    I saw that. He can, of course, stick any asking price on it but I wonder if it will sell for that? You'll need Group4 to take yours to gigs at this rate! I wonder - should I get a refinish on mine, or leave it tatty? Inclined to leave it tatty, especially as the pickups are not stock.

    And a bump for this 'virtually as new' condition black beauty Edit - Trades - I'd be interested in swapping for an Aria Pro II CSB 380 or 450. Black, single pickup model. Ideally the 'Black N Gold'. We can discuss money +/- depending upon model and condition...

    Mike bought my Peavey Fury in an outstandingly smooth and easy transaction. This is the second Peavey Fury he has bought from me - I am tempted to buy another one just so I can deal with him again... Thanks Mike, enjoy that neck!!

    Mike bought my bitsa fretless Jazz bass in the easiest of deals - he collected, too - no packing! Cheers Mike

    I love all my basses but nothing quite does it for me like that woody old P bass.

    Early Westone Thunder 1A just popped up £100 BIN. 'needs a service' - even so that is cheap!

    Can I have one, please? PM on its way.

    Worth it for sure - surprisingly good even as stock. I had one, did the mods Fozza did and suddenly had a grown up giggable instrument. Lightweight, think neck, great tone from the DiMarzio, if a little one-dimensional. But if that is the tone you want you are laughing. Neck dive is an issue but a wide grippy strap helps. And you might find you like shortscale - my EB0 was the first shortscale I had and I love them! Edit - I believe my old one is for sale on here, a couple of owners further on. A black one already with a DiMarzio for £90. The Hipshot bridge has gone, though.

    Sold pending usual

    And sold bar the shouting. Thanks!

    Selling my Peavey Fury bass. Passive, P-bass type split pickup with *very* skinny neck, just 37mm wide, also very shallow indeed. This is one of the best models with the line around the headstock. Mid 80s ('86 or '87, I think) this is in exceptional condition for a bass that is nearly 30 years old. Bright red, white scratchplate, maple neck with rosewood fretboard. Sounds like an aggressive Fender Precision, can be tamed if necessary by judicious use of the tone or stringing with flats. Weighs around 8.5lbs. I had *really* bad GAS for one of these a while back and Flat Eric of this parish sold me this from his collection. Shallow, I know, but had it been in black I would have probably kept it - I find bright red hard to live with. But I have too many basses and this has to go. Not to say that if a black one popped up i wouldn't buy it as I think these are *superb*. Nothing complicated about these - but everything about it is quality, even the tuners are really sold and smooth. The neck in unbelieveable. Totally knocks spots off a Squier but for Squier money. £150 collected from SS7, £165 posted, will meet halfway or deliver within 50 miles for fuel.

    Selling my Squier Deluxe Jazz in black with matching black headstock and black ebonol fretted neck, no scratchplate, chrome knobs (volume, pup balance, bass/treble stacked and mid-sweep) and an in house Squier high mass bridge that looks much like a Gotoh. These are active - comes with a 3 band eq and a 'slap switch' that, as far as i can see, is fairly superfluous. Battery compartment is a quick flip one, works well. It is in very good nick and looks fantastic. Plays even better - when I first got it I had to raise the action as it was set too low! Lightweight at under 9lbs, narrow neck at 38mm and very shallow. Sounds like an active Jazz bass - EQ expands the tones quite nicely. Selling it because I have decided I just don't like Jazz basses much and I can get the particular Jazz bass tone I like from my Precision Lyte, so this has to go. Even though it is much prettier than the Lyte. Edit for price drop 01.05.14 [s]£200[/s] £180 collected from SS7, [s]£220[/s] £200 posted, meet halfway or deliver within 50miles for fuel.

    Decided my old thread was a complete mess by the time I had changed things around a few times, so started a new one with new pics Bitsa Jazz bass - body unknown, age unknown, pickups/electrics unknown, fretless ebonol neck from a VM Squier. Sunburst finish with a few scratches and marks, especially around the back. Black scratchplate from the Bass Doc. Strung with flats, plays and sounds like a fretless Jazz bass should. Weighs in at a shade under 9lbs, neck width 38mm and quite shallow. £105 collected from SS7, £120 posted, can meet halfway to hand over or deliver within 50miles ish for fuel. [attachment=160086:P1000430(1).JPG][attachment=160087:P1000431(1).JPG][attachment=160088:P1000432(1).JPG][attachment=160089:P1000433(1).JPG][attachment=160090:P1000434(1).JPG][attachment=160091:P1000435(1).JPG][attachment=160092:P1000436(1).JPG] That isn't earwax on the back of the tuners. I cleaned off the earwax yesterday. Ta Paul

    Jon, I think the Silver Series were basswood or similar. I had an E series Jazz that was MDF. It actually sounded fantastic, just weighed too much.
  18. Paul S
    Dunno, might do. PM heading your way..
  19. Paul S
    And again!

    Just played it through my proper rig - Genz Benz Streamliner 600, with both gain knobs at 12 o'clock, treble on the bass turned up full. The hum is barely audible, eben when cranked up to full volume. I've now thrown away the lead I use at home! Nevertheless, a £105 fretless, now virtually humless, Jazz-type bump

    Beauty is most definitely in the eye of the beholder. For me, this is the perfect bass shape and colour. Simple symmetry of the double cutaway with a 2+2 headstock. In shiny, high gloss, plain solid black - you can keep yer fancy woods [attachment=159883:wash8.jpg] Shame it was 2 lbs too heavy.

These are very nice! Not for me, though.

    Bought Dave's Westone Thunder 1A in the smoothest, quickest, easiest and most painless of transactions you could hope for. Arrived almost immediately, beautifully packaged. It was even in tune when I took it out of the box! Brilliant stuff - cheers Dave!!

    I am 'reasonably' new to the world of basses, having bought my first one about 10 years ago. Since then I have been edging towards my 'perfect bass' in what has become a fairly major campaign of trial and error (lots of error). As time progresses I am getting a clearer idea of what I like and don't like about bass guitars and what all the various makes and models can offer. But I am constantly curious about instruments I have yet to try that ostensibly 'fit the bill' - so keep buying and trying. The problem I have is releasing the ones that don't 'quite' hit the mark as they each have good points, even if they aren't perfect.

    Some interesting stuff there! Does the Fender neck fit straight in?
