    Long-standing regular gig last night in Wimbledon. The ne Drummer offered to help take the PA so popped round mine first. I told him it was in the garage and he loaded the monitors and mixing desk in his car. 90 minutes later we arrive and set up. unfortunately the Drummer has brought my camping table rather than the mixer! Martin the landlord is unflappable and phones a mate who arrives with a spare desk in less than 5 minutes. The gig went really well and the Drummer is now referred to as Baden Powell

    [quote name='ahpook' post='1160506' date='Mar 13 2011, 02:40 PM'] thanks for the advice about sorting the issues out...i think you folks may be right. i was hoping the (what i consider to be) low price would tempt people, but it seems not. time to take it down to the bass gallery i reckon.[/quote] Or sell it to me for £200

    [quote name='warwickhunt' post='1160471' date='Mar 13 2011, 01:57 PM']As an outsider I'd have to say that NOT getting the problems fixed and getting it set-up (mentioning that it needs a set-up indicates that 'something' needs to be done), could well hamper your sale at any price! I've no idea if £250 is a good or bad price for one these days (I had one when they first cane out and recall that £250 was about the going rate back then), but if the fixes are as cheap and easy as you say then getting them done could justify a couple of quid added onto your present sale price... otherwise potential buyers could be stroking their chin thinking; '£250 plus cost of new electrics, possibly inc pups, PLUS the cost of a set-up... could get expensive'! However, £275 for a fully sorted bass with no issues could be attractive. As I say I'm just playing 'Devil's Advocate' and looking at this as a neutral outsider; fear of the unknown is a sure way of folks keeping money in their wallets especially when times are hard. [/quote] Totally agree. Ive been looking at this thinking "if it was £50-60 cheaper I'd snap it up". I'd even brave Tottenham too

    Nice trio Gary. You did a grand job on the 57 P bass.

    I've got a couple of new ones you can have. PM me your details. Postage might be heavy though

    Is it not one of those Mex or Korean Fender 24 fret Jazzes? It looks kosher to me.

    WD Music have a good selection

    For sale is a genuine US Fender Tortoise shell pickguard for a Jazz bass. It's in very good condition (a few scuff marks) but other than this is perfect. Yours for £25 inc P&P.

    My Black US P Bass. Not going anywhere
  13. Old Horse Murphy
    I think you've gone about it in exactly the right way. I don't think your buyer could expect you to be any more diligent than you have been
  14. Old Horse Murphy
    It's a gorgeous bass. Very light, sounds superb and is even more beautiful in the flesh Al is a great guy to deal with too.

    And sold to the man on the Moon

    For sale is a set of La Bella Deep Talkin Flats light gauge (43-104) that have been Fitted to my Fender Jazz for no more than an hour. Unfortunately I'm a convert to TI's so these are surplus to requirements! They are as good as new and been used once. Yours for £25 Inc P&P

    Bump for reduced price

    Just bought a US Fender Jazz from Al that used to belong to me. Fantastically easy deal and a seriously great bass which is now back in my mitts Thanks Al

    Same here Wayne. My new (old) Fender US Jazz I bought from Alhbass has just arrived here at work. It's still boxed and bubblewrapped and I am currently staring at it longingly and waiting until I can get home and give it a blast

    For sale is a genuine new series Fender USA high mass bridge in chrome which is suitable for thru-body and front-loading stringing. It is secured with 3 screws including the 51/ Sting reissue. I bough this recently but no longer require it for a project. It's immaculate and a vast improvement on the old BBOT Yours for £45 inc P&P

    Wish someone would buy my Sting bass

    Just bought a Fender bridge from Gary. The deal couldn't have been smoother and the bridge arrived exactly on time as promised. Highly recommended.

    [quote name='andy67' post='1137050' date='Feb 22 2011, 01:16 PM']Hi OHM, Did you get this from Thornybank? andy[/quote] Hi Andy No, the other one I have is from Thornybank! I got this one as part of a trade/cash deal. The Thornybank bass is a keeper and now has a new style Fender bridge on it

    [quote name='voxpop' post='1136904' date='Feb 22 2011, 11:33 AM']I have played this bass and it has great tone and a fanatstic neck. Have a recommended bump on me.[/quote] Thanks Marc. It's certainly a different beast compared to your stunning Smith
