definitely 35" scale - although a quick measurement tells me it's between and 34 and 35 - it's 44cm from the nut to the 12th fret which is 17.3228 inches giving 34.6 roughly... saying that, the typical overwater design is 35" scale i think... which is what this based on. Someone may want to chirp in on this?

I am moving on my Overwater Aspiration Deluxe (the Tanglewood manufactured ones) 5 string fretless in Trans red. It's in lovely condition, no marks or dings and comes with a soft gig bag. Postage available to be paid by buyer. I got this bass as I wanted a 5 string fretless with an aim to convert it to fretless - I was aiming for an unlined look but it didn't quite end up that way. You can see the defret process here: Anyway... the defret process was done very carefully and slots were filled with rosewood veneer, sanded and oiled - it plays really nicely. The only reason I am looking to sell is because an unlined 5 string fretless has come up for sale near me and GAS has taken over! These are great basses and look the part - build quality is excellent. There are loads of posts about these and many people comment about how great these are - I just want an unlined fretless. If the one I am after sells I will likely withdraw it from sale. Pop me any questions. Carl.

Mike took my Flyrig from me - an easy and swift transaction!

Hi everyone… im in the market for a multi effects unit. i want something as a front end for my QSC 12.2 FRFR. I’m not big into effects - I basically want a good DI, some good amp sims, chorus, octaver - I’m not a ‘dirt’ man… but what I’m really after is a good synth modeller. I have a boss SYB-5 which is ok (I do a lot of function 80s stuff) so a good synth engine is quite important to me. i do like the boss, but one unit rather that separate pedals suits me more. I did have a line 6 pod go which was ok… not great for synths but ok… same engine as the helix so I don’t think a stomp is the way I should go. i did watch a video of someone blistering their way through ‘Like a Prayer’ using a zoom B3 and it sounded great. Exactly the kind of thing I am after… will the b6 do this? Can anyone share some sound samples at all? I can’t find much online - it’s mainly standard demos… I would be happy with the chorus octaver stuff I reckon… I’m just after a good synth bass!

As new Tech 21 Bass Flyrig V1. Great little box of tricks with the classic Sansamp built in alongside a tuner, compressor, chorus and octofilter. Excellent condition - I have bought myself a synth bass pedal and need something with an FX loop so I can balance out wet and dry signals. Any trades would be looked at if you have something... £170 posted to your door! Carl

Top man - let me know if you see anything good. I may stick it in the wanted section...

I was going to plump for the one in the Gallery today but someone beat me to it! shows that they are desirable if anything!
-
will do… thanks for all the advice! I may come back hopefully with some pics from a NBD!

So is it a case that the earlier MIJ models came from the Fujigen factory, and the CIJ models came from the Tokai factory?? is that a rough guide date wise??
-
👍
-
So that top image is a spiral saddle tuner? Is that correct? Meaning that one was a 57 or a 62??
-
Can you elaborate?? A comparison? I did see Fender Fever on ebay… I might give them a call and see if there is wiggle room on the price as they do seem quite pricey…

Is there an easy way to tell the difference between a PB70 and a PB70US?? it’s definitely a PB70 I want then… have to look at what is out there…
-
Does anyone know what years the PB 70 went from? I’ve seen a lot of the crafted in Japan model, PB 70s, which are typically early 2000s, I just wondered if there was something older?

Hi all… need a bit of P-bass advice… I have never been a P-bass kinda guy… always found the sound a bit limiting. But, time moves on and I find myself drawn more and more to owning a good one. can’t afford vintage, and to be honest, I don’t expect to play it that much as I mainly play 5 string anyway. But the first decent bass I bought was a 57 reissue p-bass that I sold to go 5 so would like to have one again. anyway… I love the 70s p-bass logo. Just looks so much cooler to me than the standard logo. I also have a bit of a thing at the moment for Japanese guitars so a MIJ / CIJ P-bass would definitely get me excited… does a MIJ p-bass exist with the 70s logo? older the better but not too fussed… I see the CIJ PB70 around a bit but they all look a bit too ‘new’ and would like something a bit more ‘broken in’! my thinking, what is the difference between a 57/62 and a 70s p bass? could I get any old MIJ/CIJ p-bass and add a 70s logo to it? Sand it down, add the logo and re-finish? Possibly with a tinted lacquer? Am I better off keeping my search going? do the 70s re-issues MIJ exist or is it a fruitless search? don’t get me wrong, would love a 76 (YOB) but at today’s prices, it just isn’t gonna happen! any thought would be most welcome! carl.

I haven’t as yet… I was going to leave but I have noticed a tiny bit of localised buzzing when sliding on the G string between 8th and 9th fret. So I am going to do a bit of block levelling to hopefully smooth that out. I think I will then go over the whole fingerboard and try an ebony stain. See how it comes out. I think I will apply a little bit to the fretlines first and then go over the whole lot. Hopefully it will even out and then I can tru oil over the top. will post pics when completed. Won’t be for a few weeks as moving house very soon!
