[quote name='bassaussie' post='457350' date='Apr 8 2009, 01:24 PM']That's a very interesting point, and I'd like to address this. I'm not a regular contributor to this forum, however, I've noticed that you're a person who likes to contribute to a lot of the Ebay threads, as well as quite a few of the For Sale threads. With that in mind, I would assume you have a fairly wide knowledge of the basses that are available to us in the current market. Do you think it's possible that, at some point in between the time these modifications were done and today, that various bass models have appeared in the market place that have now made this bass, with it's modifications, somewhat redundant? That maybe the seller has now found a bass that does a better job than this bass, and meets his requirements more suitably? That maybe the market has actually caught up with the needs he has from a bass? Naturally, I'll add a , so that you know I'm not trying to ridicule your post. In fact, I'll add another so that you know we're just funnin' with one another![/quote] MB1. Thats a very interesting point,and i'd like to address this. I am a regular contributor to this forum,and ive noticed that youre a person who apparently doesnt like anybody having a opinion that differs to there own. I do have a fair knowledge of basses old and new,as i said in an earlier thread...."Each to there own!"....I reserve the right to have an opinion,Not my cup of Tea, but i hope you'll be very happy with your new acquisition.......Naturally I've added this!

[quote name='yorick' post='457427' date='Apr 8 2009, 02:37 PM']I think the pick up selector is the knob with the brass plate and LED. Should be a three/four position rotary switch.[/quote] MB1. Blimey! ....C.K beat me to it!

[quote name='bassaussie' post='455933' date='Apr 6 2009, 10:41 PM']Why? It was his bass, he could do what he wanted with it. Have you ever heard of Billy Sheehan, or Marcus Miller, or Berry Oakley, or Steve Morse, or Eddie van Halen? These guys did whatever they wanted to their instruments to achieve the desired result. They weren't worried about collector values, or, God forbid, how someone would view their work on an internet forum in the year 2009. They were musicians working with their tools to achieve certain results. Sure, the bass has lost a lot of it's desirability as a collectable instrument, but lets assume that the guy who did this turned his good bass into a great bass, and went on to make a lot of great music with it. Isn't that the purpose of a bass, to make music, rather than to sit around looking good, waiting for the right collector to come along?[/quote] MB1. Cant be that great!....he's selling it!

MB1. Bought a couple of books from Andy! Great Quick Transaction,Great Communication. Many Thanks! Martin.

[quote name='budget bassist' post='455735' date='Apr 6 2009, 06:48 PM']+1, a lot of you guys don't think twice about modding your mid range basses, but in 30 years time, someone will be saying "Why would they do that to such a bass? It's old, it's rare etc etc", but you have to remember, when it was probably done, it was "just a p-bass"[/quote] MB1. Those" Just P basses" do tend to go for a lot more money,when theyre not "Products of theyre Age"... modified with a hammer and chisel. Most people upgrade things they can put back to original,when they wish to sell....always a safer idea!....Each To There Own Though!

MB1. Bastardised!.... Definately not great if your looking for an original 72!

Glam Rock band Creme Brulee (Voodoo Lady) featured in The League of Gentlemen. The vocalist blagged (Rhythm Guitarist) Les Mcqueen out of his Redundancy Money,with stories of a return to there former Glory!
