  1. Thanks. I shall go and edit it now then.
  2. I'm probably being thick here, but should my old signature appear when I turn this back on again? Were old signatures carried over? I've set the signature slider to on (after posting this thread), but nothing's appeared (and I don't want to just create a random post to test it!).
  3. I know. Rather embarrassingly, I just found it via a google search in, erm, about two seconds. It’s been a long week... 😅
  4. Have you got any more info on what’s original? I know it’s a (very nice) refin paint job, and you mentioned that 3 frets had been replaced, but has anything else been replaced? Pickguard, pups, pots, wiring etc? Also, do you know the story behind the crack near the headstock? I’m assuming that it’s a long standing thing and is rock solid but wanted to check. Having a real hard think about this, so I’d appreciate any more info (the original sales thread refers to another thread with all the details in, but I couldn’t find that one). Thanks.
  5. That's absolutely stunning (as are the others in your pic). Congrats - lovely basses.
  6. I really liked my Spirit, so much so that I bought the big brother model, the Synapse. I travel a lot with work and the Spirit / Synapse is dead easy to lug around. Rock solid design, and stays in tune forever. I bought one of those little Vox plug-in headphone amps, and all is good when I'm away from home. I put a set of La Bella flats on mine (only about £25 from BassDirect), and it sounds great to me.
  7. I love the lyrics to Sympathy for the Devil by the Stones... pretty much a history lesson in a single song (and a typically wonky-but-works-perfectly bassline by Mr Wyman). Probably my favourite song of all time is That's Entertainment by the Jam. Perfect slice of English working class life, mundane and dreaming about better things. I remember Weller writing about it, after someone had said it was his finest work to date, and he explained that he wrote it in about 10 minutes after coming back from the pub, full of beer! Special mentions to Summertime Blues by Eddie Cochran and These Foolish Things, the Bryan Ferry version. Both great lyrics, and Eddie Cochran was only 20 when he (co-)wrote it. Oh, and Girl Afraid by the Smiths summed up me at 17, dying to ask out a girl I knew but never having the courage to do it. Nothing ever happened, and years later she told me she'd felt exactly the same at the time...
  8. Probably feedback from 512 previous deals where I’ve “finally found a bass which is a keeper” only to sell it at a loss a month later ?
  9. Yeah, hurry up and fix this free forum that you support in your own personal time for no reward, eh?
  10. Ignore this - I found it. For anyone in the same situation, it appears that the search function doesn't find your feedback, so you have to manually search through the Feedback thread for your user name. It's all present and correct though.
  11. I just completed a very smooth and friendly trade with Stephen (my US Fender PJ for his StingRay 4). We met at a convenient Starbucks, had a coffee and a chat, checked over the basses, and both left happy. Really smooth trade from start to finish. The StingRay is immaculate - this is a guy who really looks after his kit, and a nice guy to meet and have a chat with. Hope the PJ works out for you mate!
  12. This is now traded. Thanks for all the interest.
  13. I know that this has been asked before, but the reply was along the lines of "we're just switching over to the new forum software, give it a while". I still can't find my feedback - has it gone for good or is it hidden away somewhere? Can any of our lovely mods point me in the right direction? I've just traded a bass and I'm expecting some feedback to be left soon, so I want to make sure it goes in the right place Thanks in advance.
  14. Billy bargain! Cracking looking bass for not a lot of money.
  15. Thanks for all the nice comments chaps...
  16. I seem to have accumulated a few "extra" basses recently, so I'm going to move one or two on. First up is this lovely Fender US PJ, which I picked up in a recent trade. It's actually a 2008 US Precision, and has had a matching Fender Jazz pickup professionally (luthier) fitted, and blocks fitted at the same time. These aren't peel off stickers, this is a proper nice pro job. Bass is in very good condition - I can't see any marks on it. Neck feels really nice - quite thin front to back, and typical P bass width. Truss rod works as it should, and it's currently strung with Chromes. With the P bass pups alone, it sounds like a proper P bass. Ditto if you solo the Jazz pup, you get a typical Jazz sound. Both on, and you get a nice blend. Excuse the terrible pics - they were taken directly under lights, so there are plenty of reflections and dust showing. Don't worry, these aren't dinks. Doesn't come with a case, but I think (I'll check tomorrow) I have a spare gig bag that can go with it. but I've found a nice quality gig bag that it can go in. Price wise, it owes me £750, which is what I'll sell it for. US P basses alone go for more than this, and with the pro fitted extras, I think it's a decent buy for someone. Collect from Warwick / Leamington / Banbury / Solihull. If courier delivery is required, I’ll pack it up carefully and you can arrange your preferred courier to collect Only trades I'd consider would be a Thunderbird, a Yamaha BB1200 / BB 2000 or a Stingray, as I'm really trying to stop acquiring basses I won't use! Any questions, fire away! Edit: Found a nice gig bag that it can go in.
  17. This is a bargain! If Rich is selling it, it'll be immaculate. I just picked up a similar lightweight Tecamp rig from him, and it was like new...
  18. [quote name='itsmedunc' timestamp='1510007692' post='3403280'] I'm going to crumble if this doesn't go soon. Mrs itsmedunc will have an eppy. Please somebody save me! [/quote] You know it's inevitable... Total bargain this.
  19. Just traded my Eden Metro combo (verrrrry heavy) with Rich's Tecamp rig (verrrrry light) in one of those dodgy-looking-meet-on-a-service-station-carpark deals! Really nice guy to talk to, looks after his kit too - the Tecamp is just like new. Great to put a face to a name, too. Cheers Rich. Happy gigging with the Metro, and watch your back when you move it Mark.
  20. [quote name='itsmedunc' timestamp='1509134906' post='3396990'] I'm sort of sad it's gone! Kept on thinking about buying it. I loved mine... Someone is going to be happy though! [/quote] It's pretty much the complete combo, I reckon. I'll be sad to see it go, but it's just not getting used by me now. Any hurry up and sell that Selmer Twin before I buy something I really really don't need
  21. Now traded. Thanks for the interest 👍
  22. A fellow member (thanks Dunc) pointed out to me that the shipping may not be as expensive as I originally thought. They just shipped an Ampex 2x10 to the south of France for £18 with this company: https://www.wedelivertheworld.co.uk So, maybe check out the rates for Poland through these guys.
  23. [quote name='jarox200' timestamp='1509121048' post='3396840'] Is it possible to sell to Poland? [/quote] I would think that the postage cost would be pretty high to Poland. However if you’re willing to arrange insured shipping, I can pack it up for transportation.
  24. PMs replies to. Happy to ship this too.
