[quote name='Chris2112' timestamp='1352361250' post='1862055'] Asking for pictures? Common sense really. You wouldn't buy something you haven't seen. Even if they do have the item, if they're too lazy to take pictures of it they can get stuffed! [/quote] you wonder if they will be too lazy to post the thing too...

I never even knew these competitions existed until I saw the thread in the affiliates forum! Tempted to try and make some noise myself

[quote name='Grand Wazoo' timestamp='1352318603' post='1861658'] I was born genuine, I had an almost blind faith in humanity, but then I kept getting f*d over and over by people taking advantage of my genuinity, now I have split personality, half of me still trust the human kind, (hoping always that there is still a good level of honesty in every man) the other half of me trusts no one when it comes to money and business. The latter part of me gets never out of pocket in a deal whereas the first half keep getting f'd. Go figure! [/quote] you're a good man wazoo

depends who it is really. There are some folk on here I would buy things from sight unseen. And a lot I wouldn't. These days not being able to take a photo is unlikely.

I love t40 s, everytime I see this thread i wish i hadnt moved mine on. Mind you I remember the reasons I did. My main memory was how fun it was to play, and how many different sounds it had- ahhh

has the preamp got a gain mini knob on it?

[quote name='Rick's Fine '52' timestamp='1352155719' post='1859585'] Looks in great nick too?? Half a mile away?? Do I really need any more gear?, No, as tempting as it is. Great little set up for someone though. [/quote] He has an alembic. He wants a Jaydee Mark King and now he's being tempted by Trace elliot stuff..... What happened to the RIck we used to know?

not apart from [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]you total and utter spanner[/font][/color]

but it fails in even really showing the colours- like a set of photographs and a painted plank would be better/cheaper

ugly!

Just sold Mike my Bass Pod, a nice and friendly guy and put up with my wee delay posting through illness and postoffice computer crashes. a pleasure to chat too, enjoy the Pod!

I love the fact he has a guitar with a 4mm action at the first fret and his first thought is "must be the nut"!

[quote name='Ashwood1985' timestamp='1351727509' post='1854822'] Hi Lozz, Glad to see another happy owner. Once I have the frets in top order I'm gonna push some air with this thing man! Can't wait in the mean time I just avoid the high G# on the D string! lol [/quote] it's a p bass.... what you doing out of the first position???/

[quote name='ead' timestamp='1351671166' post='1853878'] My personal preference would be midnight wine with parchment p/g. It's far and away my favourite Fender scheme. Leaving now... [/quote] yeah I think if I go red that's the way to go! [quote name='mcnach' timestamp='1351680424' post='1854008'] orange, bright orange... a bright orange jazz... with rosewood fingerboard. yes... oh yes... [/quote] [quote name='uncle psychosis' timestamp='1351680857' post='1854018'] ^^ this man speaks the truth Capri orange looks amazing on Fender style basses. [/quote] actually not really thought of orange - it does look good din nit! [quote name='flyfisher' timestamp='1351691986' post='1854242'] Just pick your own favourite colour, not someone else's favourite colour. Simple. [/quote] depending what day I went into the shop would depend what colour I walked out with. And it's usefull - I'm going to thing about orange now too [quote name='Schnozzalee' timestamp='1351692316' post='1854247'] This ^^ although British Racing Green & Rosewood takes my fancy too - black/mint/black pickguard. [/quote] ooh I hadn't thought of a black pick guard - that could work! [quote name='CHRISDABASS' timestamp='1351693851' post='1854274'] The blue in the bottom right corner! [/quote] ? there isn't a blue in the bottom right of the post you quoted... ?

[quote name='Ashwood1985' timestamp='1351696750' post='1854332'] Cheers steve! That's the most serious P collection I believe I've ever come across my man! A man in love it would seem Btw do you have any idea how I could find out what re-issue 'year' this model is? It was just advertised as 50s and the guys in store couldn't tell me more. [/quote] it would have probably had a one ply white scratchplate and been a '57ri.

[quote name='silddx' timestamp='1351642611' post='1853788'] How are we supposed to do this? Second post down, first batch, fourth from the left? And there's no sunburst option. Or blue burst, or fire glow, or metallic .. Honestly, standards these days .. Cardinal Wolsey would never have posted that. [/quote] cardinal wolsey may have been more practiced in burst finishes that would make that a possibility

or there are more usual colours.... and less usual [url="http://www.plasti-kote.co.uk/LIVE_IMAGES/4330_jade(3).jpg"][/url]

Red - part of me has always wanted a red jazz bass. I think ideally with a maple neck. But on the negative- well red basses are a bit, you know... common. could always go for the dark aubergine colour! blue. Not sure I like blue guitars, Lake placid is nice but it's not a solid colour is it? ocean, rustic and Mediterranean blue are interesting colours and not normal fender colours.

So I've a project bass I'm currently stripping down and sanding a lump off basswood- and I looked at some nice nitro paint but figured that I didn't want to throw more money than I need at this project so instead looking at acrylic paints- mainly the plasti-kote range.... [url="http://www.plasti-kote.co.uk/Product/pcode---4181/pccode---6751"]http://www.plasti-ko...1/pccode---6751[/url] so what colour should I go for? ... current thoughts.... (oh btw, rosewood fretboard) Shell pink(ish)- originally it was going to be shell pink nitro. I'm not sure any of these colours go anywhere near this...positive- looks cool. Negative- it's pink! Sherwood green(ish)- Lawn green - I love the idea of an almost british racing green jazz, but gloss rather than the metallic/glitter finish that fender/sadowsky use. currently this is my favourite idea.

[quote name='Pete1967' timestamp='1351612058' post='1853251'] Good advice IME... if you want to use a clear coat on top to get that really shiny finish use the matt finish paint. It'll save you a tiny bit of work - depending on how sh*t hot with a spray can you are You could always get down to you local flyover at 2am with your hoodie on and get some practise in [/quote] that's what I was going to ask - can i stick matt/satin colours under a clear coat - or would you just use a gloss colour and no clear coat?

[quote name='noelk27' timestamp='1351635701' post='1853647'] Should click on the link being quoted - thought you were talking about the APII Cardinal. [/quote] i was wondering
