Chin up mate. Think yourself lucky, the function band I play with usually has four/five guitards. I cope with your grief, times four. I do sympathise, but as for advice, I'm not your man today. My heads all fuzzy as I just watched an episode of Jeremy Kiel, where do these people all hide out when not an that show.

A nice pair, hardly jealous at all. Hope you enjoy. All the best

Good news Si, well done. All the best

Was Whitney stoned or damaged from her past?

If you do decide to sell, I am after a precision.

Thanks chaps, most helpful, it's really appreciated. I think it could be a long search, but I am a patient type,

Hi all, I've been hankering after an old Fender for some time now, this has been made worse recently due to the flurry of postings from Pepone2401. Now I really want one, but due to lack of funds I need to consider selling, swopping or trading some of my current collection. Twenty odd years back the last thing I wanted was a fender and was really keen on exotic woods and active electronics, anyway got that all out of my system and now find myself favouring simple passive arrangements. The reason for this post is to ask for some pointers really. An idea of prices for sixties and seventies models, either precision or jazz. Good years, bad years etc. Pitfalls to look out for. Not sure yet, but thinking of selling,swapping, trading my Wal. It's an option to consider. I can't get any pics up at the mo, but I did post sometime back in the gear porn section (page 29). So any info would be appreciated or offers from fender owners, via pms if you feel it's more appropriate. I also have a 1980's Yamaha bb1200 and a , bex 4 Sorry, bit of a rambling post, but not having a good day today. So hope to hear from some you, all the best Gary.

That looks awesome, so when is it's first gig? Enjoy

Nice collection. What fretless are you after then?

nice ones Clarky

Good to think that she will get some love.... enjoy

Another beauty. I said before that I wasn't going to be looking at any more of your posts, but I failed. Keep em coming.......it's such a treat. all the best, Gary

Brilliant review, thanks for your efforts.

+1 for T cut, did one of mine over the weekend, it came up a treat

I'm going to stop looking at your posts. They give me the major I wants. I want I want I want

Who can say what they are really worth? Like Si asks would there be £1200 worth of difference? I love Wals and I love Fenders, but do feel the prices are a bit silly for some models. So many bassists have been clamouring after Wals and enthusing about them over the years, the new Wal team are aware of this of course and I'm sure that this has influenced their price structuring. Who can blame them. I suspect it will not affect the used value of the originals. On that subject thinking about trading my old Wal for an american vintage jazz or maybe precision, any one want to discuss a deal. I am not absolutely sure about this, it may be because i'm bored on a miserable grotty monday afternoon, so consider it a tentative feeler.

I've had a look.... The GAS is back.

I'm not going to check out the site today as I am feeling lonely and depressed and my wife isn't here to keep me in check. The last time that the same set of conditions occured I found myself bidding and winning a bass that I didn't need on ebay. Don't think all my bodily parts will remain intact if I have to break the news that I've ordered a new Wal bass, when she returns this evening. Although I could try saying that I had just ordered the entry level model, with no extras. On second thoughts, I will just have a quick look.

come on come on..............this isn't fair, I can't handle all this tension on a monday morning

Played a private function in Ware last night. I really didn't feel upto it after a rough week health wise. Got through it fairly well, a couple of minor mistakes, but given the level of sweating, coughing, shaking and sneezing going on, not bad. I still made less mistakes than some of the guitards, although I did have one of those hideous "I can't remember how to get from verse to chorus moments on Hotel California". A couple of weeks off now and then a depp with Mice with Glasses at the end of the month.

How could you be out of order Peter, you're the bassist.

Thanks for that Old Git.
