For sale my FrankenFender p-bass in glossy black, black scratch plate, maple neck, gold hardware, EMG pickup. All quality fittings and nicely put together. I bought it in August last year from fellow basschatter Davetbass - [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=59113&hl=davetbass"]here is the thread[/url]. Put together nicely from quality bits - I believe the neck is Mighty Mite. No idea what the body started life as. There is a cheeky Fender JAzz decal on the headstock - neck is jazz skinny but a tad deeper than my Jaguar. It looks magnificent. It plays and sounds just like you would expect. Generally it is in great condition -some buckle rash at the back, the front is largely blemish-free. There is a dink on the bottom end I have tried to picture. The finish at the rear base of the neck has been removed at some stage - I guess when fitting. The EMG pickup sounds great, though the output does seem less than my Jaguar bass. No idea if this is what you would expect but I thought I would mention it. I need to turn the amp up a tad to get the same volume, but when I do it performs nicely. I bought it as a back up bass but have been well and truly bitten by the inscrutable Matsumoku bug and just bought a JapCrap one for this purpose - this has to go. I would like £175 - if you come and pick it up from Benfleet in Essex that is what it would cost. Posted in a sturdy box and sent via Parcelforce 48 it would be £190. I have a tweed Fender-a-like hard case I don't require - posted in that would be £205. Collected in that £190.

For Sale, my Squier VM Jazz fretless. I bought it around 6 months ago from fellow Basschatter Lateralus462 (Chris) - [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=46992&hl=lateralus462"]here is the thread.[/url] I put some Rotosound 'TruBass' black nylon flats on it which, to my ears, made a large improvement. It is in exceptionally good nick - I won't say 'As New' - there's a tiny bit of rash on the back but you have to search for it and no dinks I am aware of. Chris put a granite effect scratch plate on it, which I have kept on. Like it or not it is there and, if removed, would leave some holes. I took it to one rehearsal, played it at home half a dozen times and it has been sat in a gig bag apart from that. There is nothing I need to say about these - generally considered to be the best value for money fretless you can get and one of the jewels in the Squier crown. But not for me. I play in two rock covers bands and am unlikely to ever use it so it is a waste. I am looking for £160 - what I paid but I put new strings on it and some fuel to get it. If you come here (Benfleet) and pick it up that is what it will be. Add £15 for Parcelforce 48 delivery in a sturdy box and well padded. I have a tweed Fender-a-like hard case I want shot of, either with this, with my other bass or on it's own - if you want me to post it in that add £30. (Or, if you want to collect it in the hard case add £15) Payment either cash on collection or Paypal.

[quote name='Higgie' post='800466' date='Apr 9 2010, 02:04 AM']That's really nice. I wish I could afford it![/quote] Maybe you can now? Bump for a price drop.

And mine! Lightening quick response.

Again, thanks for that. Maybe I should keep it?.... And a very Happy Gilmour to you to Mr Schnozz.

[quote name='ianrunci' post='797459' date='Apr 6 2010, 12:52 PM']Definetly cort, its a 1994 model the N being for nineties and the first number the year[/quote] Thanks for that. Nice to have it confirmed. How do Cort guitars rate compared to other factories? I've noodled around on a couple of Squier strats and this is the best one, but I imagine there are a lot of frogs out there.

Now surplus to requirements, I bought this in May last year. To save me taking any extra pics I've included those sent to me by the guy I bought it from. He said it was based on an early 90's Korean (Cort factory) model s/n CN 432959. This one is the original neck and body, in similarly good overall condition (the neck is not new but there was almost no fret wear and that has been polished out. The Gilmour mods include plain black scratch plate, stubby whammy bar, 'Gilmour switch' that activates both neck and bridge pups, higher output pots, rewire and extra shielding as per picture. [attachment=46551:strat1.JPG] [attachment=46552:strat2.JPG] [attachment=46553:strat3.JPG] [attachment=46554:strat4.JPG] [attachment=46555:strat5.JPG] [attachment=46556:strat6.JPG] The pictures say it all, really. Sexy beast, isn't it! There was a slight issue with one of the higher frets catching, I had them dressed and now it plays beautifully and sounds, well, like a strat. I have a soft Fender gig bag, the not very padded ones, that it lives in. I took it to one rehearsal, played it at home for a while and then it went back in the bag. [s]Could be yours for £200 including the bag and postage, £185 collected from SE Essex.[/s] Am I mad? now £185 inc. bag and postage or £170 collected.
