This is the original ebay auction. [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250889211962&ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:GB:1123#ht_1135wt_1398"]Here[/url] This first auction was genuine. I know because I viewed the bass and bid on it. The text in this new auction has been lifted from the original. I say scam.

Depends on your budget. I would look into American or Mexican roadworn necks. Thats just me though. There are a few on US ebay.

I wouldn't say a thumb was better than a streamer but different. I would recommend you try before you buy. Stingrays are awesome all round basses. You cant go wrong with a stingray imho. Once again, you have to try one out if possible. I sold my last Thumb, bolt on, for £850.

[quote name='Machines' timestamp='1328429808' post='1526682'] Loved that video. Sounds like flats on that P bass ? [/quote] I emailed him and he replied. Nice guy. He said he thinks they are rounds on that video. He uses half rounds now. The set he has on his bass at the moment has been on there for over a year now.

Cool band. Great playing and am loving the P bass tone. [url="http://www.newmastersounds.com/about/pete/"]Pete Shand[/url]

I have never seen this before. Awesome.

I can't afford an old Jazz bass just at the minute but I have a '60s RI jazz bass and that does everything I need. I have tried other basses but always go back to a Fender Jazz.

I vote Saxon too.

I just sold a really nice P bass to someone in Belgium. Super smooth deal. I used parcel2go.com. The actual courier was UPS. They collected it and left me with the tracking number and I tracked it all the way to his front door. Cost was approx £30 uninsured and £70 insured. Have a look on their website for an accurate quote. I would def recommend them

I would go for the valve SVT and 8x10 everyday if there were roadies doing the shifting.

[quote name='silddx' timestamp='1327668183' post='1515035'] I simply would not be seen dead on stage with a jeans and t shirt and a sunburst bass. [/quote] Hey, I resemble that remark!!

Likewise. I couldn't get a new one. My local shop gave me a 6 week wait. I eventually found a used one on ebay for nearly £200 off the retail price. [quote name='keving' timestamp='1327580691' post='1513610'] If they didn't sell enough it was only because they didn't manufacture enough. About 6 months ago or so when I was in the market for one I couldn't find a shop in the country that had any stock. They were all saying 'we should have some in 2 weeks', then it was going to be next month, come august there was still no stock. I bought a GK MB500 instead as there was no clear indication if and when anyone would have any stock delivered. [/quote]

I love these threads. The strat was really nice. Looking forward to seeing this one finished. I am even thinking about refinishing my roadworn jazz in black and not relicing it.

I guess you mean this epic piece? [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x1mV_5-bRPo[/media]

Thanks for the leather strap Chris. Super quick posting!!! Dean.

Fair question. I have been looking for a '60s RI for a while. A friend has a 1983 squier that is super light and full of charatcer. He wont sell it to me for what I want to pay. It is much nicer than anything I have tried. I am in Cornwall so there is not much shopping around. I have been reading lots of positive reactions about the RW range. My local music shop owner offered to get one in for me to try. No pressure. I had been in previously and tried a used USA standard jazz he had in. It didn't excite me. The RW arrived and I took it home. As much as I hate fake relic-ing the bass is great and I cant stop playing it. Sometimes I lean it against things and don't use its stand. It doesn't worry me. I [quote name='TraceElliotBass' timestamp='1326805617' post='1502108'] Nice looking bass! But I don't understand that if you really don't like the road worn/used look why did you buy a road worn? [/quote]

I am leaving them on. If anyone asks I shall tell them it is a 2011 bass. [quote name='4 Strings' timestamp='1326731131' post='1501169'] Now you have a dilemma. Do you take off the 'CE' stickers which show that its brand new? [/quote]

Nice.

Oh dear, the poor chap is trying to earn a living doing what we all love to do. He seems like a decent chap and I hope to buy him a beer one day in exchange for tinker with 'Betsy'.

It is for playing. Not hanging on a wall. This is a good thing.

Thanks. Its not for sale.

Here is my latest.
