    It is indeed still about!

    I had a very similar rig before I downsized - the same cab with an EVO II head. Sounded huge and would've kept it if I could.

    Hadn't noticed it was that seller from Cologne until you mentioned. He also seems to have the same body listed again but 200 quid cheaper. What a strange shop! That said he does seem to get some very unique instruments in

    In the sellers own words "refinished in a see through poop brown" What?! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1969-FENDER-PRECISION-BASS-BODY-made-in-USA-/124814968078?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286&mkrid=710-127635-2958-0

    They were indeed yours! Yes a not too dissimilar issue here, hopefully another BCer can put them to good use.

    Wish I had a spare two grand

    Wow what is going on there - have they put in a new nut and bridge? That must feel very strange to play.

    Love this as an idea. Nothing comes to mind right now but I know there are countless times where I've wondered 'what exactly did they just play'? Or even 'what does that tone, that sounds so great as part of a mix, sound isolated?'

    For sale is one Bergantino AE112 cab in very good condition with cover that has a couple scuffs as you can see. Lovely sounding cab, I bought this after a long time off from playing and was amazed at what was coming out of such a small box. It's really stupidly light and portable. Impressive bass response and projects well, very detailed, I just prefer something more 'old school' sounding! Basic specs as follows: 8 Ohms Rated to 300W RMS, 14KG 40cm x 47cm x 38cm I'd prefer a straight sale but am thinking of putting together a 60s inspired Jazz so I'd consider a trade for a nice nitro body/neck/pickups/vintage style tuners/bits with cash in the right direction. Happy to get some cardboard and box it as well as I can if buyer arranges a courier. Alternatively collection from Lewisham, SE London.

    Excellent set of flatwound strings, I have now realised I prefer lighter gauges. Had very very little use by myself, I bought these from another BCer a while back who also barely used them. Cut for 4 in line P-Bass style. Long Scale. £26 posted

    Great cabs these. Someone's getting a bargain

    That item description like playing The Sun bingo: 'Even the walk on girls at the darts are banned now' 😆
  13. Welshbassist
    What a great idea
  14. Welshbassist
    Those tapewounds with the Fralins do sound rather tasty

    I've got one of these, also SQ serial and I can confirm the instrument, but especially the neck, is indeed something special. I would also not change any parts, but if you do be sure to include the originals. Very pleased with mine

    Hi all - please leave feedback below, cheers.

    Just bought some strings from Peter, arrived speedily and as described. No issues at all. Thanks!

    Mama mia...

    Strangely enough upon first viewing I hadn't noticed it was only the body for sale. Not to say the seller hasn't made that clear I just hope any bidders don't make the same mistake. It just struck me as an usual example of a vintage guitar particularly given the contouring work and the low bids so far. Full disclosure I know absolutely nothing of 50s basses to say if this it legit or not. Was just curious about other opinions! The main thing I wanted to know was if it was normal for these basses to have pencilled in dates? I know 60s ones seem to have have ink ones which tend to be quite worn out. These strike me as quite clear. Then again if I was trying to pass something off as older than it really is I would at least smudge it a bit. Not casting doubt just genuinely curious

    https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/174748193568?hash=item28afcdd320:g:3HsAAOSwTF1gh90l This is a curious listing. The seller seems to sell loads of vintage gear - including has recently sold a set of tuners for over a grand, and a Beatles first pressing for a similar amount. The bass itself looks ancient - I particularly enjoy the home made contouring The penciled in dates at the neck pocket and heel seem to have held up rather well in comparison to the rest of the instrument...

    Great amps, I own a similar Evo II model and it sounds ace
  22. Welshbassist
    Price now reduced to 430!
  23. Welshbassist
    Yep!
  24. Welshbassist
    I swear they do get played on occasion on 6 Music

    Thanks for all the help with this. After a bit more reading on various forums I decided to replace with a new cap. I figured it would take to the glue slightly better as the edge on the old one was slightly frayed. Bought some sureloc cyanoacrylate adhesive from an audio equipment site. Bit more expensive but worth it for the peace of mind I was definitely getting the right stuff IMO. Once I removed the old one it was immediately apparent that it was the dust cap causing the issue. Really pleased with how it turned out, sounds and looks great.
