PITA. I always gently explain to anybody who wants to use y gear, that they aren't insured to use it. If they persist, they are told they can use it if they sign my form and make a refundable deposit of £500 cash. Get a bit of abuse, but they only pester me once. Give the gig up, just looking for grief going back imo.

As wonderful as these basses are, they have the limitations inherant in the original design. Whenever I've had one of these kind of basses with 2 saddle bridge and single coil, I've replaced the bridge with one of the £50 Fender Deluxe string through bridges. Same 3 screw placement. Just makes the whole pick up/intonation/string height balancing job so much easier. ALWAYS keeping the original bridge of course. Good luck, lovely bass,

Genzler Amplification Magellan 800 - now released!
karlfer replied to Ghost_Bass's topic in Amps and Cabs
Very pretty but thankfully far too complicated for me. And to be honest, most amps I've had above 500 watts (as per manufacturers claims) have hardly been turned on. Any big gigs, foh/monitors, normal (even the biggest) pub gigs, think I've got enough. -
Withdrawn. Guild DeArmond Starfire semi bass.

PM's replied thanks. Sale preferred although may consider a Jazz. Surprised there isn't a bit more interest, a great coloured American Standard, made to look a bit like a Japanese Steve Harris signature. Weighs less than the sig, has a normal P nut width rather than the sig's 1.75 inch, graphite neck strengthening unlike the sig. And cheaper than the last 3 Japanese sigs have sold for. -

Sold thanks. Fender Precision,Road Worn 50's series, Fiesta Red, 2009
karlfer replied to karlfer's topic in Basses For Sale
Truth time. I allowed £700 for this against a Rick a few months back, when these basses were selling, in hours, at that sort of price. Anybody remember the Volkswagen advert " he moved into gold the day the smart money moved out" Anyway, this splendid bass is now with her new fleet fingered master "itsmedunc" a lovely geezer of the highest water. Enjoy Dunc and thanks for all the interest folks, cheers, Karl. -
What a lovely bloke. Fair to say we could have talked bass and amps (STOP looking at amps Dunc ) all night, ably assisted by Fender, Gibson and Dexter Seriously though, top class guy, another great ambassador for BC. Hugely recommended. Many thanks Dunc for making it so easy, speak soon fella.

Heartbreaking to lose so much on this,REDUCED my lovely Fiesta Red 50's Road Worn series Precision, to £550 collected (or meet within 30 miles of Wigan) or sort/pay for your own INSURED courier Reduced until either this one sells, or my American Standard ('Arry tribute). Preferably this one. I can't think of a bass that took me this long to sell I think it's an extremely good price now, and looking at the comments in the thread, there's about another 8 folks singing the praises of this model. Cheers. -
Specs were 64 Jazz bass. Sea foam green, matching headstock, 60's pup positions, alder body, maple neck, rosewood board, vintage style bridge. Nobody but Mark knows exactly where the components come from, but everybody who has had a Limelight made for them seems to be pretty much in agreement that it all comes together very nicely. There is a similar Fender Custom Shop Jazz in Thomann, Sea Foam Green, light relic, matching headstock. It's just over £2900. Why did I sell? Because I got the fretboard in rosewood, vintage correct. I don't get on with rosewood. The only conclusion that can be made is that I'm stupid This is a truly wonderful bass in so many ways.

Thanks cocco, she is. Tom, this model was only done in LPB in 1998, so, given Fender's accuracy with serial numbers................... there is an outside chance this is LPB. However, in some lights there is a tiny bit of sparkle running through the finish, so I'm convinced it's Aqua Marine. It really does appear massively different at times, especially under stage lighting. For example pics 2 and 3 were taken within 30 seconds of each other, the bass didn't move, I did. Anyway, Fender spec [url="http://www.cnjradio.net/fendergits/SD0192200APg3.pdf"]http://www.cnjradio....0192200APg3.pdf[/url] -
Guess if it becomes all yankee, we can look forward to price increases if made and shipped from the states.

I need to sell at least one bass, so with extreme reluctance, I'm putting the Old Gal up. She has lots of lumps and dinks, two major ones badly touched up by original owner, plus some varnish of edge of neck and a little dint next to that. Plays brilliantly though. Medium weight at 9lb 5oz, comes with both scratchplates, little Eddie head on headstock (removable, no residue), pup cover and tugbar. And a Fender hardcase that is so bust up it merits it's own photos (still just about does the job). £670 collected from Wigan (or meet up within 50 miles), £700 mainland UK insured courier. The colour is very like Lake Placid Blue, but in fact it's Aqua Marine Metallic. I got it to turn it into a Steve Harris "Live After Death" tribute bass. It's a standard 41.6mm nut width, so easier to play than a Harris signature. And it's lighter. And, with Royal Blue Japanese Harris signature going used between £750/£850, it's cheaper The photo with the tortie scratchplate is probably the most representative. Please don't buy if you want immaculate, this is real road bashed. Feedback at bottom of post cheers, Karl.

SOLD: TecAmp PUMA 1000 (Powersoft version, cover included)
karlfer replied to davidak's topic in Amps and Cabs For Sale
You might want to consider buying this quickly folks. It is possible that the wonderful (ime, and that of a good few others) gear that TecAmp produce, may be about to get harder to find . A few days ago I tried to get a M212-4 from the largest supplier, but they had vanished from the stock list, this may be why http://basschat.co.uk/topic/275998-tecamp-no-more/ David, if you unhappy about my link, please just PM me and I will remove it. Good luck with the sale of this fabulous amp.
