[attachment=67938:011.jpg] 90's USA P Deluxe. [attachment=67939:complete2.JPG][attachment=67940:complete1.JPG] 58 P bass home build bitsa project

Yes I spotted this one, didn't think it was active though.

Sold pending payment -
Feel for you Sam, that must be so depressing. I've got it in just one finger at the moment, so I know that my bass playing days are numbered. I'm already having to adjust the way I play and use different positionings for certain numbers. Fast runs are becoming painful and clumsy. Some aspects of getting old really suck, actually make that most aspects. Wish you well, all the best, Gary

price drop bump

Good review and glad to hear that you are enjoying the bass. That's my American Deluxe on the left.

[quote name='bassamp' post='1075793' date='Jan 2 2011, 09:48 PM']Gary as you are not too far away you are more than welcome to come over and try it out Cheers[/quote] Thanks. Told my daughter about it the other night, but christmas has left her skint. Sorry. Good luck with the sale mate. All the best, Gary -
Another Plane Went Down by Shawn Colvin always gets me and I'm not sure why.

For me there is something very pleasing about the pendulum variety. I think they are accurate enough. Looks so much better on the mantel than a modern digital one.

BassBunny doesn't have it yet, but I did post it first class yesterday morning. Thanks Daz I really enjoyed.

Like you I totally loved the nice slim neck when I got my one. Just lately I don't. Now I can only really get on with my nice chunky necked P's and G&L, strange. I think it's something to do with the arthritus in my fretting hand. I think I will be selling my VMJ soon even though my good wife got it for my 50th a couple of years back. Anyway have a bump and hope you sell it.

[quote name='bassamp' post='1072970' date='Dec 30 2010, 06:17 PM']Just put it on the bathroom scales! It weighs 4kg which is about 8.8 pounds Hope this helps[/quote] Thanks. I was asking on behalf of my daughter, she is looking for something lighter than her jazz bass, which yours is. All the best, Gary

That's a nice looker, do you happen to know it's weight? .

I'd be worried, £850 is alot for what could well be a bitsa. Plus it will be a right pain for you if you discover faults with it once you get back home. Any warranty they offer you isn't going to be of much use when you are on the other side of the atlantic. So you will be paying for repairs/set up, unless of course you are capable of doing it yourself. Like others have said Fender P's aren't rare around these parts. You might have to look for a while to find a real good one but that's half the fun.

Come on then get the pics up

I see he has another one on there today

[quote name='bartelby' post='1069456' date='Dec 26 2010, 08:27 AM']Again, not the wife, but the sister in law got me the following books: [/quote] I was lucky enough to get both of those for christmas as well. Also a subscription to BGM.

DR Highbeams
-
My daughter has one (with the skull and cross bones), not to my tastes but it's really quite good.
-
This reallly isn't good enough, you still haven't tidied up that filler piece and you can't even use the excuse of having a dust free period anymore. Looking good though.
-
I like that very much, a very pleasing looking bass. Hope you enjoy.
-
I put a set of Wizard 64's in my vmj and would thoroughly recommend them.
-
I've got a VMJ and it's a very very good bass. I would advise you to try before buying though as the first three I tried were decidely ropey one way or another. Also some of them are very heavy, for example my daughters one is over 11lb.
-
Do any other strings compare to DR Sunbeams?
gary mac replied to cameltoe's topic in Accessories and Misc
I'm a DR convert. I've only tried the High Beams and think they are brilliant. Expensive maybe, but they seem to have a long life compared to others that I've used in the past. -
I know this will sound like a narrow minded, ill thought out reply but to me the bass guitar is a four stringed instrument.
