    Body from a Made in USA Fender Precision Highway One Bass. The wood is Alder and weighs approx. 4lbs. These came with a nitro finish, and this one is in matte black. This is more than a little 'roadworn'. This effect largely came from simply rubbing cellulose thinner on the nitro finish (no sanding was involved!). Although there are many others dings and knocks, which I've tried to capture in the photos. Luckily the majority of messing around was done on the back. Might be of interest to someone who wants to completely remove the black finish or who is ok with it the way it is. As shown in the photo with the pickguard (which is not included, but for sale separately), it looks a lot better when the screw holes are in use. Any questions, please ask!

    [quote name='mattyb' timestamp='1418115086' post='2626876'] That is tempting! The 4 or 5 hours travelling up and down is not though... When you say it wasn't very versatile, was it just always crunchy with only being 100 watts? [/quote] I'm definitely not an expert (or anywhere near it) on amps, but I just felt there wasn't a huge range of sounds available from it. I've always preferred Ampegs as well, so maybe I'm biased. Also, it's not on all tube amp, so it didn't have that classic tube sound. Don't underestimate the weight of this thing. It was a pain to get around, even in it's flight case. I'm sure he might be open to meeting you half way. He was a nice guy, and I remember he used to just go all over the country buying bass related bits.

    I used to own this exact amp!! I liked it, although didn't find it very versatile, and it weighed a tonne. I'm sure you'd get him down on that price, by at least €100 IIRC!!

    Here you go. Sorry about the glare...(edit)...and the huge photo! Struggling on mobile! [IMG]http://i1249.photobucket.com/albums/hh504/pobrien_ie/2014-09-06161129_zps02285c05.jpg[/IMG]

    Hi, To my eyes at least, it looks to be from the 57/58 to 64 era. It seems to look idenitcal to a set I bought that purported to be from that era. Paddy

    Gary answered my item wanted ad for a 12 string bass. He was great to deal with and completely honest about the strengths of limitations of his 12 string bass, which I've since bought. The bass was in excellent condition, it arrived quickly and was very well packed. I'd highly recommend Gary to anyone on BC. Cheers, Paddy

    This is a little bit delayed, but I'm a very happy repeat customer of John's. I needed another set of vintage repro pickups and pots wired up back in July, and John was my first and only port of call. He did a great job and made it fool proof for me to install. I also took the opportunity to get one of John's renowned solderless kits for another P Bass project. I was really happy with this. A top job all round. I can't recommend John highly enough.
  9. pobrien_ie
    Funny, not a single word about the bass in the description.

    I just sold some tuners to Tony. It was a quick and smooth transaction. I'd highly recommend Tony to anyone.
  11. pobrien_ie
    They're the Fender manufactured ones (or at least they came in Fender packaging) and they won't sit flush unless the small extra holes are bored. These are the ones that come on American Vintage basses.

    [quote name='Rowley Birkin QC' timestamp='1386331655' post='2298826'] Hi Paddy, Can you tell me how old the pickups are and where they originated, might be interested in these. Cheers Rowley [/quote] Hi, I bought them brand new, in about April of 2012 IIRC. They are the ones that are now branded as 'Original' pickups. They were previosuly called the 'Original 62' pickups. Cheers, Paddy

    For sale are a set of Fender Precision 62 Reissue Pickups that are fully wired as per the correct 1962 spec. These are priced much cheaper than the sum of their parts. Included are the pickups, brass plate, cloth wiring, CTS pots, switchcraft jack and repro ceramic capacitor. These are mroe period correct than the those found in the stock '62 AVRI. The wiring was done for me by KiOgan. Ready to plug and play! any questions, just ask.

    Withdrawn - gone to ebay auction.
  19. pobrien_ie
    Worth noting that this appears to be a '62 Reissue MIJ, and a lovely one at that. Have a bump!
  20. pobrien_ie
    Maybe you're just more proficient with a pick. I know I was that way for a long time, although I think it's swung the other way now.
  21. pobrien_ie
    No problem, and thanks for getting back to me. Good luck with the sale!

    [quote name='LiamPodmore' timestamp='1379020872' post='2207961'] I forget how talented Jack Black is on a regular basis. [/quote] In fairness, it's easy to forget considering the amount of crap he's done since I think he's great in Tenacious D and the like, but the more serious and kids movie sides don't do a lot for me.
  23. pobrien_ie
    Hi. Would you be willing to sell the cab on its own? Cheers, Paddy
  24. pobrien_ie
    Hi. If still available, I'll take for the asking price. Cheers, Paddy
  25. pobrien_ie
    I contacted the seller in the auction I mentioned above asking what happened. He immediately wanted me to make an offer. I hope the real winner leaves genuine feedback.
