Yes, be aware those Jamerson's are not only 110's but being flats they have a lot more mass to them and they are like ship's hawsers!

[quote name='Aero' post='800899' date='Apr 9 2010, 02:32 PM']Yes, its been a 'spare' for a while now so I decided to cash it in. I've effectively got a second rig to sell, H&K 600 plus Eden 1x15. [b]I would consider px with a Status Graphite fretted Jazz neck.[/b] How's the Thunderfunk, is your reply going to give me more GAS? cheers Fran[/quote] Hmmm is my TF reply going to give you 'more' GAS Fran? Well, I've personally A/B'd the TF against the best that HK (BB600), Aguilar (DB750), Mesa Boogie (M-Pulse), MB (SA450 +LMK), TC Electronic (RH450), Warwick (Pro-tube IX) and a fair few others have to offer and I'm still holding onto it; closest to give it a run for its money was a Glockenklang Bass Art but that ran out of steam at gig level. If you get the chance to try a TF just leave the EQ flat and if it doesn't 'quite' do it for you, just give the Timbre & Enhance controls a tweak... sonic nirvana for me! I have to confess when you were listing your HK rig on eBay a couple of years ago, I watched it and returned time and again, considering pulling the trigger but 'size matters' these days.

FREE bass, if you buy gigbag...

[quote name='Happy Jack' post='800812' date='Apr 9 2010, 01:19 PM']Being an incorrigible cynic (an "incorrigible" is like a hot air balloon, only you can't correct it) I can't help but notice that listing it this way effectively wipes out your consumer rights on the bass ...[/quote] Oh my that is a good spot HJ! Even I'm not cynical enough to have spotted that take on things... but you are correct! -
[quote name='silverfoxnik' post='798154' date='Apr 6 2010, 10:35 PM']Always fancied one of these; [b]are they as good as the reviews say[/b]?[/quote] In a word 'Yes'! I loved mine and only sold it as I wanted to go lightweight... I bought a pair of MB heads to replace it but they quickly made room for my Thunderfunk. Was your rig on eBay a few years ago Aero?

[quote name='loweringthetone' post='800768' date='Apr 9 2010, 12:39 PM']After the initial deluge of requests Ive got only one set left. The outer sleeves of this set are tatty, but each string is in a cellophane inner and is the same unused condition as before. I'll throw in a loose extra 1st , if anyone wants this set. £16.50 posted to UK, as before Also have a few singles at £3.50 each : 2x1st, 2nd, 4x3rd or £17.50 the lot posted[/quote] Shame my set hadn't arrived this morning as I'd have probably had the full set and the singles off you.. need to see how they'd fit the Bolin.

Fender Jazz Bass USA American Standard 2004 "original"
warwickhunt replied to ikay's topic in eBay - Weird and Wonderful
What am I looking for? The serial number checks out as a USA 2004 and it doesn't look like an after market tattoo (why would you put a 2004 set of transfers on a bass if you were trying to dupe someone). The cover is in the wrong place but the guy admits that in the listing. Have I missed something glaring? -
[quote name='thedonutman' post='800110' date='Apr 8 2010, 07:38 PM']Update: The guy has emailed me back: - He assures me the fretboard is Ebony (Am I going crazy? I have two slotted Ebony fretboards on my shelf along with a Jackson guitar that has a Ebony fretboard - looks and feels [i]nothing[/i] like what's on this) - The original JANII was replaced with the Brass nut - £100 refund I'm not sure what to do at this point. £100 barely covers the work I'd want done at minimum, which is a nut replacement, setup (and possible a fret level). And I'd have to shell out more than that to strip the finish to get the bass the way I'd really like. In the interest of being nice to the guy I could just take the refund and try and sell the bass on to get my cash back. Do you guys reckon £650 would be a reasonable price for it? If not, I think I will get a full refund.[/quote] The fingerboard [u]IS[/u] Wenge not Ebony! I bet the guy wishes that he'd taken my earlier offer of £600.

[quote name='Stag' post='799929' date='Apr 8 2010, 04:13 PM']Cheers for the replies chaps - it turns out its a case for an EB3L or EB4L so isnt suitable anyway... back to the hunt![/quote] Wouldn't a Hiscox/Gator/SKB style case do? My Bolin SC (LP shaped really) fits my SKB case.

[quote name='fluffo' post='800068' date='Apr 8 2010, 06:51 PM']If you paid via paypal then put a dispute in with ebay, you got 45 days to do this from time of sale, ebay don't care about sellers in the slightest only buyers ,wait the time it takes to go through and they will give be you your money guanteed, don't leave any neg feedback this will only fuel a fire, in other words do it after its settled.[/quote] Have we actually quantified what the dispute 'is'? I'm not taking sides or trying to come down on the OP but afaik it hasn't been established that there is a fault with the truss rod/neck and imho the frets are OK, not brilliant by all accounts but it's a used bass and I'd not be that upset about their condition, the nut is a replacement which has left a gap but the nut does its job, maybe the seller should have stated that the nut isn't original but it is very easily put back to original. So what is the beef?

[quote name='oldslapper' post='799812' date='Apr 8 2010, 02:08 PM']The other SC's are a bit too sophisticated looking fer me, I'd be afraid people would think I knew what I was doing with one of those around my neck! Keep the look simple, [i][b]lessen expectations.....[/b][/i] [/quote] or you could pick up a set of drumsticks... folks would have real low expectations then!

[quote name='WalMan' post='799491' date='Apr 8 2010, 09:15 AM']Sounds like taking out the LED cost it cost you around £400. Is that reasonable for a Warwick, I don't know but it sounds it? Then again as before, what do I know[/quote] Retrofitting LED's to a bass is a personal thing (especially if they are your initials ) and unfortunately no matter what the cost to have them done it is money ill spent as it doesn't increase the value of your bass by the cost of fitting. If they cost £400 to have fitted at best they'll add £100-£150 to the value of a standard bass BUT in some circumstances the LEDs can actually devalue the bass... especially if they are someones initials. The eBay seller did state that he was knocking £120 off the cost of the bass if the buyer wanted to have the LEDs taken out and to have normal inlays fitted; in fact he offered to have the work done (obviously not then discounting it £120). Love the idea of LED's but they are a bit bling!

It might sound daft but a pair of 1x12's is greater than the sum of the parts... hmmm that doesn't sound convincing! A single Aggie 112 is OK (nothing more imho) BUT two of them are so much better it's really revealing when you get a pair together. As for the MB410; it's ALL down to personal taste but I wasn't blown away by the one that I tried. However the DB12's that I got just weeks after trying the MB410 were a significant improvement (for what I wanted ). <edit> Having read NGH's comment I should quantify that I play in a 'rock' band and a single 12 doesn't do it for me even at rehearsals but I can appreciate that a quiet acoustic gig may be a different matter!

[quote name='throwoff' post='799380' date='Apr 8 2010, 12:20 AM']Depending on the year its either on top of the headstock or on the back[/quote] Like the man says ^ but seeing as how it has a volute and the guy claims it is an 02 you'll find it (or not) on the back of the headstock running down between the tuners. I say 'or not' because you tend to find that the painted models have the serial number filled in with paint during the finishing process!
