  1. [quote name='KiOgon' timestamp='1340559871' post='1706242'] I know [i][b]exactly [/b][/i]how you feel my rack overfloweth at the moment [/quote]
  2. I've not encountered a bad Japanese instrument, although not had any experience with the actual model that you're asking about.
  3. When you turn the screw make sure the saddle is actually moving, sometimes it doesn't and needs a little gentle persuasion.
  4. Thanks John. I hate selling basses, I just want to keep them all really.
  5. Thanks. Not really a profit making exercise, just wanted to get my outlay back. Won't get disheartened, I'll just find something else to sell to pay for the washing machine.
  6. [url="http://www.flickr.com/photos/httpwwwflickrcomphotosgmac190/7427567372/"][/url] 1970’s inspired Precision Bass, handcrafted in Hertfordshire Ok, ok, so it’s really a bitsa but it’s a good one. I’ve got a genuine 75 fender P but have been nervous about gigging it in the type of venues that I was playing with the classic rock band. So I decided to put together a 70’s style bass with decent components, that would hopefully sound and look right. I had decided that if this turned out well it would be a keeper. The good news is that it turned out really well. The unfortunate news for me, is that I‘ve now left the band and also had some unexpected expense on the home front. So I’ve decided to sell. The Spec: Squier VMP body, with 3 ply pick guard. Kiogon Greasebucket type wiring loom, with cts pots. Fender Japan 70’s reissue pups. Mightymite neck, with tinted lacquer finish and Fender decal. 9.5 radius rosewood fret board. Wilkinson vintage style tuners. Fender string tree. Fender F plate neck plate, with Allparts black cushion. New set of Rotosound Nickel Roundwounds 45-105. Everything has fitted together very well which hopefully should be evident in the photos. Looks and feels better than many of the Fenders I’ve picked up to look at in the shops. The neck had not been previously used and therefore the frets have no wear and the fret board is perfect. The only minus points are three small blemishes to the lacquer on the rear of the neck, which you should be able to see in the photos and a few surface scratches to the pick guard, which probably don’t show up in the pics. Weight is a very reasonable 9.5 lbs. I haven’t gigged the bass but have given it an outing to a rehearsal with my other band. It gave a great performance, sounded just right and sat in the mix just like a P bass should. Quite a mixed set, modern stuff, Plan B, Duffy, Black Eyed Peas and old favs, Doobies, Free, ZZ Top etc. Would be happier if this was collected as I don’t have a case for it. But we can discuss shipping if required. Happy for BC’ers to come on round for a try out. I’m asking £295.00. No trades at the moment thanks.

  7. Not had any experience with these models but congrats on getting a bass that you like. Get some pics up
  8. [quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1338226916' post='1671167'] What colour towel should I use? Which is better - cotton or acrylic? Is a [i]motif [/i]of blue fishes blowing bubbles acceptable for a covers band? [/quote] I would recommend one of the towels that have been improved by M D Phillips
  9. I'm a recent convert, although last night I rehearsed using my new P bass which is strung up with nickels. Hell my fingers are sore this morning. Currently got D'Addario Chromes on two of my P basses and really happy with the choice.
  10. Another nice job Alex. You didnt say how it sounded. Same as Awesome or different? Anyway it looks good and hats off to you for the sanding job.
  11. [attachment=110882:002.JPG] A pair of chrome P bass knobs taken from a vintage modified. As new condition. For sale as I've fitted a new Kiogon wiring kit with cts pots, these fit the pots with the slightly smaller shaft of about 6 mm. £9.50 posted.
  12. Used to be a boiler but these days I'm in to the meths
  13. Like Discreet says, check out the for sale forum. There is a Squier Vintage Modified neck on there at the moment for about £55. Would imagine that would suit you just fine. About the right amount to spend I would think.
  14. Another vote for the Bass Doc. Did a fine job for me with a G&L p/g
  15. Yep, like you, I take a spare. I know it's one more thing to carry/load/unload but could save much stress and embarassment. So, have you fixed it yet?
  16. That is a good deal and yes they are popular. I bought an identical one on here a couple of weeks back for about the same price. I've been pimping it up, not because it necessarily needed it but I wanted a project. I would have happily gigged with it in it's stock condtion. You probably just need to be patient, someone will be along Meanwhile, have a bump
  17. Know you said google didn't help but what about google images?
  18. Pleasure to deal with, nice easy transaction, no hassle and immediate payment. Yet another one of the Bass Chat good guys.
  19. Martyn is a good BC'er to deal with. Sale agreed and all paid for within minutes.
  20. Fender Chrome Bridge, unused but without packaging or screws. £9.50 posted. Bank transfer preferred. Thanks for looking.
