[quote name='andydye' timestamp='1390124192' post='2341587'] ...is that the easiest way to fly to the usa with a bass then? Buy it there? I like that idea! This is a total bargain bass btw! [/quote] Heres the story: I have a genuine 1971 Jazz in the Geddy spec. At the time, it was in pieces and in need of a respray. We had a bit of downtime and went to the shop for a mooch. They had a 72 in the same spec as mine. I played it through a couple of the amps they had set up. A salesman appeared and came out with some line like: "Great tone, its a combination of that Bass and the amp" (think it was an SVT). I got all uppity and reminded him that tone is also in the players hands. To prove my point, I took the Geddy off the wall and a/b'd it with the '72. Very close in tone and the Geddy felt and played better. The '72 was $4500, the Geddy was $700. It was a no brainer. Getting it home was easy: Took the neck off then put the lot in a folded over gigbag which I took on as hand luggage. I've brought a stack of basses to and from from the states, never been stopped or questioned.... -

[u][b]SOLD****CIJ Circa 2002-4 Fender Geddy Lee signature Jazz Bass.[/b] [b]SOLD*****[/b][/u] [b]All original, in used condition, has marks and scrapes. Bought by myself from Chicago Music Exchange in 2011, this was my touring Bass in the 'States, (its actually the Bass in my avatar). Lovely skinny neck with super low action, usual Jazz trademarks with that wiry, growly tone. Looking for around £450, may be tempted to trade for something that stirs my interest. Based outside Liverpool, happy to post at buyers expense.[/b] [b]I have extra pics showing marks on the body that I am unable to upload here. PM your email and I'll send them to anyone interested. Cheers.[/b]

Horrid looking Kay bass guitars
mart3442 replied to Annoying Twit's topic in eBay - Weird and Wonderful
Unfortunately, my first Bass was a late '70's Kay Precision copy. These Basses have NOTHING going for them. Its a miracle I carried on playing. My friends landlord bought the exact same model in the first picture, as an "Investment". Oh dear...... -

Akai Head Rush E2, 3 modes: Delay, tape delay and looping record. Standard input/outputs plus a further 5 effect outs, enabling the user to send signal to 5 amps simultaneously...Very trippy. Variable level and time in looper mode gives the user the ability to loop multiple overdubs. Also includes the usual "Tap tempo" option. Runs from a 9v power supply, has velcro strips from use with my pedal. Used condition but fully functional. £80 ono +£8 postage.

Cheapest place to buy a P/J Jazz bass body in Black?
mart3442 replied to bkman42's topic in Repairs and Technical
Try AGC Customs on ebay. They knock used and old stock parts. I bought a black P body off 'em for less than £40....(thats 40, not 400!). -
I had the same issue with a lovely '78 P Bass. Rod was fine but the neck would react to temperature changes and bow backwards. I had it clamped and steamed once or twice which temporarily solved the problem, but in the end, it had to go. Its worth your while going to a decent Luthier to see what they may be able to do....

Hope it was his decision. My association with Andy goes back to the days when he was working for Kent Armstrong, when Kent moved back to the 'States, he recommended Andy as his natural successor to all his customers. Andy got off to a great start as not only was his work on a par with Kents, (as you would expect, having worked alongside him for all those years) but he was also cheaper and remained cheaper than the majority of the competition until he retired. I mean: A J Bass vintage SET for the price of ONE pickup from certain other UK companies...... Good luck Andy, enjoy your retirement.
