  1. Hmm... best big touring bass head ever built? Actually prefer these to the 751. Thunderous but incredibly responsive to player dynamics. Stunningly well built
  2. Wow! I've had the very significant pleasure of having both played this bass and heard it being used live on a number of occasions. It's a very light, resonant and well-balanced instrument. The neck is a particularly fine example - slender and fast - with lovely quarter-sawn figuring (this is evident in the images). When I played it, the action too was lovely - low but with enough room to dig-in without clanging all over the place. Live, the bass sounds superb - fantastic ability to cut-through (obviously dependent of FoH staff) but sits very neatly in the mix. As above, pretty much anything from nasal Jaco to dub tones. An extremely handsome bass and one that I'd love to call my own... I just really struggle a bit with the Jazz body shape. GLWTS - I'd doubt that this will hang around

    Damaged Head

    If you look at the link below (to the Repairs section on Basschat), you should be able to find a recommended luthier that is fairly close to you. Most decent luthiers would be able to sort out a break of the nature that you've experienced fairly quickly and easily (and without ridiculous expense).
  4. very lovely indeed - studio standard and found in some really high-end live rigs. These are very expensive now, especially with the ears - looks like a bargain to me!
  5. Born on Monday. Isn’t she lovely, just a few days old etc. Absolutely stunning, brand new bass from a first class seller at an amazing discount. As an Overwater player, I can recommend most highly, and this is a fantastic spec!

    Relisted

    What a really lovely looking thing and I like the added pickup - very cool bass indeed
  7. Definitely one of the nicest and most realistically-priced CS Js I've seen - a very lovely bargain. I've had a few CS/Masterbuilt Js and all were impressive instruments - each played very well indeed
  8. Flatwound strings, light use - nice and clean! I think these are Fender (from the ball ends) and feel like medium gauge - cut for a Fender P or J. Silks in decent condition. £7 includes shipping to UK
  9. Bridge and pickup covers for a Precision bass - nicely aged but not battered. Includes aged screws. £20 includes shipping in the UK
  10. 3 aged Precision scratchplates, all in excellent (aged) condition. All 13 hole pattern. One Limelight 4ply tort, one 3 ply mint green, and one anodised aluminium. Sold as a job lot only I’m afraid. £40 includes UK shipping
  11. Lovely sort of Alembic/CT hybrid - fantastic price for a hand-built neck through imo
  12. Stupendously lovely bass, stupendously lovely seller. I’d never heard of MPU and now I need one. Looks to be a fab price for such hand-built quality (and a filter circuit)
  13. Absolutely gorgeous - I love these. I saw one in a shop in Paris around 1980. I already owned a fretted, maple Ripper but was rather taken by the two-tone sunburst on the fretless and hadn't been previously aware that they were available. There aren't too many of these basses around ('wonder if it's the same one and it made its way to Ireland?) I didn't have the cash at the time and many years on I realise that my fretless playing is inadequate to justify an emotional purchase. Weird though, I remember vividly my first sighting of such a lovely bass. It made such an impression that I had my Ripper re-finished but in 3TS within the year. GLWTS, a lovely instrument with a distinctive character and tone (and a pic of mine!) - and a Bump for a fabulous bass, of course
  14. A very beautiful bass - I'm a big fan of the stack knob configuration and the burst on this looks lovely. I had a relic '64 and it was a fabulous instrument in so many ways. Many of these CS instruments really are impressive. If I may say so, a very realistic price on this too (IMO of course)
  15. Original Lakland cream case - £40. Good functional condition but used and several marks, scratches, scars etc. In the tolex. These are really beautiful cases (indeed, my favourite), though this one has been gigged. All latches work but no key. This is packed and ready to. I can ship in the UK for £10. Collection is possibe from Manchester
  16. ahh...thanks for the clarification - I didn't know this (and to be honest, I didn't spec either of my basses but find them supremely easy to play and endowed with an extremely useable range of essential and classic Fender-type tones)
  17. I'm not sure if the sunburst counts as a custom shop but it was certainly a custom order - bound and pearl dots J neck with a Lollar pickup installed at the factory
  18. I too saw the Gumtree ad - it looked very mucky in the original images - looking cleaner now (but the funk is still in the frets)! I used to have one of the these - fabulous growl and great playability
  19. And very impressive it was too - from what I remember, there was an SVT and fridge rig
  20. Unless I’m going nuts, with Musical Youth outside the town hall in Birmingham - maybe around 2015?
  21. Congratulations on the acquisition - fantastic amps! I use a DB750 in a Rhino foam sleeved 4u rack. It’s an excellent case and isn’t too deep - it’s also not ridiculously heavy, though of course, it’s not lightweight. They’re around £140 from Flightcase Warehouse. I’d strongly recommend - great, quick service and delivery too. You’ll see here that mine’s on a wheeled board - also from FW
