I bought this last year for a few shows that I needed it for. Now surplus to requirement and ready for a new owner! Amazing bass for the money, massive tone and lovely rolled edge neck too. The P5R has the newer pick ups in and sounds wonderful. I do still have the box that it shipped in but would prefer collection from Cheltenham. NO TRADES PLEASE! -
Yes, 9.8lbs. -
I’ve decided to move on this wonderful jazz bass that I had built for me in 2017 via Danny at Bass Japan Direct. Top notch bass built to an amazingly high standard which is why they are used by the likes of Jerry Barnes of Chic and Francis Hylton from Incognito - I’d say comparable to Sadowsky and better than Fender! It comes with branded gig bag, all paperwork and the cleaning cloth. As you can see from the build card it is spec’d with 70’s pick up spacing, the EQ-M preamp and 70’s wound pick ups. The only mod that I have made is to add a tone control for when the bass is in passive mode as for some reason they don’t have one when they build the basses which I think is a little odd. So controls are now, neck pick up vol, bridge pick up vol, stacked bass and treble and then passive tone control and this gives you the option for so many great tones. 18mm string spacing and 9.8lbs in weight. The bass has been gigged a lot but is in great condition as I look after my gear. I’ve tried to catch the vibe of the bass with the pics and video NO TRADES PLEASE! IMG_2300.mov IMG_2301.mov

Decided to put this wonderful cab up for sale as it is simply not getting enough use. This is the 1200w, 4 Ohm version, super loud with a good natural clarity and massive bottom end. Also has the Vanerkley branded protective cover. Collection from near Cheltenham in Glos preferred but I do travel nationwide for gigs and could also ship if needed to. -
Is that the one that I sold you? -
Allen key size for Fender Precision (AM Pro2)

Thank you! -
Allen key size for Fender Precision (AM Pro2)
Gunsfreddy2003 replied to Gunsfreddy2003's topic in Repairs and Technical
Since posting I have found out that it is 1/16" which converts to rought 1.5mm but a 1.5mm key doesn't fit (not sure why) a builder friend had a set of imperial sized keys and yes 1/16" fits absolutely perfectly. Why they can't use a universal size for all bridges I don't understand! -
Allen key size for Fender Precision (AM Pro2)
Gunsfreddy2003 posted a topic in Repairs and Technical
Hello, I have a number of basses and thought I had allen keys to fit all of the bridges and adjust string height but I can't seem to find on that fits an American Professional Fender Precision can anyone help with correct size and link to buy from please? Just bought a multi-one from Screwfix and none fit the Fender yet they fit other basses I have. Bloody annoying! -
No problem at all. I have to say I was blissfully ignorant about these basses otherwise I may well have tried to buy one of them. I was amazed what that jazz bass went to which had a 70’s neck badly put on to it and also the Stingray - madness!

I managed to find one of the Larkin basses as I must have been watching it. See image for hammer price.
-
They were not in great condition - one of the basses only had 1 string on it! Do you know what any of the lot numbers were for the Larkin stuff? As I bid on some items I can see what the final price was for them but need the relevant lot number to find out the sale price.
-
I was amazed what price some the things went for!

I expect so. It's always hard to tell from these things whether at the end he had bugger all left - you can also never tell what money he personally made from the Kate Bush stuff - if she had all the song writing credits then I suspect not much at all.
-
That would make a lot of sense, I’ll ask Mark and see if he remembers. The Bass Gallery has quite a few John Giblin basses for sale at the moment. Some nice basses from an amazing player but they aren’t cheap!

As I play in a Kate Bush tribute band I was naturally very interested in this auction. I went to the viewing last week and was very surprised at the state of some of this equipment to be honest and I do think that as someone else has stated anything of real value has been kept to one side. I did express concern to one of the auctioneer directors that the lot descriptions were misleading. It was not obvious in the listing that the Stingray was a Sub, you had to look very closely in the pics to see that. Also the cream Fender jazz was a 2012 body with a 70’s neck badly put on to it. Again that was not clear and someone bid over £1k for it! Lastly there was a Wilcox Lightwave Sabre fretless that had a few issues and that went for £1,740 plus fees which seemed a huge amount for a fairly nasty instrument but I guess it has some heritage! It’s amazing what some folk will spend on.

I use a Radial TB too, but would still have to run backline as rest of the band are not on IEM’s yet. So, if I use DI from amp head to FOH and DI from TB into my Porter & Davies board/amp could I run the main jack output from the TB into the jack input of the Rolls and then take the jack output from the Rolls to the jack input on my amp?
-
Makes total sense to me. We use the ME-1 in one band and that is brilliant and I have nothing but great things to say about it but in the other band we are playing different venues with different soundcrew all the time and the wedge mix can be with excellent or terrible. I'd prefer to try and control a bit more myself. Do you just run DI out from amp or pedalboard into one input, FOH mix into another and then ambient mic into the 3rd?
-
I've been looking at the Rolls PM351 for a while and thinking that it would make a very easy IEM system. Your own bass signal in one channel, rest of the band on another channel and then a mic to pic up ambient noise which you can dial up and down as needed like I do when I can use my ME-1 with one of my bands. Does it work well like this?

Decided to move on this wonderful cab - bought it last year from a fellow Basschatter and it’s not been out of the house since then! It is in amazing mint condition and looks like it is brand new. Collection from Cheltenham or may be able to courier if I can find some packaging! -

Ping me over your address details and I'll get a postage cost sorted out for you. -
I owned an MTD Kingston Z fretless - https://www.bassdirect.co.uk/product/mtd-kingston-z5-maple-board-natural-gloss/ and had the preamp changed out for Bartolini and the pickups upgraded to Aguilar DCB D2’s. I sold the bass a while ago and still have these in my cupboard and no use for them. If anyone wants them and can use them then they can have them - all I’d like is the postage costs to be covered.

I’m moving on these trusty little cabs. Really powerful and far louder than the label on the back suggests! They work really well together to make a tidy little stack. Each one has a rubber handle and metal spring loaded handle which you can also use to tilt back if you want to. One of the rubber handles is slightly damaged as the pics show. They have been mainly used in my home studio apart from a couple of gigs so are in great condition. Tonehammer head is only shown to demonstrate size and not included in sale. Would prefer to sell the pair together and collection from near Cheltenham preferred as don’t have any boxes to ship in. I do travel round the country a lot for gigs and day job so might be able to deliver. -
This is the latest version of the Backbeat, lets you feel what you are playing and it’s quite thumpy for its size! Has been gigged twice but not replaced my Porter & Davies so moving it on. Grab a bargain as £399 at Bass Direct for a new one. https://www.bassdirect.co.uk/product/backbeat-g2/ I’m not sure I have the box it came in but can pack and post securely. -
If only this had 5 strings!
