    Encore special edition LTD 83 P Bass, with some mods. It's a good solid, well made bass, a little heavier than a modern USA P. Got this as a last try at liking P basses. But alas, I like the idea and the look, but still not my cuppa. I've got a "ratted" hohner Jack that does P bass sound brilliantly. I've replaced the pups and harness with some from a Jap P and they've a much higher output with a lovely warm/punch contrast. I replaced the saddles with some spiral ones, replaced controls with chrome flat tops, and put a Fender neck plate on ( but will include the original special edition one). Also put a cheeky logo on, its an ok job.

Postage would be about £15. Trade for something Jazz bassy or similar with 2 pups and will add cash, and/or a brand new electro acoustic classical, if you fancy that too, (£200 value) [IMG]http://i1000.photobucket.com/albums/af124/basscoach/stuffs/IMAG1334.jpg[/IMG]

    Andy bought a bass from me. Paid quickly, with no issues whatsoever. Great comms too. Thanks, and happy first feedback day! John

    [quote name='Floyd Pepper' timestamp='1359665961' post='1958588'] Really keen to get this moved on (I need the space) so now available for £250 collected [/quote] That is a v. good price for a great cab.

    [quote name='Zenitram' timestamp='1359132642' post='1950488'] I'll take them if oldslapper suddenly has a wallet-opening-failure-seizure or something. [/quote] Too late! Crowbar applied to wallet, moths released and money sent! :-)

    Dear gub, Please do not add anything to what you already described as a great bass part, just enjoy your part in the song. Jeff (and mum) knows best Yours, The Song.

    [quote name='Jakeybassy123' timestamp='1358796170' post='1945232'] thats cheap man [/quote] Yeah, good price, but its what I paid. Not a cheap bass though!

    Bought this to defret. However, I felt this was too nice to be butchered by my agricultural approach. So bought an old Jazz bass to rip up. Lovely jazz bass, with Wilkinson hardware (including very nice brass saddles) & pickups. [IMG]http://i1000.photobucket.com/albums/af124/basscoach/stuffs/IMAG1293.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i1000.photobucket.com/albums/af124/basscoach/stuffs/IMAG1294.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i1000.photobucket.com/albums/af124/basscoach/stuffs/IMAG1295.jpg[/IMG] I've set this up with a low action and new round wounds. The colour is a nice off white. [IMG]http://i1000.photobucket.com/albums/af124/basscoach/stuffs/IMAG1282.jpg[/IMG] Here's some specs. http://www.jhs.co.uk/reviews/AV4.pdf £120 posted, well wrapped up and boxed. In north Dorset, and happy for it to be collected or meet up somewhere not too far away.

    Thanks, excellent post!

    Glad you got something decent for the Esh Alex, great bass.

    Depends on what you qualify as a "masterclass" surely? If I wanted to know how to play a particular bass line, or study a particular technique, I'd save myself a shed load of money and go onto youtube and take my time watching the variety of technically proficient musicians demonstrating said techniques/tunes. I might even invest a bit of money in lessons, 1:1 with a tutor and learn/study a technique, etc. I'd want something different from a "masterclass" at a trade show. It's an opportunity to ask said musician questions on different things like, how they achieve a particular tone, what studio equipment did they use on a particular track, what is the musical relationship like with the drummer for instance. Or how did they write a particular bass part and many more similar non technique questions. Personally I'm not a fan of N.O. or that genre, but I think there's enough Hooky fans to warrant him giving a Masterclass. Stop with the "only the pyrotechnically gifted are worthy" none sense, please!

    [quote name='yorks5stringer' timestamp='1358466774' post='1939972'] Some lucky devil bagged this..... [/quote] And he'll be whipping dem frets out as soon as it lands! ;-) Very tempted by your 5 string and do the same Keith.
  17. oldslapper
    Many thanks Lee. :-)

    [quote name='Lee Carter' timestamp='1358430721' post='1938976'] It's neither, nice looking bass though and for £60 if it's your bag it's a steel...have a bump on me [/quote] In the absence of pictures or model details, can you give an idea of which SX model it is? Be nice at least to get some spec of t'web. Thanks.

    I sometimes like to watch....... .....stuff on eBay as I might not have the money at that point, so spend a day or two scampering around to see if I can raise the required amount. It saves me doing another search.

    [quote name='Pinball' timestamp='1358272188' post='1936104'] If this was bought from Musical Express it is is the one you sold me John. Very nice bass but I wasn't playing it and it was too nice to sit around a work for lunch breaks. Congratulations on your new bass Pete, it certainly is a thing of beauty. [/quote] LOL! You're right Ed, it needs to be played in anger.
  21. oldslapper
    Ooooh, I think this needs a defret...PM'd

    [quote name='Truckstop' timestamp='1357989009' post='1931358'] No, worries. Deleted! Alex [/quote] That's a shame Alex. Did you not have a price in mind? That Esh looked very nice! All the best with the sale anyway.

    [quote name='petetexas' timestamp='1357988633' post='1931352'] Hi, Thanks for info..............I bought it as a second bass to my American jazz, but now I feel as thought the Jazz is going to take a back seat ! Any info regarding the headstock shape, this one has the fender shape, but from bits of info that I have gained, it was stopped by Fender ? Pete [/quote] Yeah Pete, fender took exception to the headstock, so the later Blades have a slightly different headstock shape. The last one I owned had Ernie Ball cobalt strings on. Really seemed to suit the ebony board and really showed off the preamp. Enjoy!
  24. oldslapper
    I've owned 2. They are fab basses, high quality Japanese build, excellent components and the best necks, with beautiful ebony boards. The tonal options with the trim pots are far ranging. They are seriously underrated (unknown) and underpriced IMHO. If they had a passive option on the preamp and were a little lighter, I'd still have them. Good purchase! Also Gary Levinson is really helpful if you want any info on your bass.

    Machineheads and neck sold.
