    Hello there basschatters, Im having a bass clear out . Up for sale is my Mk2 jetglo Rockinbetter which is the newer model with 22 frets and checkered binding. I had a Black pickguard made for this bass and included will be the white one as well.The only thing i've replaced on this one is the bridge pick up with a Seymour duncan SRB bridge pick up... Just noticed the 3rd triangular inlay has a scratch or crack... It doesn't affect the playing at all.. Also the pots are bait scratchy... Probably because I haven't played it in a while..and I always left the controls in the same position ... I don't have a case but rest assured it'll be well packed. I'm not posting pix on here ....we all know why... but please contact me for pix and i'll mail them to you

    Just got around to looking the Bassman pro up...damn it I think this is my dream bass amp!!! Seriously thinking of putting a hold on a few projects for this....!!!!! I watched the video with Matt freeman trying out his signature bass (which is a great bass for the money) and was hooked....

    [quote name='Si600' timestamp='1342790274' post='1740985'] When you say reverse pup I presume you mean that the D-G half is in front of the E-A half? Apart from a different look, does it make it sound different? I can't imagine it would, but always happy to be proved wrong [/quote] Yes that's right D-G in front of the E-A. On my Yamaha BB 1200 the reverse pick ups give a more even sound across the strings... which is what I like.. I don't want a booomy low end and a weak top end. i'm not saying all P basses are like this, but a few i've tried have been... anyway I thought i'd build 'MY' perfect P bass... I attached a pic of a Fender P bass wuth reversed pups... mmm think I might photoshop it to look like how my build will look like..

    Im reasearching the costs on a starting from scratch build or buying a fully loaded body and from the states... i've seen a few places selling necks, bodys etc... on the plus side the body will be finished and all the parts are there, same goes with the neck. Downside id getting shafted by customs.... Plus i'll have to sort the routing for the reverse pick ups and if I mix and match i.e. American neck and Mexican body there will be a little neck pocket sorting to be done... all that adding extra cost to the project My original thought was to use an American standard body and mate it to a deluxe (circa 2010/2011) neck. Then I realised that the Body is string thru.... i'll have to move the bridge slightly forward for intonation.... bugger!

    Following last years Custom Blacktop Precision.... ie Blacktop body with a deluxe maple fret board neck, im thinking of having another go at assembling another Precision... Im a big fan of the old Yamaha BB 1200 basses... so im thinking i'll use the same reversed pick up configuration on the Precision.. the neck will be a 21/22 fret maple fretboard neck. As im a big fan of Simon gallup/JJ burnell the body will be finished in Black... in a sort of homage to there early P basses .... yeah I know im sad;-) i'd rather use Fender parts but this could prove to be costly so i'm going to research other options...any suggestions for parts would be appreciated...

    [quote name='bassmachine2112' timestamp='1336206883' post='1642397'] [u][attachment=106986:DSCN4071.JPG]hiho[/u] Vintage v4. I have a heavily modified v4 I emailed vintage enquiring if they were ever going to do a maple neck and they said at the time they had no plans to do it. I made my own using a maple neck off a vintage musicman copy which fits straight in and the bonus of an extra fret. Wizard thumper pick up ,high mass bridge,schaller tuners,new pots and jack. Total build including the bass-£132= bargain. Sounds amazing,plays a dream. Great bass to gig ,stays in tune.Great range of tones using the volume and tone. As standard it wasn,t shabby by any means and I did gig it but the modder in me got the better of me.I would have done these mods to a F apart from the neck if it was maple to start with. For the price a cracking bass worth checking out. [/quote] I love what you've done with this bass.... Superb

    I have the Orange 100 watt amp and really like it. I've have used it as monitor at small gigs using the Tech 21 Vt bass deluxe as D.I. box which is a great little set up..... Defo loud enough for home use...
