    Worked for me, I just searched for headless bass without the additional gubbins.

    I played the violin to a pretty decent standard when I was younger (with dots), however didn't have too many issues leaning stuff to play without them when I picked up the bass. Just takes a bit of time and maybe a few simple tunes to start with.

    I didn't start until I was 46 so no issues at all.

    Adrian recently purchased some pickups from me. Very smooth transaction, PMs a-plenty, all good. Top banana, deal in complete confidence.

    I suppose I had better bump this :-(

    [quote name='anzoid' timestamp='1499378869' post='3331238'] Done. And don't worry Froggy... GAS can't be cured, only suppressed [/quote] When I flashed past this post on the way down to the reply box I thought it said GAS could only be cured by suppositories That would be a concern. Done by the way. Why the Q on kids living at home?

    [quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1499197439' post='3329924'] Never heard of him. [/quote] [quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1499206129' post='3330020'] Same here. I don`t really go a bundle on sig instruments, that said I`ve had Fender Mike Dirnt, Duff McKagan & Dee Dee Ramone Sig basses - still got the Dee Dee. Probably bought them more for the reviews than for sounding like the artist though, whatever bass I have I set it with my sound, not anyone elses. The Dee Dee is a fantastic Precision though, it`s surplus to requirements so I`m offloading - buyer lined up already - but it really is a great bass, the neck is chunk-tastic.

    I think the optimum for me would be V/V/T with a kill switch. However if you have the noiseless p/ups then V/T/4-way switch giving neck only/both parallel/both series/bridge only options works well for four instant tone changes. Personally not a fan of the stacked knob J bass setup. YMMV of course

    I know, seriously tough decision and if nobody bites I'll be completely un-gutted

    [quote name='Roger2611' timestamp='1499076853' post='3328939'] We used to do Back of my Hand by the Jags, great song to play and always well received [/quote] A great song indeed.

    Hi all For sale is my Sterling By Music Man SB14 bass. This is one of around 1,000 basses made in this colour and dates to 2010 (not 2011 as I had previously written - made in Indonesia). The bass is in excellent overall condition with a couple of light scratches on the back which I will see if I can polish out. A couple of things to mention:[list] [*]When I got the bass the previous owner had clearly taken a file to the nut in a none too subtle way so the bass now sports a buffalo horn nut (like bone but black - to keep the overall blackness level) [*]The pickguard had some scratches too so the bass now has a new custom p/g in the same B/W/B scheme as the original one (original one included) [*]I have just had a pro setup done on the bass including fret leveling and polishing and a brand new set of D'Addario EXL170BT strings. [/list] The necks on these are pretty slim and quite jazz-like. This particular bass weighs in at bang on 9lbs by my scales so quite light for the breed. The body is basswood, and the maple neck has some birdseye content too. The rosewood board has been cleaned and oiled as well. The electronics are 3EQ plus pickup coil switching to give three options: Parallel for the classic Stingray sound; single coil with phantom coil - hum cancelling; and series options. The bass comes with an SBMM gig bag; probably the best gig bag I've come across with nice soft and thick padding. These SBMM basses get a lot of love on t'interweb. Thanks for looking.

    Knebworth to see Led Zep.

    I have a VS and a TT both from the newer California II range. As far as I can see the bodies and necks are very similar.

    For sale is this P bass pickup from my Sandberg VS bass. In 'like new' condition. Branded with the Sandberg 4 dots, but looking and awful lot like a Delano pickup. £35 posted UK mainland. Any questions please ask.
  21. ead
    Contratulations and good luck to you both.

    [quote name='PawelG' timestamp='1498260007' post='3323553'] Seen it on gumtree, what are your concerns? [/quote] [quote name='gjones' timestamp='1498260749' post='3323559'] Only Japanese Squiers were Silver Series. They have Silvers Series written on the headstock. This one doesn't. This one has a grounding strip. Only the Japanese Squiers had the grounding strip going from the bridge to the back pickup, like the Jazz basses in the early 60s did. The Korean models didn't (as far as I am aware). The serial number, which starts E10, shows that the neck was manufactured in Korea, in 1987/88 [/quote] Pretty much this!

    http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Squier-Jazz-Bass-Silver-Series-early-korean-s-n-E10-Seymour-Duncan-pickups-/182633501464? Doesn't look right in many ways. I have contacted the seller with my concerns but not sure how to report to eBay.

    This looks pretty tasty for less than £1k... https://www.thomann.de/gb/sandberg_california_ii_tt4_rw_ts.htm
