    Nordstrand Nordymute Maple 20. This is the 20 mm version for vintage style basses. I'm selling it because I prefer palm muting. NO TRADES! NON NEGOTIABLE PRICE! Asking price in GBP is just an indication as I only accept Euros (25 here) and it DOES NOT include shipping, which will be at cost!!! Shipping to United Kingdom is, of course, possible, but with an extra customs fee (VAT + other taxes + courier fee), because U.K. is now outside EEC. Non-smoking environment as usual. What you see is what you get! Link to the Nordymute website page: https://nordstrandaudio.com/products/nordymute?variant=12119135060037 Don't hesitate to ask for more.

    D'Addario Chrome ECB81 (45 -65 -80 -100) cut for a Fender headstock (4 in line) with 3 turns around the tuners. The strings have been carefully removed from my Nash P-Bass 63 after more than a year of intensive use, so totally broken in, but with plenty of life. I replaced them with DR Strings Legend Flat Wounds that are more flexible and closer to that Motown tone I want now. NO TRADES! NON NEGOTIABLE PRICE!

    Nice job, Harry.

    The longer the cable, the less the treble. It's also another trick with passive instruments. 😉

    Flatter.

    Wow, I knew something like that existed!

    Not the Joe Dart models, which are all passive. 😉 https://www.music-man.com/instruments/families/basses/joe-dart And the two artist series models from Sterling by Music Man including another variant of the Joe Dart. https://intl.sterlingbymusicman.com/collections/artist-series-basses

    Just unscrew the geared wheel of each tuner and put some vaseline under on the friction part, it will work very well afterwards and your Eko will hold its value.

    Love this crystal organ!

    In the parallel mode the purple and red wires are connected together to the ground (earth), so your wiring is similar to a standard jazz bass. In the series mode, the purple wire becomes the connection between the two pickups, so the earth is the black wire of the bridge pickup, then the yellow wire of the bridge pickup is connected to the black wire of the neck pickup and the yellow wire of this pickup becomes the output of the humbucker. These two last wires can also be reversed if your newly created humbucker is out of phase. In this series mode, only the neck pickup volume will work.

    The Luminlays can charge in day light, just put your bass near a window during daytime. Or you can use the only led light really working for these luminescent dots: https://meisterworks.myshopify.com/collections/luminlay-products/products/luminlay-ll-1 I have Luminlays and luminescent dots on several basses and I have tried a lot of UV lights that only charge them for a few minutes when the official one gives you around one hour of visibility.

    And the most important part has been been forgotten... The weight, unless it's what the name says. 👹

    You have two distinct earth wires because of the series function. In other words, the neck "earth" wire can't be connected directly to earth, because it's the cold point allowing to have both pickups in series, that's why you have two other earth wires to connect wherever you want on any pot to create the earth, for example where the earth of the bridge pickup goes. It's a lot of earth, I know. 🤦

    Yep, it looks like a copy of the original Leduc designed Logabass made by Sanox... If it's as good as the original, it will work flawlessly. Also check the original Kubicki headless bass bridge as it's quite similar too especially the way it works, but came later.

    This not against you @Pow_22, but how could it be a 1984 instrument when the neck is from the second part of December 1985? Fender never owned a DeLorean, so it would be great if people like Bass Bros stopped talking nonsense even if the serial number is linking it to 1984 ... up to 1987, which is here the missing part for the E series. You date instruments by their youngest part, not the oldest. This is what your serial number gives: Concerning the missing "Made in Japan", it may have been omitted as @Doctor J said or carefully removed by a previous owner...

    And sold! 😊

    On their latest AeroTech iteration Gr Bass uses a sandwich panel were the two outer sides are woven CF and the inside a damping material, so an inert panel stiff enough to be glued and braced. I have photos of the inside of one GR Bass AeroTech 212 slim cabinet: there is no other damping material and it works very well. The downside of the inside covered with glassy woven CF is that if something like a residue of soldering tin moves and vibrates it can really drives you mad thinking there's an issue with a speaker, so beware of the bass reflex ports that can let anything very small go inside... I also need to find the video where the sandwich panel is shown.

    Warwick Corvette Standard 2003, made in Germany, black hardware (changed as it was originally chrome) and turned into passive by a previous owner. NO TRADES! NON NEGOTIABLE PRICE! Asking price including shipping fully insured with tracking number to your place in these European countries (ask for other countries) : Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France (excluding French overseas departments and territories), Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxemburg, Monaco, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and United Kingdom: €800 Euros (£675 GBP is an approximation and I will only accept payment in Euros)!!! Shipping to United Kingdom is, of course, possible and included in my asking price, but with an extra customs fee (VAT + other taxes + courier fee), because U.K. is now outside EEC. Here are the specifications : Body: 2 pieces bubinga Neck: 3 pieces ovangkol Fingerboard: wenge Positions: 24 bronze frets (slightly marked) Headstock: 2 + 2 Tuners: Gotoh GB7 Pickups: 2 original Warwick Dynamic Correction Jazz Bass type Preamp: none Controls : volume, blend and tone Bridge: original 2 pieces Warwick Strings spacing at bridge: 19 mm Nut: original Warwick Just-A-Nut Strings spacing at nut: 10 mm (width 38 mm) Scale: 34 inches Hardware colour: black Truss rod: one, dual action, 100% functional Finish: natural oil Country of origin: Germany Serial number: E-099509-03 Year: 17/05/2003 Weight: 4.475 kilos Action : from 1.5 mm under the G string to 2 mm under the E string at 12th position (can even go way lower, but was perfect for me) Will be delivered in a used and worn Warwick Rockbag Deluxe (Musik Produktiv Edition). Non-smoking environment as usual. The bass has been fully set up professionally. It has received a new set of Warwick Red Label nickel round wound strings (45 - 65 - 85 - 105), which really serve this bass. What you see is what you get! Look carefully at the photos taken from different angles and lights to see the real condition, which is very good, with the usual very light scratches and a few very small dongs. Due to severe back problems (67% officially disabled because of it) plus left and right shoulders injury (it's really painful to reach the tuners), I'm selling all the basses I'm not using like this one as well as some stuff I don't use. I've also considerably lowered the price for a quick sale. Don't hesitate to ask for more.

    I've owned and sold Jazz Basses and Precisions from each year between 1964 and 1983, except for 1965, which is quite strange as it was the one I was looking for, you know YOB... All I can say is that the 1964 models I owned had flamed maple necks with Brazilian rosewood fingerboard, my only 1968 Jazz Bass had Lollipop tuners when it was supposed to have the new non ® Fender models, one 1966 Jazz Bass had dots with binding and that the Precisions were totally coherent all over the years. Now, yesterday evening I checked a lot of 1965 and 1966 Jazz Bass models on the internet and saw a lot of 1965's with Lollipop tuners and none with a binding as @Belka said which is quite strange to me and all the written history of Fender, but it would be even more strange if all these were fake... So, from now on, I'll believe that indeed Leo Fender mismatched these two features when interviewed and there must be some corrections done in the books. Thanks @Belka for this as it's really important to me for accurate dating. @Burns-bass : The 1965 is described in the title of the video clip as a late 1965 early 1966 model as Andy Baxter was certainly in doubt too... Not having a rear headstock strap button on CBS models from the messy 1965~1968 years is not that unusual, don't worry. 😉

    This must be it. 😉

    Nope, you should also read Klaus Blasquiz's book "The Fender Bass", who, IIRC, is the only author to have met and interviewed Leo Fender himself as well as a lot of people involved in Fender's history. So the Lollipop tuners were introduced in 1966, first on the P-Bass and the binding was first used in mid to late 65, but as usual with Fender this does absolutely not mean that the new features were used immediately as they also used existing parts first... Noel Redding joined the Jimi Hendrix Experience in September 1966 and switched to bass at that moment and seemed to have used any bass available at the beginning, including a Dan Electro in Evreux France on the 18th of October 1966 for their first official concert. He then switched to the Jazz Bass for a while, but according to all footage not before 1967, so maybe he bought his Jazz Bass at the moment and it's a 1966, not a 1965, with Lollipop tuners indeed and no binding, but that's absolutely not unusual if you know Fender history... The Noel Redding Signature bass based on his main Jazz Bass is a recreation of a 1965 Jazz Bass with Clover Leaf aka Elephant Ear tuners.

    Phil Jones amongst others have this luggage handle on a few cabs, so no it can't be patented. 😉
  25. Hellzero
    Superb work and I like the luggage handle that I had on a few cabs, it's very useful. Congratulations!
