Hi all, As per my other thread, I'm 'parking' my bass activities for a while. It took me a while to build this rig but I'm so glad I did - and I guarantee you will be too. AMP HEAD: Ashdown ABM Evo 2 500w Head - this has had all the output filter caps replaced by fixmyamp at a cost of £150 and has a warranty on that repair. It sounds MASSIVE CABS: QTX Cabs with Eminence Deltalite 2515 II speakers - crazy light but sound huge - the cabs are a great match for the speakers and it just 'works' with super-lows and really punchy, tight sounding mids and excellent highs. These speakers are amazing and cost £260 for the pair, less than 2 months old! Come and collect from Worcester! P.S. I'm 99% sure I sold a similar setup (cab-wise) to @silverfoxnik a few years ago with these model of speakers so he can (hopefully!) vouch for the quality of the tone and volume you can get out of them. (Nik, apologies if I've remembered!) Thanks, James

So I just got this (see New Bass Day thread) at a bargain price and never got the chance to gig it, now the band has folded. ARGH! PLEASE give it a good home! It's an Elwood L (so chambered) with Delano pickups and Glockenklang EQ - comes with the gig bag and the case candy. Beautiful light weight and perfect balance, it's literally my perfect jazz. Pickup from Worcester preferred but I may be able to post at your cost/risk. UPDATE 28th April - I'm feeling quite down about the whole band thing and getting fed up of it all. As a result the buyer of the above is welcome to my backup bass too - a Westone Thunder 1A - it's been used, abused and butchered but it's a fun ol' thing that has had the active preamp bypassed, neck repaired and looks like it's been dragged behind a car for the length of the M25 - take it, use it, sell it, destroy small towns with it, whatever but I'm taking a break from bass for a while until I want to pick it back up again!

SO chuffed! I was the only bidder and won a Maruszczyk Elwood L 4A and picked it up this afternoon. Couldn't be happier! Super lightweight but perfect balance, insanely good build quality, Delano pickups, Glockenklang preamp and in a gorgeous natural finish that feels fab. All for under £600? Very happy with that! Came with the case and all the candy including a set of strings too. Pics to follow in the morning. Can't wait to crank it through my gigging rig - first low volume noodlings are very promising indeed. Cheers, James

I have a recollection that Mark mentioned he was going on holiday when I was in the shop a week or so ago. Might be worth a call to check?

Hi all, Can anyone recommend a Luthier to Refret a Jazz Neck (Laurel fingerboard) with stainless steel frets? Ideally one that is happy for me to ship the neck only and with a nice quick turnaround? Thanks in advance, James

What contributes to 'tension'? (Erm...on a bass that is!)
Moos3h replied to Moos3h's topic in General Discussion
I think you're right Paul - so it must be I'm interpreting ACTUAL string tension as something else. Hmmm. -
Just curious really ... I know how to do a basic set up on my basses, get a good action and ensure that they play in tune however there is always a HUGE difference when I play a bass that has had a good pro setup. This is felt most noticeably in the string tension feeling reduced/decreased - is that actually possible or is it confirmation bias because it's been blessed with magic from a 'pro'? I'm curious to know which part of the setup process is likely to be responsible for this as I'd like to replicate it on a Jazz that feels 'stiff' (for the lack of a better word!) Thanks in advance for any pearls of wisdom!

An absolute gent, super fast comms and a pleasure to deal with on a recent trade. Enjoy the Ibanez Brian!

This is without doubt the poshest bass I've owned! However I've somewhat overspent of late and could do with recouping some funds. The ideal for me is a trade with cash my way for a nice four string. This bass is in excellent condition with only a couple of scratches on the rear which may polish out. Sounds and plays incredibly well as you would expect. Hit me up with trade ideas. Won't be going crazy with dropping the price on this though as it's a fab bass that I'd be happy to keep!
