[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I bought this about four months ago from my old trading partner and rather splendid bass player Jay Synchro, and didn't get around to collecting it until a month or so ago. I've got a new studio project coming up and have just put some cash into some gear. [/font][/color][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]It sold here a few weeks ago but to an overseas buyer and it got a little complicated so I'm selling it once again.[/font][/color][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]You know the deal with these; phenomenal amps, even more so given their size and weight; makes me sound a half decent bassist! Put one of these inside a much bigger cab and you'd be easily fooled into thinking you're hearing the bigger cab! I'll post pics this evening (need to collect it from the studio). No trades of offers, thanks[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Apparently the BC photo uploader turns all photos around by 90 degrees, unless you edit them at source in which case it doesn't.....?[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]From the front[/font][/color] [attachment=251543:IMG_3802.JPG] From the back [attachment=251545:IMG_3805.JPG] Small enough to hide behind a Precision.....

OK, last of the studio gear arrived this week in the form of a Roland electronic kit, so I need to let a few instruments and amps go to keep things on an even keel so to speak. These two are the basses I use least, and going forwards are also those that are least likely to be used in the studio also. Both are bitsas but built from high quality parts, in fact if I broke both for parts they'd earn me around £500 more than the total [price for both basses. But frankly, I can't be bothered with the hassle of selling the bits one by one..... First up, maple board fretless P/J. £600 Body: Phil Kubicki late 70's. Lovely worn natural finish. Bridge PUP very much in 70's position Neck: 1971 Fender, classic profile of the era. Very very good condition, no signs of play-wear on the board suggesting either extremely light playing/flats or a refin, but if the latter, it's been very well done. Slight signs of wear on the back and side, but very little in real terms. PUPs: Nordstrand NP4 V Precision/NJ4SV Jazz Circuit: Kiogon VT stacked Tuners: Gotoh FB30 Bridge: generic BBOT [attachment=251521:IMG_3777.JPG][attachment=251530:IMG_3784.JPG][attachment=251525:IMG_3783.JPG][attachment=251528:IMG_3790.JPG][attachment=251526:IMG_3785.JPG] Why am I selling this one? I have three fretless Fenders, a P/HB with flats, and a Jazz with rounds (and both with big Precision necks). This is the one I play the least. Simple as that. However, I kid you not, this is a very nice bass and at the price, is a steal (it cost around £850 to put together). [s]Second up, a rather nice '57-ish Precision.[/s][b] £400 **SOLD**[/b] [s]Body: Not sure. bought on here a while back here [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/291067-sold-alder-precision-body-in-champagne-gold-finish/page__p__3124531__hl__body__fromsearch__1#entry3124531."]http://basschat.co.u...1#entry3124531.[/url] Colour is Champagne Gold, very hard to photograph but very very fetching in the flesh Neck: 2000 Fender MIA '57 RI replacement. Very very nice neck, wide and flat. Pretty much unused (bought NOS last year from £275) PUPs: Bill Lawrence P-46 Circuit: Generic (might be Fender, might not) Tuners: Fender American Vintage nickel (still wearing plastic protectors) Bridge: generic BBOT [attachment=251531:IMG_3791.JPG][attachment=251533:IMG_3801.JPG][attachment=251534:IMG_3797.JPG][attachment=251532:IMG_3799.JPG] Why am I selling this one? It's just a little too bright for me, there's a lot of zing and top, and I don't generally use tone controls. I've two other Precisions, and once again, it's the one I play the least.[/s] Courier will be around £30. No hard cases with these but they will be very well packed. Sale only on both, I don't need any more gear. No offers please, the prices are more than fair. These are priced to sell and will both head to eBay at around £150 more per bass at the weekend if they don't sell here before then. Chris

Really not sure what to make of this
Beedster replied to Happy Jack's topic in eBay - Weird and Wonderful
In his defence however, he has had the instrument referred, which is probably a good thing. -

[quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1501708541' post='3346863'] And why has he made such a pig's ear of the dot markers on the neck? [/quote] .....perhaps because he was still upset and angry about the complete mess he made of aligning the tuners....? -
Anybody using an electric upright and has flipped the strings?
Beedster replied to robkittler's topic in Lefties!
You may need flip more than strings and nut Rob, although it'll depend which model you buy; the bridge is asymmetrical on some models, the extensions to enable the player to stabilise the instrument - without which they can be quite challenging especially for a beginner - might also be on the wrong side, and you might need to check access to controls also. But once you go to EUB you get to DB and then there's no going back! Good luck Chris -

First impression was of woodworm. There is a school of thought that no two instruments age alike, and that it is possible that a real example looking exactly like this exists. But I doubt it.

I think a new board on a neck that already works for you is a risk and an expense too far. I had a fretless ebony board put on a Precision neck a while back and it never sang as well as it had with the old, albeit worn out, fretless rosewood board. I don't think it was a bad job, just that for some reason it changed the response of the instrument in a way I didn't really care for. It could have been the mass, density, depth or even simply the surface of the new board, but either way, I wish I'd left it as it was. Lovely looking neck all the same walbassist

Selling as I suspect I'm too much of a plug and play guy to have the patience to ever work well with something as gloriously versatile as this. I also hoped the kids might engage one day but frankly, it's a long way off! Currently on sale at Thomann for £1950 [url="https://www.thomann.de/gb/yamaha_s_70_xs.htm"]https://www.thomann....aha_s_70_xs.htm[/url] the sale price is over 50% down* especially when you factor in the very sturdy gig bag worth around £100 plus two Yamaha pedals. Reviews abound e.g., [url="http://www.musicradar.com/reviews/tech/yamaha-s70xs-253819"]http://www.musicrada...ha-s70xs-253819[/url] and [url="http://www.keyboardmag.com/gear/1183/yamaha-s70xs-new-standard-in-performance-keyboards/27587."]http://www.keyboardm...eyboards/27587.[/url] In terms of functionality and performance, I can't really provide much more than that to be honest, but I'm assuming that if you're reading this you know what you're looking at. Trade wise a nice Precision always appeals, and I've only got the four at present so plenty of room. Acoustic instruments are always of interest (no bagpipes or lutes please). Happy to discuss terms..........

Halfway between marker pen and new board is wood dye; many DB boards are blonde but dyed to look like they're a darker (and more expensive) wood. Go careful!
