  1. I wouldn’t personally. the preamp is a reversible mod. The pickup routing is not. Find a more battered aria for that. You've made me cry about my sb700. 😞
  2. I just added a Babicz FCH-3 to a Jack Casady - the difference was massive. I have added badass 2 bridges to lots of fender basses and found there to be some difference, but how much of that was down to larger footprint of contact or added mass - I don’t know. I do think they look loads better than a bbot if nothing else.
  3. Not many knocking about in ebony. Nice Bass.
  4. £300 is top dollar - and it’s been messed with.
  5. Can’t mate. It got close...some other things won.
  6. It’s red
  7. That is cool. Chronos from Venom had a Jazz Bass like this in about 1997. That little riff with the high note is a real ear worm.
  8. Happy Jack Day x
  9. Wow. They weren’t even that much new.
  10. Got a 414 haven’t i 😂
  11. A nice red 424x came up locally on Facebook. £300. Undoubtedly worth £300 but I’d be happier at £250 (or less). Messaged the seller “any wiggle room on price?” - “no, that’s the price - it’s been dropped massively...” No deal. 🙄

  13. Well - if the OP will post - you go for it. I have a 414 already x
  14. Well damn. Postage not an option?
  15. I enjoyed that project, used it for 3 gigs with a soul singer. It was a gear4music jobbie. Had a mate who worked in their stockroom. it had a faulty machine head and was returned: I paid £60 for it, £10 for the wood and glue, a machine head was in my parts draw. I sold it for £150, with a clean conscience - was a great bass, plugged in was warm and clear - and the volume was acceptable for unplugged practice.
  16. I heard that, Luther Vandross did the same for his albums. I have to admit I stole the batteries out of Marcus’ alarm clock that time...
  17. Yes he did ”that my cocker is f*ckin bangin - nice one lad!” the next day, Zawinul calls him - the rest is history...

  19. You’ve never played a bass I’ve defretted... Also. Jaco Pastorius... Ahem...
  20. Bah humbug, don’t believe the hype. Defret and enjoy... 😉
  21. I did a defret was great fun
  22. I really like that super light...still miss that double bass option. I had an old Zeller which was killed by a clumsy singer.
  23. So. I said I’d only seen one other for sale - in Russia too. I haven’t - it’s the same bass. See the wood grain... This is the slightly “grr” bit. The ‘first’ one I saw had a bit of a chip. Not a bother to me - I’m a bit handy with this kind of thing. Well, the place I’ve got it from have Infilled the chip...looks like a crappy job. Anyhow, if it plays and sounds right, I’ll sort the damage properly. I’ve included my “proper” job on a Washburn. I can probably salvage this one.
  24. The 66 slabs were known for it
