    [quote name='bassbluestew' post='709475' date='Jan 11 2010, 10:06 PM']On the subject of the neck.............from what can be seen of it, it looks VERY like the neck on my 77 Ray . If the pick up is original, could the control panel / pots be original ?? If so, well worth £200, in fact a positive steal, and wacking into a nice Warmoth body !!! S[/quote] Some of the parts are original and the neck does have a value but bids were pulled that indicate folks were prepared to pay big money... in which case some fools may still think it is all MM and bid £1000+

    [quote name='john_the_bass' post='709576' date='Jan 11 2010, 11:13 PM']I did look at HK stuff, in the same price range as the RCF kit we were looking at, it didn't impress like the RCF stuff did. If we were prepared to double our budget on the other hand, some of the HK kit was ace, but at a price.[/quote] We had the same dilemma/views. Ended up getting nearly new RCF powered tops and a single RCF bin; unfortunately, out of the OP budget!

    [quote name='Ou7shined' post='708422' date='Jan 11 2010, 12:59 AM']Yup I think we've seen it before too quite a while back. Different pics this time - I remember it standing up the way.[/quote] I agree, I recall seeing this one. However, this is a newly registered user so I wonder if it is a scammer copying an earlier listing (idiot could have at least copied a proper MM) or if it is the same guy using a different account as he doesn't want to sully an account that he has, that has decent feedback (you can legitimately have 2 accounts)!

    [quote name='molan' post='708320' date='Jan 10 2010, 10:51 PM']He does sound genuine but you can never tell. Interesting spelling. . .[/quote] SNAP! <edit> and interesting retracted bids!
  5. warwickhunt
    I wouldn't buy it based upon the fact that his spelling is getting worse by the minute... Oh and before you shoot me down, he doesn't suffer from Dyslexia, he's either plain lazy or wishing to appear dumber than he actually is, which matches in with his tack of; "I don't know what I have"! However you can 'deside'. <edit> How ironic... edited for a typo!

    "cheers for that but like i said in m write up i know nothing about guitars and if you have noticed about it then im sure others have too. kind regards eith" So he's not going out of his way to clear matters up!

    Plenty cheap power amps and desks available. I'd suggest getting an amp that would appear to be a lot larger (powerful) than your present needs suggest. Some of the Yamaha desks with built in effects and one knob compression are pretty damn good. We've recently gone the route of powered speakers which aren't cheap (and you'd need to budget for a desk as well) but it has been worth it in terms of sound quality... assuming we are excluding the sub that we recently picked up.

    Now relisted for £180!

    So is it just me who thinks that it is basically a basket case that is going to be a shed load of grief to put right, which at the end of the project will still not be worth the intimated values the seller seems to indicate?

    [quote name='ialma' post='706112' date='Jan 8 2010, 10:48 PM']I've been always conceptually interested in the Zon basses, but I'd love to try one before buying it, just to avoid (as happened dozens times) to put the hands on an instrument and to be completely disappointed. Too bad I live far away... Free bump for the Zon anyway![/quote] Where do you live?

    [quote name='Crazykiwi' post='705908' date='Jan 8 2010, 07:26 PM']still, its not like anyone is going to be ripped off. The reserve was very reasonable given the value of the parts.[/quote] I have to disagree. Where in his listing does he state that a part or parts (or everything except the neck) of the bass are not genuine Musicman parts? It could be argued that he doesn't know that most of the bass is cobbled together so to give him the benefit of the doubt (even though it has been pulled by eBay previously) I'm going to point out one or two of the inaccuracies and see if he responds positively; if he doesn't then he is trying to rip people off!

    It may well help but I've just measured the length of the string from ball end to the beginning of the silk wrap and the E string measures 34", the G srting is 36.5"

    [quote name='Happy Jack' post='705747' date='Jan 8 2010, 05:07 PM']Can I just mention that, as an avid eBay watcher, this must be at least the THIRD bass to turn up recently that is (allegedly) ex-Haydock. Even if they're genuine, the one aspect of provenance that they all share is a complete lack of any evidence to support the claim.[/quote] I'm glad you mentioned that as I thought it was me having a senior moment. Why choose Haydock of all people?
  14. warwickhunt
    As wrong as a wrong thing! Prior to looking at the listing I read what Dave said about the pup being misplaced and I expected that his expert eye had picked up that it might have been a few mill out of place... jeepers it's that far back you may as well call it a piezo. Oh and what's going on with that neck plate?
  15. warwickhunt
    Dead easy to make your own... must be easy as I cobbled one together 20 years ago with the minimum of DT skills.

    [quote name='BottomEndian' post='705360' date='Jan 8 2010, 12:07 PM']IIRC (and Dave might correct me if he finds his way onto this thread), it was his first bass, so it'll be the one that he bashed out Buzzcocks and Undertones covers on [u][b]through his youth[/b][/u]. Which probably halves the value again. [/quote] Dave... "in his youth"... nah never happened, he was born owld! Soz Dave it had to be done!

    [quote name='desh' post='705181' date='Jan 8 2010, 09:50 AM']Thanks for all that. Could they have done a 3/4?[/quote] Nope! The JV's only ever came as a full 34" scale. However if anyone has a short/medium scale bass and feels the need for some flats... [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=72792"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=72792[/url] Shameless I know but it just might be what someone is looking for.

    4x10 dilemma... buy a pair of TC 2x10's and stack them end on end! No seriously, I would.

    [quote name='BassKS' post='705421' date='Jan 8 2010, 01:19 PM']if these were full scale.....[/quote] ... I'd keep them!

    Brand new, 'opened' but never fitted, boxed, set of regular light gauge strings by D'Addario (made in the USA). Chrome flats, ECB81M. 045 - 065 - 080 - 100 Medium scale 32" £14 I just bought these off a fellow BCer (for the same price I'm selling) and I went to all of the trouble to get him to check that the G string would fit my Bolin (seeing as how I've snapped x2 LaBella & x1 Thomastik G strings due to the Bolins short span from nut to locking tuner and there isn't enough silk wrap/taper)... however completely forgot to check the other 3 strings would fit. DOH! Needless to say I could fit the G string and then three strings from the LaBellas but they are going to be tonally completely incompatible. So if you have a short/medium scale bass and want a cheap set of flats... here you go.

    Brand new, unopened, boxed, set of Enhanced Molecular Protection Stainless Steel strings by Warwick (made in the USA!) i.e. Coated as per the Elixirs etc. 045 - 065 - 085 - 105 standard long scale 34" £20

    [quote name='steve-soar' post='704994' date='Jan 7 2010, 11:36 PM']This is what I have now, then all the other combinations below, got me to this point, it was fun. For me, the ultimate rig changing pres and cabs, Glock 2x12 not pictured.[/quote] Seeing as how I have some personal reference point with the Tech cab Steve How do the Bergantino, Glock and Accugoove cabs stack up (other than vertically) against it... that's if it is possible to make a comparison based upon relative volumes/outputs.

    Methinks TC Electronic staff have a bit too much time on their hands! [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Frm_sn3G0As&feature=player_embedded"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Frm_sn3G0As...player_embedded[/url]
