    I love a bargain Loz but don't think personally I would risk it with an amp. Having said that I have had hardware, bodies etc shipped over, without incident. But on the whole items that were more robust than an amp. My last amp purchase was made the old fashioned way by taking a trip to Gig Gear, as I was fearful of having it posted within our own shores.

    Bask in the glory my man. I've experienced the same thing after a few recent gigs. It always catches me out and I don't respond to it very well, usually a mumbled thank you and slightly bashful shuffling about on the spot.

    Can't really answer your question about size etc. but would say unless there is a fault with the existing ones, i.e. not keeping the instrument in tune, I would save your dosh.

    .....can be so pleasurable. Just spent an hour or so cleaning and restringing my Wal and G&L and it has made me very happy. I'm so easily pleased these days

    Thanks for your interest spacey. Just checked through all my pics, thinking I had taken one showing the whole thing but it would seem that I didn't. My pics above do show just about every detail though. Let me know, if you really need the portrait shot and I'll sort it tomorrow,

    Yes like KB said above, get it recorded.

    G & L should probably be on your radar. Many consider the P's that Leo designed at that point of his career to be the best.

    Start work early, don't have a lunch break, finish late. Sorted.

    Thing is Myke, a lot of the set that I play, I wouldn't choose to sit and listen to at home. The band I'm with at the moment, unlike a lot of bands that I see about and bands I've been with in the past, tend to play stuff that hopefully is generally of a feel good nature and gets the audience dancing. Get the girls bopping about and the chaps will be close by and spending at the bar; this means happy bar/club owner and we get invited back. It works for us

    bump to the top

    [quote name='Myke' timestamp='1391986500' post='2363388'] Why?! [/quote]

    It can be so tough, so I'm not surprised you've had a restless night Lozz. You're not alone mate, I'm sure that most of us who have been in bands, have at some point been in the same position. For me, once it stops being fun then it's time to move on.

    [quote name='Grangur' timestamp='1391874801' post='2362210'] The weekend's here now.... and so's that bass [/quote] and another bump
  19. gary mac
    What Monsieur Thunderbird said.
  20. gary mac
    Still here, a very decent P bass for not a lot of dosh.
  21. gary mac
    Can't help you sorry, but just wanted to say I love the version that Tom cat serenaded the cat of his dreams with, in one of the very old tom and Jerry cartoons
  22. gary mac
    A bump just because the weekend is nearly here
  23. gary mac
    Thanks chaps. I was surprised at how well it plays. [quote name='hamfist' timestamp='1391721579' post='2360686'] That looks in great condition for it's age. Do you know if it's a solid wood body or ply ? I know many of the early 90's Korean Squiers had ply body (although still managed to sound excellent !). [/quote] I had the neck off yesterday, when setting it up and fitting a shim. Should have taken the opportunity to check whether the body is ply or solid then but I forgot. If you're keen to have it, let me know and I'll check.

    [center]Squier Korean Precision Bass.[/center] [center]Black with white single ply pick guard.[/center] [center]Slim maple neck and fret board.[/center] [center]41 mm at the nut.[/center] [center]Neck radius 12”.[/center] [center]Weight 8lb 4oz.[/center] [center]1995 (assuming I’ve understood the serial numbering system)[/center] [center]Amazingly good condition. There are a couple of dings in the finish but none that have cracked the paint.[/center] [center]All the hardware looks great, with no signs of wear or corrosion.[/center] [center]Electrics function as they should.[/center] [center]No crackling from the pots.[/center] [center]A good, basic P bass.[/center] [center]I’ve given it a decent set up and it plays well. I’ve set the string height at the 12[sup]th[/sup] fret to just less than the thickness of a pound coin. At the 15[sup]th[/sup] fret, approx 2.8 mm on the E string. This suits my playing style with a pick. If you play with a more gentle touch, it will go lower.[/center] [center]Truss rod is functioning perfectly.[/center] [center]Intonation is good. The bridge is functioning as it should, although the saddle height adjustment screws are too long and protrude proud of the bridge. It’s a pet hate of mine but common with these models. In the past, on other basses I have either replaced with shorter screws or cut down the originals.[/center] [center]Asking £[s]125.00[/s] price dropped to just £115[/center] [center]Collection preferred, I’m in Hertfordshire.[/center] [center]Cash, Bank Transfer, Pay Pal (buyer to suffer pay pal fees)[/center] [center]I don’t have a hard case, so if posting is required I will post it with the neck removed and everything bubble wrapped in a sturdy box.[/center] [center]Postage via courier would be approx £15.00 but will be confirmed.[/center] [center]No trades thanks.[/center] [url="http://www.flickr.com/photos/httpwwwflickrcomphotosgmac190/12347821965/"][/url] [url="http://www.flickr.com/photos/httpwwwflickrcomphotosgmac190/12348282084/"][/url] [url="http://www.flickr.com/photos/httpwwwflickrcomphotosgmac190/12347813585/"][/url] [url="http://www.flickr.com/photos/httpwwwflickrcomphotosgmac190/12347992023/"][/url] [url="http://www.flickr.com/photos/httpwwwflickrcomphotosgmac190/12347809695/"][/url] [url="http://www.flickr.com/photos/httpwwwflickrcomphotosgmac190/12348267364/"][/url] [url="http://www.flickr.com/photos/httpwwwflickrcomphotosgmac190/12347985863/"][/url] [url="http://www.flickr.com/photos/httpwwwflickrcomphotosgmac190/12347978713/"][/url] [url="http://www.flickr.com/photos/httpwwwflickrcomphotosgmac190/12347973783/"][/url] [url="http://www.flickr.com/photos/httpwwwflickrcomphotosgmac190/12348259054/"][/url] [url="http://www.flickr.com/photos/httpwwwflickrcomphotosgmac190/12347976923/"][/url] [url="http://www.flickr.com/photos/httpwwwflickrcomphotosgmac190/12347794255/"][/url]
