[quote name='Beedster' timestamp='1390334109' post='2344220'] You know it's a funny thing, but I've known about the Roscoe Beck for about 10 years and it's only really now - with immaculate timing - that I think of it as a Jazz! I'd always seen it as a sort of half-way house between Jazz and Precision, the best-of-both-worlds Fender (which to be honest, it is). This had been both reinforced by its looks, which to my eye are more Precision than Jazz, and its reputation. But yes, having played it several times now, Michael's spot on, this is a - possibly the - 'super Jazz' It certainly does a lot more than Jazz Bass, but that's where the core tone is centred, and all other tones are either side of that. I must admit part of me wants to stick on some La Bella Jamersons and check out the neck PUP in series to see just how vintage a Precision tone I can get, but of course the problem with doing that is that I'm likely to lose some of the very versatility that I bought the bass for (although even as I write I'm thinking about it some more....). So yes, Super Jazz is about right [/quote] I think you're spot-on with this assessment Chris.. I've had 3 Roscoe Beck 5 strings and I felt they were more of a Jazz bass than a P bass.. Great nonetheless in so many ways, but still , ultimately, its more of a Jazz bass tonal palette.

Hope the move goes well, Chris..

Great photo! GLWTS

I'm amazed this hasn't gone yet, especially with the Badass II thrown in! And yes; look forward to catching up with you at some point when you're back in the SE, Chris..

BUMP for a very nicely priced and well spec'd P bass! Goes without saying that Chris is always a pleasure to deal with and what's more, after this sale, he's almost certainly going to be on Mastermind this year with his specialist subject being 'Buying & selling P Basses on Basschat'! So if he says it's a good 'un, it's definitely a good 'un..!

Friday morning BUMP!

..Wednesday morning and 'it's not raining cats & dogs' kind of BUMP !

Cheers Gareth..will PM you.

Hi Folks I have this quite rare [b]Reussenzehn Daniel D[/b] valve pedal for sale for which I'm asking [b]£65 [/b]+ p&p. Recently serviced and in full working order, this is quite a rare piece of kit that produces a [b]really warm, valvey tone[/b] that makes a huge difference to the overall presence of your sound when playing live!! And as a bonus, it provides a significant [b]gain boost[/b] which is particularly useful if you use passive basses like I do.. It's currently fitted with a [b]Sylvania 12ax7[/b] from [b]1976[/b] (that I got from Walbassist earlier this year) which can be bought with the Daniel D for an extra [b]£20[/b], which is what I paid for it. Otherwise, the unit will come fitted with a more generic 12ax7 valve.

It's a rare beast, but there is some info about it on the net here if you want to know more: [url="http://www.reussenzehn.de/"]Reussenzehn website[/url] (Look on the 'Musiker' page under bass preamps) [url="http://www.harmonycentral.com/products/104143"]Harmony Central[/url] [url="http://www.effectsdatabase.com/model/reussenzehn/danield/bdl"]Disco Fred's Effects database[/url] According to the website, these retailed at [b]189 Euros[/b] new but I'm looking to for [b]£65[/b] plus P&P in the UK, which is quite a bit less than I paid for it 3 years ago here on Basschat. If you're interested and want to know more, please ask here or PM me. Thanks for looking Nik

Hi Gareth Happy New Year! Hope you had a good one... I need a 12AX7 for my Hughes & Kettner Bassbase 600 head; what have you got left valve-wise, if anything? Cheers Nik

[b]NOW SOLD - thanks for looking![/b]

Fabulous bass.. and quite rare too! GLWTS

Thanks Alex! You're absolutely right; these are very well made cabs and because of that fact, I did consider at one point putting in some neo drivers to up the power handling and bring the weight down a bit. Other acquisitions got it in the way of that little project unfortunately.. All PMs replied to BTW

Hi Folks [b]NOW SOLD - THANKS FOR LOOKING[/b] I bought this from Moos3h here on Basschat 2 years ago in order to run it as part of a two-rig set up along with my SWR Triad, but that plan never really happened. In the end, a combination of too few gigs and not enough space at what gigs I've actually done has meant this has been little used.. Which is a shame as it's a great little cab that sounds pretty sweet (to my ears anyway), isn't too heavy and is in good condition for it's age. The recent acquisition of a Schroeder 21012 means this will get even less use, hence why I'm finally putting it up for sale. [b]Photos:[/b] [attachment=151565:20131121_100528.jpg] [attachment=151566:20131121_100506.jpg] [attachment=151567:20131121_100540.jpg] Here's the SWR blurb about it: [i]"WORKINGMAN'S 2x12T Bass Cabinet enclosure. The workingman's 2x12T was a great sounding two way enclosure featuring two custom designed 12" Celestion speakers. The WM 2x12 came standard with the "Texas Bar Proof" metal grill. Aluminum input panel.[/i] [i]Power Handling: 250 watts, Impedance: 8 ohms Size: 23 1/4"W x 23 1/4"H x 18 1/2"D Weight: 55 lbs Input panel features: Parallel 1/4" input jacks (In & Out ) 3-way switch for horn ( 0db, -6db, off.) Aluminum construction. Production period: 1995 to 1999"[/i] More blurb here: [url="http://www.swramps.com/en-GB/support/vintage.php/#wmspeakers"]http://www.swramps.c...php/#wmspeakers[/url] I'd be happy to post this but obviously, would particularly welcome interest from anyone local to Littlehampton, West Sussex. And if you are local and would like to come and hear the cab in action for yourself, then you'd be very welcome. I'm going to be putting a few more bits and pieces up for sale over the next couple of days but have to head out to a gig now.. But if you have any questions about the 212, or if you'd like any more photos, then please ask here or PM me. Thanks for looking, Nik

I had 1 of these basses about 10 years back and it was surprisingly good.. It had a great sound due to the P/J pick up configuration (which admittedly I am a fan of) and it was very nice to play. Perhaps that was in part down to the through-neck design? Whatever it was, it certainly punched above it's weight for a budget bass. So GLWTS and have a BUMP on me!
