    Many thanks Gwilym for that. Peter

    Imagine a really classic bass that hasn't been made for a while and then you find one that it pretty much absolutely mint. That's what this Yamaha BB1500A is in effect as you can see from the photos. It is active with a 3 way EQ shape switch plus 2EQ treble and bass, so you can boost the mids and it give a great Jazz honk. I'm looking for £450. I think the pictures will explain how good this bass is better than me rambling on: [url="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v111/Wraithwrider/BB1-1.jpg"][/url] [url="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v111/Wraithwrider/BB3.jpg"][/url] [url="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v111/Wraithwrider/BB2.jpg"][/url] [url="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v111/Wraithwrider/BB4.jpg"][/url] [url="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v111/Wraithwrider/BB5.jpg"][/url] [url="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v111/Wraithwrider/BB6.jpg"][/url] [url="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v111/Wraithwrider/BB7.jpg"][/url] Peter

    First bass up is the fretless Jazzbasstard. This bass has a Alder Jazz body with the 70's bridge pickup positioning (1/2" closer to the bridge - ideal for a fretless tone). The pickups themselves are Lindy Fralin and are overwound by 5%. I've fitted a Badass II bridge, filed carefully for the strings, and it has an ACG02 filter based pre-amp in place. The controls are vol/blend, Low pass and High pass filters with their boosts on top. The neck is a Warmoth with a rosewood lined fretboard and Schaller tuners. There are no dings that I can find and the finish is very good but not 100% perfect. Looking at what I paid for the bass and then the price of the upgrades I think that £400 is a very fair price. This is no lightweight body here.

    Very nice Alan, Waiting for the sun to make an appearance here so I can photo 7 basses. I think it may be artificial light again Peter

    I've heard the Rebop and the Euro, the Rebop is good.

    I'll take a load of photos tomorrow and work out some prices. The Jazz fretless will be added to the list too now. Thanks for the kind comments. Yep both the Spector and the RKS are very nice instruments. Peter

    I've done well, working my way down from 20 basses to a dozen. But a reality check combined with a rush of blood to the head has got me around to offering 6 up for sale. I need to survive financially until August and a few pennies will help too. There is 1 other bass pending a reply from others who have in the past had an interest. The 6 up for grabs immediately will be: Fretless Jazz with Lindy Fralins and Warmoth neck. 1979 Peavey T-40 in natural. RKS 5 string - US made passive very high quality with a massive passive tone. Yamaha BB1500A basically a new one, played very little from new and totally immaculate. Bass Collection SB320 in Green. You will be hard pushed to find a better one, 95 I think. Last but by no means least my Spector Euro LX 4 in Black Cherry with a ACG02 pre amp - this is one top bass in like new condition. So that's the feeler with 1 more bass possibly to be added. Pm me if you are interested. I'll think about prices and take some good photos and the thread will then become a proper for sale thread idc. Peter

    Peavey T-40 is far more punk

    That's kind of you Alan. I might have a car full of nubile young creatures though

    I'll see if I can drum at some support at Uni Al Peter

    Just got mine and I'm playing with it. Amazing!! Any updates/resources on these beasts? I see you've sold yours Steve. Peter
  15. GreeneKing
    I am not sure but I'm thinking that it really could. Bump as well. Peter

    [quote]About an inch.[/quote] What's the scale length going to be when you've finished Wayne? This is how I did my Warmoth, much better than wood screws imo. [url="http://www.manchesterguitartech.co.uk/hardware.html"]http://www.manchesterguitartech.co.uk/hardware.html[/url] Peter

    As they are hand wound in the UK I'd guess Newtone makes them. Newtone are great strings. Peter

    Alan You reminded me of how nice that Lakky was now. Wow!
  19. GreeneKing
    I'm liking that
  20. GreeneKing
    I don't think I'll be rushing to upgrade. Sounds like more of the same, which is a good thing. Peter

    [quote]The last time I was happy with my gear, playing etc was when I got my '72 4001. Through my Trace AH150 (original series) and 4x10 (likewise) it was the sound I'd always had in my head; the old band was playing a lot, I was in great physical shape, was playing for hours a day, was on top of my game in all ways except in terms of theory. When my back problems started I had to sell the rig and I've never been happy with my sound since. None of the lightweight solutions I've played so far have "my" sound. I hardly get any practice in now for reasons many and varied, my back and neck appear fairly knackered and I now seem incapable of making my right arm do exactly what it's supposed to for a whole set, the band I'm in struggles to get gigs (and appears to be cursed in terms of personal disasters!), you name it, it's crap. In fact recently I was beginning to struggle with the concept of playing at all as all it seemed to do was make me miserable. Still, we plod on, hoping for a light at the end of the tunnel. That's my happy post for the day.[/quote] Hehe, if you ever need to fondle a CS I've got one as you know and you're welcome - C64S too. I have a very lightweight Bass Collection that is probably going on the market soon too. Peter

    I've met Tom a few times now and he really is a very nice bloke. As the previous poster said, one of lifes good uns Peter

    The GS112's are very good indeed
  24. GreeneKing
    Mrs Terri Tinman hey Me I'm totally sorted. My ACG Harlot, LMII and 2 x Aguilar GS112's (one NH) do it for me very well thank you. A decent fretless is something I aspire to play though. Peter

    If I wanted or needed a light bass I think I'd be enquiring if a UK luthier could build a chambered swamp ash bodied bass. Failing that it'd be NYC and Roger Sadowsky methinks. That all means waiting of course. Otherwise it's that 2nd hand market again. A special bass, that's the answer imo Get a bass made for YOU Alan You'll not look back. Peter
