  1. I bought this bass wireless system 2 weeks ago because it was cheap & it works on 5.2 frequency so you don't get Joe Le Taxi interfering. Used it 1st time last night, 1st set, it worked perfectly well thank you, however; I never moved more than 3' from my amp. It just felt wrong, no cable, no attachment. I've resisted for a long time, I've tried it & told the band to bugger off, I'm staying tethered! And no, I don't practice at home, so it sells or goes in a drawer. £40 collected Darlington £45 posted https://www.gear4music.com/PA-DJ-and-Lighting/SubZero-Pocket-Guitar-Bug-Digital-Wireless-System/33F7
  2. Bought just before Christmas. Took the instruction book out & read it (call yourself a bloke? Huh). Anyway, took the scratchplate off the bass it was going into & discovered I'd have to take the connectors off or de-solder the pups. Instruction booklet put back in box, followed by much sulking. No offers thanks.
  3. Alas it's not a 4 either, great looking bass, 'av a bump.
  4. Rich has just relieved me of a bass. He made it very easy for me by coming to test & collect. Everything he said he'd do he did and the whole of the experience was very pleasant. A lovely honourable bloke to deal with and yet another terrific ambassador for Basschat, Enjoy the bass Rich & many thanks.
  5. Lovely lovely bass but not Custom Shop pups. These were a final FSR to run the previous model out before changing to the Custom Shop pups
  6. I think the original Rick versions were released as mirror versions (for right handers) of Macca's.
  7. Unlike you Clarky I don't have the life expectancy for patience 😆
  8. I was keen on this one but the seller never bothered to answer my question on neck dimensions. Great score NikNik, his work is indeed something to behold, that is fabulous. I keep thinking of asking him to do me a Sea Foam Green 4000 with gold hardware & 'plate, but I keep bottling it.
  9. I've done some more research on these. It appears there are 2 other PB70 US for sale in the UK although I'm not sure if they are PB70-70US or PB70-78US. Both are at FenderFever, both out at £1295 + shipping. One of the 2012 export block fretboards (originally £500 new) recently sold on Feebay at £950. In America, one the same as mine sold in Sept 21 for $1000. There is currently one up at $1595. Whilst none of this guarantees a price, with them being officially non export & apparently discontinued, the ravages of VAT, import duties & shipping may make them increasingly difficult to find. I'm leaving this up at this price until Sunday evening (15/1/23). After that, it will be removed & will reappear later this year at a minimum of £1000. Cheers, Karl.
  10. Neil bailed me out with a missing part for a Rick. Purchased Monday night, arrived Wednesday morning, superb!!!!! He was an absolute joy to deal with, fully recommended. Thanks for everything Neil, cheers.
  11. The PB70-70US & PB70-78US are both 40mm nut width. Mainly non-export but there are a decent number in the UK, popular for individuals & small guitar traders to import but VAT, import & shipping are becoming increasingly prohibitive. PB70 -70US = Precision Bass 70's style 70,000 Yen new, US pickups PB70-78US = Precision Bass 70's style 78,000 Yen new, US pickups (pic below)
  12. Surprisingly little realistic interest in this splendid bass despite some similarities to the Mexico Nate Mendel. I'll give it another week then put it away for a year or two, cheers, Karl.
  13. This with an Orange Little Bass Thing would be a destroyer of worlds. Superb cabs.
  14. Aww shucks Andy, too kind fella. The Bitcoin's in the post 😄
  15. As ever the "it's only worth £400" crowd are out (admittedly mainly on Faecesbook). This place appears to think differently. https://reverb.com/uk/p/fender-pb-70-precision-bass-reissue-mij
  16. Jason has just bought an amp from me. He was decisive & super quick to stump up. Comms were terrific, including letting me know (very quickly) that he had received it safe & sound. On top of this he was a delight to chat with. Yet another fantastic ambassador for Basschat. Fully recommended & thanks for making it very easy Jason, all the very best.
  17. Price is for a cash sale, trade value is higher. Neck on this is very "Nate Mendel", 40mm nut, fast & slim, TV Logo. US pickups, alder body, maple neck, rosewood board, 8lb 14oz. I also have the "tug bar" finger rest from the E side but it got in my way hence removal. Non export model. There are always a few in the UK but VAT, import duty & shipping are getting really prohibitive now. It's a bit Sid (for those of an age). Slight crack to paint (2mm) on body next to neck. Common on basses where the neck needs loosening to adjust truss rod. Usually caused by somebody tightening up a neck screw too much. Not me (although I have been guilty in the past). One chip and a few dimples at the back end of the bass. Please bear in mind 17 years old & it has been gigged. If you search, there are a couple of these for sale, prices between £750 & over £1300. Thanks for looking, Karl
  18. £300 collected Darlington £335 insured delivered mainland UK. As new. I won this in a competition, I was both astonished & delighted. Gigged it last night, I now remember why I don't use compression & semi - parametric mids. The family brain cell couldn't cope. I was a bit gutted because it's lighter & takes up less space than my Orange Bass Terror Mk 11. Back to the OBT Mk 11 tonight The Bass Terror is loud. This is LOUDER. Potentially very loud! No offers thank you, they are £449 new & this is actually as good as new. It will be up for 2 weeks, if it doesn't go, I'll reluctantly sell the OBT & make this work for me. Have a great New Year all.
