We posted at the same time, sorry looks like you didnt need another recommendation

As with Clarky and Greg, I would recommend Si. He sorted me a very nice 75P from one of his U.S. contacts and got it delivered to my door in double quick time. Just as importantly I think he got the deal, delivery, customs etc all dealt with more effeciently than I would have and probably saved me some dosh too.

I would take on all of the above advice. I think in the first intance and before I were to make any further investigation, I would be treating as a I would for any instrument purchase i.e. doing all the usual checks: Electrics, Truss Rod, Frets etc. The above would allow me to ascertain what I would be happy paying for a standard 76 P. After that I could then attempt a decision on what I would be happy to pay for an instrument owned by a famous musician. Good luck and let us know

Great stuff, will watch out for the link.

I don't like Marmite but do like your bass

No I havent but did see some T.V,. footage recently and that was the reason that I won't be going. Shame though, bet it cost you a few bob too.

Supplied Tom with a bridge. A pleasure to deal with and good communication all the way.

Being the other side of fifty, I always feel a bit of a buffoon playing Teenage Kicks.

Nice one Lozz, enjoy it matey.

Great post. thanks

DR Strings are extremely good. There was a thread on here recently about some duff ones doing the rounds though. I've got the Highbeams on a couple of my basses and really like them. Got to agree with earlier posts, a good set up and decent strings is a good starting point.

Hope it works out for you, sounds like a good plan.

[quote name='kevin_lindsay' timestamp='1332198193' post='1584840'] I think I'm gravitating towards an ebony one. I had an original '56 P-Bass a few years back, and that had a black painted maple finger rest on it. I miss that bass, still can't believe I gave it away!!! [/quote] you GAVE IT AWAY, I can't believe it either Kev, you must be a truly generous, lovely individual or you were suffering some serious senior moment.

I've purchased from him and it was all good.

Can't advise you but I'll shall watch this thread with interest. I'm still knackered and nursing a sore back, following the load in and out from saturday nights gig.

yes, strange that

Can understand not everyone liking the Precision but WTF is all this nonsense about them only being able to generate a thud?

I've used this seller [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Clear-GLOSS-Nitrocellulose-Nitro-Guitar-Lacquer-400ml-Aerosol-Vintage-Finish-/190575441601?pt=UK_Guitar_Accessories&hash=item2c5f2e76c1"]http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Clear-GLOSS-Nitrocellulose-Nitro-Guitar-Lacquer-400ml-Aerosol-Vintage-Finish-/190575441601?pt=UK_Guitar_Accessories&hash=item2c5f2e76c1[/url] Don't know if they are the cheapest but the service and products are very good.

You need to get that one back Mark, they just look so right together.

Sold Mickey my little Peavey combo. Great to deal with, a nice smooth, easy transaction and the money was in my account pronto.
