    Bump with some details. We will be onstage just after 10pm and have a roughly half hour set. Its a good cause as all the evening's profits go to Medecins Sans Frontieres' Typhoon appeal

    Thanks! You can get the live experience too (as I see you are from London) as we are playing the Old Queen's Head in Islington next Wednesday, onstage just after 10pm. Its a good cause too as all the evening's profits go to Medecins Sans Frontieres' Typhoon appeal

    [quote name='dougal' timestamp='1384505278' post='2277375'] I keep coming back to this one. Sadly all I have to offer in trade is a winning smile and a bass that cannot be named on this forum. Neither of which are on your trades list. [/quote] Hey Dougal! A winning smile is always a good thing but in this case I would prefer a fat envelope full of readies rather than one of those basses that cannot be named!

    Sorry for the OP's expensive troubles. I had no issues at all with Olivs apart from tuning stability. They play and sound utterly wonderful, the nicest strings of all to my ears. I now have Velvet Animas which do a passable impersonation and are less variable but am tempted to slap on an Oliv G again

    Did you say temptation? [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0NdJFmyLmMo"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0NdJFmyLmMo[/url]

    I have had a lowball offer in Euros with shared shipping so I just want to make some points clear: 1. If its a non-UK sale, the shipping is extra and paid by the buyer (likely about £60 to mainland Europe) 2. The price is in £ (pounds) and if a non-UK buyer wishes to make an offer, that person has to pay me in £ (ie, they take the currency exchange rate risk, not me) For a quick deal I will accept £1500 with handover in central London. I won't go lower as I have no pressing need to sell right now

    [quote name='blinddrew' timestamp='1383933022' post='2271050'] I've got one of those but it really struggles with the lower two strings. Somewhat amazingly the tuner app that I downloaded for my phone actually works really well. [/quote] I have to rely on the octave harmonic with my E string and my Snark clip-on tuner

    That pic makes we want an SG bass

    [quote name='lozbass' timestamp='1384365428' post='2275772'] This is such a beautiful bass and I was tempted in the past - I too had assumed/read 1.5" for the nut. I seem to feel a need for a Precision just now - I've had loads and never got on with them but there's a timeless rock'n'roll coolness to the design (unlike me) [/quote] Cheers Loz! I'll do you a good deal against your Brown bass Yes I know thats a non-starter!

    [font=Arial][size=2] [/size][/font] [size=3][font=Arial]The full unexpurgated version for those unable to link. Its like haiku, except longer and crapper:[/font] [font=Arial]"As the beginning of an electric base Although it is the born precision base, The design and specification which were completed are the present. It can be said that all the electric bases were affected. One of arrival of goods is one were manufactured at the first half of the 70s this time, The CBS head logo of the feature of the specification of the 70s, a natural ash body, Neck Shape of the thin figure of the nut width of B Shape, etc. It is characteristic specification. There is a statement of neck. It is easy to grasp a slender neck, and it is easy to flip it and it has become, Even if again had from JazzBass, sense of incongruity is seldom felt. It is easy to be an omission which consists of a 1P maple neck with a thin figure. In a large-boned base sound."[/font][/size]

    Martin just bought a Markbass cab from me. His feedback speaks for itself. Excellent deal like all the others before me

    Best of luck Nige, unfortunately I have band practice tonight so cannot be there

    Oh pants, fingers crossed. I was a big fan back in the (70s) day. This calls for some Strangers in the Night (and my favourite - and longest! - Michael Schenker solo) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n0OatiI5XcE

    I have a MIni CMD121P as well. Its a good quality, very easily transportable amp with decent EQ and gives a nice warm sound with a Full Circle but is slightly coloured. At the volumes my band plays this does not bother me, given the advantages. At lower volumes, Acoustic Image gives the most uncoloured 'true' representation of a DB in my opinion (I have the Ten2 combo) but I find it struggles and loses that clarity as the volume level rises (and its not that loud in any case). I had an EA Micro amp which also worked well and reminded me a lot of Acoustic Image. I think there will always be compromise with amplifying a DB, its just a question of finding the best compromise that works for you and your band. For me, thats the CMD121P and for lower volume gigs I have the MarkBass 2x8 combo, the new 802 model (which has no EQ section, just filters). TBH, the latter is a luxury as the 121P covers it all and is not that much bigger/heavier

    Also I guess people's idea of aesthetics do change over the decades [attachment=148092:1970s-Bell-Bottom-Trends-for-Men.jpg]

    [quote name='ash' timestamp='1384091446' post='2272604'] This was mine at one point, it's a nice bass despite all the knobs! He bought it off me for a bit less than that but it's still a fair price. [/quote] No offence meant Ash! Can't help think the luthier who modded what is a rather lovely black/maple fretless could have been more discreet/clever with the wiring and pots

    [quote name='bassmasta2b' timestamp='1384038622' post='2272279'] Maybe a Roscoe LG 3000 ? [/quote] Hi there, thanks for the offer but I would prefer a sale or - failing that - one of the trades mentioned in post 6 above PS, thanks for comments Dingus and ChiliWailer. If you like a 1.75" nut width you will like this bass a lot, sadly my left hand just aches when I play it for more than a few minutes

    Couldn't spot a thread so started a new one. Adam bought a couple of bass books from me. All good, very friendly, quick payment etc. Nice one mate!
  22. Clarky
    That is a seriously gorgeous bass with wonderful provenance!

    Sorry for now will look to a straight sale. The only p/x I can think of that would float my boat would be a CIJ Fender PB70-US, the 70s Precision with a B width neck (1.625") in oly white. Or trade +/- cash for a B-width early 1970s US Fender P in sunburst or oly white (rosewood neck only) or a Rob Allen Mouse fretless. A bit specific

    No worries, Jas! In the words of the Flashing Blade, its better to have fought and lost than never fought at all
