Nibody

Say hello to the triplets. My two Allparts/MIM bitsers and MIJ 62 RI with Photoflame finish... One in the middle is a work in progress. Going to get 62RI pickups and Gotoh 201 (same as the one on the left). The two bitsers are so good Im considering moving on the 62RI.

Looks legit to me. Pots could have been replaced.

Cruddy iPhone picture, but this is my latest. Hit by the realisation that what I would like would be beyond what I could afford/justify, built it myself. Went for the "Bruce Foxton" look. Allparts type neck (was a factory second due to a mineral stain on the reverse) with 70's fender logo and 70's style necklpate (I intend to put a joke serial on this of 301306 which would be a 71 P, 13/06 being my birthdate in that year - not to mislead anyone - just because I cant afford a YOB Bass!!), Black MIM "Genuine Fender Spares" body (cavitys all shielded out with copper tape), 70's style tuners from (I believe) Steve Harris sig bass, Gotoh 201 bridge, 3 ply BWB pickguard, Fender 62 RI Pickups, and cloth wired (to match the pickups) CTS pots (500k's though I may swap them out for 250's at some point), sprague 0.1uf capacitor and Switchcraft Socket. The neck is sprayed with Amber tint Nitro - wasnt quite the light Amber I was expecting (more like an extra from "The only Way is Essex..") but it works. Plays great, sounds great, and a quarter of the cost of buying a decent nick 1971 P.

Or even the fact its a Thunderbird IV not a Classic Pro IV? Dont the Classic Pro IV have the jack socket on the edge of the body, not the front which the bass in the post appears to have? Epiphone Thunderbird IV Classic Pro IV Tbird Pro IV

If it wasnt so damn far away I'd be all over it as a backup to my Ampeg.

Someones school project I'd guess

last month a Roadster RB900 (I THINK.. the one with the single humbucker) was up near me and whent for peanuts. Had no cash. This month have had a clearout and not a sniff..

Ibby Roadstar (Looks like a Blazer) [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/141111427730?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649"]http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/141111427730?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649[/url] day to go, no bids, £120

Not sure, but I had the opposite problem with my Korean Epi T - the original pickups were and still are horrifcally low output. They're not active ones are they?

Ah Right cheers. Have a few things up at the moment and that made me nervous!!

Who was the buyer mate?

Might be a nice sounding beast. Depends whether you want it to play or hang on a wall and admire I suppose. What I hate is these companies that must break up vintage fenders to sell as parts.

Suprised by the above. Just done a deal with stevie for some Tuners which has gone just fine. I've had dealings with him before and never experienced any issues, he's a good bloke.

[sub]I so wanted this. But I'd just bought a new Fender replacement body and Im broke. Been after one for ages.[/sub]

Its nice. I'll give it that. Just not £12k nice.

Its a howling stream of feedback waiting to happen, thats what it is...

Same as the body on my Maya P bass. But still not worth £80

Im waiting till bruce posts hisa talent on ebay...

[quote name='bluejail' timestamp='1380353998' post='2224084'] Hi Yesterday i started new topic ' Made in Japan' badged jazz bass copy in order to identify a jazz bass copy I bought recently from a pawnshop. Then i came across this topic which I think is the right place to put a link with pics in. If anybody knows what is it pls let me know Cheers [url="http://s1249.photobucket.com/user/bluejail/slideshow/Made%20in%20Japan%20jazz%20bass%20copy"]http://s1249.photobu...z%20bass%20copy[/url] [/quote] Tuners are the same as a Maya but the Maya headstocks are more fendery

Its one of the Sattelite fixed neck P's

Yeh I have a copy of that too Stu. It looks like it was featured in the exhibition so dunno. Wheres Alan from Black Rose when you need him!

His mum has his black P/J, It does look like the Killer On The Loose video bass but got the impression they were just cheapo's handed to the band to use in the video. Big on my Lizzy and I havent seen a picture of him playing that bass. Sure its a nice bass and all but its not like its one of his black P's or the Ibby RB900's he used.

Used to ba a Bass Center under the arches near where there used to be a Musical Exchanges... I think both are now gone. PMT is ok
