    Cracking good job Wes - for those unfamiliar with the original check out the similarity below: [attachment=71913:5.jpg][attachment=71916:tumblr_l...mlo1_500.jpg]

    So is this still for sale?

    [quote name='EssentialTension' post='1122730' date='Feb 10 2011, 03:07 PM']Hmmmm .... so many decisions.[/quote] After your Shuker/Rob Allen thread, I can predict the future (I think)

    [quote name='Doddy' post='1122551' date='Feb 10 2011, 01:11 PM']I'd just go and try out a bunch and get the one you like. So what if there is a small gap in the neck pocket or whatever,it's no big deal. Get one and work with it. For me,Fenders feel nicer as they get played in,and that won't happen in 20 minutes. Get a decent feeling one and work with it for a while.[/quote] Agreed, neck pocket gaps are over-rated as an issue IMHO. Most of my Fenders (young and old) have had a small gap and I very much doubt it had any affect on the bass' sound or playability (although I cannot of course prove that). Big gaps are different (I sent back a 2009 MIA Jazz with a whopping gap you could squeeze a coin into) but small gaps no biggie

    [quote name='Musicman20' post='1122515' date='Feb 10 2011, 12:40 PM']That Green is a lovely colour but Id like one thats a little younger![/quote] ageist! (said the 47 year old who feels about 100)

    Check out 4 Candles's seafoam green MIJ Jazz that he has up for sale on BC. Phwoar!
  9. Clarky
    First one, prearloid too Las Vegas, C&W for me. But before that you need to straighten out the bridge and pickups which have gone a bit skewiff
  10. Clarky
    Reckon this must be the one. Bl**dy gorgeous too, but I already have my Bacchus Jazz in seafoam green so won't be biting here [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=109722&hl=surf+green"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=...p;hl=surf+green[/url]

    [quote name='Nickington' post='1121427' date='Feb 9 2011, 02:48 PM']Very tempted. Does it come with a case?[/quote] No, apologies. I mentioned this in OP. I can wrap in a ton of bubble wrap and then put in a cardboard box, so it would be safe (its how it arrived for me). ALternatively I could buy a case but would have to charge for this

    [quote name='farmer61' post='1121043' date='Feb 9 2011, 10:04 AM']Hmm interesting exchange of words on Monday, when I was busy answering pm's about my Jazz sale. Mrs F61 "what you doing now?" Me "I'm selling one of my basses" Mrs F61 "why you selling another one?" Me "Cause I've got a new one incoming" Mrs F61 "I hope your [b]NOT[/b] selling that Rick thingy that you got on our 25th anniversary" Me "ahem no" Sounds like the Ricky has become a keeper all of a sudden [/quote] I have a 30th anniversary Fender Stratocaster bought for me in 1993 for my 30th birthday with my wife's last ever paycheck before she retired to full-time family rearing. I am not allowed to sell that either, even though its been sat in its case for over 10 years as I just don't ever play guitar!

    They are all coming out of the woodwork! Despite my well known Fender-itis, I once had a Warwick - a Thumb 5 [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=61774&pid=1117628&st=380&#entry1117628"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=...p;#entry1117628[/url]

    Is this destined for a Wayne-TM paint job?

    Last bump before I head off on half-term hols
  18. Clarky
    Gosh, that's a beautiful fretless. Very unusual colour scheme - so many Wals seem to be walnut faced. Wish I had the moolah! Have a bump instead

    [quote name='Hobbayne' post='1118289' date='Feb 6 2011, 09:16 PM']The only thing just south of Hammersmith is the river! [/quote] You are forgetting genteel Barnes with its village green and pond, where people still ride bikes with baskets and wear green wellies

    [quote name='EssentialTension' post='1118278' date='Feb 6 2011, 09:08 PM']I can't believe this is still here.[/quote] Me neither. I thought I had priced it to go. Previous AV62s have tended to go in the 800-900 range and this has the added versatility of the J pickup as well as a hard-to-find black and tort combination (current ones are 3TS or OW). I put it down to a terrible market, as evidenced by other basses that would previously have flown off the shelves (eubassix' Wal for example) taking an age to sell or not selling at all. Or selling at knockdown prices (Stingrays seem to have come down a long way). Can but persevere..

    [quote name='Bex' post='1118127' date='Feb 6 2011, 07:34 PM']Hi Clarky Where are you based? I live down in the depths of Kent (Dover) I could be interested in the Fender, but would need to try before I buy. Thats if the 57 reissue that I am looking at on Ebay doesn't come my way. All the best Bex[/quote] Hi Bex I am just south of Hammersmith in SW London Happy for you to give it a try out but late work times this week and half-term hol the following week would mean its. Couple of weeks before you could do so I'm afraid So sounds like its best to see if you snaffle that 57 on eBay first! Cheers Clarky

    [quote name='tredders' post='1117727' date='Feb 6 2011, 02:54 PM']I'm horribly tempted by this. Been looking at these for a while now. Just a dumb question - how useable are they for gigs without the extension cab?[/quote] They are very loud. The down firing radiator speaker underneath transmits extra sound to the stage area. Loud enough for any pub, hall or medium sized venue IMHO. I had one and bought the extension cab and never used the latter as it wasn't necessary.
  23. Clarky
    Tino's sense of humour, I reckon! Either that or he is introducing the concept of shill bidding to BC for sale forums Anyway bump for one of the best bass combos on the market, in my opinion
  24. Clarky
    Just found a couple of vids of my old death metal band Nyx playing at the Hope & Anchor and Purple Turtle in 2005 - then I had a Warwick and it had 5 strings! And only one bass (obviously had never come across an online bass forum then!)
  25. Clarky
    Interesting spectrum of views. Where a bass is viewed as a keeper it seems to come down to either (1) some form of emotional attachment (first good bass etc) (2) category killer (as Happy Jack eloquently put it) or (3) its so value-less in the event of a sale there's no point considering selling it! I imagine if I found a lightweight, lightly mojo'd 1963 (year of birth) oly white Fender Precision that would be it for me in the P stakes and would be a keeper. But I haven't spotted one yet and, if I did, more than likely I couldn't afford it right now!
