  1. [quote name='Thunderbird' timestamp='1383187513' post='2261400'] Only just seen this Gary it is in fantastic condition really nice clean example mate lovely [/quote] thanks [quote name='Chiliwailer' timestamp='1383248687' post='2262206'] Hey Gary, it really is as lovely as you said. Mmmm, Ash body with maple fingerboard, one of my favorite combo's, bet she sounds gorgeous [/quote] It is a pleasing look, thanks Chilli
  2. Why not get a quote to have one made to your spec. Our very own bc'er henry norton is very helpful.
  3. No school bass for us. But my mate let me use his 73 Jazz for assembly performances
  4. Thanks once again, if you all keep telling me how lovely it is I might talk myself out of selling it. Used it this afternoon to play along with some Police tunes and a bit of Northern Soul, sounded lush
  5. Just heard Born in a UFO on Radio 2. Not too sure what I think about it really, maybe need a few more listens.
  6. Suspect I might be doing the same with my 75 P Clarky.
  7. [quote name='lonestar' timestamp='1383080412' post='2260053'] Apart from the blindness, shakes and increasing insanity presumably [/quote]

  9. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h5EofwRzit0[/media] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=51OB2YoC4sg[/media] Tunes I'm learning this learning this afternoon.
  10. Thanks chaps, it is an extremely clean example.
  11. [quote name='steve-bbb' timestamp='1382945649' post='2258141'] You turn up at the first rehearsal and then they come clean and tell you it's actually a Suzi Quattro Tribute Band [/quote] ....and you have to do this dance routine [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M9ShxkcqUlQ[/media]
  12. Go Milty, go kick up a din.
  13. [quote name='KiOgon' timestamp='1382895372' post='2257690'] Sad news & just this afternoon I had a visit from an old g/f telling me her 1st husband, one of my old best mates has died at 60 [/quote] As well as the sad news of Lou Reed's passing, sorry to hear about your mate John
  14. [center]PRICE NOW REDUCED TO £1950.00[/center] [center]1975 USA Fender Precision Bass.[/center] [center]Complete with the original hard case and the Fender strap supplied from new.[/center] [center]This instrument is in exceptionally good condition.[/center] [center]The lovely original sunburst finish has only a few slight marks/blemishes.[/center] [center]Virtually no buckle rash.[/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]Chrome covers were missing when it came to me.[/center] [center]The input socket developed an intermittent crackle sometime back. I didn’t want to replace it due to the electrics being all original. However, I decided that functionality should come first and so replaced it with a quality Switchcraft unit. I still have the original, which can be supplied with the sale.[/center] [center]The volume pot also developed a crackle and occasionally would cut out. Once again, although I didn’t particularly want to change it, I decided that a replacement control would be worthwhile and ensure that the bass was reliable if I wanted to gig with it. The Bass Doc sent me down an original 250 CTS pot. I will supply the original, which could be refurbished. The original pot dated 38th week of 1974 can be seen in one of the photos[/center] [center] All the other electrics are sound. The pups are great. Tone control works perfectly.[/center] [center]Asking Price [s]£2,10[/s] price dropped to £1,950. It won't be going any lower, it's such a nice one, I'll just hang on to it a while longer.[/center] [center]Dealer prices for P basses of this age and condition are a lot higher.[/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]I’m not in any hurry to sell this bass, so please, no silly offers.[/center] [center]Not after any trades at the moment.[/center] [center]If any more details or additional photos are required let me know, thanks.[/center] [url="http://www.flickr.com/photos/httpwwwflickrcomphotosgmac190/6081068370/"][/url] [url="http://www.flickr.com/photos/httpwwwflickrcomphotosgmac190/6080533653/"][/url] [url="http://www.flickr.com/photos/httpwwwflickrcomphotosgmac190/6080533781/"][/url] [url="http://www.flickr.com/photos/httpwwwflickrcomphotosgmac190/6081068922/"][/url] [url="http://www.flickr.com/photos/httpwwwflickrcomphotosgmac190/10510861043/"][/url] [url="http://www.flickr.com/photos/httpwwwflickrcomphotosgmac190/10510662806/"][/url] [url="http://www.flickr.com/photos/httpwwwflickrcomphotosgmac190/10510704474/"][/url] [url="http://www.flickr.com/photos/httpwwwflickrcomphotosgmac190/10510688255/"][/url] [url="http://www.flickr.com/photos/httpwwwflickrcomphotosgmac190/10510900963/"][/url] [url="http://www.flickr.com/photos/httpwwwflickrcomphotosgmac190/10510917943/"][/url] [url="http://www.flickr.com/photos/httpwwwflickrcomphotosgmac190/10510759244/"][/url] [url="http://www.flickr.com/photos/httpwwwflickrcomphotosgmac190/10510767114/"][/url] [url="http://www.flickr.com/photos/httpwwwflickrcomphotosgmac190/10510776554/"][/url] [url="http://www.flickr.com/photos/httpwwwflickrcomphotosgmac190/10510967093/"][/url]
  15. A couple of years back I got three sets of Hartke roundwounds for about £13.00 on Ebay. I was quite impressed with them really and for that price they were great. If funds were tight I would happily use them again.
  16. Let's hope he has a full and speedy recovery.
  17. I thought meths was surgical spirit with a dye added.
  18. The container is not going to have any effect, so longs as the strings get immersed. I suspect that your strings are just too far gone. Time to splash the cash on some new ones
  19. I didn't like the Ernie Balls I put on my G&L a while back, it's the only time it has sounded (to my ears) lacklustre. Order was restored with DR Highbeams. I fancied trying something different on one of my P basses and had an amazon voucher, so I've just ordered a set of D'addario Pro Steels. Cost about £15 with postage.
