    Pair of Vintage style stacked chrome knobs. I was fairly sure they were from a J East P Retro but the appearance and outside diameter sizes don't match those on the website - possibly an older style? Shaft sizes are the same, so they would fit onto a P Retro anyway. Whatever they are, they are good quality - chrome plated brass. Top knob is dome-topped, 19mm diameter to fit 6mm shaft. Lower knob 24mm diameter to fit 8mm shaft, both fixed via grub screw. £10 posted, £8 collected from SS7, paid by PayPal gift please. [attachment=169417:knobs.jpg]

    HJ those are very good, thanks for the link. I have a single bar set which I would like to augment but hesitated because of the extra tripod - your very workable idea has solved that! I wonder if the lights can all be connected to work in unison, even though different manufacturers?

    I saw them at Wembley June '78 during what turned out to be the 'Live and Dangerous' tour. Pretty much set the bar as far as me and live music are concerned - I've enjoyed some gigs nearly as much since then (a couple this last year, as it happens) but nothing has bettered that night. Slightly as an aside, I saw a Lizzy tribute band a few days ago - Limehouse Lizzy. It actually brought back a lot of memories. The band were very good but the front guy was absolutely amazing. He didn't try to mimic Lynott or dress like him (black stingray with mirror plate) but he had great stage presence and very reminiscent of Lynott. Well worth seeing if you haven't before.

    [quote name='cameltoe' timestamp='1408228518' post='2528298'] From my research I got the impression they used the same neck profile on both the J and P's. [/quote] Yes - I had a Silver Series Precision as well and the neck was identical to the Silver Series Jazz apart from the logo! That P was also lightweight - a really fantastic bass.

    At 3.7kg this is going to be basswood, not fibre. I had a fibre E series Squier Jazz and it weighed around 4.5kg. Also had a basswood Silver Series Jazz and, yes, both sounded equally good and exactly like Jazz basses. I can't speak for this one but my Silver Series Jazz had a 40mm wide neck at the nut, so slightly wider than the usual Jazz bass. A very good size, I think.

    Artec SE-2 onboard preamp. 4 controls - vol, pickup balance, treble boost/cut, bass boost/cut. Good bit of kit for the price point.

    From a 90s MIJ Fender Precision. Nice old school thump, bit scruffy, wires not that long. Covers are not removable. £20 posted, £17 collected from SS7, PayPal gift. [attachment=169124:MIJPpup1.jpg][attachment=169125:MIJPpup2.jpg]

    [quote name='SubsonicSimpleton' timestamp='1407919724' post='2525256'] Maybe you need to change your strings. [/quote] A set of something like DR High beams will certainly make it ring. This guy manages to get a nice slap tone from a Precision http://youtu.be/C5QYSu9xaTE

    How light is 'nice and light' please - can you weight it accurately? Ta.

    Pete bought a set of Wilkinson tuners from me in a speed of light, smooth as silk transaction. Been an absolute pleasure!

    On eBay, a Tokai BPW 55 bass. Not seen one before. [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/JAPAN-VINTAGE-TOKAI-BASS-REVOLOUTION-WORKS-55-VERY-GOOD-CONDITION-/251597472273?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item3a9460c211"]http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/JAPAN-VINTAGE-TOKAI-BASS-REVOLOUTION-WORKS-55-VERY-GOOD-CONDITION-/251597472273?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item3a9460c211[/url] Anyone any idea? Not that I am interested in bidding, just curious.

    Used it again, still has to go, really. So bump for a 'get yourself a great bass for little money'
  19. Paul S
    I would say that the best value for money consistently would be the Silver Series Squiers - MIJ early 90s. I've had both Silver Series Precision and Jazz basses and they are both great instruments (the Precision particularly - fantastic tone) and I haven't read a bad opinion about either. And they don't go for silly money either. But, as had been said but worth repeating, try as many as you can as you will most likely be surprised. My most recent bass has proved to be the best I have played - comfortable, superb tone, lightweight, great neck and build quality - does all the things I have been looking for in a bass. Passes the 'Stevie Wonder Test' with flying colours. It is a 1984 MIJ Squier medium scale Precision - who would have thought?
  20. Paul S
    Ah! I see now. What a good idea! Thank you for coming to my rescue.
  21. Paul S
    And sold pending the usual.

    I bought this on here some while back, been meaning to do something with it but don't have the inclination. Neck from a Squier VM Precision. 40mm at the nut, so kind of skinny for a Precision. Has been defretted. Badly. Pic is fairly representative of what is going on along the whole neck. Truss rod work! It had a painted headstock when I got it, so I stripped it and managed to burn the wood. Also comes with a free string tree (can't get the bugger out) Make a good project, probably best if re-filled and sanded or re-fretted £15 posted PayPal gift or £10 collected from SS7. Or nearest offer. [attachment=168941:neck1.jpg][attachment=168942:neck2.jpg][attachment=168943:neck3.jpg][attachment=168944:neck4.jpg][attachment=168945:neck5.jpg]

    I bought this on a whim for something that was never really going to happen. Bit too much of a stretch for my DIY skills, to be honest - took it out the box when it arrived, put it in my spares box where it has sat looking derelict ever since. Preamp, pots and associated gubbins for Westone Thunder 1A. No idea what the input jack is all about. Looks like some of the wires have come adrift from the pcb. No idea if it works, sold as a do-er upper. £12 posted, PayPal gift, £10 collected from SS7 [attachment=168938:preamp1.jpg][attachment=168939:preamp2.jpg][attachment=168940:preamp3.jpg]

    NBD oldie, rare

    Paul S replied to Lorne's topic in Bass Guitars

    Just needs a tort pickguard and it would be perfect! Lovely. I've always wondered about these. I have space in my 'collection' for a body-less, head-less bass currently occupied by Hohner B2A. But every time one of these puts its head above the parapet I wonder... Or any of the 80s MIJ ones - Washburn Bantam or, particularly, the Aria Pro II Interceptor.
