That looks like a winner Rob. I've been impressed with the quality of the Japanese Fenders and really think they represent great value. I've been gigging Prosteels on a couple of my P basses over the last six months or so and really rate them.

No worries. Sorry can't help. I guess some Google searching will get you sorted

Have you tried contacting Wal? I emailed them a while back and had a very helpful reply within a day or two.

Same here but will leave it to you, we don't want to be bidding against each other.

Check out this site [url="http://home.provide.net/~cfh/fender2.html"]http://home.provide....fh/fender2.html[/url] Actually can't recall if it covers Japanese instruments but if not, it's still a good reference source for Fender stuff

Check everything is intact, no missing screws etc. Try to see if the truss rod nut is sound and not burred up and ideally check to see that it functions. Check for rattles, fret buzz, fret wear, high frets. etc. Check control pots function etc. Unless it has been seriously abused, I'm sure it will be fine, all the Japanese ones I've owned and played have been of a very good standard.

Hope it's as good as it looks

I don't think that's a bad price for a retail outlet. Being a Japanese one there is a very good chance it will be an excellent instrument. Obviously give it a thorough going over and then decide if you like it. You can then always make an offer. Good luck.

Hope it goes well St. Albans certainly has a busy music scene, I did a pub dep over there a couple of weeks back to a large and enthusiastic audience.

Another thumbs up for Plug in Baby, always goes down well when we include it.

Good luck, hope you raise loads of dosh. Remember to enjoy it

Can relate to your frustration Paul, I've experienced the same and it can be very, very annoying. Tend not to worry so much now, having accepted that there are a fair number of ignorant twats about and that as membership numbers increase, then so do the chances of encountering more of said twats. On a plus note, there are still plenty of BC'ers who are a pleasure to deal with, the feedback forum being all the proof you need. Go have a look and have your faith re affirmed

[quote name='Myke' timestamp='1404727557' post='2495029'] Buy the stringray and think of it as the reason you're giving up smoking. No money on cigarettes, lots of money for gear [/quote] Good plan and one that I certainly went along with.

[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1404677898' post='2494679'] Apologies again for missing out your G&L Gary, great bass, wish I`d remembered to include it [/quote] No worries Lozz, you did a great job, despite the G&L tragedy.

Great to meet up again and to meet some new BC'ers.

Some real surprise results, I thought. It was much tougher than I imagined it would be. Great work by Loz.

He is ok Clarky, life has been a bit hectic is what I heard.

Good man.

Will you bring it along to the bash tomorrow Lozz? Would like to take a look at it.
