Looks just like mine but in slightly better condition - I see you're using flats! I have flats on my P-Bass, but this sounds too good played aggressive fingerstyle with DR Sunbeams and both pickups on full in single coil mode for me to change it!

Why? I know a lot of people bash them but there is still a big market for them and they are £70 - £80 new.
Korg Pandora PX4D portable multi-fx / headphone practice unit, with amp models and fx for bass and guitar. It can take a line in from an iPod, cancel the bass from it, record a clip to slow it down, and it has a drum machine too! Good condition, with manual and batteries, but no belt clip or original box (although it will be sent in a nice replacement box!).

I think that one ended up with me! I love it, it sounds unique. I reckon it could do with a pro setup and some fretwork though, I get fret buzz in certain areas that I can't cure by adjusting the bridge/trussrod. It is 30 years old after all!
That seems to be the going rate I'm afraid! You could always knock up one of these for £3: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=58949"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=58949[/url]
The VM has a bit more grind going on in the upper mids, which I happen to prefer the sound of. I think it has 500k pots instead of the usual 250k that Fender use - so it could be down to that as well as the different pickups. I have a new 62 re-issue pickup about to go in the (2005) Fender - hopefully that should do the trick!
By the way folks, I'll be up in Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire this weekend so can meet on Sunday within the golden triangle of Bedford, Peterborough and Cambridge, or anywhere between there and London!
See if Ou7shined will swap it for the unpainted VT1 he was also selling - that has an input pad control that should let you use the T-40 with it no probs!
Almost brand new, boxed and in perfect condition! I bought it after listening to some great clips of it ([url="http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showthread.php?t=503782"]http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showthread.php?t=503782[/url]), but it drops a bit too much low end for me. Would sound better in a blend loop or by replacing a couple of caps to improve bass response, or just use it with guitar for the classic Jimi Hendrix Fuzz Face sound!

Tempting, and I do want a jazz one day, but right now I need the money as I'm moving house in a few weeks! If you sell the jazz and want to buy, let me know.
I haven't looked into those Dave, but have you considered the South East Bass Bash, 10th October?

Nice - I normally hate gold but that combo looks lush. I would love a second P so that I can have one strung up with rounds and one with flats, but sadly it will have to wait a while as I've just bought one!
