  1. Thanks John, much appreciated.
  2. [font=Calibri][size=3][color=#000000]Squier MB4 Bass.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Calibri][size=3][color=#000000]Offered for sale at £125.00, my daughter’s Indonesian built Squier four string, fretted bass.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Calibri][size=3][color=#000000]This model has been discontinued but when available the RRP was £310, so I think £125 seems to be a very fair price. [/color][/size][/font] [font=Calibri][size=3][color=#000000]The lightweight body is Agathis, with a metallic black paint job and the skull and crossbones decal, which is also featured as an inlay at the twelve fret.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Calibri][size=3][color=#000000]All hardware is in matching black.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Calibri][size=3][color=#000000]It has the very versatile P/J pickup combination.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Calibri][size=3][color=#000000]Controls are volume, pan, tone, all work perfectly and are crackle free.[/color][/size][/font] [size=3][color=#000000][font=Calibri]Everything functions as it should.[/font][/color][/size] [size=3][color=#000000][font=Calibri]The truss rod is good and I have just adjusted it to the recommended setting.[/font][/color][/size] [font=Calibri][size=3][color=#000000]The bass is in good but not pristine condition. One of the pics shows a dent to the body. Other than that some buckle rash and small blemishes.[/color][/size][/font] [size=3][color=#000000][font=Calibri]It is a comfortable weight and plays perfectly well, the frets are nicely finished with no sharp edges or wear.[/font][/color][/size] [font=Calibri][size=3][color=#000000]Recently restrung with 45-105 stainless steel rounds (Hartke).[/color][/size][/font] [font=Calibri][size=3][color=#000000]Happy to arrange viewings/test drive.[/color][/size][/font] [size=3][color=#000000][font=Calibri]There is no case with this bass so collection would be preferred. [/font][/color][/size] [font=Calibri][size=3][color=#000000]If you do require the bass to be posted, we can arrange for shipping, but please note that this will be at additional cost over and above the price quoted.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Calibri][size=3][color=#000000]My daughter is having some health problems at the moment and not able to work, hence the sale of this and some other instruments. She is therefore not interested in trades at this time. She is a Bass Chat member but I offered to do the photos, put up the ads and deal with the sales as she just isn’t up to doing it herself at present.[/color][/size][/font] [size=3][color=#000000][font=Calibri]Cash sale preferred, but can accept Pay Pal or Bank transfer.

  3. Would nicely disguise and diminish the look of my ever expanding gut.
  4. That looks very nice. Good luck with your sale. Not that you have asked for my opinion but for what it's worth, I think you could furnish us with a bit more info and more pics.
  5. Yes, stick with it. Have a breather and come back to it when your mood improves. I felt the same last weekend, when I had probs with a p bass body purchased for a build. I sulked for a few days and deleted all the items in my watch list on e bay. But will start looking again soon.
  6. These days I use a printed tick sheet of kit that I set up on the computer. Use it for the load in at home and just as importantly the load back in, post gig.
  7. Although it's admirable that you are willing to give it a try, I don't think it's a sound idea. Will pm you.
  8. Another thumbs up for obbm. Top man to deal with and quality kit at decent prices.
  9. Amen, bass brother
  10. I've just taken delivery of a P bass body from Mike, who was a pleasure to deal with. The body was as described and well packaged. Thanks.
  11. Given how you feel about it and the general low standard, walk away. Life's too short. I did the same earlier this year, not because the standard was low, it was actually very good but other reasons were preventing us from progressing. I had realised this right from the start but kept at it, hoping the situation would improve. It didn't and was never likely to, so I did what I should have done a year earlier and left. Had a break from playing for a few weeks and then did some depps and started the search for another band. Someone actually found me a few weeks later. Like someone else mentioned, we are a rare breed. I cam remember that I did find it frustrating with Join my band and other sites, there are an awful lot of bedroom rockers and also middle aged blokes with all the gear, who want to kick up a din once a week every week for ever and ever but not actually gig, Also the band that have got the EP recorded, just waiting for George Martin to find a gap in his diary to mix it down for them.and blah blah ..............but there are some decent ones out there and one of them will need you Good luck with it whatever you decide.
  12. A 59 P bass for less than the cost of a 70's one, I would be/am truly suspicious. Bargain postage price too.
  13. Yes it looks good. Quality parts too. Be interesting to see if anyone bites. I think most buyers are reluctant to spend out on a bitsa, even when put together as nicely as this one looks to be. Added to watch list
  14. Lovely
  15. [quote name='KiOgon' timestamp='1318177017' post='1398869'] When he was on Jools t'other night I thought that was his old gold J he was playing? [/quote] Yes, so did I.
  16. Welcome. enjoy the site. Hope you find the bass that you want.
  17. Could the neck be twisted?
  18. Glad it's staying within our community and hope they are very happy together.
  19. Hope it's a splendid experience for you.
  20. That must be some guitar Alan to make you want to part with this one. Very, very nice.
  21. Wow. What an instrument, super shiney. Isn't it ironic Nige, you love a modern space age looking bass but Mr Crabtree style fishing tackle
  22. Hi Marvin. Have you checked out Lemonrock? It seems that a lot of the ads for muscicians on there are from your neck of the woods.
  23. Yes maybe, but it just gave me the hump and i hit the delete
  24. Thanks Colin, I had a mail from him last night. Hopefully no one will be fooled by him.
