  1. [quote name='Radioface' timestamp='1318853510' post='1406827'] I'm interested in getting a PJB Cub but I want to try one before I take the plunge. It's quite a lot of money just to take a punt on but there aren't any stockists out here in farming country. I'm hoping it will be pokey enough for me to use in duo gigs where my partner in crime has an acoustic guitar. Maybe a bargain second hand one is the way to go... [/quote] If I were you I'd drop Legion a PM. he just bought my virtually-new Cub

    bass cases

    [quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1318841197' post='1406606'] Anyone got a [url="http://www.calderoriginals.com/"]Calder[/url]? [/quote] Flippin' Nora! £4200 for a guitar case. Yowza
  3. [quote name='Ou7shined' timestamp='1318852678' post='1406795'] I thought only MIM basses had this. [/quote] IIRC I have had US and Japanese Fenders with below-scratchplate holes (not 100% sure on the latter but defo on the US)
  4. Those holes are commonplace on Fenders. Not entirely sure what they are there for (maybe for supporting the body when its being sprayed?) but, worry not, yours is not 'wrong'
  5. [quote name='Mr Bassman' timestamp='1318808019' post='1406490'] Has this not gone yet? At this price it's a steal! [/quote] Thanks Keith, have had an offer which i am thinking about (have PM'd you too) Edit: I have accepted the offer
  6. My duo of lovelies. An original '60s Ampeg Baby Bass and a Kolstein Busetto 'La Faro' travel bass [attachment=91389:DB pair.jpg]
  7. This is posted already in the basses for sale forum but I assume some DB players wouldn't be scouring that. Hence I am adding the link here. Hope thats OK mods? Here's the link: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/157967-fs-takamine-b10-fretless-l1200%3B-collection-from-london-preferred-due-to-fragilitysize/page__pid__1405725#entry1405725"]http://basschat.co.u...25#entry1405725[/url]
  8. [quote name='Higgie' timestamp='1318737820' post='1405691'] Clarky you've got every right to be proud mate. Absolutely perfect tone, intonation and feel! Love the tune too, really refreshing after hearing some of the absolute drivel polluting the airwaves at the moment. Well done! [/quote] Thanks Higgie! Appreciate the kind words
  9. Proper sized picture of the bass in its case: [attachment=91365:post-143-1313613524.jpg]
  10. [attachment=91364:post-143-1313613436.jpg] [attachment=91361:post-143-1313612861.jpg] [attachment=91362:post-143-1313613376.jpg] [attachment=91363:post-143-1313613411-1.jpg]
  11. I am looking to sell my Takamine B10 fretless acoustic bass. I recently got this from Mr_Bassman (Keith) and its an absolute thing of beauty but recent events (written about on BC elsewhere) have caused me to examine what I really need in my bass gear and what is there just because its plain lovely. This falls into the second camp as I prefer my 'real' DB (Kolstein) for true acoustic tone and I have my Fender and AC basses for convenience/portability. The B10 nevertheless does a wonderful impersonation of a DB and can be played horizontally or upright on a solid brass end-pin (I show a great video below to demonstrate this). Played upright: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fn5cGelK0GU[/media] Played horizontally: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-6cGsXa5Puo&feature=related[/media] I would like £1200 for it, collected in London (as I don't trust the postal service even though it has a good solid case) Here's a picture of my bass: [attachment=91358:images.jpeg] There's a ton more photos in google (including mine in 4th row down, 3rd from left, in its case). Note mine has lines added and side dots in the between frets positions (it comes unlined and un-dotted as standard) [url="http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=takamine+b10&hl=en&client=safari&rls=en&prmd=imvnsfd&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=8tyZTpOYGsW3hQfHkdSKBA&ved=0CDcQsAQ&biw=1539&bih=852"]http://www.google.co...iw=1539&bih=852[/url] Specs sheet here: [url="http://takamine.com/Tak_parts/B10spec.pdf"]http://takamine.com/...rts/B10spec.pdf[/url]
  12. [quote name='ShergoldSnickers' timestamp='1318704707' post='1405474'] If I'd played on this you wouldn't be able to shut me up. You can be justifiably very proud of this - great, great tone and feel on the bass and it just slots into the track like..... well you know those Inca walls made of huge great solid blocks of stone that you can't get a ciggy paper between? Well like that. [/quote] You are too kind and I'm blushing now I really am convinced this could be a mainstream radio hit if someone on one of the bigger stations picked up on it.
  13. I just input the serial no. into the Fender Serial Dater Project and it comes out with Fullerton, 1971
  14. [quote name='marvin spangles' timestamp='1318697543' post='1405382'] I'll be glad to take it off your hands . Is paypal good for you. If so pm me your email address [/quote] Coolio, will PM you imminently
  15. [quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1318698131' post='1405389'] Nope - think I'll pass on this. I am, however, curious as to why someone has taken a chisel to the upper bout ... [/quote] Just stick to your Rob Allen porn, Jack! Speaking of which, there is a Mouse on ebay.com (I highlighted in another link, might accept an off-market offer?) Edit: just saw your comment about rodents not being your thing
  16. Just got this today from Amazon but its not what I thought it would be, as most is devoted to biogs of famous jazz bass players (with short samples of their lines) rather than outright tuition. I'm sure many DB players would find it useful and stimulating, but I had something else in mind when I ordered it. I paid £11.86 from Amazon (link below) and its flicked through once only, so virtually as new! How about £10 including post?

  17. This is proper lovely to my eyes http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VINTAGE-RARE-1970-FENDER-FRETLESS-PRECISION-BASS-GREAT-TONE-PLAYABILITY-/110757516977?pt=Guitar&hash=item19c9a996b1#ht_3440wt_1165

  19. [quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1318581382' post='1403884'] Gorn! Outbid this morning. Ah well ... 'twas probably for the best. [/quote] Thought you were in there, Jack
  20. [quote name='Low End Bee' timestamp='1318547938' post='1403740'] Thanks Mr C. It's a break not a solo. Keep it quiet. I don't want to come over all Billy Big Bo**ox. [/quote] Soon to be known as the Jaco of Brentford
  21. No guilt. All good.Now you can get involved in something that really fires you up - and the experience with your now-previous band will stand you in good stead to make the right decisions

  24. Very pretty and looks like a great price too (not much more than a new MIM Jazz!)
