  1. [quote name='NancyJohnson' timestamp='1474741635' post='3140206'] Today was a belter. I never win anything. Ever. Period. I am a very happy bunny right now (I would have been even happier had Chelsea not been thumped 3-0 by Arsenal!). Cheers to Alex for bringing the cabinet in for the raffle...it'll be making its gig debut with me tomorrow night in Basingstoke for the first of the Musicians Against Homelessness/Crisis I'm doing. Weeeeeeee! [/quote] You won, congrats, what a brilliant prize.
  2. [quote name='funkgod' timestamp='1474736322' post='3140156'] Hi Gary how are are you ? the early L2000 and the L2000E did the same thing in passive mode, no tone just two volumes. the two outer pots were the same volume, the middle one did nothing. a strange choice. [/quote] Not too bad now thanks Hope you're doing ok.
  3. [quote name='krispn' timestamp='1474576423' post='3139005'] oof nicefrom behind too! [/quote] Indeed and a bump.
  4. Thirteen hole Tort guard and screws. Condition is very good, some slight swirling but almost as new. £ 18.00 + post. Postage is £ 3.95 Costly but I've allowed for a box with padding, rather than risk it getting broken in a padded envelope, which happened to one that I purchased a while back. I'm happy for it to be collected, I'm in Herts.

  5. [quote name='Coilte' timestamp='1474651512' post='3139677'] The SB2 is an amazing bass. The only thing that a lot of people don't like about them is the absence of a tone knob...it has two volume ones. A small upgrade can easily rectify this...then IMO... it is as good as any Fender precision...any day. [/quote] I was concerned about the lack of a tone control but my worries were unfounded, I reckon Leo got it right. After a little experimenting and blending of the two volumes, I could get all the tonal variations that I wanted.
  6. Have a great day Ladies and Gents, hopefully see you next year.
  7. Impressed with your work but not your choice of footwear for this type of job.
  8. Law breakers deleted Please keep all offers of trades etc to private messages only.
  9. Good plan. Will that be as well as or instead of Strictly?

  11. Happy Jack did a brilliantly helpful tutorial on posture etc. a while back. Can't recall where it is but try a search.
  12. [quote name='fretless bob' timestamp='1474591295' post='3139126'] Is that an ash body? [/quote] It is Bob.
  13. [quote name='Thunderbird' timestamp='1474573082' post='3138974'] The clips just go to the Yahoo sign in page Gary [/quote] Suspected that might be the case, thanks Thunderbird.
  14. A rear view bump [url="https://flic.kr/p/riXpRR"][/url]
  15. Removed from A Vintage Modified P bass. The pick ups are Fender designed and sound great. The pots are crackle free. Input socket is good. All soldering still intact. Complete with all wiring, screws and knobs. £ 50. Price dropped to £45 inc postage. Postage via Royal Mail, 2nd class signed for.

  16. You've been unlucky. Their customer service is very good though, might be worth contacting them and explaining.
  17. [quote name='Duffffy' timestamp='1474370920' post='3137426'] soundclip ? [/quote]e Sorry Tomas I don't have any sound clips. I could do a video clip but not sure that it would provide a decent representation.
  18. [quote name='Hobbayne' timestamp='1474360990' post='3137322'] Strangely enough, Its The Beatles 'Come Together' that irks me. While its not difficult to play, I cant get that slide up to the top D to sound smoothly. [/quote] Know exactly what you mean. At a recent gig I was using a bass with coated strings, that made all the difference
  19. [s]it[/s] it's another bump
  20. I find parts of Long Distance Runaround a bit of a finger tier
  21. [center]My very lovely pre CBS, 1963 Fender P Bass.[/center] [center][url="https://flic.kr/p/MfP6be"][/url][/center] [center]It started life with the Fender see through blonde finish, which was probably removed back in the late sixties. The coating that was applied at the time has protected the wood extremely well.[/center] [center]Hard case is included in the sale, these are becoming very rare, particularly ones in good condition. This one is very good, with all the catches and hinges functioning as they should.[/center] [center]So, looks wise it's not a museum quality instrument but it is a top quality pre CBS Fender, structurally sound, no nasty surprises or damage and is truly a great player.[/center] [center]Anyway, the spec:[/center] [center]Ash body.[/center] [center]Maple neck, with Rosewood fretboard.[/center] [center]Width at nut 42 mm.[/center] [center]Fret board radius 7.25"[/center] [center]All original frets, still in superb condition.[/center] [center]I have recently fitted an original Fender Tort guard from a 59 P bass. This guard is in exceptional condition, with no breaks or cracks and is almost completely flat. It's very rare to find one all intact.[/center] [center]Original ash trays and screws.[/center] [center]Original pots, cabling and pick ups.[/center] [center]All original hardware, with a couple of exceptions, detailed down below.[/center] [center]Non original bits:[/center] [center]The tuner fixing screws are replacement Pure Vintage Fender.[/center] [center]The knobs are replacement, from the Pure Vintage Fender range.[/center] [center]The Hootenanny strap button on the rear of headstock is a replacement from the Pure Vintage Fender range.[/center] [center]The headstock was also over sprayed and therefore the decal still looks great.[/center] [center]This is a lovely instrument to play. The pick ups are warm sounding, very punchy and powerful. With a reading of 11k ohms.[/center] [center]The fret work is impressively good. I've set it up with a low action, which is buzz free.[/center] [center]Truss rod functions perfectly in both directions.[/center] [center]The neck does not suffer from any dead spots.[/center] [center]The fret board is a very attractive, dark piece of timber and is in excellent condition.[/center] [center]I have noticed that if I don't play it for a few days the tone pot crackles a bit. A couple of turns back and forth sort it out, so I'm not considering replacing it. EDIT. Just sprayed this up with Deoxit and it is now completely crackle free [/center] [center]My price is £4,400 or very near offer.[/center] [center]I haven't quoted a postage price, as I would be much prefer any potential purchaser to come on over to my place in Hertfordshire, have a brew, inspect the bass and try it out.[/center] If you don't want to travel and posting is required, then we can discuss the options [url="https://flic.kr/p/Md9Uib"][/url] [url="https://flic.kr/p/MjVmLG"][/url] [url="https://flic.kr/p/Mo6XXV"][/url] [url="https://flic.kr/p/LWgpcq"][/url] [url="https://flic.kr/p/BYxcgx"][/url] [url="https://flic.kr/p/CNCLAZ"][/url] [url="https://flic.kr/p/CVVSi8"][/url] [url="https://flic.kr/p/CG2Tsn"][/url] [url="https://flic.kr/p/D5VVEP"][/url] [url="https://flic.kr/p/DB6zcG"][/url]
  22. [quote name='roger' timestamp='1474184249' post='3136045'] Do you know what type of wood it is? [/quote] Morning Roger. Sorry, should have detailed that in my ad. It is Agathis.
  23. Blimey that is amazing. Someone needs to give it the relic treatment
  24. Another weekend bump up
