  1. Bought a beautiful bass off Simon and all was well. I have known this gent for some years and he is a top chap, so I am happy to add to the universally positive feedback
  2. Hi Frank, its £1400 including UK delivery (I generally use UPS) or £25 less if collected from me in Hammersmith area, London. Roughly £500 discount on new
  3. Back up FS as I need to fund a bass that has come up FS that I have hankered after for many moons. New pics here (PS, I have removed stick on dot decals on neck and will polish off the residue from the ebony board before sale!)
  4. I have a gently used vgc set of the much-praised Pirastro Perpetuals which I would like to trade for a similarly vgc set of Spiro 3/4 Solo strings. Any interest folks? For avoidance of doubt, I am only interested in the 3/4 Solo set (not Weichs, Mittels etc) as I love the tension and playability of this particular set on my bass. Ta!
  5. I would much prefer a straight sale but would entertain a px against a relatively light (9lb or less) US (or JV) Precision in sunburst/black/dakota or fiesta red which I could have as a backup for those situations where you simply must have a P bass - or alternatively I could just sell on (as I am much more into short scale these days). I have cut the price of my bass a long way so would expect any trade offer to be similarly 'fair'. Plus I am picky, so please don't be offended if I say no!
  6. I have now fashioned a box so its £1250 plus the relevant Interparcel/UPS delivery cost to UK or ex-UK For the avoidance of doubt (due to string changes mentioned above), it will be sold with D'Addario nickel rounds 45-105
  7. ^^^ £1250 for a 1986 Fender Reissue Jazz with stacked pots and in a super rare finish. Has to be good value?
  8. £1250 collected now (another £100 price drop), to get this moved on since my love affair with Jazz basses is over. Would also post under normal circumstances but don't currently have a box large enough to fit the Fender hardcase in
  9. Very cool and one day I will persuade Jack to sell me that beautiful Lull 😂
  10. I currently have a '71 Fender Mustang (covers all rock/blues/Americana territory), an ACG Recurve 32" (plays itself and has very flexible active preamp, great for recording) and a Takamine TB10 (archtop fretless bass, great DB substitute). Plus my 3/4 old German DB. I also have a 62RI Jazz and Gretch hollowbody bass that are - to be frank - surplus to requirements as the three (electric) basses mentioned above are all I realistically need
  11. Fraid the seller hasnt been on BC since January 24, so I guess he sold here or elsewhere
  12. I have recorded at Reservoir Studios with Chris Clarke (producer; also bassist for Danny and The Champions of the World and for bluegrass outfit Foghorn Leghorn). Chris plays DB so will be sympathetic to recording. Reservoir is near Finsbury Park so more NE London. If you contact him, please mention Clarky ex All The Queens Ravens recommended him https://www.reservoirstudios.co.uk/contact
  13. I think my major issue is that I am no longer comfortable with the Jazz body shape and weight PS in an effort to see if I can find a way to get more comfortable with this bass I swapped to D'Addario nickel rounds 45-105. Still not feeling right though after playing my Mustang. I can leave these strings on or swap for TI flats or D'Addario black nylon flats

    Mustangs!

    My '71 in action last week
  15. Band renamed Beneath The Roses after universally bad feedback (The Chokeholds sounds a "bit rapey" being one such from a teen son of band member; another suggested that its emblematic of US police brutality). New website https://beneaththeroses.net/ Will fix Soundcloud asap
  16. My new band renamed to Beneath The Roses, as feedback on The Chokeholds was that it was too reminiscent of sexual violence and US police brutality. And that isn't good!

  17. First gig with my '71 Mustang reminded me of why I now much prefer short scale. So this beauty goes back up for sale, even if it takes some time. Incidentally, its now wearing Thomastik JF344 flats. £1350 collected
  18. OK, after further cogitation, I am not withdrawing this bass per se but I am in no particular hurry to sell as my cowpunk band may go 'more country' (TBD in next month or so) and as I am only willing to hand over (rather than post). So if you can meet me in London and are willing to come very close to my asking price let's talk. Otherwise I will hang on and see which direction my new band heads in the New Year!
