I have a 1970 Jazz bass pickup for sale. Taken from my modified 1966 mustang. Resistance is 6.61K and it sounds great. 9cm long which I think makes it a neck pickup, although it can be used in the bridge too of course. P pickup in the pics has sold. Cheers

On hold in super fast time!

Ah well spotted, in fact that's a longer screw, probably a replacement. It's a cool bridge actually, not sure who makes it.

Chunk Systems Octavius Squeezer, excellent condition, boxed with power supply and on latest firmware £270 An absolute beast of a synth pedal - fully analogue with digital screenage. Lots has been written about this legendary pedal. If you like playing with settings and spending whole evenings cooking up sounds the Chink is what you need. Also takes a 9V batt but mostly as backup. Comes with dedicated power supply designed for the unit, though will run fine with a normal 9v supply IME (I'm using a OneSpot).

Hi folks A recent acquisition, imported from Germany last year. This bass is fantastic and has the lowest action I have ever encountered. The sound is like a 60s jazz bass but with a more even response thanks to the amazing 10/90 neck, which is rock solid and has the perfect amount of relief. The fretwork is fantastic and the attention to detail is as you'd expect from Vigier. The bass has a few marks and has been played a lot, but nothing that detracts from how awesome the bass clearly is. The edges of the neck have a few marks (nothing you can feel) and the body has a couple of marks too, but it's been loved and used, not neglected. I changed the original white pearl scratch plate for the black one which I had custom made (by TinyTone, with 'light' relic to match the body). When doing this I was interested to see the system Vigier use when they mount the pickups to the scratch plate rather than the body. There are lots of quirks which make this bass a really neat fresh approach to building a bass. Things such as countersunk threads for the strap pins, and the hum defeating system built into the bass (you can see the adjuster is accessed via a small hole on the scratch plate). I'll include the pearl plate and another darker pearl plate which was given to me kindly by a member of BC. One thing to note, the pickups are held to the scratch plate with a hex bolt and nut which is neat - they may have been over tightened in the past to make a couple of the 'ears' (not visible) to crack, and they have been repaired with some sort of epoxy compound which is 100% effective and obviously not visible. They're probably stronger than ever! The finish is really thin, and I think I read somewhere that Vigier perfected the use of a special process to allow this. You can see the grain of the wood through the finish in some lights. It's very tactile. WEIGHT - pretty light. No truss rod and specially sourced and aged French alder and maple add up to only 3.6kg The EQ is quite unusual too - you can read more here but essentially you only need to use it very sparingly, and in fact cutting can bring out the mids really nicely too, so everything form P thump and slap sizzle are on hand. In fact, this bass has the best front pickup P bass sound I have had in a jazz - and there's no noise because of the hum system. It's strung with brand new Elixir 40-95s, and I'll put the original metal knobs on if you prefer. It comes in a Thomann 'hard foam' style rectangular case. I have a box, so I could post, but I'd prefer to meet somewhere. I'm in York so fairly central and happy to travel a reasonable distance. So why am I selling? Well, frankly I've been playing two of my basses pretty much exclusively for the last year, and I'm having a bit of a clearout. I prefer the 70s spacing on a jazz style bass, and though it's nice to have a 60s style in the tool kit, I can't afford to have it around when I don't play it much. It deserves to be someone's no.1. I'll be selling a few other bits in the coming weeks. Any questions, let me know. This is a very low price for one of these, but less than I paid with import duty etc. Cheers ped

Hi folks Fantastic filter, this - it gave my faves a real run for their money. Properly thick and gloopy sounding, small neat package and I really like the light on the pedal too! Excellent condition (tiny specks on the back are remnants of velcro) with box and manual. £125 posted Cheers ped
