  1. I only recently picked this bass up but I got myself a MIM Jazz locally for a good price so I now need to sell this. It's a black Vintage modified Jazz in black with the maple neck with white pearloid inlays and white binding. It was made in 2010 so has the Duncan Designed pickups rather than the newer Fender designed ones. I've never tried the newer ones so can't comment on if it sounds different or not. Its in really, really good condition but I won't describe it as mint - I keep picking it up to see if I can find any marks but I can't yet see any, the only reason I wouldn't describe it as mint is just in case there's something hiding that I haven't seen. There is some surface oxidation on a couple of the pickup poles, if I have the chance before it sells I'll remove them and give a light wipe over with some steel wool (covers off obviously so that they don't get scratched) I can post this for £15 and I will supply a Fender gig bag to protect it on its journey which will be inside a cardboard box that I have ready to post it in. The bag isn't included as part of the sale as the front accessory pocket zip is burst. the main zip that holds it in is working. Not really sure how to price this so I'll start at £200 ono.

  2. For some reason I immediately thought of this: [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-5EmnQp3V48"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-5EmnQp3V48[/url]
  3. Did you buy it from new? Trace did have 200w 10" speakers in cabs like the special 4x10" that I think was designed to go with the V-type stuff - Thornybank had one Possible that its been changed before you bought it?
  4. I rarely get mine above 4 in bridge mode either, plus with me having an active bass and using the passive input, the volume really gets loud at that point. Its like those old power showers that you used to get where there was one micron of movement in the heating control between icicles and scalding you
  5. They both have a place depending on what you're after. I've had HA3500, HA5500a, LH500 (x2) & LH1000 The HA models are great if you're looking for a lot of control of your sound but if you want simple and something that sounds good with minimal adjustment the the LH series are the ones to go for
  6. Definitely Chromes. Depending on where you play and how hard you hit the strings they can sounds thick and thuddy or cut like a knife I also discovered tonight that my regular fingerstyle sound makes for a really good slap sound
  7. [quote name='paul_5' timestamp='1378971507' post='2207077'] Don't put it in the corner then! That'll make it very boomy (as you've just discovered). [/quote] You never saw the pub [size=4] [/size] [size=4]Against the back wall is enough but back and side walls was bass city but it was still so clear[/size]
  8. I saw that earlier and thought the title was just a load of random words. I was going to contact the seller to say "cabbage bottom fish bananas I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts fnarr[size=4]"[/size]
  9. That would be a hell of a lot of cakes I can't imagine there would be much resale value either - I could always sell them on Ebay later on as ******RARE********COOL*******DISCONTINUED*********CAKES So to answer your question - no. And for others looking I'm not interested in any Tunnocks teacakes, Fray Bentos Steak & Kidley Pies, Werthers Originals and definitely no hot cross buns [size=4] [/size]
  10. [quote name='MoJoKe' timestamp='1379163616' post='2209323'] [size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][color=#020202][color=#222222]The UK distributor, MSL, are the only company who can supply 240v units into the UK. Both DV and Thomann can only supply 230v.[/color][/color][/font][/size] [/quote] Can someone tell me how this would affect an amp as we've been on 230v ( -6% & +10% ) for a number of years now so everything should work anywhere in Europe. I did wonder why my Hartke arrived with a euro plug inside the box and another 3-pin plug along with it from DV, totally explains why now.
  11. I could be open to trades on this but not for pedals.
  12. [quote name='Conan' timestamp='1378972132' post='2207093'] Great bass. Great price. Are you 100% sure you won't post? Even if the buyer were to organise the courier? [/quote] I've already asked via the Ebay ad, hence the "Bah"
  13. [quote name='stubass' timestamp='1378904974' post='2206291'] Thanks Dan, and thanks to charic too! DV have (reluctantly) price matched the hartke and thrown in their 4 year warranty so I've went for it. Should be here Friday. Happy! Now, how do I break the news to the wife! Seriously, thanks guys, a 500w hartke for £250! Sick! [/quote] nice one - I did exactly the same a couple of weeks ago and got £84 off a Hartke LH1000 [size=4] [/size]
  14. I bought as LH1000 as I got a good deal on one, plus it gives me lots of options if I were to change my cab(s) as it's really just a big two channel power amp that is bridgeable with a nice simple preamp. Very loud, very clear compared to most of what I've used before, in fact I can hear fret rattle that I didn't before. I'm only using a single Laney 4x10" and its plenty loud for what I need - I also play with two guitarists and a drummer plus I don't go through the PA. In fact last week when I was gigging my cab was in the corner of the room there was so much bass that it felt like my brain was vibrating but I could still hear every note.
  15. So the general concensus is that if you look like a string of sausages when wearing a bass with a belt then you're boned, otherwise you're a clumsy oaf [size=4] [/size] [size=4]There are so many nice basses for sale now that I love the look of but then I see huge and I mean huge chips out of the paintwork and think How? Those finishes are really tough so you must be trying out your Paul Simonon moves to get them like that surely.[/size]
  16. I recently got this in a trade but after a couple of gigs I've come to the conclusion that I prefer the straight tone of my bass and can't be bothered spending the time to get this pedal to sound the way I want it to. it really is a fantastic pedal, the solid construction makes Boss pedals look like they're made of plastic. There are a lot of great tones in this pedal from subtle overdrive to a nice distortion but I think I'll just stick with my pedal tuner and Boss EQ pedal. There are a couple of scratches on the front edge of the pedal but you can't see them when they're on your board and there is some heavy duty velcro fitted to the underside. The pedal comes in its original box and the price includes postage within mainland UK some details from the website: [color=#000000][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=4][b]The AGRO[/b][/size][/font][/color][color=#000000][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=2][b][sup]®[/sup][/b][/size][/font][/color][color=#000000][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=4][b] is based on the saturation channel of Aguilar's celebrated AG 500 bass head. Capable of producing everything from warm, tube-like overdrive to full on distortion, this pedal will give you the grind you need without sucking out your low end.[/b][/size][/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=4][b]The AGRO[/b][/size][/font][/color][color=#000000][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=2][b][sup]®[/sup][/b][/size][/font][/color][color=#000000][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=4][b] offers a wealth of overdriven sounds within an easy to use, 4-knob layout. The Saturation control offers a tremendous range of distortion while the Contour control allows you to dial in a scooped or a more aggressive boosted midrange sound. The Presence knob adds the right amount of 'attack' ensuring that your bass remains defined even with the most saturated settings. The output level control guarantees that you'll be able to get the distortion you want at any volume level.[/b][/size][/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=3]Separate Saturation and output level controls[/size][/font][/color] [left] [b]Contour control:[/b] broad spectrum mid scoop centered around 900Hz [b]Presence control:[/b] + 6dB/-20dB >4kHz Gig-saver bypass (signal passes even if your battery dies) [b]Power:[/b] Nine-volt battery or optional universal power supply Heavy Duty steel construction [b]Inputs:[/b] One 1/4" jack[/left] [left] [color=#000000][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=3][b]Outputs:[/b] One 1/4" jack [b]Controls:[/b] Engage switch [b]Warranty:[/b] Three year limited [b]Optional:[/b] 9 volt power supply[/size][/font][/color][/left] [color=#000000][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=3][url="http://s927.photobucket.com/user/Delberthot/media/DSCF0594_zpsdf7776c7.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s927.photobucket.com/user/Delberthot/media/DSCF0596_zps325f55df.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s927.photobucket.com/user/Delberthot/media/DSCF0588_zpse75ca6fc.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s927.photobucket.com/user/Delberthot/media/DSCF0593_zps4e61c135.jpg.html"][/url][/size][/font][/color]
  17. Is this bass still for sale?
  18. I had a particularly loud Marquee last weekend and I had to crank it for the entire night. two songs from the end, the magic light came on and cut the signal for maybe 30 seconds but that was enough for me I sold it and replaced with a lovely big loud and heavy Hartke LH1000. Clear as a bell nearly wet myself when I heard how loud, clear and punchy it was
  19. There's something that I need to understand None of my basses have ever suffered from this and no one else's that I know either. So what is bucklerash and why does it happen? When wearing a shirt tucked in I make sure that it is loose enough that the buckle on my belt doesn't make contact with my bass. Why do basses appear with big chips in them? Are people really that clumsy/unlucky/neanderthal/candygram for Mongo? I don't always put my bass away first but after 15 months my Precision still looks exactly the same as when I left the shop with it. No dinks,scratches, chunks of paint missing,holes,etc I'm not having a go at anyone but are some people more accident prone than others or something?
  20. Man, you need to stop doing this to me - these Jazzes with the blocks are tempting me to get out the credit card [size=4] [/size] [size=4]Funny, I never cared much for block inlays before I got my Precision but now I love them[/size]
  21. Maybe someone thought they were buying a rare prototype Fender made by Leo himself after several shandies and a blindfold on. And mittens
