    Stunning! Way out of my league though, sadly Good luck!

    Larry Graham-tastic!! That is the pimp-mobile of J basses! Beautiful.

    [quote name='Jonny Walker' timestamp='1392133826' post='2365140'] i know its the trend to get tiny lightweight cabs but i really don't see a problem having a big rig ... wish people would man up a bit! [/quote] I am going to print this post and mail it to you in thirty years time. See if you still feel the same way then! There was a time when I used to [i][b]look forward[/b][/i] to lugging my two Trace cabs out of a gig (both at around 45kg) - one in each hand! Not now though...

    [quote name='dudu' timestamp='1391456281' post='2357402'] If you have a Marcus Miller V in similar nick and could use some cash in a trade, [/quote] Must it be a five? I have a very nice four string MM... see my sig.

    [quote name='Pete1967' timestamp='1392163411' post='2365633'] For me, the only reason to swap tuners out is to cure neck dive. IME even cheap tuners hold intonation fine for all practical purposes and I've never detected a change in tone. If you have neck dive, go for Hipshot ultralites ot Schaller BM Lites and live with the holes that are left (or plug them). Otherwise put the money towards those boots, or beer..... [/quote] Wise words! If you want a different tone from your bass, first off try a different brand or gauge of strings - cheap and easy! Next, look at swapping pickups (but this can be expensive and not always give the change you were looking for). A different bridge [i][b]may[/b][/i] help... (I'm not convinced by this one, but there are many who are!). Tuners? I've never heard of anyone swapping tuners to get a different tone. I just can't see how it would make much difference at all!

    [quote name='louisthebass' timestamp='1391848367' post='2361908'] Ewan Vernal (Deacon Blue) [/quote] Good call! he played on this too... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4I8gd8rlpGw

    [quote name='Dom in Somerset' timestamp='1392023416' post='2363580'] Or do you have a big one ?(ooh er) [/quote] Funny you should say that...! I am in the middle of trading my Barefaced Compact (which is nice and small, but very loud) for a Barefaced Big One! Bigger, and certainly as loud My Hartke LH500 barely breaks sweat and the whole rig is a one-trip carry. Certainly better than the 20 years I struggled with a Trace Elliott stack (AH250, 1518 and 1048). I feel tired just thinking about it... Interestingly, I'm not sure my sound has changed that much either

    [quote name='h8dabass' timestamp='1392095894' post='2364563'] Hoping there'd be a wee bit more interest type bump. [/quote] Great price. Great bass. Crap market at the moment...

    If I sell my Marcus Miller Jazz before this one goes, it will be mine. Oh yes, it will be mine!

    If you wanted to buy one of these new, it would cost at least £930 (rrp £1222!). And that would be the Mexican-made version. [url="http://www.gak.co.uk/en/fender-marcus-miller-jazz-bass-natural-maple/15834"]http://www.gak.co.uk...ral-maple/15834[/url][list] [*]The East preamp would set you back another £230 (plus fitting costs, if you couldn't do it yourself). [*]A bone nut could well be over £50 (not that I've ever had one fitted myself). [*]Wizard Hammers are no longer made, and are very well thought of by many J players. They are my personal favourite J pickups. You might be able to pick up a used set for £80 if you were [b][i]very[/i][/b] lucky... [/list] So a new MIM Marcus Miller J, with similar upgrades to mine, would cost upwards of [i][b]£1320[/b][/i]. All I am asking is[size=8][b] £800[/b][/size]. [i]You[/i] do the maths!!

    Any interest in a Marcus Miller Jazz? 4 string, with significant upgrades?

    [quote name='juliusmonk' timestamp='1391628933' post='2359490'] significant buckle rash (I guess) on the battery compartment cover, where the screw has been replaced. The 'damage' is also apparent in the wood immediately next to the cover screw, to the left of it. It all pictured below. This all has no effect whatsoever on the bass, other than cosmetically. I have tried to account for it in the cash price. [/quote] Lovely basses these. Would love to own one again. Shame about that scratching on the back though - someone really made a mess of that!
  16. Conan
    What does it sound like compared to a Fender Jazz? And would you be interested in a trade (with cash my way) for my Marcus Miller J? [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/227552-fender-marcus-miller-jazz-cij-2005-with-upgrades/"]http://basschat.co.uk/topic/227552-fender-marcus-miller-jazz-cij-2005-with-upgrades/[/url] PM me if you are interested.

    [quote name='CHRISDABASS' timestamp='1391688395' post='2360142']I've had word from andy at wizard recently that some lucky chap bought all his stock / specs etc and expects this new fella to start up making pickups in April! Keep your eyes peeled![/quote] Result! Looking forward to the new "Gandalf" pickups!

    Under-rated by whom? Maybe "less-well-known" would be a better descriptor...
  19. Conan
    I've got one of them...
  20. Conan
    Now [b][i]definitely[/i][/b] on hold pending trade
  21. Conan
    [quote name='chaypup' timestamp='1391766057' post='2360974'] Oh go on then..... Is it any good for metal? [/quote]
  22. Conan
    [quote name='andydye' timestamp='1391680455' post='2359977'] Larger! [size=6]AWESOME! [/size] [/quote] Not larger than a Vintage, I hasten to add! [i]Does[/i] Alex make anything larger than a Vintage?
  23. Conan
    [quote name='Pinball' timestamp='1391684620' post='2360061'] GL with your sale. [/quote] Likewise!
  24. Conan
    [quote name='andydye' timestamp='1391680159' post='2359973'] not something vintage by any chance? that would be a shame [/quote] Actually..... No! Think something larger.... And I think it will suit me better too.
  25. Conan
    Tentatively on hold pending a possible (Barefaced!) trade. Mods, please don't lock the thread yet - will update when I am sure what is happening!
