Ned S worked with John Bolin a few years back and produced what would count as the forerunner to this Radius Wav; light, superb balance and even though it is headed, the 'horn extension' foreshortens the 34" scale neck... even the body shape is a direct take on the Bolin. Ned is a bit of a whizz mind!

Where does it say 11.5lb?

I suppose there's a sliding scale whereby if 'everything' is as it was when manufactured and nothing has been swapped out even for OEM parts then that is the pinnacle, after which any replacement affects value, gradually shedding parts that you'd anticipate might wear out, till the point where you have refinished/modded/replaced main instrument parts and the value is significantly affected. There will come a point where replacing parts might make something a better player/more useable and the value might be slightly higher than if it were stock but unuseable.

[quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1454689014' post='2972130'] A private sale is exactly that; a [i]private [/i]sale. There is no obligation on the part of the seller to reveal who the buyer was, [u]and it's not considered good form to enquire[/u], generally. A buyer usually relies on the good faith of the seller to respect that privacy, including the terms of the sale. It's not written in stone; just a question of etiquette, as suggested in the title of this topic. [/quote] IYHO A 'private sale' can mean as you describe but it also applies to a non-commercial sale. I personally don't think it's bad form/etiquette to make an enquiry; the seller is within his rights to say 'No' but equally I might say "I'll contact the buyer and let him know". It's not unheard of for buyers to fall out of favour with basses as soon as they get them, especially if you can't try before you buy. I see no breach of etiquette implied or otherwise.

[quote name='fezzza' timestamp='1454425654' post='2969621'] Cheers for all the advice! Definitely going via interparcel for this one! [/quote] Good choice. [quote name='fezzza' timestamp='1454425654' post='2969621'] Excuse my ignorance as i've never had to deal with couriers before but will the shipping of my bass be tracked and signed for to ensure I don't get scammed by the other party, I.e: he claims he hasn't received it, etc... [/quote] How are you being paid? Read up on the whole paypal thing if that is the method!

I use finger(s), pick, thumb, drumstick... whatever it takes and anyone who says you 'must' use one OR the other is a fool!

The fret buzz is a process of elimination and something we could all likely throw ideas at but most have been discussed. Low rear pup output; I think part of this depends on your expectation. I've never found the rear pup on any PJ set to be 'powerful' in comparison to the neck unit, even when adjusted correctly but MEC do need to be adjusted quite close to the strings. Ideally you need to get another SSI and do an A/B (too far from me). I'm no whizz with the electronics side but can you not get an imbalance in outputs from a pan pot if the value of the pot isn't correct, are the pots original or could one be failing?

We'll pop round to the Geordie guys house if you like!

[quote name='JTUK' timestamp='1453493892' post='2960104'] I'd say someone would get a great set-up for £800.... but like all these things??? [/quote] Just saw a mint GS212 sell down the road from me last week at £350 and the month before an AG500sc went for less than £350... so that's a great set-up for £700!

Easiest thing to get an accurate true value is do a search through the BC sales section. Problem with asking an open question,is that someone thinking of buying will say less than the true value (after all they want it cheap), folks who have them or looking to sell, will want to say more than market value! :/ The truth is that they are worth what someone is prepared to pay.

Never ceases to amaze me!

Does mixed speaker diameter and EQ get much discussion? As a non-technical type bassist, I always wondered (way before t'interweb) how you EQ your signal when using mixed drivers (separate cabs). Common sense would dictate that if you were EQing your sound it would be a compromise between the cabs, whereas identical drivers/cabs would take the same EQing... does that make sense?

[quote name='Dazed' timestamp='1452709174' post='2952757'] Nice zon marcolisticuffs John why not just add a mag pup ? [/quote] Buffering between the two systems would be a minefield. Going to bite the bullet and just look for another Zon.

[quote name='King Tut' timestamp='1452722641' post='2952953'] Might help to say where you're based :-) [/quote] I'm guessing from FB page it's Laandan!

Soooo tempted to take the Lightwave system out of my Sonus and drop in Barts. Love the Lightwave system for 'everything' except palm muting, which due to the way it works means you don't quite get the same thud as mags give.
