A very happy outcome.

Looks great

I always use Paisley Freight for basses, cabs and amps. http://www.paisleyfreight.com/ Have been reliable and so far have always delivered on time and with no damage.

Form a queue behind me ladies and gents and I will forward it on to the next on the list.

Will do

That looks great, what a pleasing find for you

I would very much like to be top of the queue, thanks.

I know David and he's a stand up guy, and there's probably a bit of wiggle room on price. It really is an investment quality piece.

Good advice from the Chilmiester I agree that it is overpriced, although I guess it depends just how good it feels to play. If I found a 66 P that was a refin but sympathetically done, I could live with it, so long as everything else was good and most importantly it played well. I would probably be willing to pay about half the price of an all original example, so nearer to £2,000.

Welcome back Pete, you're in the right place

Just learnt one of his numbers for a recent gig.

Well done Mick, look forward to seeing you there.

Do you mean an artificially reliced instrument or a naturally road worn example? I've only had the natural variety and I still treat them in exactly the same caring fashion as I would a brand new unblemished example. Having said that, I guess it wouldn't be so upsetting if one of my already worn models did pick up some new marks.

[quote name='Sausages' timestamp='1453926863' post='2964388'] Out of interest, how do you older guys (older age bracket, not older than me ) get on with finding people to play with; I am struggling a bit. [/quote] It can be difficult. If I look at ads put up by players of my sort of vintage (50's) they almost always seem to be blues, classic rock or very middle of the road, none of which interest me.

I need to get myself along to one of these sort of geek fests Looks great and some lovely kit on show.

[quote name='Jazzneck' timestamp='1452108742' post='2946559'] Oi certainly do Mr.Gary Mac! I went for about 30 years doing the day job with short, neatly trimmed hair and no sidies then, just prior to retirement in 2010 a couple of photos, including this one, were discovered and my sons and colleagues dared me to grow them again. So I did....and b*ll*cks to the lot of you! Yesterday I went to the barbers for a tidy up and I will admit that even after the haircut, my hair and sidies are longer today than they are in that photo. However, all is now silver and grey, a small area of thinning at the back of the scalp and the length of the sidies has increased on account of the fact that the curvature around my face has increased due to serious fatness. [/quote] Good for you, what's the point in growing old sensibly My area of thinning at the back is expanding at a fair old rate, almost as quickly as the bloody stuff grows in my ears

That is a great pic. Don't you still have those side burns Mr. Jazzneck?

Shonks, I've moved this to GD. For what it's worth, I think sellers should put a location, particularly if it is collection only. My feeling is that it should not be mandatory though.

Good advice from ras52 but it wouldn't be natural to stay out of the Market place Welcome to the forum and to the world of bass, enjoy your journey.

You promised not to tell.

What Discreet said, including the gross bit
