I popped along for an hour or so yesterday, the noise levels were much better then last year which made walking about in the exhibitors area quite enjoyable, next year I'll plan better and attend at a time when there are Masterclasses or performances I want to see rather then fitting a brief visit to the show around the rest of my weekend schedule. Random observations - great jobs being done by Bluejay on the BC stand, I still GAS after another Roscoe Bass, No Sterling 5 on the MM stand, Andy Baxter's stand could have made a grown man weep, Steve Lawson and Yolanda Charles are way taller and Dave Swift shorter then I imagined them to be, I should have asked Vanderkley about getting a cover for my 212MNT. Enjoy yourself if you are going today.

A recent bad cold has left me semi deaf in one ear, the one advantage is it means I might not need ear plugs tomorrow or just one

I have way too much gear, I'd love to keep this as is very light and like new, I can't find a mark on it! but I feel more at home with the other battered SR5 I have with a maple neck. I think it's a 2005 serial number starts E45... Lovely natural finish Rosewood fingerboard Sub 9lbs come in at something like 8.8lbs using the very no scientific method of weighing myself with and without the bass on the kitchen scales Schaller strap locks buttons fitted, I'll include the bits that go on the strap if you need them. Comes with official MM case that has some scuffs and one small/medium sized crack on one side, the crack doesn't effect it's functionally. Looking for [s]£1000.00[/s] [s]£975.00[/s] [s]£950.00[/s] £900.00 collected from South London, I do have a bass sized box from a recent purchase so I could courier it but at the buyer cost for insured posting. Not really after any trades as I really need to make some space but would possibly consider an old Stingray or Jazz bass. I think that's about it but feel free to PM me if you require more pics of info.

Anth bought some Ernie Ball strings from me, very fast payment and a joy to deal with. Thanks R.

Unopened set of Ernie Ball Regular Slinky strings, bought for a project but I ended up putting Half Rounds on instead, these are as new in an unopened packet. £9.50p including UK delivery. -
Time for a clear out, these were bought a couple of years ago for a project but are no longer needed, in as new condition, two are still even in their unopened packaging. they are the smaller 3/8" (10mm) size and have chrome ears and a matt finish to the body.

You can slightly see the edge of each holes next to the body of the Utralite on the back of the headstock, like it needs nudging across a couple of mm's.

Fought my way through the torrential rain last Sunday to collect the bass from Lawrence's workshop in Letchworth, got a very welcome cup of tea on arrival. As you can see from the pictures it's a very pretty looking bass indeed, it's quite hard to photograph but I think I've go the pics pretty close. Acoustically it plays really well, It's got some nice mwah going on but plugged in there's a nasty hum/buzz from the ACG 02, something is not right at all, Lawrence has talked to ACG and no one seems to know what's wrong with it, I bought the pre second hand a couple of years ago so it may have been faulty when I got it, I can't blame either ACG or Lawrence for that. I do have another ACG 02 in the cupboard so I'll get my mate to swap them over and see how it is or maybe wire the Wizards up as passive, still thinking it through. Unfortunately it will have to go back to Letchworth at some point to have the set-up lowered slightly, tuners repositioned a tad and a small mark in the burst fixed. Many thanks go to Mr Born for sticking with what turned out to be a bit of a nightmare job for him.

Got to be worth getting a couple of quotes from Luthiers to see what they would charge to do you a neck. -
Any trade options?

I've been listening to Joni Mitchell a lot this week and it got me thinking about Jaco's work outside of Weather Report and his solo stuff. I have a couple of Jaco song books and I've had a look on Amazon but there doesn't seem to be any material relating to Jaco's work as a side man, does such a publication exist? has anyone stumble across or done their own transcriptions?

I think that's pretty normal to have 5 mounting screws for the bridge, although some if not all Fenders have 3 screws.

[quote name='brensabre79' timestamp='1360682051' post='1974535'] The only thing to watch is that it can cost you more to do it this way (even with allparts etc.) and what you're left with is a Fender copy with no name, that's harder to sell. [/quote] This is a very good point, I built a Fender Jazz up from genuine USA and Japanese parts a few years ago but when it came to selling it I had to part it out as it was worth a fair bit less as a complete bass.

As usual I've bought effects and never use them! will I ever learn? probably not This thing is brilliant, great tracking effects, excellent sounding amp sims, looper, tuner, DI out and USB recording, there's not a lot it can't do, but as I say I don't really use effects so it's just sitting there doing nothing and as I've over spent recently it's time to sell some gear. In excellent condition, I have put two neat Velcro dots on the battery cover these could be easily removed but I'll leave them on and include the dots for attaching to a pedal board. Comes with the box, manual, Sequel LE CD, 9v adapter, it's the Euro version adaptor but it will run off a standard Boss 9v, battery or USB.
