    Just bought Si's Ibanez vintage era Roadstar RS900. Deal all went to plan and Bass arrived safely today. Top chap, deal with confidence. Cheers Ash
  2. If you replace them, pst62's Wilko recommendation is a good one. I put a set on the Squire Jazz VM I use for rehearsals and the thing hardly ever loses tune in transit from house to rehearsal room and once the bass is up to sweaty room temperature, rock solid again. Great value.
  3. One more bump then the stuff goes back into deep storage!
  4. The MM Sub range is incredible value for money. As far as I can tell it's only the paint job that is any different.
  5. Amen to all of the above. I've got a 1998 model and it's a total revelation. Light, smooth, fast, versatile and cuts right through the mix when (as in my case) you're up against/playing with (delete as applicable) two guitarists with hotted up pieces. Our lead guitarist is always sneaking goes on it during comfort breaks. Build quality is excellent.
  6. Last one before I take it down and build a fretless bitsa jazz bump!
  7. Saturday morning space needed bump.
  8. Sold Hodge some Jazz bass bits and a set of strings. Good bloke, prompt payment via Paypal. No messing about, this is how business should be done, no matter the size of the deal.
  9. Sold James a BBOT Squier VM bridge. Good bloke. Prompt payment via Paypal. Enough said I feel
  10. Awesome colour. Must be a Prince tribute act out there somewhere in need of a bit more purple..... Great basses, I bought one (in metallic blue, a '98 model) from Gareth of this site, last August. Truly the most versatile bass I've ever owned and plenty loud enough to cut it with two guitarists who only recognise 11 on the volume dial. Good luck with the sale.
  11. Forgot to add, will all be safely posted in padded Jiffy bags via Royal Mail or other appropriate post.
  12. Having trouble with uploading pics, will post as soon as possible.
  13. Just been clearing out my spare parts case and I think some of this stuff would be useful for for anybody with a Jazz Bass project in mind. [u]Jazz Bass[/u] [s]1 x set (4) of Squier VM Jazz Bass tuners - mint condition, no slack, all ferrules and screws - £12.50 + postage [/s][b]SOLD.[/b] 1 x set (1 x Bridge - 94mm long, 7.85 kohm + 1 x Neck - 90mm long, 7.7 kohm) Squier VM pick-ups (designed by Seymour Duncan apparently) - these are better than anything I've heard on a MIM Fender bass.....alright I know that's not saying much but they aren't bad, decent mids and enough bite from the bridge pick-up to make it worth sticking them on a cheapo project bass - £20 + postage [attachment=248283:SD_VM_PUs_2.JPG] [s]1 x Squier VM BBOT bridge - fits Jazz or P-Bass - again seems sturdier than the MIM model, the value for money of the Squier VM models is well documented, so no surprise I guess - £8.00 + postage[/s] - [b]SOLD [/b] 1 x MIM Fender BBOT bridge (no through body stringing holes) - fits Jazz or P-Bass - £8.00 + postage [s]1 x set of Fender shiny stuff for Jazz Bass (1 x F marked bridge ashtray, 1 x pick up cover and 1 x standard JB control plate) all chrome and in VGC. The attached photo is a bit pony but there are no dinks and only a few minor scratches on all three - £20.00 + postage - [/s][b]SOLD[/b] [s]1 x Fender genuine part white-black-white 3 ply JB pickguard - nicely aged to a sort of ivory - VGC as taken off when brand new and replaced - £10.00 + postage[/s] -[b] SOLD [/b] [attachment=248286:Fender_OEM_White.JPG] [s]1 x Non Fender replacement part (very) red tortoiseshell 3 ply JB pickguard - looks good on anything sunburst or natural - £8.00 + postage[/s] - [b]SOLD [/b] [attachment=248287:Non_Fender_OEM_Red.JPG] 1 x Non Fender replacement part blue pearloid 3 ply JB pickguard + thumbrest (not pictured) - fits Squier VM JB not too sure about Fenders, didn't try it but holes look slightly different placement - £8.00 + postage [attachment=248290:Squire_Fit_Blue_Jazz.JPG] [u]Non Jazz Bass[/u] 1 x set of well worn but very functional Epiphone 2+2 gold tuners, originally on an Epiphone Korina Flying V bass - all ferrules and screws (ideal for a "roadworn" project)- £5.00 + Postage [attachment=248539:Epiphone_Worn_Gold_1.JPG] [attachment=248540:Gold_Worn_Pegs_2.JPG] [s]1 x set of heavy gauge black tape wound strings - I can't remember what make these are, D'Addario possibly, I was looking for a heavy dub sound at one point, tried these but they were too heavy for a Jazz, so took them off after two playings and bought a cheap five string instead . They are quite heavy, you could moor up warships with these things, but very well made and would be smooth as you like on the right bass. Look great too. - £10.00 + postage[/s]. - [b]SOLD [/b] Cheers Ash
  14. Stunning bit of kit that. I'll send our lead guitarist the link. Good luck with the sale.
  15. Can anyone recommend a good, reliable maker of custom pickguards? Specifically I'm looking for a left hand Fender Mustang 'guard, cut for a pair of P90's and a 3 way toggle switch. As Fender are now offering a P90 Mustang, I thought there might be something ready made on the market either here or in the States but it would appear not at present. Thanks Ash
