    Still for sale - make me an offer

    Bump. Gigged this last night, and the urge to keep it is now strong... Come at me before I pull it!
  5. Jack_Stroud_Bass
    Absolute stunner

    Zero to hard-on in 0.483 seconds... a new record I think! Shall be in touch if my jazz bass sells, but I imagine this won't hang around long...
  7. Jack_Stroud_Bass
    Yes, you don't see them often. When I was at BassBros buying it, I tried a few other maple / maple natural 70s reissues, but imo this one was much better (hence why I bought it!)

    UPDATE - PART EX'D. PLEASE REMOVE. THANKS. FOR SALE: USA American Vintage Re-Issue 1975 Fender Jazz Bass, made in 1999. Bought from Will @ BassBros in May of this year. Has done some domestic and abroad gigs with me over the summer. Stunning sounding instrument, lovely rosewood fretboard bound with block inlays in a stunning sunburst. It comes with the ashtray bridge and pickup covers too. Set up to my liking with a set of DR round-wounds on them. It's just short of 5KG. Lovely period-correct case. The only change I made was to add strap-locks. Can leave these on with the strap if you like, or I still have the original ones. Located in Stroud, Glos. Happy for buyer to come down and try it out in a no pressure environment. Not interested in trades, as I already have basses to go back to. Open to sensible offers. Would prefer buyer to collect, or happy to arrange a meeting at a convenient meeting point. Can look into couriering but would be at buyer's risk and cost. Reason I'm selling is after a few months of playing I still keep wandering back to my EB MM Stingray and / or USA Precision bass. Any questions, of if you want any pics / close ups etc please feel free to drop me a line and I'll be happy to help out. Thanks, Jack

    Wow. Bump from me. I used to have the SWR 750X, Son of Bertha and Goliath 410. Really amazing stuff. Arguably the best bass sound I've ever had! GLWTS.
  10. Jack_Stroud_Bass
    Same. Whack it all up 100% and let the soundie sort it out! Never have a problem hearing myself that's for sure! Obviously there are compromises to be made. If I was doing a jazz kinda gig then the above wouldn't suit, but seeing as when I was doing it, I was mostly playing funk / rock / metal I found everything on full usually did the trick! Plus, to my ears it seemed to be the setting that gave the Stingray it's distinctive sound.

    This is my dream bass! I'm only in Stroud too. Alas, it is just not my time. Good luck with the sale, I'm sure it won't hang around long. 😊

    Chucking my two cents into the mix... I love my Stingray. I have a 1991 four string in teal green, rosewood board, birdseye maple neck and the bridge with the mutes. Hands down my favourite bass in my small collection - the others being Fender Jazz and Ps. My favourite thing about it is the build quality. The Fenders (All USA models) don't come close. It's incredibly well balanced too. It makes me look like this...

    One last bump before I remove this and keep as a back-up

    BUMP! Markbass rig + case still for sale in Stroud.
  17. Jack_Stroud_Bass
    Hi Leftfret, Yes, still for sale and all in working order. I have sent you a PM. Thanks, Jack
  18. Jack_Stroud_Bass
    EDITED: Selling as a whole rig only.

    06/07/22: SOLD. PLEASE REMOVE. FOR SALE: Markbass rig - 600W Little Mark III head - Traveller 102P cab on top - Traveller 115P cab below It's all housed very satisfactorily in a trifibre hard case - so it's in pretty good nick. Case has wheels / castors so can easily move it around. I am selling for what I bought it for in Nov. last year, so not open to offers thank you. It's in Stroud, Glos set up at a rehearsal space. Bring your bass, have a play and I'll make the tea. Reason for selling is we can't fit the whole thing and our PA in our small van. Gutted. Trades? Well, I'd really like to try a Barefaced 4x10... *22/06/22 - Edit - After being asked, I am only selling this as a whole rig / unit and won't split as it's all housed in the custom made case. Please feel free to ask any questions. Also for sale is the LM Vintage Head. Separate ad for that here. Fender precision bass not for sale. Thanks for looking. Jack

    Bump!
  21. Jack_Stroud_Bass
    Vintage in it's own right
  22. Jack_Stroud_Bass
    Well, it was hard to compare sound as the two naturals had roundwounds, and the sunburst had flats. I very much went with my gut feeling and didn't try and over-think it too much. As soon as I saw it, I preferred the look. Once I sat down to play it, it felt more comfortable and I was able to express myself a little better on it, like I wasn't fighting it. Don't get me wrong, the others were fantastic instruments, but the sunburst just had something the others didn't.
  23. Jack_Stroud_Bass
    Yes, me too. When I arranged the appointment with Will @ BassBros, I had full intentions of trying and buying one of the two natural 75 RIs he had in stock. There was a '03 and a '06 from memory, both maple and black blocks. When I arrived, this was there too. I tried it third after the two naturals and lo-and-behold this one was the one for me! The flats work excellently for the music I play - blues, americana. What's more, the limitations imposed by the covers... Once you get used to them, they're not so bad to play around. I find my right hand in one of two positions- either between the bridge and neck cover, or thumb on the thumb rest at the neck position. It kinda forces you to play in a certain way. I'm enjoying the challenge!
  24. Jack_Stroud_Bass
    Absolutely stunning. I've been in love with the idea of the Modulus ever since "Off The Map". Wal and Modulus are both bucket list basses for me. In the best possible sense, hope nobody buys them!
  25. Jack_Stroud_Bass
    It's in amazing condition - the pics here are after a full setup and clean too, so it's very much in "presentation condition", unlike me...
