    ...instead of his six-string Shergold Marathon bass.

    [quote name='Lw.' timestamp='1448979802' post='2919750'] You could just buy a P neck & put it on your jazz - I'm thinking of doing this at the moment because when I flick back to the jazz from my (chunky-necked) Warwick it's just too thin for comfort. [/quote] I feel the same... I love the look and sound of Jazz basses but just don't get on with the necks. I think some kind of bitsa may be in the offing.

    [quote name='hubrad' timestamp='1448979096' post='2919741'] If you can track one down, the Aria STB-JB is just such a thing. [/quote] https://www.righttrackmusicshop.co.uk/aria-stb-jb-bass-guitar.html

    The Mark Hoppus bass is a Jazz body with a P neck... however it's got a P pickup too, so...

    [quote name='mcnach' timestamp='1448978945' post='2919736'] of course you'd catch that one!!! [/quote] [quote name='mcnach' timestamp='1448970415' post='2919631'] I have a pair I can bring along if interested. [/quote] It's the gift that keeps on giving!

    [quote name='mcnach' timestamp='1448970415' post='2919631'] I was wondering whether there's anybody reasonably near Edinburgh who has a pair and would be interested in getting together... [/quote] I apologise in advance, but just couldn't resist.

    [quote name='Skol303' timestamp='1448969428' post='2919623'] ...a reminder that we're all just sat on a big rock hurtling through space... [/quote] Actually it's more like an infinitesimal speck of dust, but I take your point. Great pic. I may actually have a go at this.

    Bought a set of Prosteels from Lozz (where IS he getting all these strings from??) and it was the usual super-quick delivery, excellent comms and the kind of deal we've come to expect from one of BassChat's finest. Thanks, mate!

    [quote name='Shonks' timestamp='1448902891' post='2919046'] i just got hold of a 60's fender bridge with the grooved saddles, I think I'll install it on this bass, it's gonna look even more authentic. [/quote] Er... if you mean the threaded saddle type, then it won't - 70s Ps had single groove saddles. Interesting-looking bass, though.

    [quote name='Tibz' timestamp='1448832292' post='2918529']Plus, it's always good to network with other bassists [/quote] You'd think so, wouldn't you?? Welcome to the forum.

    Yes, I changed my mind again - GAS is a fickle mistress! Here are a few more pics - phone pics I'm afraid, but hey.

    [size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][b]SOLD: Schroeder 21012L 1000W @ 4ohms[/b][/font][/size][list] [*]2 X 10" Neo Drivers [*]1 X 12" Neo Driver mounted on angled baffle [*]200W Tweeter/Horn with adjustable Attenuator [*]1 X Speakon and 1 X 6.3mm Jack Inputs [*]1000W RMS @ 4ohms [*]35Hz -18kHz [*]49lb (22kg) [*]23.5 X 23.5 X 16" (60 X 60 X 40 cm) [/list] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]One of Jorg Schroeder's [/font][/color][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]earlier 21012Ls[/font][/color][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]. If you're reading this you probably already know what you're looking at. The cab is in excellent working condition and very good cosmetic order. It's loaded with two front-facing 10" neo drivers, one 12" neo driver on an angled baffle and has a 200W horn with adjustable attenuator. It's small and light and handles 1000W @ 4ohms - in my opinion it is the ultimate one-cab solution. It will take a LOT of power and you WILL be heard. With the right amp this cab will fill ANY sized room with bass. Comes with fitted pro castors and a padded Roqsolid cover. Easily fits in the boot or back seat of your car.[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]The 21012L[/font][/color][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif] doesn't have the infamous Schroeder low-mid hump like some of Jorg's smaller cabs, and is capable of producing genuinely huge pillow-like low-end heft if required. It is quite conventional and even in its delivery - it[/font][/color][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif] has the ability to transmit the sound of your bass in a very musical way - this is not a hi-fi cab; it is not a transparent cab, and it [/font][/color][i]will[/i][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif] colour your sound - but If you happen to like that sound - and a lot of people do - there is [i]nothing [/i]to touch it.[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Selling as I've acquired a Schroeder 1212L, a smaller, lighter 800W 4ohm cab more suited to my needs. The two cabs together provide 1800W RMS of cabbage, but I can't think of a situation where I'd need to use them together. Collection from Forest Hill/Sydenham close to the A205 South Circular in SE London, or I may be persuaded to pack it for posting if you organise and pay for your own courier.[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I thank you!

    [quote name='Bilbo' timestamp='1448819529' post='2918376'] I got my second royalty cheque for the book this week. My 7 year effort has so far earned me about £350! [/quote] Well done sir, you have earned more than I have over the last 7 years.

    [quote name='EssentialTension' timestamp='1448819522' post='2918375'] Have you been squinting and taking some drugs? [/quote] I usually take the drugs first and THEN squint, but essentially yes.

    Wow. Having heard a G3 Compact recently I can have a good guess at how that rig must sound. However, my OCD wouldn't allow two different cab widths in my rig!

    [quote name='mr zed' timestamp='1448754415' post='2917964'] The Sire V7 gets great reviews on here and is around £300 new from Thomann. That's what I'd be looking at. [/quote] Good suggestion... I'd forgotten about these even though I had one and reviewed it. http://basschat.co.uk/topic/258828-nbd-sire-marcus-miller-v7-alder-4-awh-audio

    [quote name='chickenjames' timestamp='1448752915' post='2917954'] I suppose my ideal would be a very tired US Jazz, sunburst, with block inlays for £300 but I am well aware that this can't be done! [/quote] How about a Squier VM Jazz..? [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/fender_squier_vint_mod_jazz_3csb.htm"]http://www.thomann.d...d_jazz_3csb.htm[/url] Or maybe this one if you really want the blocks...

    Sold an amp to Paul, super-quick payment and excellent comms. No problems whatsoever - Paul is one of the good ones and I would recommend him with no hesitation. He's got a Skoda Yeti, so that says it all really.

    Not really worth it as you can get a kayak paddle for £15.

    [quote name='MoonBassAlpha' timestamp='1448631055' post='2916978'] Aren't some Goodfellow (GB) basses vaguely based on a tidy bum shape at the, er, bottom end? [/quote] Fundamentally.

    [quote name='Beer of the Bass' timestamp='1448625582' post='2916927'] Vintage in particular look like they've actually had a musician somewhere near the design process.... [/quote] +1 The Vintage P bass is very playable and sounds good regardless of price.
