Nice Fender Jazz, that's what you need.

A quick head up for Parcelfarce. Plenty of people have had problems, but I personally have sent loads of basses straight from the post office via Parcelforce 48 and never had an issue, usually delivered next day, and so far, touch wood, perfectly intact basses every time. Usually around 20 quid though.

[quote name='Crazykiwi' post='622241' date='Oct 10 2009, 08:28 AM']In terms of sound its much of a muchness. I've heard anonymous samples of a Bacchus with Nordies and an Avella and been hard pressed to tell which was better quality. My own personal view is that it probably comes down to feel and playability more than anything.[/quote] Exactly right. I've heard (and played) some real top end stuff, on paper, but many of those basses were soulless. It doesn't have to be expensive to hit the spot. I've played some low/mid priced basses and totally loved them. One of the nicest, grooooviest basses I've had my hands on in recent years was a Schecter Model T, should've kept that one.

Yeah funky baby...love that bass too, what is it ESP? That's my favourite colour, I loved my Lake Placid Blue Lakland DJ4. I can only dream of playing a fraction as well as that, I wish I could groove like that I really do, that's awesome playing.

Why do I keep going back to the red Precision? I really fancied that when you had it up for sale, I get serious vibes from it.

Nice. I reckon that custom Jazz just needs some TLC to make it great. I can't recommend the H1 Jazz highly enough, mine was a real cracker.

Yeah, Mono are nice too.

Welcome along, this is a great place to be. Can't say the same about Manchester though.

[quote name='Clarky' post='620043' date='Oct 7 2009, 10:23 PM']Phew! In my opinion, nicer (even) than your 1965 Precision as it looks like it has been played and enjoyed. You have one hell of a bass collection![/quote] Took the words out of my mouth. Jaw dropping stuff.

Why do all the good gigs have to be in London. It's grim oop north tha nos.

Groovy baby.

Both my basses are in Ritter bags, I swear by them. The cheaper ones are decent bags, but the top of the range ones (can't remember the code number) are brillant. I think my best one was about £90 at the time.

Another point I'd make is that during many [i]MANY[/i] deals and transactions I've been involved in on Basschat, I have never, not once, had a problem. The vast majority of people here are the salt of the earth, even if we do disagree on music etc, we're all good people and here for the right reasons, to talk about bass guitars, and buy and sell to and from like minded people. Basschat is a great place to be, and a valuable resource for all of us, but just remember there are one or two bad eggs in all walks of life, and here's no different, just be vigilant when sending valuable gear or cash around the country. Again, for what it's worth, I don't believe Jamie is a bad agg, I think he's backed himself into a corner and got into a mess, but hopefully it's soon to be sorted. Live and let live, it takes a big man to forgive a small man's faults.

I also believe in response to this, that Jamie, once payment has been made, should be given the benefit of the doubt and left alone. He's obviously got himself into a mess and is proposing to do the right thing. Let's hope that happens, and forget the whole nasty incident. Just remember folks, be very careful buying and selling to people you don't know. Check feedback and ask lots of questions. Hopefully a happy ending.

Awesome.

[quote name='sixshooter' post='619796' date='Oct 7 2009, 05:32 PM']Is it worth talking to the police again, if this guy is advertising the bass for sale surely he is now trying to sell stolen goods which is a criminal matter rather than a civil matter? You have proof that a contract was made. Just a thought[/quote] Trouble is the goods aren't stolen in the eyes of the police. They can't do anything.
