silverfoxnik Posted May 4, 2009 Posted May 4, 2009 Great rig and some very nice basses, but in particular, I really like the look of that JV P-bass!! Quote
KERMITNT Posted May 5, 2009 Posted May 5, 2009 i think you love maple fretboard as i do and we use the same bass +B string think of change it to white pickguard and pickup is awsome:P Quote
Higgie Posted May 5, 2009 Author Posted May 5, 2009 Zak - Thanks, it sounds epic too! I love this rig! Silverfoxnik - Thanks alot, the P Bass is lovely. I picked it up on here a few months ago. It was an ABSOLUTE bargain. It was on here for a little while, and no one had picked it up yet so I couldn't believe my luck! I think people were put off by the fact it didn't have the original pickup. But put it this way - My dad has a JV P also, and he swapped his original pickup out for a Dimarzio after using my one for a couple of gigs!! Manos - That is a gorgeous bass. I'd love to have one like that to match my 4!! Want to trade? You can keep your white pickup and pickguard - They look great but I'd prefer the pickguard and pickup from my 5 on the orange!! Thanks for all the comments guys Quote
Higgie Posted August 23, 2009 Author Posted August 23, 2009 The fretless is a 1989 - It's in absolutely mint condition, and from the serial number I have deduced it was put together just a couple of months before I was born! It's nice to finally own a bass that's the same age as me Quote
bozzbass Posted August 23, 2009 Posted August 23, 2009 what is the pedal to the right of the mutron in the first pic? Quote
Higgie Posted August 23, 2009 Author Posted August 23, 2009 That was a Russian Big Muff that was modified by our very own Toasted. Quote
ped Posted August 23, 2009 Posted August 23, 2009 Hey mate sorry I missed you on MSN the other day - love the look of the fretless... let us know how you get on with it. Love the transparent 'guard. Quote
Higgie Posted August 23, 2009 Author Posted August 23, 2009 No worries Ped - I'm getting on ok, although it's definitely a lot harder than I thought it would be without the lines! Quote

Higgie Posted September 12, 2009 Author Posted September 12, 2009 (edited) Haha, I'm sure you'll get one eventually...My Dad had a 78 Stingray and it was GORGEOUS!! In other news, I went to pick this bad boy up today: It is facking LOVERLY Not sure on many of the details about this bass, but the seller tells me it's a 1994 CIJ '72 Re-Issue - Does anyone else own something similar and can comment on it?

steve-soar Posted September 12, 2009 Posted September 12, 2009 Lucky sod, very nice gear you have. Quote
Higgie Posted September 13, 2009 Author Posted September 13, 2009 Thank you Steve - I believe I am VERY lucky to have the gear that I have, my Dad (who is also a bass player) always says what a git I am for finding all these lovely guitars, when he can't find just one lol He's tried to steal my Precision off me numerous times Quote
MythSte Posted September 13, 2009 Posted September 13, 2009 Beautiful stuff you've got there! I only wish that Aguilar had made the width of the AG500 the same as the DB112's. But im really splitting hairs there! Whats the story behind the precision? Quote
Higgie Posted September 13, 2009 Author Posted September 13, 2009 (edited) Thanks mate! I agree about the AG500 width, but as you say it's not exactly a deal breaker. The Precision is a Fender Squier JV Precision. I believe it is a '57 re-issue model due to the 2 tone sunburst. It's a 1982 model, and it's serial number dates it to within the first 6 months of production. At some point the original pickup was replaced with a DiMarzio Model P. I don't have the original, and even if I did I wouldn't put it back in, this bass sounds absolutely gorgeous as it is! The best part about it was the price as it's not all original so I got it for a bargain! Edited September 13, 2009 by Higgie Quote
bassatnight Posted September 13, 2009 Posted September 13, 2009 Great gear, when did you win the lottery!? ;-) Quote
Higgie Posted September 13, 2009 Author Posted September 13, 2009 Lol I wish! Hard work and the FS section on this site = win Quote
OutToPlayJazz Posted September 13, 2009 Posted September 13, 2009 Hey James, looking forward to trying out some of your gear next weekend when I come down to see your Dad. Anything you'd like me to bring for you to try? Rich. Quote
Higgie Posted September 13, 2009 Author Posted September 13, 2009 Yeah should be a good day mate! My dad and I would love to try that Jazz with the Sadowsky pre, if you wouldnt mind bringing it along! Cheers mate, looking forward to it! Quote

Higgie Posted September 15, 2009 Author Posted September 15, 2009 (edited) Unfortunately that spot is reserved by my Dad...But he won't get it either That bass is staying with me for a loooong time... Edited September 15, 2009 by Higgie Quote
longtimefred Posted September 23, 2009 Posted September 23, 2009 Higgie - how are you finding the Nordstrand p'ups in the Ray5? I got an 89 one and been thinking for a while about getting one but never heard what they are like? they worth shelling out for? what is the difference to the standard one? Cheers mate Quote
