  1. I wonder how many of those links still work? An amazing record. 🥹
  2. I typed "BRITISH_BASS_MAKERS_v1.pdf" into kagi.com and this looks right? No download though https://issuu.com/janberendsen/docs/british_bassmakers
  3. Back on the market - I'm away for a week, but let me know if you're interested - I'll probably part it out when I get back
  4. Ok! Last chance before I PART HER OUT. A shame, but needs must when the devil drives!
  5. Mainly working - see https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/508107-now-free-casio-cz-5000-part-working-collection-only-north-london-£100-obo/ for details. collection only n8 - must go by Friday! After that it’s going to the tip
  6. collection only n8 - you pick up or it goes to the tip this week! Amazing synth in pretty bad shape. Plays well, you can load the presets and all the buttons appear to work. BUT the mod wheel and pitch are broken and one key is sticky, oh and the battery compartment is corroded so you can't save patches. Chorus works, sequencer is to complicated for me to check. I'll throw in a new battery compartment. I don't know if the mod wheel is salvageable as is or would need replacing. Collection ONLY from North London, N8 Open to offers! I'd like this GONE.
  7. I have a medium scale Warmoth build going cheap if anyone is interested?
  8. Any body want this? Yours for postage. A single sided pcb for a 360 preamp plus build guide. dm me
  9. I bought this for project and it worked, but I've moved on. Having a clear out, so must go! Guitar Build, Oxford made this to order, fits Fender body. Rosewood finger board over maple. Plug her in and she's ready to go! Brass nut and hipshot style string retainer (I don't remember if it's actual hipshot or just the style). Note the rosewood fingerboard changes depth over the length of the neck - doesn't affect playing or the overall profile if you get me. Light oil finish - could easily be refinished with a quick application of sand paper. I would describe this neck as on the chunky side of medium. Not a jazz neck! NOT FENDER, but I'll post in this Fender box. £15 for UK postage, £115 to you right now!
  10. I think I set it standard fender, so 2.5mm - the photo angle got all weird when I was trying to avoid my shadow and stuff so it probably looks lower than it is.
  11. Yes I do! sorry the website is super confusing. This photo reminds me that I did a little work on the nut as the G was too close to the edge for me. It's super glue and bicarbonate of soda - not really noticble unless your looking right at it. I am open to offers!
  12. Looking at the website it says 48mm - I'll verify with some calipers - hopefully this evening
  13. Note, I had the neck material wrong - it’s roasted maple and pao ferrao. Thanks @benebass for the correction!
  14. I bought this from @benebass in 2020. It's a Warmoth neck and body with Gotoh tuners. The finish is sort of red sunburst - lovely in person. I think it was professionally finished, though I forget the details. It's beautiful but does show up scratches as you can see in the pictures. Check the pictures for condition! It plays well, hardly any fret wear. The neck is roasted maple with pao ferro fingerboard. It’s a lovely and solid piece of wood with nice grain. Comes with ash tray and geezer butler EMG p-picks with EMG passive loom. Feel free to ask questions. I paid £375 for it 4 years ago and that is what I'd like, though I'm open to offers! £25 postage or FREE COLLECTION, comes with case, fresh Newtone Diamond hex core stanless steel round wounds AND a set of Labella flats that was on there. This bass would be great taking on mustang duties in a funk band, or anywhere that clear punchy medium scale P tone is required. I haven't played for a few months but here is a clip straight into a preamp of me messing around: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/xxwd0snv3tc7cgmmjc110/WamouthMedium.mp3?rlkey=lke97atv3mh3sy5sw49nq8wtt&dl=0
  15. In my mind the the words resonant and resonance are distinct - for example lee sklar talks about trying to find a nice resonant body (see video linked below 3:25), which I would describe as light and with a more crystaline inner structure - you tap it and can hear it is resonant. An example is alder body vs a swamp ash body - the swamp ash is 'desirable' becuase it is lighter and stiffer, more resonant. The same principle applies to roasted maple neck - if you want it, you want it because it will be lighter, stiffer and more resonant. Whether any of that makes a difference is of course up to you. You are of course right to say resonance is a problem and causes a variety of issues.
