    Concur with most of this…still have a pretty rare ‘92 Kubicki era Modern Jazz v, which is nice, light and small bodied. I have an Elite J5 too as a preference over the Ultra. Only made for a couple of years, but upset Musicman with the truss rod wheel and the through bridge was stopped due to cost. They cut those two bits out, put the price up and named it the Ultra! I also have an Elite P which is wonderful to play, with a great neck, not too dissimilar to my ‘70 P, ‘B’ neck.

    Just received a Lehle Volume Pedal from Michael. Exactly as described, well packed, excellent communications and fast delivery, couldn’t ask for more! Highly recommend this Chatter. KC. (Fabbabass)

    Early 90’s, Phil Kubicki design when he worked for Fender, neck and electronics are excellent. Slightly scaled down body and light Jazz Bass. I have a 5 string or I’d be snapping at this and they are rare and wonderful bases. One of the earliest super jazzes. Very nice, good luck with the sale.

    I have the BB800 (amongst many other amps) and use various preamps with it; Bassics, Mesa +, Aguilar, Radial and it always delivers. Even the EQ is effective once you work out how it works and it really seems to slam in a way that so few Class D amps seem to when you turn them up. This new one seems to be a logical move towards market acceptance, but I don’t think I’d be ready to replace my made in USA unit just yet.

    I got my Wal in ‘84 and it was fitted with Pocato nickel rounds. They were lovely and didn’t chew up the frets too badly as stainless steel might. I’d look at trying some nickels if you want a more modern sound but flats may be sweet and different.

    I believe Picato as a business was bought by Americans. They took all the machines from Wales (I think that’s where they were based) and started up over there. The price of the strings doubled, especially the DB strings and I think they are still going. That all sounds a bit vague but they are still available in the US. I remember having nickel rounds on my Wal and I liked them a lot. i managed to get a couple of NOS packs from Gareth on this forum a few weeks ago.

    Received the three sets of strings from Gareth. Fast delivery and great comms. Thank you Sir. Kevin.

    I’ve had one I picked up at Sam Ashe in the US, hung my L2500 for years, no issues. Where are you getting it from in the UK? I’d get another.

    Fabulous and a bargain! Tame that Doghouse!

    How does body size compare to a standard Jazz?

    David, I’ll take two sets of nickel Schaller if you have them please…. Thank you and regards, Kevin.
