It's all happening down there, loads to see and do...masses of music shops, venues and gigs.... I love Edinburgh, it is a fantastic city but would love to be around real hustle and bustle. andy[/quote] You should try living around these parts...

I received an MIJ 70's reissue p-bass the other day from loudandclear here. It absolutely rocks (and looks the nuts with your old tort guard on it Chris!). To put it in context it's sitting alongside a Shuker 6 string, a Bongo 5HH and a Lakland Skyline JO4 and it's the equal of any of them (in its own way). Considering what I paid for it I'm totally knocked out by it... looking forward to band practise tonight!

I've just recieved a s/h 70s re-issue CIJ p-bass from loudandclear through the classifieds here. If it is anything to go by then it would be worth being bent over by HM customs to get what you want. I've never played a better p-bass. 2 of the 3 best Fenders I've ever played were MIJ/CIJ: my p-bass and a Marcus Miller sig jazz - each of these is on a par in every way with the 3rd (Fender Roscoe Beck V - one that I let go and shouldn't have!).

Just received a few bits and pieces from Chris (BAII, Tort p-bass scratchplate, SD QP P pickup). Great guy to deal with!

I've just received a CIJ precision from Terry and it was absolutely as described. Quick shipping and a bulletproof packing job. I'm well chuffed!

Me want :wub:

Funny when I first saw this bass I'd thought of doing the exact same thing, buy, gut, sell (then I counted the coppers and realised I couldn't afford it!). It's really down to you. If it were me I'd have changed the pickups already and keep the bass. I'd go for Nordies rather than SDs though. I'm assuming you haven't had too much interest in it as a whole?

I love mojo'd P basses... That one rocks!

What about having a P pickup installed on a DJ5 (making it a DJPJ5!)? Would be an interested bass!

Speak directly to the guys who sell Aggie cabs - Bass Merchant or The Gallery. They SHOULD be able to sort you out.

What about the Aguilar Tone Hammer? It seems to be getting a good word over on the other side...

I like this ones Mojo, whether it's real or not - I find new Fenders to be a real turn-off looks wise. They're just designed to look battered! Keep us informed Kev!

Does this mean there'll be another DD for sale soon?

It's FT here as well...
