  1. I'm afraid that I cleaned up my imgur, after I sold the bass... 😶 It was for a good cause though. Ill see if I can source the pics and repost them for those interested.
  2. It seems like those terribly matched pieces of wood are especially to be found on the mustangs of the 70s. I've seen it a lot while searching for a nice one. Now I own a 71 jazz (around 3,85 kg) which is really resonant and acoustically loud. It sounds deep and growly with rounds, though I now have TIs fitted to see how I like them on this jazz. This is definitely one of the best sounding jazzes I've owned, along with a classic 60s Mexican Reissue and Yamaha jb600r.
  3. Selling some pedals I don't need: The ones that have a box/paperwork are shown on the additional pictures. Asking prices per pedal are given below. TecAmp Dream Buzz deluxe Cool German made fuzz pedal. The pedal has a great range of tones, which makes it pretty versatile. Please note that the icon on the pedal says it requires a 9v DC centre negative power source. This is a misprint as it actually needs a centre positive adaptor. - - > Now €135 The pedals are located in the Netherlands, but shipping (buyers risk) is not a problem.
  4. The necks on these basses are fabulous. Soundwise it's the best PJ I've played too.
  5. Re: 3 bolt neck mounting. Indeed the 70s 3 bolt Fenders can be a bit loose. It's not to hard to stabalise though, by putting chips of wood in the right places. I've got a good result on a '75 by narrowing the body holes for the 3 screws by inserting wood chips, and adding a thin slice of wood in the neck cavity where a gap was on upper horn side. Since then, it was much more stable.
  6. Yamaha Attitude LTD ll Lovely top of the line Yamaha Attitude (Billy Sheehan signature) in a nice sea foam green finish. This has the stereo output jacks, D-tuner and scalloped frets. The bass is in reasonably good shape. It has several dents/scratches around the body, but overall it looks fresh and looked after. All hardware and electronics function like they should. This bass has a thunderous sound (ideal for rock), but can also sound a bit more mellow with the neck pickup engaged. Pictures: The original case is included. This has some wear and tear, but is solid. I took this bass as a partial trade recently, but don´t need it for myself. Asking €1500 The bass is located in the Netherlands, but am happy to ship at buyers risk and expense. I am not really looking for any trades at the moment, unless you are shifting a decent 60s Fender that your willing to trade in combination with my Ric or Modulus. I might also consider a mid 60s Fender Duo Sonic ll guitar with original case.
  7. Heavy Metal Tele comes to mind. Edit: a quick Google seems to confirm this.
  8. I dont have a pre EB stingray lying around to compare. But my memory says its similiar to the old sabres ive owned. I think nut width is 42mm (should measure to be sure), but less chunky (thinner back to front) than a modern Stingray. Its a nice punchy sounding bass
  9. I bought a very nice Andre van der End bass from Lee. The service from Lee was a great experience overall. I received updates with every little step in the process, which I very much appreciated. The bass itself is really nice, and was well packed. Shipping was sorted swiftly too. Id happily deal with Lee again in the future. And of course I can recommend him as reliable member of the BC community. Mods, please feel free to censor this feedback if it is too positive 😁
  10. Fernandes SB-85 Very nice and rare Stingray inspired model from Fernandes. This bass is bass on the Stingrays from that Era, so with 3 bolt neck, slab body bullet truss rod... The bass is in reasonable condition for its +/- 40 years in existence. There are scratches and dents (a few deeper ones on the back), but nothing structural. The original preamp has oxidation (will include it in the sale), but an original Music Man Preamp which has been fitted now. Some wood has been carved out of the cavity to make the preamp fit. Pics: I am located in the Netherlands, but I am happy to ship at buyers risk and expense. Asking €675 No trades please, the funds already have a destination:) UK buyers please contact me before purchasing so we can find out what's the best option given the current situation.
  11. The white pickup cover really finishes this one. Simply effective 👌
