    [quote name='deanovw' timestamp='1327696568' post='1515673'] 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 [/quote] Thats brilliant, thanks very much, i'll check it out.

    Some help needed! Despite regularly buying basses from both Europe and the US, I've never shipped anything myself outside the UK. I'm currently selling a bass, and had an enquiry from Germany, and they've asked how much for insured shipping. Not only do i have no idea about cost, but i wouldnt know the best company to use. I'm guessing Parcelforce would be pricey, especially with insurance. Any good couriers out there who do Europe, and if so, how do they collect. The courier i use in the UK, only does UK Anyone with any experience, good or bad?? Thanks in advance.

[url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Fender-bass-guitar-neck-/290661017736?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item43acbf2888"]http://www.ebay.co.u...=item43acbf2888[/url] .................the seller is now saying its a Fender Japan neck, still not convinced [/quote] The only 'Fender' part of this is the fake decal !!

    [quote name='Minty' timestamp='1327612170' post='1514307'] Beautiful bass! Normally I wouldn't even [i]look[/i] at a Fender without a maple neck / fretboard / headstock...but I'd play this one every night of the week! [/quote] Isn't that a rosewood board you're playing on your avatar??
  8. Rick's Fine '52
    Price??
  9. Rick's Fine '52
    No brainer, Fender, every time. Unless I got cold, in which case the Fodera would probably burn longer.

    [quote name='lozbass' timestamp='1327479395' post='1511786'] Utterly lovely - I'm amazed this is still here (especially at this price!) - clearly tough times! [/quote] Thanks Loz, i need some funds, so its going on 'The Bay' at the weekend, see if i have any more luck there. Tough times indeed!!

    [quote name='lozbass' timestamp='1327504824' post='1512491'] Hahaha, would love to but proper basses are too big for me nowadays![/quote] You big girl!! To be honest, if your Alembic was a longscale, i probably would have taken it, it looks fantastic, a bass you just know will even make someone with my limited ability sound good!! [quote] That '58 of yours really is gorgeous. [/quote] Thanks, it is, true vintage vibe, and i wouldnt be selling it unless i had a new purchase waiting in the wings!

    [quote name='DirkThrust' timestamp='1326925090' post='1503979'] Yeah, it was a '74 (supposedly) CAR Jazz and the poor guy paid top dollar for it only to find it was a bitsa. [/quote] I remember it well, poor guy, not nice when you here about that.

    [quote name='DirkThrust' timestamp='1326909194' post='1503633'] Don't know what became of Mr 2-Gnome-Attic. He was a guy over here who got well and truly ripped off by Tune-O-Matic and was posting spoof ebay listings to try and prick TOM's conscience. A bit like trying to kill an elephant with a pea shooter [/quote] Was that the Candy Apple Red Jazz 'issue' ???

    [quote name='mercuryl' timestamp='1326896937' post='1503348'] Lookey here then [url="http://www.fender.com/en-GB/products/search.php?partno=0253900541"]http://www.fender.co...rtno=0253900541[/url] [/quote] Exactly, its a reissue colour, not an 'original' fender colour that was of the period of this bass, or any preceeding basses or instruments.
