  1. I'm sure I saw a post from someone on here looking for one of these. @ash was it you?
  2. Pretty much what it says in the title good peeps of BC world. I believe this pickups come from the Fender US Mike Dirnt basses and are not generally available as accessories to purchase. You will notice that I have repaired the ground wire as I thought that the previous owner's effort was sub-standard. Price includes postage to UK mainland. Anyway pics below. Thanks for looking.
  3. Possibly consider a lower order passive Jazz bass and stick a John East preamp in it?
  4. Used to be mine this one. Lovely bass and records wonderfully.
  5. Hi folks, thanks for stopping by. For sale are these excellent Tom Brantley Geddy Lee jazz bass pickups. You can get them in from the US at $180US + postage + taxes + customs + VAT etc. that I calculate comes to around £225 all told. Alternatively you could just buy these and avoid the wait as they are currently out of stock Some info here on t'interweb: https://tombrantleyrewinds.com/newpickups/geddyleejazzbasspickups
  6. Thanks Rich. I am going to cling on to a couple if nothing else just to make a bit of noise now and again. I am talking to a specialist about some treatment too, but not holding my breath on that part.
  7. They did indeed. The front is pretty good too but the p/g obscures most of it. I'd like to think that this being one of the very early ones, that extra care was taken. Who knows...
  8. Due to arthritis really starting to affect my hands I am selling off pretty much all my basses. It now falls to me to sell my Jet basses. Both the J and this one, the P bass, are really nice instruments with some really high-grade features for their price point. I have to say that the neck on this bass is an absolute delight to move around on. The full spec is below. The bass comes with a new Fender gig bag, and this one weighs a very playable 3.6kgs. The upgrades that I have made are as follows: · Full copper foil shielding · Good quality loom I’d say the colour is very similar to the Sherwood Green that Fender has. The bass is in very good condition having been used at home for practice and I will be immensely sad to see it go. The bass will come with the original split coil pickup fitted. This is a very nice ceramic pickup with a good strong output typical of their type. Specifications: Hardware: Chrome, Vintage-style Neck: Canadian roasted maple Shape: Modern C Fretboard: Rosewood Radius: 12″ Nut Width: 42mm (1.7″) Nut: Bone Truss rod: Double action String Scale: 34″ Number of frets: 20 Body: Roasted Poplar Pickup: 1x split coil Pickguard: Red tortoise Controls: 1 volume, 1 Tone Strings: D’Addario As ever collection or meet up is preferred, but I have packaging and can ship to the UK only. If you want any more information or pictures, please just ask. Thanks for stopping by.

  10. Just needs a bit more aging with a belt sander maybe?
  11. NOW TRADED Here's the next one in the great arthritis-induced bass sell off. Your chance to bear the burden of ownership of a lovely Squier Vintage Modified Precision Bass TB - 3 Tone Sunburst as these basses only appear for sale occasionally. The serial number is from 2007/08 so that would make this bass one of the very early ones as these basses were only sold between 2008 and 1012. Solid old-school rock thump; think Fender 70s tele basses. The bass is currently strung with some well-worn in Thomastik TI Flats. The Ash top and back have particularly lovely grain that shows through the finish. The bass has benefitted from some quality upgrades: · The bridge is a 4-saddle item with brass saddles, possibly Wilkinson given the tuning machines fitted. Normal and through-body stringing are supported. · The tuners are Wilkinson long stem items. · I believe that the electronics have almost certainly been upgraded but I cannot 100% guarantee that · There is also a pickup surround that is not original and was on the bass when I acquired it. Here are the full specs: · Body: Basswood with Ash top and back. · Bridge: 2-Saddle Vintage-Style Precision Bass® - upgraded with 4-saddle bridge with brass saddles · Colour: 3-Color Sunburst · Controls: Master Volume, Master Tone – upgraded electronics · Country Of Origin: Indonesia · Fingerboard: Maple with black dot inlays · Fingerboard Radius: 9.5" (241 mm) · Neck Pickup: Fender-Designed Humbucker · Neck Finish: Satin Urethane · Neck Material: Maple · Neck Shape: "C" Shape · Number of Frets: 20 · Nut Width: 1.6” (40.6 mm) · Scale Length: 34" (86.36 cm) · Tuning Machines: Standard Open-Gear – upgraded with Wilkinson long stem tuners The bass weighs 4.1kgs (or 9lbs in old money) on my digital scales and will come with a good quality gigbag. It is in very good condition with hardly a mark on it that I can find, the finish is a lovely gloss that show all the reflections of the stone which doesn't help when you're not a very good photographer! If you have any questions please just ask. Also, if you want any more pictures of any part of the bass, I’ll do my best to capture the detail you are after. Collection or meeting up somewhere is much preferred, but I have packaging so can post (UK Only). I'll split the cost of postage 50/50 wit you. I realise that I need to do a proof of ownership pic., but if you have any concerns please look at my ACG J-Type listing you will see the same floor and wall behind the bass that will hopefully give you some re-assurance ahead of me sorting out a picture.
  12. My old bass that started life as a simple ACG styled P bass but then I modded with a new pickup and switch. Cracking bass that I would have back in a heartbeat but for the increasing arthritis issues I have.
  13. Wasn't there a now legendary blind P bass shoot-out at one of the (southern?) bass bashes where it turned out nobody could really identify which configuration was which and the one everyone favoured wasn't actually a Fender P?
  14. I used to use both active and passive basses. For reasons best known to higher beings I liked active fretless bases more than their passive cousins and for fretted instruments Ps and Js, mostly passive. Sadly now having to sell stuff off, but I'm going to hang on to one ACG fretless bass (active) and a P and a J style bass so that I can keep making noises until my fingers freeze up completely.
  15. Sorry to hear this; mine was pretty good straight out of the box. I lowered the string height a tad with the bridge saddles, but didn't need to adjust the truss rod. Mine sits fine on the strap but I agree there is a little neck dive on my lap. I guess it's just the lightweight body and maybe heavy-ish tuners; probably solvable with an upgrade. By way of comparison my JJB (at 4kgs) balances perfectly.
  16. Just acquired Jonny's B6. Great comms, item exactly as described and quick dispatch. I just need to read the instructions now.
  17. Dave has just bought some strings from me and came and collected them. Great guy and super easy to deal with.
  18. I would double check the J neck pickup dimensions as I have a feeling that it's the narrow neck size.
  19. Thanks for the recommendation but string spacing would be an issue for me (fat fingers). I will amend my post to reflect this.
