Bloody lovely bass for the money, but if you need lightweight, please look elsewhere. I'm not sure what body the wood is other than that it is at the opposite end of the spectrum to balsa. Neck: Warmoth Body: unknown Tuners: Hipshot PUPs: Wizard (64's I think but will check) Circuit: Kiogon with series/parallel switching adding some grunt if needed Precision width neck (with beautiful ebony board) combined with considerable mass makes this a pretty formidable instrument which was once described as "a real man's bass" by a fellow lowender who made the mistake of picking it up at the studio (he's still seeing a physio). It's definitely more Jack Bruce than Jaco, more Jeff Ament than Jeff Berlin, and more Danko than Palladino. All joking aside, I've used it large;y as a sitting down instrument Will come either with Bridge/PUP covers and BBOT bridge as in pic, or with no covers but Badass II. The former looks better, the latter sounds better on this bass. Courier will be around £30. I'll post some more pics at the weekend.

Crikey mate, if you're getting rid of that I'd love to see the pre's you're keeping

Hi, bridges 2 and 3 are yes

These came out of a fretless Jazz and I've replaced them with an old pair of Di Marzios. They're well used and the cover of the bridge PUP is either worn or has been replaced (SD logo has gone). However they work 100% fine and sounded very nice in the Jazz to be honest, kinda makes me wonder why I changed them, but such is life £40 for the pair posted seems fair, they retail at around £80 per PUP from Thomann https://www.thomann.de/gb/seymour_duncan_stk_j2n.htm and https://www.thomann.de/gb/seymour_duncan_sstkj2b.htm

Lollipops, need I say more These are new although the packaging is a bit beaten up. £60 including insured postage Cheers Chris

Ha ha, my girls would love him/her, they're all about dogs at the moment

Offers on the Line 6 Pod Pro, great piece of kit

Bump for offers before I stick it on eBay?

I've listed this at £800 on eBay as I've a few things I could use the money for. Bit of a bummer as it's an outstanding and rare guitar, and worth a lot more. I'll keep it open for a few days and if it doesn't sell will keep it

I'll accept sensible offers on this before I decide to keep it

Thanks Harry, it's a great amp and if it wasn't for the incoming Buster I'd hang on to it, but there's only so many Mesa amps one man can own (so my other half tells me anyway)

I have its exact twin, there is something absolutely magical about the maple board fretless Precisions of that era, unusually for 70's Precisions, I've never played a bad one (and I've played a lot of them).

The upside of which is that you have two 70's Fenders Mart

Hey Mart, is there a difference? Fender bridges have been standard for both basses since the early 60's as far as I'm aware. If there are Jazz versus Precision string spacing issues at the bridge I've not come across them. Of course I may be wrong

Beautiful Steve, great price as well

Daughters and congas is perhaps a combination to be avoided

Thanks mate, I am really interested. Although it's clearly a pathology as I've just sold a load of project basses, I still have the perfect neck for that body

Took these out of the studio yesterday and let them in the garden where my two daughters got hold of them. Wow, they are f*****g loud and powerful things; I guess given the history of similar drums, that shouldn't be surprising, but I was still really surprised by just how much viscera-modifying bass comes out of these things even twenty or thirty feet away. Odd that the classic recorded conga - thinking lots of 70's funk tracks, and recalling seeing Curtis Mayfield on TV in the 70's - is nothing like this, much more the percussive slap of the hand on the skin as opposed to what comes out of the other end. Probably explains why they're so bloody difficult to record in a small room also

Bump for pics. Looks a little dusty which shows how little I've used it recently, plus generally a bit grubby. With the exception of two small tears in the tolex (shown in the photos) it's in very good overall condition. When it's been moved around it's been in a flightcase. Cheers Chris

Bump for photos in first post
