    I'm going to replace this with a cheaper bass (possibly a P/PJ bass, so will accept those in part-ex), as it is only being used as a back-up bass and that's a bit daft! It is a 2009 USA Fender P bass which had the P pup replaced with a Nordstrand and the J Nordstrand pup fitted all done by The Gallery; at the same time they fitted the Badass III bridge which retains the original thru-body stringing. The bass is immaculate and comes complete with the latest Fender hardcase with the 4 clasps, all case candy and truss rod bar is there. These latest models really are cracking basses, with great attention to detail like rolled fingerboard edges etc. the bass has approximately £250 worth of extras added. The bass is 9lb in weight and any subsequent trade offer would have to be a 'maximum' of 9lb but ideally lighter. The only other bass I'd be interested in is probably a MM Sterling ideally in a sunburst/cherryburst. [s]£750[/s] £725

    Are you interested in trades Geoff?

    I have a pup for sale with the ability to alter some of the frequency centres... Not sure if it would be better or worse but it might be just what you need! [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=87409&hl=sd+pup"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=...9&hl=sd+pup[/url]

    [quote name='molan' post='859418' date='Jun 6 2010, 10:43 PM']This really is the only bass that I have any kind of serious GAS for. Out of my price league though - I should really have jumped on the last one hat came up for sale here [/quote] +1... though it's not the 'only' bass that I have GAS for!

    Had my moulds done at 'Specsavers' (don't laugh) 3 weeks ago, so they should be with me for next week. I went for 15's in the end as I'm not playing as loud as I used to and at the end of the day 15db reduction is preferable to no reduction and damage to my my ears (I have been using a type of preformed plug for about 8 years any way).

    [quote name='Clarky' post='855656' date='Jun 3 2010, 08:23 AM']Last one on this site went for £700 [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=19257&hl=Jass+Deluxe"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=...;hl=Jass+Deluxe[/url] while a 5'er of the same model went for £800 ono. You can search the FS forum. Sorry to disappoint but depreciation on used Fenders is a bit nasty (I know having sold a few myself!)[/quote] It may be worse than the OP imagines Clarky, as the bass you've linked to was actually a USA 'FMT' model... Some Deluxes have sold for even less than £700... £650 [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=81362&hl=jazz%20deluxe&st=20"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=...eluxe&st=20[/url] £600 [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=82145&hl=jazz+fender+deluxe"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=...z+fender+deluxe[/url] There have been other similar basses advertised for more but they tend to sit around for a while (with one famous example taking quite some time to sell). Good luck with the sale though.

I love the way in the space of a couple of hours the same person incrementally checks out the other bidder and bids it up... I always shy away from these auctions!

    Sunbeams all the way for me as well

    Don't use a lot of wax (if any) on the neck and not on the fingerboard as the residue isn't that great for player comfort (or string life if used on the f'board). If the bass is in regular use then the natural oils from your hands will be sufficient to keep the neck oiled and as has been said a wipe with lemon oil when you're changing strings will do the trick. You can wipe the back of the neck with a light wax but if it needs a bit of extra polish just use the lemon oil you use on the f'board. As to some Warwicks looking very polished etc, you'll find that player use/wear is the best thing to get them looking good. The older boards look a lot more slick than 'some' of the newer ones and part of that is use, part is the cut of timber used.

    Is this your amp Oliver?

    Warwick SS I basses have the P reversed and logic does dictate that it would tighten the E & A strings but you have to ask why old Leo did the way that he did in the first place?

    Official Chrysler items. Don't have the keys but an allen key fits them on and off. They must go in the next few days as we are moving house next weekend. Free if you collect them from Blyth, Northumberland.

But you're in the Extreme North / Boreders (....not much to do up there) John. This was more NY ..... and nice to meet-up with another BC'er in person...[/quote] Yes us 'run-away-Jocks' are a bit isolated and by crickey we're suffering/burning under these present weather conditions!

    [quote name='OldGit' post='843687' date='May 20 2010, 11:32 PM']£270? for a 1212L? Wow .. Bargain. Did you win?[/quote] Looking at the BC user ID and the partial eBay user ID... I'd say yes!
  18. warwickhunt
    At that price you aren't far off the price of a USA bass. If you can stretch your budget a bit I have a 2009 USA P bass with added pup upgraded to Nordstrand pups AND a Badass III (inc' case and candy/tools etc.) admittedly maybe £200 more than the bass you are looking at but that 'certainly' won't lose its value!

    [quote name='GotStuckRecord' post='843150' date='May 20 2010, 02:23 PM']I've just put a Sterling Version of your Buttercream Stingray up on ebay... [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110535729427"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...em=110535729427[/url] It's a lovely instrument but it was just never being played (seeing as I'm not actually a bass player). Adam[/quote] Thanks for the offer Adam but I sold my Ray version of this locally for a large wedge less than you have yours up for; that leaves me well short of making your BIN price.

    I saw the band's ad and your response elsewhere and this does appear a pretty cack handed way to manage a band! Wouldn't care but I thought the band's music sounded canny.

    [quote name='bassbuddy' post='841639' date='May 19 2010, 04:30 AM']Anyone interested in buying a nearly mint Peavey B-Quad 4 Brian Bromberg Signature bass? This is an extremely versatile bass guitar, suitable for several playing styles.[/quote] Forum rules say that you need to state a price; pics and a full description will 'massively' speed up the process for you!

    Admittedly it is another SD but I have one of these available... [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=87409&st=0&gopid=839930&#entry839930"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=...mp;#entry839930[/url] If you just want to experiment then there can't be much cheaper ways than buying used pups as you are unlikely to lose a great deal of value if you decide to resell.
