Love mine. It's light, the 63 neck profile with 9.5 radius & higher frets just work beautifully. Does look a little unusual that fretboard/headstock, sort of decades of smoke all over it. As with all P/J's I have, I just dial a touch of the jazz in occasionally for a little growl. Just a personal (lack of) taste thing. The P pup, tone rolled off, with deep switch on the Mesa is just sublime, even with rounds. It's a lovely versatile passive bass imo.

I love Ricks 💓 I can't play Ricks. 😢 Enjoy Al, all the best mate. Glad you're liking it Neil, that Elite Jazz with Ki0Gon stacks/serial/parallel is sadly now my number 1. The Green is displeased 😁

Fender Deluxe Precision Special vs American Performer
karlfer replied to RnRDave's topic in Bass Guitars
The Performer will hold it's value better. It's likely the Deluxe will be a more playable & versatile bass, better specced. They also come up for sale occasionally, at between £500/£700 depending how ambitious the seller is. I've done over 400 gigs with a passive version of the Deluxe, it will go to the grave with me. The 2 Performers I tried when they first came out, had weak pickups. Really unimpressed with them TBH. -
Orange should have called their new one The Dwarf.

Sold Orange Bass Terror Mark 2, new version 500 watt amp head
karlfer replied to karlfer's topic in Amps and Cabs For Sale
Those who have bought from me know I rarely reduce gear. I sell at what I consider fair to buyer & seller. I rarely get complaints. Having been let down twice on this (Faecesbook & FeeBay), I'm temporarily reducing it. Once only! They are just under £600 new. After this, it will be stored away until somebody advertises for one in the Wanted forum. £370 collected from Darlington (or service station etc meet up within 100 miles) or £400 couriered mainland UK. -
The link from jrixn1 appears to be the Mark 1 OBT, you appear to have the Mark 11. Both cabs in use, selector switch to 4 ohms, full 500 watts. Either cab on it's own selector switch to 8 ohms, 250 watts. Personal preference for either cab on it's own, for me, would be the 212, as it would give more bottom.

The Sunburst were a run for Guitar Centre in the States. Fairly sure someone got a bargain but buggered if I was driving from Darlington to Cheltenham & back.

Sold Orange Bass Terror Mark 2, new version 500 watt amp head
karlfer replied to karlfer's topic in Amps and Cabs For Sale
For those who can't read 🙄 it's a MARK 11 amp. They stopped production for a couple of years, I think the last Mark 1's were sold off in 2016. This is an early Mark 11 from around December 2018. It has the clean/drive switch ( even I like the drive on this one) and the 4ohm/250 watt, 8ohm/500 watt selector on the back. They also have different pre amp valves to the Mark one. The Mark 1 standard price was around £490 (until they blew the last hundred or so out). The Mark 11 standard price is around £590 -
Price includes UK postage. Got this made for me by Tim Allen, for a 2018 Mex Player P, but I'd sold the bass before it arrived 🤣.Ordered so those in the know realised the band I'm in wasn't where my heart is 😋 I don't have a P and can't afford one at the moment & with gigs about to come to an end for the foreseeable. Cost me £40 to get made, it's Tim's usual printing process

He bought it & put A LOT on it.

It's genuine, there were a very limited number available in Sunburst, not officially available in the UK. It's very tempting but photos don't really show the extent of the paint damage.

17 string bass "suitable for beginners"!!!!
karlfer replied to Stub Mandrel's topic in eBay - Weird and Wonderful
It's a bleedin' harp innit?? -
I've had basses with John's looms before. The tone pot went on a Precision Player Series I've just bought. Sod it thought I, I'm going to try to do one. Ordered Wed am, arrived 12.30 today (Thurs) His patience with me was superb. WHAT A DIFFERENCE! His loom has turned a decent sounding bass into a superb sounding one. Because all the basses I've had with Ki0gon looms in, were modded by previous owners, I just didn't get just what a difference they make. Cheers John, I will be back!!
