  1. Hi folks, selling a 95' japanese fender p bass in cherryburst with limited edition fotoflame ,overall in great condition with only light minor scratches top back - see pics. Otherwise pristine. neck also is in great shape with no fret wear or pitting. Neck is extremely comfortable to play and is essentially a 62 reissue neck with vintage frets a 7.5 radius, and 1.625 nut width, propably one of the nicest necks ive had my hands on and is a dream to play. None of those dreaded fender dead notes on the G. Pick guard is a nice pearloid off white colour and is original to the bass. It seems to have a very subtle orange tinge to it which compliments the burst. Bridge is the original standard fender with solid saddles The overall weight is about 8 pounds. It's definitely lighter than my other basses.. These are a limited edition so they are increasingly collectable. Aside from the foto flame,this is a standard MIJ 62' japanese reissue with the USA vintage p'up. The bass comes with a heavy duty flight case (pictured) which cost over £100. The case been knocked about a bit but is in a decent shape considering its so well travelled, and its done its job well as the bass it 99.9% immaculate. collect from Southend in Essex or with post at buyers risk and cost [b]£5,500 - trades will be considered[/b] this has the fotoflame logo on the back of the headstock the only blemish on this otherwise immaculate bass

  4. sit and swap licks, help each other out on finer points etc - particularly jazz standards - or other stuff that stretches the boundaries - whatever your place or mine I do teach as well if your only interested in that - £25 an hour do local home visits if expenses are added check my resume for pedigree [url="http://steveshone.tripod.com/"][b][color="#8B0000"]'my resume'[/color][/b]'[/url]
  5. stripped off the front grill and handles for myself tweeter missing blown Celestion Neo 15" 300 blown - mite recone ok??? (these cost over a £100 new - shame carpet covered well built enclosure Bass amp section blown, may be an easy repair??? may be usefull for parts - its Free - YES FREE ............come and get it from Westcliff in Essex
  6. your all bonkers - cant run any amp without a load, and thats why there are so many superflys out there with one blown side!!! and all those guys who say you can - I dare you to put you to put your solid state amps on soak without a load and see how long it lasts!
  7. [quote name='jamiesonk666' post='1306160' date='Jul 16 2011, 08:32 PM']BTW the DI has never worked since I got it from digital village a little while back, but I dont like DI anyhow.[/quote] thinking about it. I'll let you know!
  8. [quote name='crez5150' post='1299677' date='Jul 11 2011, 10:22 AM']Are you interested in a trade for an Ashdown Superfly? J[/quote] dont think so , but thanks, S
  9. [quote name='alex1995' post='1283260' date='Jun 26 2011, 07:29 PM']would you settle for £150 for the head?[/quote] that's a very unsettling offer
  10. [quote name='mikhay77' post='1238677' date='May 20 2011, 08:21 PM']Thats superb,+1 to the handbuilt jazz club too.Much better than your off the shelf stuff .I did the same,got exactly what I wanted.Pealroid Block lefty upside down neck,Bart pre amp,Vintage EMG's and 3d Bridge,all for about 300 quid.Its the future! [attachment=80494:jimi_jazz_.jpg][/quote] hey! that's a beauty - almost love it as much as mine and love that strat jack socket - original ...love it!
  11. that was a Larry Graham slap rip - probably ignored if a guy did it ( bitter or what - hahahaha! )
  12. all working Hartke 350 watt amp tube / compression / illuminated graphic - blah blah blah housed in a 2U 'LD Systems rack unit carry bag (RRP £50 -ish) brilliant for gigging with rack gear! you can have it in bag mentioned as shown in the pictures or in an alluminum [u][b]3U[/b][/u] rack case £175 with the 3u flight case ( bottom pics, or £190with the 2U carry bag (top pics)[/b] or I'd like trade wise: A Trace Elliot head, but not the old type with UV light and leadweight transformers, but the later smaller more compact type. GP7 or similar no less than 200 watts - more is better Or if you have a head of similar size and power you think you might like to trade then try me. The reason for this is just that I want a free standing head not a rack unit so I'm hoping someone out there has the opposite idea Str8 swaps would be ideal, but all considered. [b]if you have a decent Mex Fender or similar I might trade for that[/b] I'm in Essex, so proximity would be an issue cos posting is an expensive hassle, and its nice to see and try the item before the deal. and after all that long windedness, here's some pix..................
