In my experience it works at all levels. In fact, if the dif is only £100 or so, most will just buy new. Clear advice is - if you want to get the most form it - "put it back".

MIM Jazzes go for £200-£250 in the private ads, £20 less here. Best value bass there is? A good rule of thumb for any modifications is: 1. Confirm the market value 2. Do the mod 3. Subtract the cost of the mods from the market value Gives you the current value after modification. So: £300 bass - change the bridge and pickups = £150 - now worth £150, unless you find someone who values the precise changes made. Putting it back to original only replaces value of the change required no physical intervention (screws, routing, etc). If you can tell it was done, don't add back. Sad, but true....

Ermmm... Hartnoll Guitars do the Platinum Drive for £60 + £8 carr. Just so's you know re eBay expectations. I got mine at Cash Converters for £25. More of a fuzz than anything else. I am going to see what happens with a lower gain valve...

I have one with the copper earth strip and a'. Same as the CIJ '62 reissue Fender I just sold for £400 - only differences were the decal and a white s/p instead of hte mint green from the CIJ. I think the Squier plays better, but that is entirely subjective. I would expect £350 as a fair value on the reissue spec Squier. ...or is that heavy?

Three Electric Blue combos are available from Rumour6 and a local practice room who have bought three of my Trace 4x10 combos to upgrade in the face of competition: 130w 1x12 - older, British made, kinda scruffy due to cat ownership, but brown tape/hoover treatment (you don't have to thank me Andy...) has the forensic evidence down to just the odd claw and a few hairs left. No performance issues. No fan, so quiet in the ol' bedroom.... £135 delivered. 180w 1x15 - 1 year old, Chinese made, replaced driver but no head issues. Not smelly or bruised. Used for lessons. £125 delivered. 180w 1x15 - 3 months old, Chinese made. As new, still warrantied by Sound Control. Held as a back up unit - has maybe 4 hours on it. £135 delivered. Collect and save the carriage cost.... You can reply direct to Rumour6 on the 1x12 on the "deal" and liaise on the shipping with me.

They all used to have necks like that....

Gone to sleep?

Chap on Gumtree Edinburgh selling a Brian Moore for £350.

Bridge and jazz tuners, please. Will you incl. carriage, please? What is your preferred method of payment? Cash? Swops? Chris

£180 is cheap - depending on what it needs. A filter cap job is around £75-125. depending on who does it. Transformers are £45-75, depending on source (I have some out of PA heads). Good working 120s are going for £250(street) -£350 (shop). Anyway - what valve anything do you get for less? Roost? Sola Sound? Elgin? Nolan? Carlsbro? Nothing with those fat Partidges.... A decent Selmer Treble 'n Bass is £300 anymore - and try to find a working 100w. The Stateside chap who bought my Hiwatt 400 used to run a Sound City website in the States. Worth a Google....

The 6 EL34 array gives a bit of headroom, but... Get a bass one - or get your tech to strip out the goofy active preamp stuff. They did a Bass 150, to - had one back in the mists of time.... Or move up to KT88s and buy my Sound City 200 (heh heh).

PM sent.

The footswitch is required to avoid the limiter kicking in when using the dirty channel (bridges the two channels). Needs a stereo lead, but.... Dundee, eh? D'ye ken Breeksie at Groucho? An auld pal.... If we can work out a drop to Edinburgh or Easterhouse, I think we're on....

Has the footswitch? Where are you?

Is it 4+1 or 5 a side? The nation awaits an answer...

This one is the same as an SB1000 in all ways except no "third knob" tone selector. This thing really sings....

Hiya, 'thumbs I have SO MUCH stuff.....can't see any gaps the now.... How is the combo running? Stay warm Chris

Tone is quite smooth - does that mean Precision? But you can select to split the coils - does that mean Jazz? I wish there was a common vocabulary for sounds.... Maybe another 'chatter can give their opinion...?

Cheque reported to be in the post...
