    good stuff. i drilled into it and drilled the screwhead off, which let me take the strap button off and then unscrewed the rest of the screw with a pair of plyers. bloody hell they get hot when you've been drilling them!

    it does indeed, see the pics. Stingray not included. like i said, i kinda can't be @rsed to post it although G-Bitch is posting me some of his freebie stuff so I ought to pay it forward or whatever it's called - so providing I can get a box big enough, I'll stick it in the post - alternatively, if I can get a box big enough, and you're happy to book a parcelfarce or interparcel or some such to collect from me at home or at work, then that is also fine by me (but can we cross that bridge when i've got a box etc...?)

    i'll just go and check!

    Forgot to say, spoke to JayDee last week who said that the tiny lacquer chip at the neck pocket would be repairable for £35. Jolly good. If it sells, I'd like it to go to someone on here so then I stand a chance of buying it back again at some point in the future!

    Reduced a bit.... This has to go now to make way for other things. I'll entertain offers around the £400 mark - which I don't think is unreasonable considering the price includes a near mint Hiscox case (with keys and that fancy handle). No trades on this, looking for a cash sale. Anyway, some new pics attached and some high resolutions ones [url="http://www.flickr.com/photos/johna_le3/sets/72157594525857805/"]here[/url]

    [quote name='The Burpster' post='42374' date='Aug 7 2007, 11:09 AM']Do you have a drill? If you do if you carefully drill into the hole that the screw head now has in it and the drill is as large or larger than the shank of the screw, as soon as the drill bit gets to the shank the rest of the head will fall off. Grab whats left of the shankl with a pair of pliers and twist it out...... Enjoy....[/quote] cheers for that. I shall have a bash and hopefully, not knacker it up!!!

    Morning folks I am selling off a bit of mine and my guitarist's gear at the minute and have just sold his dreaful Jedson tele copy. He's left handed so converted it to left hand drive, I've put it back together for normal people but need to take the strap button out of the bottom horn and put it back onto the top horn. The only problem is somebody has damaged the screwhead and I can't get a screwdriver onto it to take it out. I am not endowed with tools or skills so if you have any suggestions. I'd chuck the thing on the fire personally, but unfortunately I have committed to selling it for him so I can buy him some proper left handed guitars

    [quote name='Rhys' post='42354' date='Aug 7 2007, 10:33 AM']Sure you won't post it?[/quote] I will yeah, but i reckon it'll be about 15 quid and to be honest, I doubt the case itself is actually worth that It's really tatty
  11. john_the_bass
    Any takers? Happy to post it or meet up JA

    I only bought this last week, sadly it was ever so slightly mis timed and it turns out I can't afford it this month. In good nick overall, one or two blems - nothing major and includes near mint Gibson hardcase. Email me for pics, looking for what I paid for it - £570 or near offer. No trades as I have to find the money again now! You'll find it on ebay if you look along with my amp and a couple of lefties I'm selling on behalf of my guitarist. Also still thinking of selling my Jap Precision if anybody is interested. I've had a brief correspondence with John Diggins about repairing the chip, but that's another story. JA

    mouth says, "that bongo looks bigger than that stingray" brain says, "it's on a stand stupid" V nice, particularly the colour of the ray

    i've got a hardcase which i got with my MIM jazz bass. It's really really really really tatty - the tolex is coming off the edges, a couple of corners are a bit bent and there is a 1/2cm gap at one of the extemities, but the catches and hinges work and it's solid - no breaks. It's an old wooden jobbie that i donated to my guitar player but he's donated back as i am clearing out some of his crap guitar stocks. If anybody wants it, it's yours but you have to come and pick it up from loughborough or leicester or you could meet me in sheffield tomorrow only (4th august) but i don't know what time to be honest. Any takers? I really can't be bothered to post it as i'd have to source a box big enough and it'll go down the recycling centre if nobody wants it.

    think there are a few combos that have them don't ampeg make a combo with a built in tuner?
  16. john_the_bass
    i always always always play all the right notes. Just that I don't always play them in the right order.
  17. john_the_bass
    the responses to his questions are excellent also
  18. john_the_bass
    might as well.....

    [quote name='G-bitch' post='40493' date='Aug 2 2007, 03:49 PM']Marshal guitar amps are gold; you may wish to re-consider that statement [/quote] i've got a [i]really[/i] nice JTM612 - it does actually sound excellent and articulate. it's just coincidence it's up for sale!
  20. john_the_bass

    auction runs til saturday pm, will pull it up til tomorrow night for the right offer. Cheers
  22. john_the_bass
    does it fold in half when it's not being used? How much if I come and pick it up (providing you haven't sold it)?
  23. john_the_bass
    VAT question - if you're VAT registered does that mean that you don't have to pay VAT on imports (but still the import duty)?

    Selling a Marshall JTM 60 112 combo valve amp. 60 watt class AB with 4 12AX7 or ECC83 or whatever they're called for the preamp and 2 EL34s. Sounds mint - really nice sounding amp. Quite rare too apparently, made from 1995 to 1997 and in good nick (one or two small nicks in the vinyl) - all the knobs are present and correct and comes with the footswitch. On ebay [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=017&sspagename=STRK%3AMESE%3AIT&viewitem=&item=270149640271&rd=1&rd=1"]here[/url] but will pull it for sensible basschatter offers. No idea what to ask for it really - I had a similar 3 Channel Peavey 112 which I sold last year for about £270. I think this is a bit better to be honest so would probably entertain offers around the £350 mark (which is probably somewhere around where I expect it to end on fleabay). Again, will consider swaps or p/ex towards a good Les Paul Studio or an SG Standard. Pics on the ebay linky
