These Reed James Neo pickups were spares for my Sadowsky UV70 5 string. Not known so well in the UK, but James Reed is getting some incredible attention for his pickup innovations in the US. New to buy $250. Price £60. Used but in great condition. 94 x 18mm 40mm from centre to centre of each mounting screw Photos here: http://s1342.photobucket.com/user/lawriemacmillan/library/Reed James Neo Pickups?sort=3&page=1 Link to the official website for clips and info: http://reedjamescustom.com/id46.html

Swedish-made, early to mid-1960s model. Weight: 3.5kg/7.7ibs 30.5" scale ('shortscale') length 21 fret neck with rosewood fingerboard. Lightweight hollow body. 35mm nut. Beautiful blue colour. Blue leatherette rear. All original and in great condition but tone knob cap missing. Deluxe model due to the 'cheese grater' grill between the pickups. 'Expander' sticker on the rear of headstock refers to the truss rod! Strung with LaBella flatwounds This is a fun and inspiring instrument. It's easy to dial and switch from authentic McCartney-esque mellow tones to retro soundtrack clicky pick sounds. Here's some pictures: [url="http://s1342.photobucket.com/user/lawriemacmillan/library/Hagstrom%201?sort=3&page=1"]http://s1342.photobu...1?sort=3&page=1[/url] UK posted included in the price. It comes with a very old case simply to keep the dust off it, but I'll pack and box it securely.

I bought this new from the California-based company Bass Mods five years ago and it's mostly been a studio instrument for me, although I have used it on some big shows. 6 string Jazz-type bass. 35" (extra long) scale length. Ash body. 22 fret Maple neck with satin finish. Maple fingerboard with white blocks and binding. Comfortable 'Flattened D' neck profile. [i]Custom features I've added to enhance the playability and functionality of the bass:[/i] - Sadowsky-style black aluminium tone knobs replaced the stainless steel knobs. - Hipshot Ultralite tuning heads. - Acrylic pickguard replaced the original black guard. - Ash Headstock face with matching flush truss rod cover replaced the original black glossy acrylic facing. - Ash battery compartment cover. - Dunlop Straplocks [i]Standard features:[/i] - Weight: 6kg/13lbs - 3-Band active 18v EQ (Vol/Blend/Mid cut & boost/stacked bass & treble cut & boost) - 18mm string spacing at bridge. - 55mm nut. - Kent Armstrong humcancelling soapbar pickups. - Individual bridge units. Original black pickguard included. Black padded MonoStrap also included. Tonally, the higher range of this bass shares more characteristics with a high-end Warwick, yet it retains a classic appearance and sound, particularly in the lower range. The B string really is incredible. The best B string I've used in the studio. The higher range of notes are smooth not brittle, and the volume is even all over the fingerboard. Wide string spacing makes for little adjustment when transferring slap techniques over from four string. Mid-range punch is impressively prominent, and well-suited to fingerstyle funk. Condition is very good. No obvious bumps or dents, only some blemishes and lights scratches, mostly on the rear surface. The position of the bridge units have been adjusted to improve intonation, which means strings-through-body is no longer an option.

[quote name='Painy' timestamp='1423327732' post='2683616'] Can't say how badly I want this bass! I've been looking at the Squier VM P5 but there's a good chance a little bit of money may be coming my way - just not sure exactly how soon it'll be. If it does, and in the unlikely event that this doesn't get snapped up by someone else before then, I'll be all over this one! [/quote] Sorry man, it's sold!

Price drop and photos added on the photobucket link!

Sunday bump!

Lovely bass and I can vouch for the Nordstrand pickups being a desirable addition to a bass like this. I have the 5 string version of them in my Sadowsky. Chris McIntyre does great setups too, so now's the time to grab this instrument!

I was indeed given a very generous loan of this bass, and played it direct through the PA at a gig in Bethnal Green. I remember putting a bit of foam under the strings near the bridge and achieved a dubby/double bass sound. Although I'm more accustomed to a longer-scale Washburn acoustic 5 string, it didn't take me long to find some nice sweet spots on the neck. It's not bulky either, so it would make a handy bass to have sitting on a stand for home practice/learning songs etc. Great value for money!
