Bought a schaller p pup from Will, no problems, nice easy transaction and quick postage. Jeff

Another talent taken too soon. RIP.

Cheers, job wise its been unreal, out of one into the other! with a week off of course.

Oooh nice :-)

oh it does, dunno what the preamp is but it is LOUD!

Ever since i bought the `Sounds book of the electric guitar` in the early `80`s with the BC Rich Bitch on the cover ive always wanted a BC Rich, then i saw the Rick Derringer album cover for `Guitars and Women` with the flamed maple top Mockingbird and it was like a wow moment that has stayed with me over the years, cut to 3 weeks ago and me being made redundant from my job and very very fortunately walking straight into another job complete with redundo payout! win win!! Fridays browsing through the B/C classifieds and ebay brought nothing that caught my eye but woah whats this on Gumtree, a mint Mockingbird Heritage Classic two emails later and ive arranged a viewing this morning after work. What a beauty it is, i know these arent to everyones tastes but to me theyre a thing of beauty, the previous owner is a member on here but i cant for the life of me remember his user name other than the `200 at the end of it, it has been really well looked after (sorry Chris ive stuck flats on it already ) and it was a pleasure chatting about basses with him. Anyway enough waffle it doesnt exist without pics does it!

Bought an empty 1x10 cab from Tim, cab was exactly as described and quickly posted, top man to deal with. Jeff

Ive got a blue one, cost me £180 theyre a real nice instrument.

So far ive only had it through headphones but its got a lovely range of tones and the neck is a cracker, not far off my Ibanez in shape and feel, got another week to wait before i can get it put through my new amp.

I put my bitsa P up for sale on a local bass players f/b page and got offered this as a straight swap. to be honest i couldnt get the mrs to drive away fast enough!! to my eyes this is a thing of beauty, maple top, esp active pups ahhhh it sounds awesome. it is a keeper!

this was bought by someone on the `north east bass bin` page on facebook and he is quite pleased with it

Heres my current 3 black basses, an Ibanez Sr300, a bitsa P with body bought off Grangur and an Epi V with Hipshot bridge. [URL=http://s80.photobucket.com/user/jeffhop/media/P1060094_zpsde70cdac.jpg.html][IMG]http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j186/jeffhop/P1060094_zpsde70cdac.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

Bought a Hipshot supertone from Rob no problems at all, pleasure to do business with. Jeff

The strings arrived so ive lashed them down onto a newly built p bitsa, 1st impressions when opening the pack, are they rotos? i put one of each side by side and they look and feel very very similar but thats where the similarity ends, once strung on the p (previously strung with a set of Fender flats) i had to raise the saddles and slacken the truss rod a touch as they were dragging on the fretboard, theyre lower tension than the similar gauge fender which are in turn lower than rotos, win win as far as im concerned, they feel very nice like most flats do. Sound wise, not quite as bright as the Fenders probably due to the tension but perfectly acceptable and theyre certainly not as dull and thuddy as either status or picato. Would I buy more, damn right i would for the price i think theyre a winner!
