  1. Hi Alex. This part of the forum is not very busy, so It might be worth you posting your question up in the General Discussion area. More chatters there, sure someone will be able to recommend a tutor. Have you checked out Scott Devine for online lessons? If you haven't it's well worth checking him out.
  2. Those speakers My wife thinks I'm a bit geeky with my hi-fi, must show her this vid
  3. Thanks John, I'll try to sort that link. I'm always sorry to see them go but I like trying out different instruments.
  4. [center]Now only £1,900[/center] [center]Given the condition and quality of this bass, this is a bargain price.[/center] [center]1975 USA Fender Precision Bass. With original case and strap.[/center] [center]My lovely 75 Sunburst P bass.[/center] [center]This instrument is in exceptionally good condition.[/center] [center]The lovely original finish has only a few slight marks/blemishes.[/center] [center]All of the hardware and fittings are in great condition.[/center] [center]Truss rod functions perfectly.[/center] [center]Lovely chunky neck with maple fret board.[/center] [center]The vintage jumbo frets are good with very little wear.[/center] [center]It came to me with flat wounds and since then I’ve only used flats, currently D’addario chromes.[/center] [center]Width at nut is 41mm.[/center] [center]Weighs in at a very should friendly 9lb.[/center] [center]All original other than a replacement switchcraft input socket and a CTS 250 volume pot. I still have the originals which can be supplied as part of the sale.[/center] [center]Asking price is [s]£1,950[/s] Dropping the price to £1900.[/center] [center]I doubt there are many basses from the seventies in this sort of condition, so the price is very reasonable.[/center] [center]Collection preferred and therefore I’m not at this stage quoting a postage price.[/center] [center]I’m in Hertfordshire and I’m happy for BC’ers to visit and try out, prior to buying.[/center] [center]We can discuss courier costs and insurance if necessary.[/center] [center]Not after any trades at the moment.[/center] [center][url="https://flic.kr/p/agn4VU"][/url][/center] [url="https://flic.kr/p/agjjP8"][/url] [url="https://flic.kr/p/agn4NE"][/url] [center]Plenty more pics, which I can email if requested.[/center]
  5. [quote name='xilddx' timestamp='1399062525' post='2440698'] No, it's definitely a Jazz body mate. [/quote]
  6. A pleasure to meet Mark at my place. Another of the BC good guys, highly recommended. My bass has gone to a good home.
  7. [quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1398859686' post='2438324'] You`ll regret letting her go Gary, I did with my 78 black/black/maple Precision, luckily managed to get her back recently. [/quote] I know mate. I never really want to sell any of them.
  8. Damn our old shoulders eh Mike? This is an impressively good bass for not much dosh and Mike is a fine chap to deal with.
  9. I guess you can't beat one to one with a tutor.
  10. [quote name='Number6' timestamp='1398949854' post='2439307'] I really need to brush up my skills and am undecided whether to go for these online type teachings or go for some proper lessons.....i tend to think i will glean more from getting a good bass tutor but don't know what to do :-$ [/quote] In the first instance, why not check out Scott's free lessons on You Tube and see how you get on.
  11. How long are you comfortable with? I suppose I would be looking at their feedback and getting a feel for their trading record etc. If at all worried, I would probably move on, certainly if I wasn't getting any response to pm's, calls, emails or whatever.
  12. Glad you got your dosh back Mark but what a sorry state of affairs.
  13. Not sure what I would have done but well done and wish you well mate. Different situation but I played a gig a while back with a full on migraine. Visual disturbance and blinding pain. It was a truly horrid experience. Migraines are bad enough at home, when I can shut the curtains, lie down in a dark, quiet room and wait for it to pass. But in a gig situation with lights, noise and heat, Oh my word.
  14. [quote name='geoffbyrne' timestamp='1398593691' post='2435515'] I did both on my Peavey Cirrus and could discern absolutely no difference at all. G. [/quote] Same for me but on a Fender P Deluxe.
  15. Lovely. It's got to be a black p/g with a black body, good work.
  16. [quote name='WHUFC BASS' timestamp='1398437522' post='2434130'] Love it mate. My ideal Precision bass. [/quote] It is a real good example. I love it as well.

    [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1398433741' post='2434090'] Played one of these at Wazoo's place. Awesome! [/quote] I played Wazoo's one at my place. Awesome! That is lovely Kev.
  18. [center]1974 Fender Precision and original Fender case.[/center] [center]There’s something else I fancy buying so time to put another of my rather lovely 70’s P basses up for sale.[/center] [center]Black body with maple board/neck.[/center] [center]All original pups, electrics and chrome covers.[/center] [center]Lovely clean maple board and neck.[/center] [center]40 mm. at the nut.[/center] [center]Chunky, vintage fretwork in excellent condition.[/center] [center]Weighing in at a very shoulder friendly 8.2lbs.[/center] [center]The case is generally good, although one corner looks a bit ropey as can be seen in the photo.[/center] [center]Catches all work and there is even a key.[/center] [center]This is a cool looking vintage instrument and very resonant, even unplugged it’s loud and growly.[/center] [center]Very good condition but not immaculate, there are a few blemishes and general signs of use.[/center] [center]Hopefully as can be seen in the pics, it is really very clean, given its age.[/center] [center]The pots are dated 1974 but the serial number on the neck plate indicates 1975, although the previous owner is convinced that it is a 74. Fender could be a bit haphazard with dating back then of course, anyway it is a very decent 70’s example.[/center] [center]The band I am with, mostly play sweaty, crowded pubs, where I regularly seem to find myself and my gear in the firing line of inebriated punters. I’m therefore wary of using vintage instruments. If we played venues with stages this would be a keeper, as I find it very comfortable to play and it packs a good old P bass punch.[/center] [center]Collection preferred and therefore I’m not at this stage quoting a postage price.[/center] [center]We can discuss postage costs etc if necessary.[/center] [center]. I’m in Hertfordshire and happy for BC’ers to visit and try out, prior to buying.[/center] [center]Priced at £ 1,950[/center] [center]Not after any trades at the moment, thanks.[/center] [center]Cash or bank transfer preferred, I can accept Pay Pal but the buyer will have to pay the fees.[/center] [center]I’ve also still got the sunburst 75 P and although Iit hasn't been bumped of late, it is still for sale.
