  1. Hi- I'm not a massive fan of the hartke heads- used to have a 3500 years ago thanks for the offer though ;D R
  2. First gen model, the yellow 450watter- it's massively punchy and loud, a great 'best of both worlds' amp- being nicely clear but still very warm. I've used it to great effect on many a gig paired with a markbass std102h front ported 2x10- perfect with a 5 string. It's in great condition, a couple of very minor paint scratches but it's been kept in the markbass bag all its life (included) I'm after £275 No trades this time as I've just bought an LMK. russfcox \at\ gmail \dot\ com based in Saltdean, Brighton- viewings welcome r
  3. bump- £90 shipped
  4. is this still for sale?
  5. where abouts are you based?
  6. Hi Nik, I used a markbass front ported 2x10 with burning organ with a 5 string exclusively- it was as big and bassy as I'd ever need- I still use the same combination now, it's perfect for 5 string and takes anything I can throw at it. If you want to try it out, I'm only in Saltdean R
  7. [quote name='bassbloke' post='46969' date='Aug 17 2007, 08:38 PM']Can I just chip in and say this is a v. good price for what is essentially a new piece of kit. I paid £135 to get my JZ3D (deluxe) into the country and the JZ3 only lists at $10 less in the first place. It's also a rather spiffing sounding preamp.[/quote] Indeedy- It's a great preamp but my jazz just sounds right passive, it's a bit overkill having this installed only to use the bass boost a tad ;D
  8. reduced to £95 shipped in mainland uk r
  9. I'm actually half tempted to get this alongside my 75 reissue cij jazz
  10. I've absolutely no idea how much this would be worth but I am interested- do you have a rough figure in mind?
  11. Ishibashi have been excellent- my jb75 is excellent- better in build quality than the usa jazz I had a few years ago the tuners aren't as smooth as the american ones but they do the job
  12. I've got the nat/rosewood version- it's excellent, the build quality on mine is BETTER than my old usa S1 jazz
  13. I'm going to be on holiday for a week from tomorrow morning- I'll reply to any messages as soon as I get home. r
  14. [quote name='NickThomas' post='40217' date='Aug 1 2007, 09:28 PM']Hey Russ .. do you have any sound clips ? How does it compare to a J retro? Cheers, Nick.[/quote] Hi- I've taken it out of the bass it was in so can't get you any sound clips I'm afraid- there are some on the website linked in my first post though- I've not played a bass with a j-retro- the audere is pretty much transparent though, set flat the mid z mode is fairly similar to the passive tone. low z mode is earth shaking- the eq is very very usable
  15. Hi Guys- I bought this new from the states, whacked it in my '75 reissue jazz for a day and have realised, why do I need an active preamp in it- i get all the sounds I want from a jazz from it with stock passive electronics- It is however a fantastic preamp, the low Z mode is awesome and the battery light is awesomely handy- bloody easy to install, no soldering. [url="http://www.audereaudio.com/JZ3.htm"]INFO HERE[/url] Mine's the Vol, mid/balance, treble/bass + z-mode switch version. I'm after £90 [reduced as of 21/08] shipped anywhere in mainland UK OR a trade/part exchange for an ampeg/trace tube preamp of some description- or possibly a sansamp (although that mid cut is a pain- i've had 2 in the past) It comes boxed and was only used for yesterday and this morning- comes with spare bits to crimp the ground wires (metal sheath and shrink tubing) Russ russfcox: :at: :gmail: :dot: :com
  16. Hi- I've got a vintage/70's fit jazz bass pickguard from wd music here- I bought it for my geddy lee originally but the guy who bought it preferred the white one- Fits a geddy lee jazz apart from one or two holes- it didn't both me just leaving them as is 3 ply black/white/black- only taken out of the packet to check it would fit- as new £10 delivered russfcox 0at0 gmail 0dot0 com
  17. I just today got hold of my jap '75 reissue jazz today- I'll stick up a review in the next couple of days r
  18. sold pending payment
  19. I've just weighed this bass after being asked by someone- It's just below 8lbs and therefore a very light example- I've read that most of these tend to be pretty heavy, around 10-12lbs. God I hate imperial - I long for the day we make a proper switch over It also has a set of the following pickups in- a BIG improvement over the originals- highly noticable on the bridge pu which is now much fuller. The whole sound is a slightly beefier version of the originals.

  20. [quote name='bass_ferret' post='38700' date='Jul 29 2007, 11:30 PM']I would get the GB Spitfire that Ian is selling.[/quote] although great basses- they don't really sound like a jazz with the dual coil pickups- I haven't tried one with single coils though
  21. I've also owned both- Both are excellent basses but I personally way prefer the Marcus- The preamp is better than many make out, when used sparingly, I do prefer it in passive mode though- A passive tone control would be nice but I didn't really miss it. I found the non standard neck profile on the Geddy to be far too shallow aswell. I am selling my sunburst mm jazz, but only because I have a CIJ jazz on its way- It's an excellent instrument and I'd highly recommend it. Russ
