    I seem to be kinda temporally bassless and it's a really odd feeling. I don't have a car and used the P bass at church in a hard case, I wanted to cycle home to catch the grand prix so left it in a cupboard there. The warwick is sat there without a preamp currently. It's probably waiting for a ACG preamp to go in, except I have to wait till they are on sale- and I need to have the money- which I set aside but just spent on a diamond ring for someone. So at the moment I am sans bass (that makes noise) And it's odd, I miss it. I kinda didn't touch one for a month or so as I ran around finishing of my degree course- and now I have more time, and the house is empty.... I do have a nice acoustic, and the awesome electric 6 string guitars, but tbh they just sit there being unplayed and I look on the sale forum on here and wonder why I have two guitars at all! Any one else feel lonely and sans bass?

    [quote name='Lfalex v1.1' timestamp='1337198060' post='1657115'] Looking at your signature, you've got more fx than me.... For I have none. I still can't even find a suitable OD. The Ampeg SVP-Pro sounds nice, but the OD isn't switchable. And it softens the bass end of things too much, Why does no-one make a tap-tempo chorus? Surely that'd get rid of the nasty out-of-time wobbles. [/quote] tried the caitlinbread sft?

    [quote name='CPBassman' timestamp='1337202070' post='1657184'] John always seems to have the basses that are just that little bit out of the norm yet incredibly desirable. ive been floored by both his current offerings. Have a bump just for the 'porn' value. This Parker is possibly the nicest bass ive seen in many moons! Col [/quote] If it helps John is a gentleman and great to buy/sell with. I think you should buy it

    power the PUPs of the same battery. Hot, and ground into pre as you say. One thing to look out for is that the active pups will probably need a 25k blend pot rather than the 250k or 500k that passive pups use

    oh wow, a sad story. Good luck with the sale. BTW if it were mine I wouldn't mind the join mark

    When you say trousers... you mean waterproof? I have a spare set of good ones, 31 inch waist. Obviously not North Face but good. PM me if interested. Otherwise charity shop!

    [quote name='warwickhunt' timestamp='1337120336' post='1655965'] TBH Col I wouldn't! I'm not trying to be ar5ey about it but if I put a price on and I make it realistic it's likely that others may well come along and value their basses in cloud cuckoo land (this isn't directed at you but I've been offered a used bass that's absolute maximum price 'NEW' is about the expectation of what I'd say a used USA Spector is... a fair swap?). It's up to the individual to decide what their bass is worth in relation to what they feel my bass is worth; if someone contacts me and gives me their offer then I'll look at what I feel their/my bass is worth and decide if it is realistic. I would say that if anyone where interested then it'd be worth looking at what Euro Spectors have sold for or have been valued at and then adjust upwards for the fact that this is the full blown USA version. A new Sadowsky Metro may be £1800 new and £1200 used but it doesn't equate to a £3000 USA Spector being worth £2000 used. However, there has to be a happy medium somewhere. Saying all of that I love your P bass! [/quote] well put.

    [quote name='Ou7shined' timestamp='1337078464' post='1654915'] Fair point (although I'm not sure I'd like to pull on someone else's old comfy trainers) I have tough man-skin on my hands which is unable to tell the difference between the types of finish used. [/quote] ach well, as long as you don't start doing anything that might mean finishing basses or guitars....

    oh well it gave you a bump if nothing else

    [quote name='Chris2112' timestamp='1337063103' post='1654642'] I would be open to any trade offers though, I'd give consideration to any item. [/quote] one acoustic guitar, two mathesons smoked sausages (you can choose the type), two old books, one limited edition Kiss LP, two dozen free range scottish eggs from happy chickens and an almost full spool of waxed thread.

    [quote name='deaver' timestamp='1336904532' post='1652465'] It's 1986 in Perth, in 12 years time your bass will be built. Wish I had the cash for this one right now. [/quote] really? are they still getting shafted by a tory government? so different to the rest of the UK

    [quote name='Rick's Fine '52' timestamp='1336863637' post='1652181'] Isn't that an early Squier-series model?? [/quote] no, it's a Squier by Fender era one. The Squier Series ones didn't have....... ok I'll shut up you know what, I'm off to church to play bass, ill play this one, and to avoid argument I won't tell anyone what I'm playing....
  17. LukeFRC
    that is a good price
  18. LukeFRC
    stunning.
  19. LukeFRC
    You know it does start me thinking how long I will hold onto mine for.
  20. LukeFRC
    tis okay

    [quote name='Gust0o' timestamp='1336829925' post='1651659'] The original pic you posted looks lovely. [/quote] it was nice. Bit polite, and very high string tension for some reason. Also photography courses at uni helped

    [quote name='visog' timestamp='1336825514' post='1651595'] Same model and colour scheme - lovely tobacco sunburst but definitely not yours! I've had mine from new. They're a great bass as you'll know. Nice flat fingerboard. Not much tonal variation, even from the actives but what it does, it does well. visog [/quote] so they made two. Yeah, I had it and couldn't help feeling that in a small band it would be quite nice. warm and a bit polite I found it. My guess is if you stuck the same pickups on a graphite bass they would give it a bit of warmth, on a wood bass it gets very warm and gentle.

    also if it's all down to the brand on the headstock.... like you say.... isn't Fender also now a brand. So really squiers aren't fenders. they are just guitars that carry two brands both owned by FMIC. Is a squier a FMIC instrument. yes. Is it a Fender. No, because FMIC use that brand elsewhere in the range. DOes it use the fender brand to lend itself credibility? yes.

    [quote name='Musky' timestamp='1336819585' post='1651471'] No,what I'm saying is that if it says Squier on the headstock it's a Squier - unless it was from the short lived first run of export Squiers. [/quote] which are still squiers. they just say fender bigger.

    [quote name='warwickhunt' timestamp='1336818516' post='1651446'] Is this really just over 7lb? Does it balance on a strap OK? [/quote] I saw this ad and thought you might come asking about it.
