Almost what I'm dreaming of, but I'm heading towards a more Geddy look with a parchment p/g

I would try Mark at Classic and Cool. He has always given me the best prices for builds as is a Sandberg agent. He always has a few in stock too. https://classicandcoolguitars.co.uk/sandberg-new-basses/

I have just acquired an A5 (through-neck) from @Skezza of this parish which is also very lovely. Pre-loved makes it even more splendid in terms of value for money

Just acquired a lovely Cort A5 from Skezza. Top bloke to deal with, easy comms and very kindly drove up to meet me half way. Thanks for such a smooth deal.

None of my Spectors have been more than 9lbs in weight, but of course it depends upon personal preference.
-
Sorry can't help with that particular model, but do give some consideration to a preloved Legend too. I has the curved body and don't cost too much either.

When I cange a battery in one of my basses I always write the date on it so I can quickly check if I need to. My mate always changes all of his on his birthday which is also a good shout.

I think Kylie has the same problem.

Now sold elsewhere. -
I remember it being a bit of a revelation when it came out. Saw the band a few times in the early years and was always impressed by how well the various instruments wove in and out and just how many multi-instrumentalists were in one band. Thanks for the memories.

Recently completed a multi product exchange including my P bass, Lee's amp and a Fistfull of Dollars. That's right we watched a socially distancing video. Needless to say Lee is a top bloke and having not seen him for a while we had a good natter while Lee played an unplugged bass to bewildered passers-by and I pretended to know what the controls on the (unplugged) amp were about. In summary a Mary Poppins of a transaction, thanks very much Lee. Now if only I'd thought to bring a portable BBQ we could have done A Few Dollars More

That's a piano isn't it?

I wonder what would have happened if the legal decision had gone the other way. If this show of childish petulance is anything to go by I would suggest not well for the other PF members. Wog, you made your bed, now lie in it.

Thanks. Got a response on TB from the Mr A Horse so in hand.

Hi folks Having just acquired a new head in a trade I thought that I might put the GB up for sale as it is my current backup and my current main amp will do just fine as a backup from now on. I thought I should give it a good look over and test before doing so only to find that it makes a buzzing sound now and that the output volume doesn't have the impact it once did! Is this symptomatic of a valve needing replacement and if so is that expensive and any recommendations where to find them please. Is it worth repairing I suppose is another question which I guess depends upon the cost. The blue LEDs are no longer working but that is less of an issue overall. Many thanks

Bass players you didn't know were bass players

Stuart Goddard played bass in Bazooka Joe before becoming Adam Ant. -
Now sold. Thank you for all the interest.

Sorry no trades on this one thanks.

Hi thanks for the interest. Pickup and BA II both std. The gig bag was not the one the bass came with but I acquired a decent quality Fender item to house it.

Now sold, thanks for all the interest. Fender Highway One Precision Bass 2009 This series is the mid life upgrade of the Highway 1 series that include a nitro finish, BadAss II, 70s logo etc. The bass is in good condition with hardly any fret wear and the nitro finish has started to wear in and shine up a little on the back and the slanty bit where your forearm typically rubs. There are a few small dings and a bit of buckle rash as I’ve tried to capture in the pictures. Nice and light at 8lbs 5oz. The bass comes with a deluxe Fender padded gigbag and an additional matt black pickguard (currently fitted). Plenty of love for these on t’interweb. Highway One Precision Bass Features: Body: Alder with The thin nitrocellulose lacquer finish Neck: Maple, Modern "C" Shape, (satin Polyurethane finish) Fingerboard: Rosewood, 9.5" Radius (241mm) No. of Frets: 20 Medium Jumbo Frets with white dot position markers Pickups: 1 Standard Vintage Alnico Split Single-Coil Precision Bass Pickup (Mid) Controls: Volume, Greasebucket™ Tone Circuit (Rolls Off Highs without Adding Bass). Bridge: Leo Quan Badass® II Bridge with 4 Pre-Grooved Saddles Machine Heads: Standard Hardware: Chrome Pickguard: 3-Ply Parchment Scale Length: 34" (864 mm) Width at Nut: 1.625" (41.3 mm) 70s headstock logo Now that we are allowed to move about to a degree I’d much prefer to meet up somewhere in person to exchange the bass with suitable social distancing. A courier would be a last resort and would be for you to organise. I will be very flexible with your collection arrangements as I am working from home all the while. Here are some pics of the bass. It is currently sporting the replacement matt black p/guard and I'll remove the sticker ahead of the sale if you want the black as well as the original pickguard. I've done my best to capture the roadworn elements but if you'd like more detail please just ask.

I've backed off the trim pot to around 50% possibly a bit less, I can't recall exactly as I've not looked at it since I set it up. I did the same to my '77 Euro LE.

Here are some samples @ClassicVibes Recorded direct into an Ashdown Tone Pocket (set flat), then via USB into Audacity. No trickery on settings (that I am aware of at any rate). Gratuitous bass pic: P pup solo, EQ set as near to flat as I can get it by ear LE4 P only flat.wav J pup solo, EQ set as near to flat as I can get it by ear LE4 J only flat.wav Both pups at my preferred settings of c.30-35% bass, c.20-25% treble LE4 both AD B33 T25.wav Bass max, treble flat LE4 both max bass.wav Treble max, bass flat LE4 both max treble.wav Both pups on, EQ set as near to flat as I can get it by ear LE4 both flat.wav Treble at max is very 'squeaky' which is probably my less than perfect technique generating unwanted string noise. Sorry about that, several takes needed to get a least worst version

For sale is my Barefaced Big Baby T. Bought last year from a fellow BCer in the expectation of replacing my Super Compact that I use 99% of the time as a monitor and supplementing it for the odd gig we do without a PA for the bass. The Super Compact is also up for sale and I will keep whichever proves to be the less popular... By way of a comparison this is the same size as the orignal Compactand is is excellent overall condition, no major dings or dents that I can see. The cab has been gigged but you would be hard pressed to know that, great sounding full-range cab. Now withdrawn as my other Barefaced cab has been sold.

Great job. That's the rest of my day sorted -
I have just stumbled across these folk. Enjoying both their CDs atm.
