  1. Hey 1 shot. Stick around over here. We are much nicer folk (well most of us). The bass is something else and sod all that Karma nonsense! Jez
  2. Might be better sending Precision a pm. If you move your mouse over his name, a box appears and click on send message and he should get back to you. But I would imagine that it`s long gone! You could always put a posting in the wanted section of the marketplace. Jez
  3. And Stingray`s. There seems to be a glut of really nice rays for sale on here just now. Thank god I don`t like them much. Jez
  4. [quote name='merello' timestamp='1330550156' post='1559378'] I've been trying to figure out what a GISON is all day! [/quote] Well seein you work in a bloomin school! Yeah dlloyd that looks like the one. Ta. Jez
  5. I`m right in thinking the Tokai is a set/neck through? I did the same mod to my Epi T bird Pro and I just drilled a hole right in the mid point of the neck where it met the body and it did the job. I would recomend you use a schaller straplock or something similar to secure the strap. I don`t have any photo`s as I sold it as I couldn`t get on with the shape. If it`s a bolt on, just take out one of the bolts and put the strap button on with a longer screw. Easy peasy! Jez
  6. [quote name='rednose200' timestamp='1325288201' post='1481917'] I absolutely hate signature guitars. Its only a sales gimmick for dummies who think that by buying a sig bass will make them play like the person its named after. Funny old world [/quote] I think you will find that the people on here that own a Mike Dirnt sig P bass, including myself now, would disagree with you 100% on this. The TB bass looks good value for money. I have used the Wilkindon hardware on several basses and it`s really good gear. Their guitars always get a good write up as well. Jez
  7. Mani, a question if you don`t mind. What happened to the Gibson SG you were playing on "this old town" with Weller on the Johnathan Ross show in 07 ish? Never seen you use it again. What a line up that was! Jez
  8. Move up to Glasgow, look on gumtree and you will find lots of people looking for bass players. The majority of the advertisers are off their nut but hey you`ll get a laugh. Seriously, stick an ad in gumtree and partysounds as they are free and get your own thing together. Jez
  9. I hope it is him. Top player and all round cool bloke. Jez
  10. Just did a trade with Liam for his Mike Dint P. Good guy to deal with and no messing about. Jez
  11. It`s all kicked off again with our friends across the pond. After having another thread about this bass stopped, the guy has had the bass inspected and has put up lots of new pics. Worth a look.

  12. Bargin of the year. If I didn`t have one, I`d have it. If you are looking for a Jazz at a great price, here it is! A lot of people change the pickups but I find the DD one`s do the job fine. Jez
  13. Good to here that Steven as I have a MD coming my way on tuesday! If this was Talkbass we could start a club!. How did the gig with the new band go? Jez
  14. I have 2 squiers at the mo and they are both good. I have upgraded some of the hardware with half decent budget gear and have gigged them lots and I have never had any complaints. Like all mass produced things, if you get a good un, bingo!! Jez
  15. Here we go regarding the neck: Blocks and binding were introduced in 66 The large block decal goes on the P and Jazz from 69 and was changed to the smaller size fron 76. At the same time the serial number moves from the neckplate to the face of the headstock under the logo. From 75 onwards, the jazz 3 bolt neck becomes the norm. This looks like the neck on the bass in question due to the truss rod. So, I reckon it`s a 75 or 76 neck. All info from the Fender bass book aka "fender bass bible." Jez
  16. Don`t know about the bass but if it sells he should use some of the money for a full stop. Jez
  17. Nah. The only people I dislike are singers. A nessecary evil!! Remember we are in the Entertainment business luvie!! Jez
  18. A Status Energy which I swapped for an amp, which my "mate" blew up shortly after and a 09 US p bass, black and maple that I sold on here. Jez
  19. This is a feeler for the moment as I`m not 100% certain of moving this on. It`s a Fender classic 60`s Jazz that I bought from guitarguitar last year. I lusted after one of these for a while as I really like the sunburst finish, reverse tuners, the gloss neck, tortiseshell scratchplate.... I am playing with a band at the moment in the studio and on friday took my Squeir P bass down for a change and according to the guys it sits a lot better in the mix as they say. I was going to get a P pickup fitted to this but it was gonna cost around £140 all in and it would destroy what the Jazz is all about. So what I`m looking for is a P bass. A classic 50`s, Mike Dirnt, a decent Mex standard, one of the classic vibe P basses or a Yam 414 or similar, you get the idea. I would do a straight swap for the classic 50`s or a Mike Dirnt but would be looking for cash my way for the others depending on what it is. As for a cash price I would be looking for around £460. As for condition, this has a few marks. A small ding on the front near the jack socket is the only one visable from the front, a small ding on top of the belly contour, 2 very small marks on the laquer at the end of the headstock-these are on the edge and cannot be seen from the front and one very small pressure mark on the back near the bottom. I have tried to photo them. I will be putting the original Fender strap pins back on. Any offers please pm me.

  20. I try and keep as near as possible to the original bassline until I run out of talent/ability which can happen very quickly! After that I just make up a part that sounds ok to me and hopefully the rest of the band. Jez
  21. Bands would be great things if it wasn`t for the tossers that are in them! Take a break and you will return revitalised, a better man for the experiances you have had. Jez
  22. Right that`s it!! I`m away to listen to Cygnus x1. Their best moment from their best album. Jez
  23. Superb job there. Don`t usually like pink basses but the matching headstock really sets this one off. Jez
  24. Gabriel just bought my Ibby off of me. Really nice guy and no messing about. I hope you enjoy it. Thanks G! Jez
