  1. After a bit of soul searching I've come to the realisation that I need to thin my heard a bit. I'm not currently in a gigging band, and barely get time to play bass at all these days. So here we go. This bass was constructed by forum member Wesfin, and is an exact replica of a 1960's Fender Precision. It's a truly beautiful instrument, and absolutely nails the classic punchy and warm Precision sound that I had previously thought only existed on records. The highly desirable spec consists of: [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Body - 2 piece lightweight alder (The bass weighs around 8.5 pounds!)[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Neck - lightly flamed maple with Dalbergia Negra Brazilian Rosewood fingerboard (old growth, 60+ years old), clay dots and nitrocellulose finish[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Celluloid pickguard (custom made by Pickguardian in the USA) with [/font][/color][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]aluminium shielding plate under pickguard.[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Lollar P-Bass pickup [/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Olympic White finish on body with[/font][/color][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif] nitrocellulose lacquer,[/font][/color][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif] lightly reliced. [/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Vintage style CTS pots[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Switchcraft vintage style output jack[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Bridge and pickup chrome cover plate "ashtrays" not pictured, but will be included. [/font][/color] After buying the bass, I noticed that there were a couple of high spots on the neck which meant I couldn't get the action ultra low without generating fret buzz. I took the Precision to an excellent local luthier (Andy Crockett of Crockett guitars), who suggested a re-fret would rectify the problem. As I was convinced I'd never sell the bass at the time, I gave Andy the green light. After a few weeks, the bass was returned to me and the results far exceeded my expectations. The fret work is impeccable, and the bass now seems to play itself. I also invested in a new Hiscox flightcase, as I do for most of my instruments. If you have any questions or would like to come and try the bass (I'm in Margate in Kent), be sure to get in touch.

  2. I'm selling a pair of EV SX100 PA Speakers as I don't currently have a use for them. They have seen little use, so are in great condition. They sound excellent as you would expect, I've actually connected them up to my Linn Hi-Fi in the past with great results! Here's a link for the techy gumpf - [url="http://www.dmmusic.com/ev-sx100-speakers-each"]http://www.dmmusic.c...0-speakers-each[/url] SOLD
  3. I played this bass earlier today and it is amazing! Harry is a top man to deal with as well.
  4. I've had an influx of interest from all over Europe on this, but I've decided I'm not up for shipping overseas. Sorry guys.
  5. I may consider a trade with a smaller amp.
  6. Thanks chaps, it's a great amp.
  7. I'm thinking of moving on my Mesa Scout combo as I rarely get the chance to use it. It's the 4 ohm, 15'' version with the more recent addition of the player control network. It packs a ridiculous punch for its size/weight. I've upgraded the valves to JJ Tesla's, as they give the amp a bit more clean headroom. I've also upgraded the fan, as the originals are renowned for being a bit loud. The original Mesa Boogie valves and fan will be included if you prefer to return it to original spec. I'm after £800 collected from Margate in Kent, or I can post at the buyers expense. If I get the asking price, I'll also include a hard case for the head. It's really useful if you intend to whip the head out of the combo and use it with another cab at a gig or rehearsal venue for example.

  9. Deal with Steve in confidence. He recently bought my Deluxe Jazz and it was a great, hassle free transaction. Cheers! Jay

  11. The Jazz is now on hold.
  12. [quote name='jcater' timestamp='1358945429' post='1947386'] Do you have any pictures? Is the neck maple or rosewood? [/quote] The neck is Rosewood, are you not able to see the pictures in the original post?
  13. I'd prefer a cash sale, but PM me if you have a trade offer.
  14. I'm thinking of letting my '97 Deluxe jazz go. It's in ridiculously good condition for its age, there's hardly a mark or scratch on it. It is completely original, with the excellent noiseless Suhr pickups and Fender hard case. It's been set up with a new set of Elites and low-medium action. It plays beautifully. Here's Sharay Reed showing us how it's done on a five string version. [media]http://youtu.be/pATcvr3zAhg[/media] I'm after £700 collected from Margate in Kent, or I can post at the buyers expense.
  15. Thanks guys. These really are great cabs.
  16. [size=4][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]I'm thinking of moving on my Aguilar cabs as I've gone back to using Mesa. [/font][/size] [size=4][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]I bought them new from Phil at Bass G[color=#000000]ear in Twyford around a year ago, and have been a big fan of their sound, lightness and general sexiness. [/color][/font][/size] They are Classic Black with the silver grille, and are in fantastic condition. I've carried out the popular mod of adding rubber feet to the side of each cab to enable them to be stacked vertically. This is done by using the existing corner protector screws so it's completely reversible, but it's useful to have the option on tight stages.
  17. Whatever this guy is using. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pATcvr3zAhg&feature=player_embedded
  18. [quote name='Ant' timestamp='1352273953' post='1860880'] heres all my stuff [/quote] Nice Boglin.
  19. I can vouch for Mr bigjohnson. He's a top man, and the amp really is like new. I'm hoping somebody offers him a bass in a trade deal for the amp, as his Ibanez SGR is pants!
  20. I bought a Sadowsky preamp from Chris. He was a pleasure to deal with and a total gent. Cheers, Chris!
  21. I picked up my Custom Precision on BC a little while ago. After being initially pleased with the bass, I noticed that the action left a little to be desired. To cut a long story short, I ended up getting the fingerboard leveled, and the whole thing re-fretted by Andy Crockett of Crockett guitars. I thoroughly recommend Andy to anyone that requires repair or set-up work to be carried out, as he's an absolute genius. When I got the bass back from the 'shop, it was like a different instrument. It now plays and feels as good as it looks and sounds!
