I was trying to remember their name (The New Mastersounds), thanks for posting!

Having just upgraded the pickup (Fender Custom Shop '59) and the wiring loom on my JBP I have notice a really nice improvement in tone taking it from a really good bass to a great bass so am now minded to do something with the JJB too. I was just scouting evilbay and stumbled across a set of the Tom Brantley pickups (he does Geddy Lee's pickups). Too much of a coincidence so I have just acquired them. I'll now look for a suitable loom. Reporting back will of course be in order once everything arrives and is installed and tested.

Incredibly rude not to, I agree. Interestingly I swapped the harness out first and ran it with the original fit pickup and there was a noticeable improvement. The pickup swap just doubled down on that benefit. It has got me thinking about doing something with electronics on the JJB-300 I have.

Just to update the group, I decided to upgrade the harness with some CTS pots etc. and added a Fender Custom Shop '59 p/up. Now sounds approx. 44.7% more awesome; apologies I can't be any more accurate than that.

And now the one that I am really dreading to have to sell. In fact if nobody wants it I'll have zero disappointment. This was my first every bass from Alan and was acquired in 2012. It's a stunning bass, the full specs are here: https://acguitars.co.uk/project/0120-custom-j-type-fretless-4/ The bass weighs a shade over 4kgs and comes with one of the amazing Fusion gigbags. Collection or meet up preferred. I might consider postage but not 100% certain yet. Here are the pics:

SOLD ELSEWHERE Another painful to me sale as this bass and I have played quite a few gigs together. I commissioned this from Alan in around 2015/16 and aside from a couple of years 'on extended loan' to another BCer I have been the only keeper of this lovely instrument. Very sad that general arthritis is taking its toll. Anyway, one of only P Types in the known universe, this is a lovely and very flexible beastie. Specs are here: https://acguitars.co.uk/project/0252-p-type-4/ Very portable too at only 3.6kgs (just under 8lbs). The East/ACG P Retro is massively flexible with active/passive switch and a tone control that works when the EQ is engaged. The bass comes with a decent gig bag. As always collection/meet up preferred, postage could be an option. Happy to answer any questions and thanks for stopping by.

Hi folks. Here we have a modified (by one of our own) Westone Thunder 1A that I bought recently in the hope that the physically smaller size might help me a bit with continuing to play. But alas not. The mods are: The original light oak finish has been stripped back and the body lightly stained with a black oil finish The headstock has been reshaped (hint of Fodera maybe?) New tuners fitted (originals have been lost in the mists of time) Pickup and electronics are all original (and work fine) New knobs (again the originals are AWOL) Bridge cover and thumb rest added The bass weighs bang on 4kgs on my digital scales and will come with a decent gig bag. Collection/meet up much preferred but I can post. Plenty of pics attached including the original s/n. Any questions please ask; thanks for stopping by.- 12 replies

Sadly the issues with my hands are getting no better and I have come to the sad conclusion that I some of my basses cause me more discomfort than others and are getting little or no attention at the moment. Selling this one is particularly egregious to me as it's a beautiful instrument (to me at any rate) with a high degree of flexibility in terms of the pickups/EQ options. But it needs to be cherished and more importantly played. The bass weighs 4kgs exactly. The bass is like new and I can't find a mark on it. It will come with a mega TGI Ultimate Protection hard soft-case. The specs are on the ACG website here: https://acguitars.co.uk/project/0500slg4-32/ Happy to answer any questions or provide more pics as required. You are welcome to come and try the bass out too of course. As always collection or meet up is preferred, but given the nature of the case postage is an option too. Here are some pics and thanks for stopping by:

Much as I like Gibson basses, I couldn't find one that really worked for me so I commissioned one here in the UK. Sadly a little above your budget

Just done some bizniz with Peter. Totally great to deal with, super comms etc. Deal in confidence bass peeps.

Goodness, in a year that gave us albums like Angel Dust, RATM, Automatic for the People, Dirt, Images and Words, and Us (I think this was released in '92), if so this is a simple but so effective bass part.

SOLD ELSEWHERE I bought this bass not too long ago in the hope that it would be a suitable proxy for my first proper bass, the original first series Spector Legend. It turns out that I still want my actual bass back despite this being a seriously good bass (actually quite a lot better). Therefore, after much soul-searching and inner contemplation I have decided to sell this one. This is the upgrade NS Pulse II bass with some seriously good features. The bass is truly in excellent condition. The roasted maple neck is particularly delightful with a lovely satin finish. Weight is a very manageable at just under 8lbs (3.6kgs). The bass comes with a good quality gig bag. Please believe me when I say that these are fantastic basses and that this is a very reluctant sale. £750 OVNO. Collection or some convenient meeting place preferred but can offer postage if necessary; we can discuss this option. Trades: I'm looking for a nice P bass (cash either way). My preference is rosewood board, vintage sized frets, 9lbs or less in weight ideally (but just over 9lbs is not a deal breaker). The specs are as follows: Neck · Bolt on 3pc Roasted Maple neck · Macassar Ebony finger board 34” scale length, with 24frets · Luminlay side dots and Spector logo at 12th fret · Width at nut: 1.57" Body · The original NS curved and carved Swamp Ash body with quilted maple top · Black cherry matt finish Hardware · Black · Bridge: Spector locking high-mass bridge, with intonation screws · String spacing at bridge: 0.75" (19mm) Pickups and electronics · Neck pickup (active): EMG P · Bridge pickup (active): EMG J · Preamp: Spector TonePump Jnr. 2-band EQ · Controls: Pickup volume, blend, treble and bass EQ If you have any questions at all, or require additional pictures of any details please ask away and I give as comprehensive an answer as I am able! These pics were taken before the post-it note situation and I will re-take these asap to confirm this. All my sales have had pics taken against this very piece of wall/floor if that offers any re-assurance.

Hi folks, I picked this up a little while ago, on a bit of a whim to be honest, and it has mostly sat in its box glaring at me. The watch seems to be pretty decent quality and comes with a couple of spare NATO straps alongside the original fit Army Green item for different looks (black and dark blue with a red stripe). All working and in good order. Not a mark on it. £50 posted Special Delivery to you (UK). Here's the link to the Lakland website and a few photos too: https://www.lakland.com/product/lakland-watch/

Excellent transaction with Andy for a strap. All very easy and so quick, thanks a lot. Deal in confidence peeps.

There's a Jazz and a slab P bass for sale from the creators: https://classicandcoolguitars.co.uk/portfolio/new-limelight-00302-66-slab-precision-bass/

Great to see BBT are touring again.

Second time this year see the Kate Bush tribute Cloudbusting. Extraordinary gig up in the Muni Theatre, Colne, with our very own @sprocketflup, aka Dave, on duty with top bass playing (fretted, fretless and upright), singing and general bouncing duty. Way too much talent for one person. Check these folks out people. If you like KB's music you will not be disappointed. The crowd were loving it and although the pics don't reflect it, the show was pretty much a sell-out. You don't often see two basses being played during a song. Guitarist on a Jazz bass and our man on a fretless 5er.

If you want to come and try mine you'd be more than welcome (I'm in Chorley). The nut on mine is 1.6 (41mm), but it's deffo a modern C shape and very comfy.
