This might help, looks same to me, but I’m no writing expert tbh - more hit and hope 😂

I think the white goes where the tone cap is, on the pot on the right. 

The black goes to ground. 

Not a common wiring though, I think. 

Cool looking StingRay Dave. 

Sorry to read about your hand - good luck with the sales 👍

Final drop - £160

I was thinking about pressing the button on one of these. Checkout now shows the total as £2715.19!

I'm not quite sure what has changed in a week, but that's me out 😬.

Exchange rate? Price may be going back down now, £2657 for me this morning. 11 left. Wondering if you may just score a late winner. 

I’ve emailed Big Poppa asking if he fancies p/x’ing my Jazz... 😁

Bought some strings - good deal, fast delivery, and great communication.

Cheers @loremil 🙏

Please, no PM offers to buy it, and definitely no offers for anything other than a Jazz Bass - unless you have my old brown 79 MM Sabre!!

Might also consider one of the recent (2015ish?) USA Lake Placid Blue ‘64 Jazz Bass with matching head. 

Not sure I’ll bump this advert again, so please PM if you stumble across it. 

Pleasure to be starting a feedback thread for @Waddo Soqable 

I’m surprised there isn’t a feedback thread here yet, because Pete is a top fella and a Basschat market place pro - highly recommended 👌

Cheers Pete 🙏

Good luck 👍

Also not a fan of the hollow quality that seems to be inherent in P/J basses when both pickups are on, just something funky happens with the mids that just sounds hollow.

 

 

What you’re describing might be the wiring in parallel characteristic, a series/parallel switch could alter that.

Thank you for that, I hadn't considered Nordstrand, the Big Blade 4 looks interesting also, they do a "warm and wooly" pickup winding which sounds like in neck position it might be too undefined but in bridge position it might be just the ticket

Nordstrand customer service on email is very good - like Chris said earlier, worth dropping them a line perhaps. 

My Lull PJ4 has a Nordstrand P and Dual Coil, the Dual Coil cleans up the P but adds a tighter mid punch as opposed to thinning it. It’s so good that it’s often hard to go back to a straight P tone.

I’m talking about blended though, I’m not as keen on the ‘both on’ tone

LaBella do a DBE flatwound set, had some on my old Spirit, very nice 👍

Mmm. Well, I have one of each 🤔.

The passive is the one with the Status neck which you’ve seen already.

Nope, can’t do it 😂

Chuck in your Wal or Modulus and you got a deal 👍👍👍

You need a bb1300 😉

Nah, I’m more of a Nike dude

No, not the Bravewood!

When say a Fender Flea, I assume you mean the passive version rather than active?

Yup - letting go of a perfectly fine Jazz Bass…! 😬

Yeah, the passive one - quite fancy stripping one to natural

Based on a ‘62, slab fingerboard, ash body, blonde finish, Radioshop hand wound pups that are clear and crisp and really respond beautifully when you dig in. Nice weight at 9lbs and super comfortable all round. I think the colour is best represented by the photos on the chair.

What did it go for Chilli 

£1300 rings a bell, might of been a touch more. Compared to others at that time it seemed like they were letting it go at cost after a few years in stock. 

Ive seen this one for sale a few times - not sure if it’s the same guy though. 

One of the big dealers  (Coda or GAK?) had one for years and couldn’t sell it, it ended up going dirt cheap. I was tempted at one point, but thought if it’s been there that long it may be a dog. 

PM’d

I like the Granite, but shame it’s a satin finish as they seem to wear more easily, not great on a 1 of 100 bass for me. Black would match my Special nicely though, so I’ll keep an eye on the classifieds next year, that bass looks like pure fun.

Still not been to BD, but looking forward to going when I've finished my degree!

I made the ‘mistake’ of going there when I was doing a distance post grad degree at UoB and went to a study weekend - came home with a lovely 40th Anniversary Old Smoothie to celebrate my 40th birthday and results of my first assignment  😁

Given the background, looks like a joke by the dude at the factory - I mean, why wouldn’t you?!

But a ‘58 would have a 3 tone burst, so in the world of geekdom the joke is on him 😝

Cool bass 👍

and why doesn’t the Obsidian Black version have a MHS?

 

Ooof - and have to fork out more 💰for a lighter coloured logo...?

I wouldn’t mind it, keeps to the theme of using natural materials. 

Cool colour, 👍
