That reminds me - I need to change my import tax calc to 20% VAT. That means we're going to be paying a 30% premium on the shipped price (including a £15 handling charge). Thank you Mr Osborne [/quote] Tbh,i love these basses,was my first bass i could actually use,immaculatley owned y Jon here,id be happy at the end if it costs me about £300 even,there quite scarce on these shores and flogging it wouldnt be hard,ive seen 3 on ebay in 9mths,apart from mine bought here dont think many have changed hands on BC but sen a few posts looking for one.

Dougie's blue SR800LE already lived for about 10 years with a gorgeous red SR800FL fretless - I had high hopes of an interesting hybrid, but nothing. Jon.[/quote] Never realised this Jon,red sounds rather fetching too... ......These 800s finishes are the nicest colours ive seen on guitars,f***it im gonna sell the bike,it keeps snowing anyway,and buy sr800s in all colours available.only thing i hate about the blues shinyness is i get upset if any of the kids even look at it with the usual touchy look about them,wife thought id developed a fetish when she woke at 3am and witnessed my sitting in my y fronts polishing it wearing a pair of wooly gloves and because i had "flossed under the machine heads......il point out i had been drinking.

[quote name='dab' post='1160670' date='Mar 13 2011, 04:45 PM']hi all,im new to playing bass,and would like to know what the difference is between a fender p bass,and a fender squire p bass. dave[/quote] and a huge wedge of cash...im a newbie too and at my level would opt for a cheaper Squier,i think sometimes people want the original purely because its a real P bass so must sound better,my ears havnt honed to spot the difference as yet.

[quote name='hellothere' post='1157134' date='Mar 10 2011, 08:20 PM']Seriously paypal can take money directly from your bank account in the event someone wants a refund? I use a bank account that only has around 100 pound in at any one time, unless I'm buying something specific, and I don't have an agreed overdrat. So if they took a refund of say 1500 pound for a bass, when the money was not in the account I'd have to pay huge bank charges aswell I imagine. It's lucky I don't sell anything on ebay but I'm still shocked...[/quote] yup they can and will.as a new seller im in the catagory they can hold my dosh for 21 days etc....despite sending over 900 quid in over 30 deals and a score of 45 and 100% over just 2 months...i think this guy is tryin to shaft you btw....

[quote name='Mr. Foxen' post='1160288' date='Mar 13 2011, 10:52 AM']If it has a clear finish, you can do a fair bit with steaming out the dented part (if you have bare wood, wet tissue/cloth on it and put a soldering iron on briefly, so the steam pops the dented wood fibres out), that also cleans out the grub, then fill the hole with layers of superglue then polish down.[/quote] im gonna deliberatley dent my project"frank the fecker"to try this.....

[quote name='Ou7shined' post='1160274' date='Mar 13 2011, 10:40 AM']£48 from the States is pretty good. It's the import charges you have to watch out for.[/quote] quotes"Seller charges sales tax for items shipped to: (6.5%). "i usually avoid buying anything overseas too

he says 48 quid to UK.puzzled me too

[quote name='Ou7shined' post='1160261' date='Mar 13 2011, 10:29 AM']Yes. Tiny dings etc. can be sanded out then cleverly refinished. Chips or gouges need more work. Filler will hardly ever look good.[/quote] Totally agree....or a big CND sticker if you cant be arsed sanding.

[quote name='ras52' post='1160249' date='Mar 13 2011, 10:15 AM']Hm, are you hoping they'll mate? BTW, what's the shipping cost? I was looking at something yesterday with a quote of $150 - ough![/quote] guy reckons £48 quid,kinda shocked me too

[quote name='hellothere' post='1160107' date='Mar 13 2011, 03:40 AM']Can knocks and chips in the wood of a headstock be repaird or patcheed up on a unpainted headstock without it looking awful and if so how?[/quote] think it depends how bad the knock or chip is,if its unpainted my guess would be a near as poss match wood filler.

ive removed mine/refitted a few times no probs.have noticed the coating chipping on underneath string where frets hit.
