    [quote name='charic' timestamp='1355744974' post='1902003'] Convince him that his own project would have much better prospects, I mean... your JUST a cover band after all [/quote] * you're !

    I don't get it. Like I like playing football but I don't turn up at Alex Ferguson's office and suggest I could add something extra to the United forward line do I? Why does the cock think a band is any different. Though I bet his guitars cost more than both your guitarist's rigs. Always the way

    [quote name='jonthebass' timestamp='1355696485' post='1901593'] This. Especially Bravewood Guitars for me. [/quote] to give him his due at least he makes his stuff. Nash I don't get

    [quote name='2elliot' timestamp='1355697535' post='1901620'] I tried a Sandberg California yesterday. It reminded me of a 5 string Trace Elliot T Bass I once owned. Beautifully built, awful to play... 30 seconds later and it was back on the stand. I was gutted, it looked fantastic. On the up side my GAS is cured. [/quote] when I first started playing I had a thing for a t bass on a local shop, never had the balls to try it. What are they like?

    would I be alone in thinking if you were in glasgow with the money and messaged the seller you might be able to get that? Those amps are supposed to be good - never heard one though. One of the few wee things that make me look at my rig and wonder

    really surprised this is still about!

    [quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1355656082' post='1900920'] It also says on that receipt that it's a '51 Re-Issue rather than a '54. The bit I love is the carefully photographed pots & wiring, so that you can see that they're the original '51 Re-Issue pots and the original '51 Re-Issue solder is still in place. I really should check that the pot-codes authenticate back to a genuine '51 Re-Issue. You can't be too careful when buying high-value vintage basses, you know. [/quote] if you're selling a japanese fender for over £800 then these little touches help you know!

    A while back I had a my acoustic up for trade. I also mentioned that for a very special bass I could add my electric to a trade. I got two messages in the space of 5 min. One offered me a tiwanese Yamaha BB for... both guitars and £50 One offered me a japanese Yamaha BB, a Squier japan Jazz and a bass pod thing - for my acousitic. I had to think quite hard to come up with a polite response to the first one!

    In another note... while seeing blond versions of the same thing on ebay for about £300 I also saw this.... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LEARN-TO-PLAY-THE-BASS-GUITAR-ON-DVD-18-/280968045081?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item416b002219 does the (18) mean it's for over 18's only? what on earth is he doing with his bass? sorry off topic
  12. LukeFRC
    Hmm... so next time you go to sell a bass.... invest in a nice SLR! Nice photos, well written text, you would trust the seller.... and maybe people want to be like sting? I dunno!

    [quote name='JPJ' timestamp='1355533989' post='1899798'] They are better than nice mate. This is a close cousin of mine (mines tulip wood body & rosewood 'board, Dimarzio Ultras) so a little more '60s jazz than I'd imagine this is especially as mine has the stock J-Retro with the inbuilt eq curve. But in terms of playability and build quality, you have to go a long long way to better an Overwater imho [/quote] yeah - the overwater jazzes seem to be really highly desired - this is one of the nicer ones I've seen (too many with too much custom option bling)

    [quote name='Rick's Fine '52' timestamp='1355530463' post='1899779'] Does this count? Always wanted one to match my '58 P, love it, they're actually much smaller than I thought, cute little tweed case too; [/quote] there's a saying about showing off when you're under endowed.... (PS rick this isn't a PM )

    [quote name='Kev' timestamp='1355527561' post='1899744'] Good choice of new bass! Hope you find a good one ps fancy selling your SS1 yet? [/quote] Hi man I've found a good one, from 1987! Just need someone to buy this first - so far - little interest and in a short answer..... no

    [quote name='Rick's Fine '52' timestamp='1355525586' post='1899729'] Good things come to those who wait!! I have two weeks off at xmas, starting next Thursday, so will have a look then, I still need to locate a good picture of what wires go where, it's been a while! Been playing it unplugged today, it's awesome! [/quote] It's a P bass! It's got one pickup with too two wires - ground to the body of the volume, then the live to the centre lug of the pot. Simple! My guess the vol and tone are already connected?
  17. LukeFRC
    how have you not soldered it together yet? I no way have that patience! I wee build I'm doing the only way I knew that I would let the finsih cure for long enough was leaving it a week before ordering the parts!
  18. LukeFRC
    that looks nice

    [quote name='flyfisher' timestamp='1355496838' post='1899247'] I'm surprised this topic is still limping along. Surely there's nothing more to say after this: [/quote] mate theres another thread that was about pricing of secondhand stuff, stingrays and warwicks in particular and it's still limping along full of people saying things like "I like stingrays" I like stingray's too" "i think they are very good" "I like their necks" etc etc some threads will go on an infinitium until someone gets compared to a Nazi

    [quote name='funkyspuke' timestamp='1355490296' post='1899086'] it is a bargain .. thinking about it now but, I wan't my LMIII [/quote] wan't ?? is that bradford dialect?
  22. LukeFRC
    Woah, keep calm. I think the thing is that its a good price but not so good you would take a risk without seeing it, warwickhunt has sold me a ss1 for less in the past and he had his advert up for about 8 montha before I found the money. Considering the scratch/crack is just behind the nut (ie one end of the truss, and in a similar place i hope you understand folks hesitancy. I dunno about other folk but coventry is over 100 miles away from me and not a cheap trip. you stuck an ad up and got 10 responces, that's ten more than. Ive got for a bass with no issues!

    [quote name='mckendrick' timestamp='1355454389' post='1898665'] I've just broke me underpants. [/quote] that could be understood in many different ways!

    [color=#008000][b][font=verdana, geneva, sans-serif]Is it time for another bump? [/font][/b][/color] [font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]Just about[/font] [b][color=#008000][font=verdana, geneva, sans-serif]Have I been snowed under with offers and people clamouring to get this bass.... [/font][/color][/b] [font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]No.[/font] [b][color=#008000][font=verdana, geneva, sans-serif]Is is a fair bit rarer and about 25% less than the 1982 US P bass folk were talking about in the bass forum. [/font][/color][/b] [font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]Probably. [/font] [quote name='Rick's Fine '52' timestamp='1355355226' post='1897454'] Nice haul!! [/quote] I know, Would have been nice to see in real life. [quote name='pierreganseman' timestamp='1355361286' post='1897502'] best ad i've seen on here [/quote] thanks [quote name='Hutton' timestamp='1355391561' post='1897618'] A truly beautiful example of a JV. All the best with the sale Luke! [/quote] thanks again!

    [quote name='Horizontalste' timestamp='1355406188' post='1897962'] I wonder how they age? I've got a Jazz that I finished in Nitro a while back and its already starting to check & look aged. Just need the hardware to catch up. Your right about the price though, I used two clear and one colour & £15 a go plus primer. Ouch! [/quote] yeah I'm wondering the same! I guess I'll find out!
