So he did!! Could be the way to go… I guess I’m hitting the thomann website tomorrow! -
I looked at this but this is a neck swap between HBs... I am looking between a HB and a Squire or similar to keep the precision headstock shape as authentic as possible...

hi all... i need a little project to give me something to do and I have always lusted after a relic'd 70s precision bass with the 'TV' logo so that will be my next thing to do. I fancy having a bash at relic'ing myself, not on something expensive so was looking at getting a Harley Benton MV-4P in a cool colour. However, the neck I would be looking to replace with either a Squire or Fender neck. Mainly for the shape of the headstock which I would want to sand back, add a new decal and the tint / age and relic. Not legit I know, but more for funsies plus I love a relic'd P bass but don't really play 4 string much so it won't get much use other than noodling at home. So, will a fender / squire neck fit a HB p bass body? Could anyone check physically? I can find general information about p bass neck pockets online, but nothing about the HB MV-4P. Could anyone measure one? Anyone offer any help? Thanks!

Does that mean your may be for sale?? 😜

I did look at the sires but delivery dates seem very vague! This is a shame as I think I would have plumped for one!

I like the look of one of those Ivy basses… especially if they are from the same factory as the HBs… had a look online, nothing available in this country… will keep looking!

These caught my eye on eBay... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/395687604147?chn=ps&_ul=GB&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=710-134428-41853-0&mkcid=2&mkscid=101&itemid=395687604147&targetid=2361039923645&device=c&mktype=pla&googleloc=1006751&poi=&campaignid=21697381820&mkgroupid=170109506289&rlsatarget=aud-1165553645205:pla-2361039923645&abcId=10027101&merchantid=5426806556&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAAD_Lr1cKRPkSHkVGJ3yNHrkEVlr-e&gclid=Cj0KCQiAz6q-BhCfARIsAOezPxli0SGaLZVOCXUuxbAz1zegPm-qaXbt-IYYCKExStikVl906yMYCDgaAhm0EALw_wcB I know they are probably the same as what you get from AE...

I really want to dip my toe into two specific interests... headless and multi-scale... I have never played a multi-scale before - is it relatively easy to adapt? I would also like a headless... I don't want to £2k into a Strandberg... nor £1k into an Ibanez... I'm fickle and likely to sell it a bit later... mainly because if I like it I will want an expensive one and if I don't, I don't want to lose too much money! I saw the Harley Bentons and am tempted... but it isn't headless. I could chop it off (I do like a build project!)... anything else I should consider? The HILS ones are a bit disgusting to my eyes... far too pointy and the scratchplate, don't get me started! Sire's ones are available for several months... The G4M ones look a bit ugly too... I was considering an AliExpress job and have a fettle... there is a cool looking ferrari yellow Dingwall look-a-like which could work... I don't mind the work to chop off the headstock and convert to headless... Anything else anyone could recommend?

jazz pickups - noiseless recommendations wanted!
carlsim replied to carlsim's topic in Repairs and Technical
That is true - I have been looking at the B axis pups - I had a pair on a Sei Jazz I had years ago and they nice and silent. Although I think i am going to try a full shielding first before I change the pups. I would much rather keep the bass as is... I will do a couple of noise floor tests - a before and after and hopefully post some results! Be a worthy test. -

@Hellzero do you really thing it will make much difference? I have some copper tape so could do this if you think it would fix it... Do you mean preamp cavity only or pup cavities as well? -
I have a lovely Atelier Z DAL-5 which has the Atelier Z JBZ-5 pickups installed. I have changed the preamp to the Sadowsky on board as I wanted a passive tone control and as the pups are single coils, I do get a tiny bit of noise (well they are single coils!) when pups are isolated. In a normal gig situation it wouldn't be a problem, but I do a lot of theatre work and I notice it more and more these days. So, I can't afford to splash out big, but what would be a good pair of noiseless hum cancelling pups that you fellow BCers would recommend? I don't want to get rid of the original pups, but I would like something quieter for the kind of work I do. Any recommendations?

Fair play - they have already been sold! That was quick!

I'm selling my Stomp currently in the classifieds and am looking to sell the Vintage Synth Pack that I bought from Ian Allison. Would this be allowed in the classifieds? Obviously if I have no stomp I have no need for the presets so I would prefer to sell them... Does anyone know if this would be allowed in the classifieds?

Line 6 HX Stomp for sale - boxed and pretty much as new. I have put some rubber feet on the bottom, these can be removed if needed. Comes all the bits as new, PSU, USB cable and gumph. something has come up so £400 plus p+p for a quick sale… will include postage this weekend for a quick sale! I picked this up a few weeks ago and no matter how many multi fx / amp sims I go through, I seem to revert back to analogue separate pedals. To be honest I only really need a chorus and an octaver so this is far beyond what I need. I don't need to tell you about these, amazing sims, effects, IRs and parallel processing in the HX edit app, I will de-register this when it is sold. No marks or scratches, only a few swirls on the bottom from the previous owner who bought it new. I will do a factory reset on this before it goes. I am only looking for what i paid for it - £425. This is pretty fixed as it is boxed and pretty much new. As I side note, I purchased a some presets for this unit, specifically the Ian Martin Allison Vintage Synth pack which cost me £40, plus another synth batch of preset from Chad Carouthers, another online bass / synth bloke which cost me another £10. The Ian Martin Allison ones are really good and well worth it, the Chad Carouthers ones not so much. I will be happy to sell these one with the unit for an additional £20 if the buyer wants them. If not, I will put them up for sale in the classifieds if that is allowed. You can check them out here: https://ianmartinallison.com/store/vintage-synth-pack https://www.instagram.com/ianmartinallison/reel/C5ylw1zO7Co/?hl=en-gb https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7lz02CvQ42U The presets have been sold I'm afraid so the unit will be sold as it comes from the factory. Postage via RM Tracked 24 with additional insurance, should be about £5.-

Thanks for this reply - I purchased the vintage synth pack and you are right, there are some great sounds in there. I noticed some others which were by Chad Carouthers - a lot cheaper but IMO, nowhere near what Ian has. To be honest, the 4 sounds in there will give me everything I need so I am quite happy... there were a little pricey - £40 for 4 presets but it will save me a ton of time experimenting to get close and with pedals, I kinda want in now rather than faffing around too much.
