    Fender Deluxe Precision Bass Special 2018 active/passive Current model (Player Plus) sells at around £1100. My price is about what some are asking for used Player Series, so this is a BARGAIN. Saving up for (another) Rickenbacker. Superb condition pretty much as new. Very well set up.. Jazz neck profile. 12 inch radius, very fast neck. Contoured neck heel (like American Ultra & Pro 11). Raised poles on Jazz pickup, A & D strings, to follow radius. The sunburst finish is really top quality. The 3 band eq provides a wide range of tones and it can be played in either passive or active modes using the micro switch. Weight is 9lb. Collection from Darlington is much preferred, hence the low price for a bass of this quality. I may do a meet up, Extra £50 for insured mainland UK courier thanks for looking.

    The blend dial on these OB1's is a thing of pure sorcery. When I had the 500 it could destroy worlds (yes, exaggerating, but not by much!). Good luck.

    I have very recently bought a bass from these chaps. Will was brilliant to deal with. The bass arrived very quickly, within 48 hours of purchase. That is amazing considering couriers/post/weather at this moment. It was superbly packaged. On opening it, the bass was exactly as per photos. Intonation was spot on as was action, neck relief & pickup heights. The bass has been very well cleaned, it was superbly presented. FULLY RECOMMENDED PEEPS, buy with utmost confidence. Cheers Will, I have no doubt I will be back to pester you again

    Bit late to see this. 2 X OBC 112's are more than enough for any pub/club gig I do. I've never needed the gain or master past noon even in the bigger clubs (OBT Mark 11). Superb modular rig, very light, sounds wonderful.

    Bizarre. People are asking this much for bog standard Player Series & these things are so much more. They are called Deluxe for a reason. I've decided to keep mine as there is no better Fender (imo) available for this kind of money. Especially P body Jazz neck.

    Absolute gent to deal with. Decisive, great comms, quick payment, patient with the current carnage that is UK deliveries, very pleasant to deal with. Yet another great ambassador to our wonderful community. Many thanks Nick, hope the young 'un enjoys it.

    As reviewed by our very own @Dood (hope that's ok Dan?). Bought it for a new project. It turned up 3 hours after I'd been told I was going in for surgery, that project for me is now a non starter. Only taken out of the box to take photos. It's an inexpensive & clever little tool. £65 collected from Darlington, £70 posted mainland UK Thanks for looking https://www.google.com/search?q=valeton+dapper+bass+dan+veal&rlz=1C1VDKB_en-GBGB961GB961&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#fpstate=ive&vld=cid:3e70c2e5,vid:Uce_M5F3X68

    Yup, strange that. I've just double clicked it and it went to the Facebook link which is a Floyd tribute band sound check in Chorley. Anyway, last night I took the Bass Collection Power Bass to the gig. My Jazz Elite never left it's stand. The range of the pickup on the Bass Collection is excellent, it's quite light - the neck is exquisite. I love this Fender copy! 😁

    Interesting this. I'm a bit of a Fender fan boi but I've recently been looking for a non PJ with slimmer neck. The most obvious is the Nate Mendel but by accident I saw/heard the following bit of soundcheck. I knew the neck profile was good, had a chat with the bass player who I've sort of known for 50 years and it's now in a rack behind me. This Bass Collection Power Bass is beautifully made, sounds great, is easy to play & less than half the price of a Nate. 1st gig with it tomorrow night. https://www.facebook.com/lin.davies.7902/videos/1270060980436930

    Happy to box it up for collection but it would need to be buyer organising & paying. That way they decide on insurance level & cost of courier. It's so expensive now. Sorry, Karl.

    Black Friday sale. Reduced to £649 🤣

    Mainly P on full all the time & dialing woofer in for more bottom end when needed. Bit of a faff often needing to dial stuff in-between songs, but worth it

    Regarding harness if you do replace it, it might be worth considering a stack pot for the P pup. With it being woofer vol tone, but only volume for the P I always felt I was missing bit of potential on mine (stupidly long gone).

    40mm nut & slimmer back to front compared to the 44 mm Attitude LTD. Alain, Richie Thomson in Wigan has a sratchplate template for one of these, he did a fabulous brown tortie for me some years ago. Just in case 🙂 edit, I forgot, I sprayed the woofer cover black.
  18. karlfer
    Fantastic basses, I was going to have a go at that one but the refin stopped me Alain. Enjoy, very jealous 😁

    Wow, bargain for a version 1 made in Italy.

    Hiya. What are the frets on this please? Vintage tall, medium jumbo? Neck profile? C , D, shallow C, U?
  21. karlfer
    Absolute steal & a top bloke. Good luck Jonny.

    I would like a clean boost for a couple of numbers where the bass comes "to the front". Would this chap linked below do that? Also, the 5 piece may be going out as a 4 piece for a few gigs so I'm thinking it would give a little more beans when the only guitarist is soloing. Please understand I am a complete dummy & know nothing about effects pedals, Thanks folks. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/372150681898?_trkparms=amclksrc%3DITM%26aid%3D1110006%26algo%3DHOMESPLICE.SIM%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D242764%26meid%3D9b2feacad2e449479099762a41555326%26pid%3D101195%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D12%26sd%3D255792544294%26itm%3D372150681898%26pmt%3D1%26noa%3D0%26pg%3D2047675%26algv%3DSimplAMLv11WebTrimmedV3MskuAspectsV202110NoVariantSeedKnnRecallV1DwebOnly&_trksid=p2047675.c101195.m1851&amdata=cksum%3A3721506818989b2feacad2e449479099762a41555326|enc%3AAQAHAAABIPnNgQzrwy4hcSW%2F1r0wjcHUoW2vznLktC1ywnd%2BfgwtVkfbqrg79mnCGmVqoaequeJtVfKXg136SWaKVngTop3JnbmUEUdhfiQsEDWfHdb4mgsGd7W3dfVMVn%2FY%2FZULMolJde8HRH%2F88DFTgNgNg2m0MRN4oM%2BtoLM2yZuZ1Nn%2BHo%2Bf4UmfATDrngcCtfMOAiozeCWj2qlgpLAx2%2Bnj2Ew88%2B9oznUJm7LYM9PmTdAE6uHHkN3MVIWt%2F4uKbc8MGAjAogR6b7GqfOksR3Tz1oodGPp8a%2FwfsmbNbLjvc6M%2Ff5IAIdh20aQDgN8jAl3pza8ZgZ43ReXPC9gMydfepATrBtPo%2BcjpF64SkblysIkTb6I%2FdZW31KCu2rCG3psfKg%3D%3D|ampid%3APL_CLK|clp%3A2047675&epid=1874300768

    Wow, what a beauty!

    Whilst I wasn't happy with Ander (joke, I missed his purple Limelight a few months back & I'm still slapping myself 😆😆) I had the pleasure of meeting & handing over a bass to him yesterday. He has been an absolute pleasure to deal with, decisive, great comms, did what he said he'd do & all with a great sense of humour. I'm very lucky, pretty much all of the folk I've dealt with on Basschat have been lovely genuine folks & great ambassadors for this forum. Ander is yet another one deal with this really nice guy with utmost confidence. All the very best Ander, enjoy the bass & my thanks to you.
