    If my 9yo daughter designed a bass, it would probably look like this.

    [quote name='BottomEndian' post='1253600' date='Jun 2 2011, 09:54 AM']I know nowt about vintage Fender values... but it's getting silly, isn't it?[/quote] There was one of these in The Gallery for ages, a mint sunburst 66, that went for around £2k in the end I think.

    [quote name='dan670844' post='1253092' date='Jun 1 2011, 08:06 PM']there are only three in the UK at Chandler's, Charlies place and another but I am sure someone will fill it in!![/quote] Paul Herman's new Wal workshop in Fetcham, Surrey, I believe. Certainly had one there about 18 months ago.

    bump will also consider trades for a nice Fender P or PJ, a Fender Jaguar, or an Epiphone Jack Casady

    [quote name='EssentialTension' post='1250100' date='May 30 2011, 11:38 AM']I think the bridge cover is correct. It looks real to me. The question would be over whether the seller actually has such a rare bass but the feedback is excellent.[/quote] Exactly. I hope it really is real. As an aside, when I was at the new Wal workshop not so long ago, Paul was doing a white refin on a Bass V. My first thought when I saw this bass was that this was it, but I guess not unless it has been reliced.

    [quote name='skankdelvar' post='1249996' date='May 30 2011, 10:37 AM']Maybe I'm a complete sap, but that V looks alright to me, apart from the bridge cover. Ad's a bit over-caveatted, perhaps.[/quote] That was sort of how I felt as well; 100% positive on over 1000 transactions should count for something! And I thought that bridge cover is correct for this bass?

    Someone needs to email and ask if buyer can pay cash on collection

    Hello all Having just upgraded to a PJB 8B cab, it’s time to sell my fantastic 6B cab. I’ve had this cab for a year and it has been terrific. It’s been gigged about once a month, but everything is in perfect condition and works faultlessly. • Sensitivity: 95dB/W/M • Impedance: 6 ohm • Frequency Response: 35Hz - 15KHz • Power: 300W • Size: 15.8 x 17.7 x 23 inch ( W x D x H) • Weight: 46 lbs / 21 kg The cab has a street price of £529 and I will also include a custom made and very nice padded cover from Hot Covers that cost £41; total purchase price £570. I’d like a firm [b]£400[/b] for both. Buyer collects from NE Hampshire, or I can meet halfway if local(ish), or I can post at your cost in the 8B box. Thanks Gareth

    Up for sale is a D'Addario XL Nickel Wound low B .125, tapered at ball end. 34" scale. I no longer have need of this string. It's new and unused in the box. Strings Direct sell them for £7.95; I'll do it for the same but including 1st class post. Would also trade for the same string but in the non-tapered version. Cheers Gareth

    Love these. My first "proper" amp was one of these; add a 1x15 underneath and silly loud. Bargainalicious bump!

    [quote name='voxpop' post='1245145' date='May 26 2011, 07:36 AM']The Phil jones rig, m300 with 6b, has a real hifi sound but lacks that bass cab bloom must of us like. If I switch to the Epifani cab the sound opens up with lots more bass and treble.[/quote] You hear the bass differently with PJB cabs when you're next to them; much less of an issue when there's some distance between you. Bumnote has had success standing to the side of his cabs rather than in right in front, perhaps try that?

    I may well be available, and six years in a disco/soul band would probably stand me in good stead for the set list!

    [quote name='ikay' post='1244272' date='May 25 2011, 02:11 PM']Thanks, sounds promising. I guess with synth access it could be a 1,000 trick pony but I'm only really interested in the one trick. I'm a bit confused as to what piezo it uses. On the Godin website it says an undersaddle transducer and preamp by L.R.Baggs but I was recently in touch with RMC about their piezo saddles and they said try an A4 to hear what they sound like. Maybe the new A4s us RMC saddles and preamp? Shame you haven't still got it or I could whip over and have a go! Cheers[/quote] They stopped using the Baggs a while ago. Mine had RMC saddles and, as I said, was brand new two years ago. I notice that the mag pickup version is offered as an "ultra" model, with the piezo-only still in production. You can always come and play my Veillette instead. It costs a lot more than the Godins but my god what a bass...

    Well, it's a long wait for sure, and a pretty penny to spend, but Paul obviously has plenty of takers at the moment!

    I had one, bought new, for a short while a couple of years ago. This was prior to the new version with the added magnetic pickup. Nice warm sound from the piezo, not too clicky like some and [i]very[/i] woody. Good EQ as well, and the synth access was fun. Bit of a one trick pony, albeit one it did very well, so the new version with magnetic pickup should be more versatile.
  23. franzbassist
    Hint of Ken Smith BMT there methinks...
  24. franzbassist
    And what do you think of it? I loved the Doubler I had.
