  1. Ah indeed! So far my reference vintage pickup. Still clean and no noise and lots of thump, love it from neo soul to punk rock and in between. like I said I’ll regret it but my other two basses gave Nordstrands and thought I’d round it up with an NP4V…
  2. A couple pickup options removed as sold already. You won't regret buying this fantastic bass!
  3. So my reference pickup is on sale...! Genuinely my most favourite vintage but present/punchy tone. I'll probably regret this but here we go. These are new for £140 so I reckon decent price for a hand wound pickup! Postage on top.
  4. Well! Mr. White got new covers with some foam at the base…
  5. And the radius I’m not entirely sure, would say 9.5”?
  6. Hey Dave! Thanks for taking good care of him 😀 the contrary for me, always after these jazz neck p basses…! The gig went great and really enjoyed Bristol! Can’t always bring mementos this nice from a gig so that made it nicer yet!
  7. Thanks a lot for the heads up buddy, I would have missed out with this crazy week otherwise! Ander.
  8. Well. So the story is I tried to buy this bass some 2 months ago and it ran out of my hands when it was in Milton Keynes right next door to me in Northants. Because I had missed this chance I started bothering folk to see if they'd let go of one of their jazz necked P basses - that's how my Olympic white came to me. Thanks to @Reggaebass and encouraged by @Cuzzie, I was made aware this charcoal frost bass was back on sale! In Bristol now.... just where I had a gig last night! So this beautiful, gorgeous bass came with me: The colour of this thing is sensational!!! Very very well achieved, like the Sean Hurley P - but also can look almost grey in many pictures/light angles And the whole family together: the purple for my punk rock band and dirtiest tones with a Nordy P blade, the Olympic White is the bright and punchy one with a Nordy NP4A (can totally recommend this pickup, the punch of a stingray and grind of a P!), and this new addition will go likely on an NP4V with labella flat wounds... AND YES, I'M INSTALLING THE JAGUAR MUTE!!! Will report on that...! I have to add I love how different each bass is, you'd think all of them being jazz necked p basses they'd be redundant, but a change of pickup/strings and they're totally different - even before plugging them they've different tones....! I'm a happy happy happy guy! Ander.
  9. If I do it'll be me the one that's hanging from it!!
  10. Haha! folk can't complain that I don't offer flexibility aye?
  11. This monster of a bass is available, built by @walshy - great reviews on his builds around here and can testify to that! Loving everything of it but I ended up with another Limelight P jazz necked and I only have 3 hangers for basses. Swamp ash body, Maple neck with Ebony board, Gotoh Resolites reverse tuners and badass bridge. CTS/Switchcraft 250k loom. Options: 3.75kg, 8.2lbs weight. Satin neck, Nitro finish. Shielded so no noise. Matching headstock, big TV Fender logo. Spotless. Light and resonant, deep tone. https://www.thebassmonkey.co.uk/basses-1/p/custom-precision-bass-lake-placid-blue 1. As it is, with Limelight '62 pickup - £850. 2. Add Hiscox case as new +£60 3. Add Thomann black case +£35 4. Add Bare Knuckle '58 pickup, +£80 5. Add Fender CS '62 pickup, +£65 Shipping on top - or collection from Northampton / London where I travel often-ish. Best, Ander.
  12. oh yes, who would've thought - gone through 5ers, Stingrays, sadowsky jazz's, Alpher customs, headless Ibbys... only to find my way back to a wall of P's, now all of them jazz neck'd and Limelights! One for dirty stuff, one for punchy/bright/all rounder and this one for the vintagey motown vibes. I'm a happy man (hope it lasts, also I only have 3 hangers )
  13. Ah, I'm well chuffed, thank you - I'm already rehearsing my 'it's not black, it's Charcoal Frost' to my repertoire of sentences Followed shortly by 'yeah i'ts less than 2 years old' and 'look at the nitro cracks'. I'm that original sometimes. Already looking at labella flats...
  14. It's coooooming hooooooomeeee!!! @Reggaebass and @Cuzzie, thanks gang! Not sure that my missus would thank you, but that's another story!
  15. Oooooft! And I’m in Bristol this week 🤣 thanks @Reggaebass!
  16. Letting go of this fantastic pickup. Does all that you'd expect out of a late 50s and 60s pickup. Good bottom without being boomy, cuts through and great warm highs. I love it but letting go as I prefer a more modern / hi gainy profile for the bass this was in. £95 posted. Covers included. New these come at £145 and over if you look online.
