For around 260 quid you get a lot of bang for your money, with the attractive brushed aluminium unit packing in a high quality amplifier, CD player, AM/FMRDS tuner and - best of all - a DAB (Digital Broadcast Audio) receiver. Unlike many other all-in units in the same bracket, this puppy offers a 'proper' amplifier with high-quality Wolfson DACs delivering accurate digital-to-analogue conversion and discrete output stage circuitry for a clean output signal. Moreover, there's a slew of RCA/digital connectors available on the rear for hooking up external units like MD players and cassette recorders, so the unit can be used as the heart of a small hi-fi system. Setting up Setting up the system was easy enough, although it was strange to discover that three separate aerials had to be installed for the FM/AM and DAB tuners! We couldn't wait to get playing with the DAB tuner, and after a quick bash on the auto-scan button we were astounded by the huge variety of channels it managed to find. Admittedly, most of the channels sounded absolute rubbish, but it was a revelation to find so much content available. With all those channels to wade through, it was necessary to set up our own list of favourites, and although it was a bit of a fiddly process, it wasn't long before we'd programmed the thing to our liking. The nice thing about DAB is the additional text information transmitted with the audio signal, and the CR505's pretty blue LED display served up two rows of text, with users able to choose which DAB information they want onscreen - we fell in love with the scrolling text option that provided details about the station and the song currently being played. The FM and AM tuners were equally straightforward enough to sort out, with the auto scan quickly scooping up a list of available radio stations. The onboard CD player usefully supports MP3s recorded on CD-R and CD-RW discs as well as Audio CDs. We had no problems at all playing a wide selection of discs. # Sound quality The sound was impressive, with a tight, controlled bass and clear soundstage. Cranking up the sound levels, the system coped admirably, with no harshness or distortion marring the thundering output. The system would make a great bedroom, kitchen or study stereo system, offering a huge range of radio channels and enough poke to accompany the occasional air guitar wig out or party. Specs: Amplifier: 25 W/Ch int4 (1 kHz), WRAT (Wide Range Amplifier Technology), Discrete output stage circuitry, Tone control (Bass/Treble), Tone direct and 3 audio inputs and 2 outputs. CD Player: Plays Audio CDs and MP3 CDs, Wolfson single-bit D/A converter, 20-track programming, Random/Memory/Repeat play modes, Optical digital output. Tuner: DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting) with 59 Presets, 5-mode timer (Timer 1/2/3/4/Sleep), 40 FM/AM presets, Automatic FM scan tuning, RDS (CT/PS/RT). Other features: Battery-free memory backup, Headphone jack, RI-compatible remote control Thanks.

  10. [quote name='Sibob' post='728716' date='Jan 29 2010, 02:06 PM']Well I do love all my Rosewood basses, but the one Jazz I have with a maple fingerboard is the one the Shuker neck, and the birdseye on it is lovely. No front dots, just birdseye with black binding and side dots. You could have white binding to go with the body and birdseye front with no dots! Lovely Si[/quote] Lovely
  11. Wonderful........
  12. looking good.....I love the maple board. great job.
  13. This is so very sad.....RIP.
  14. [quote name='Sibob' post='722194' date='Jan 23 2010, 02:25 PM']In the background? That's "How I Met Your Mother", you know.....that Friends ripoff that is actually quite funny sometimes! I'm really happy with the bass so far, just some bedroom playing etc, have a gig tonight and tomorrow though, so will be taking it out with the 4. Marc, what white bodied one did you order? an older year? or a Deluxe? Si[/quote] The american Deluxe has now been discountinued so I went for the American Standard and will bling it up.
  15. You can get a 5 string pickup cover from Fender. Its the one from the Markus Miller bass. Hope this helps.
  16. Looks great Si....I think I want it back. Just ordered a White bodied one to replace the Sunburst from Guitar Works in Reading......last one Fender had. Hope you enjoy it.........its a great bass. Marc
  17. [quote name='bassbloke' post='720633' date='Jan 21 2010, 10:46 PM']Hi, When you say that these are for a Fender 5, does that mean these are the same dimensions as the Fender Noiseless pickups in a US Deluxe V[/quote Yes they will fit any 5 string Fender bass.
  18. [b][color="#000000"]for sale[/color][/b] Nordstrand NJ5fs split coil 5 string jazz-type bass pickups for Fender basses. These are a split coil hum cancelling design. This pickup is designed to have a tone as close as possible to a true single coil.

  20. [quote name='LawrenceH' post='714950' date='Jan 16 2010, 04:02 PM']For a Fender vintage jazz tone? I'd have thought a Fender jazz might do that better...[/quote] How about my USA standard Jazz 5 for £700 or if you want it with Nordstrand pickups £800. Comes with hard case and all tools and case candy, 6 months old and total passive. Strung with TI powerbass strings and in great condition. [attachment=40350:Fender_U...ard_5__s.JPG]
  21. You can get a second hand BSS from ebay for about £250. I have used them in the past and can recommend them very highly.
  22. Thanks for the info.......................I've just ordered one.
  23. Myke bought an amp from me. He is a great Basschatter....................highly recommended. Thanks mate.
  24. I, like most of us here have tried / played almost everything on the market from cheap crap to expensive exotica. After endless searching I decided to find a 5 string neck I could really play with no preconceptions. And I found to my horror that a Fender American Standard Jazz 5 was the answer. I never considered a fender before as the rumours of poor quality control and average sound for the money put me off. I found the answer was to change the pickups for Nordstands as the fenders are poor in comparison. If you like the neck profile then go for it as the tweaks to the pickups and preamp are endless. Here's a pic of my two......I liked the Jazz so much I bought a second one and got the nice chaps at the gallery to put on an ebony lined fretless board. [attachment=40058:Fender_U...ard_5__s.JPG]
