[quote name='Marc S' timestamp='1446805295' post='2902443'] I think I know the answer to this already, but I'm assuming it's a modern "C" shaped / profile neck? [/quote] Howdy Marc - As far as I'm aware it is yes, but I'm sure someone with far more knowledge than I will say if it's not. Thanks for the kind words. [quote name='karlfer' timestamp='1446836168' post='2902829'] Great bass. Great bloke. FABULOUS photography. Hurry up and get it bought peeps. [/quote] Thanks Karlfer, v kind & hugely appreciated. [quote name='tom1946' timestamp='1446840539' post='2902878'] Hell's teeth that's amazing! I might get myself into trouble here....... [/quote] LOL - I'd wager not in as much trouble as I'm in with Mrs Tim, hence the sale I've realised I've forgotten to add the weight - I've just ordered some decent scales so will edit the post once they arrive with the exact weight, but I must say it's seriously light compared to other P's I've had the pleasure of. Cheers all, Tim -
Hello there all, I'm selling my 2004-05 MIA Fender Precision Bass - to be fair she's way above my league & I really should thin the herd a bit so I'm letting her go. She plays FANTASTICALLY well with the perfect neck for me & a low action, plus sounds exactly as she should. Totally original & at first glance she's mint - but looking closely there are a couple of marks which are hugely exaggerated in these pictures - but I've photographed her with studio lights as they're very unforgiving so you can see her at her 'worst' here - she genuinely looks much better in the flesh. Only point to note is that there is some lacquer crazing on the back of the neck - mainly around the 12th fret which you can see in the attached pic - which is somewhat bizarre as the rest of her is in excellent condition - but is totally unnoticeable when playing. Fitted with the S1 switch & complete with OHSC & case candy as pictured. £650 firm please, with payment via cash, bank transfer or PayPal but you cover the fees, & I'm afraid I'm out of the market for trades at the moment. I'm more than happy to box up securely & courier to you for an additional £30 (UK mainland) but would ideally prefer you to come & have a noodle to make sure she's as good as I think she is before parting with any lolly. I'm just outside Kimbolton in Cambridgeshire & work from home, so am pretty flexible on timings, plus the kettle's always on . . . Many thanks Tim

Scratch plate for Fender Mike Dirnt Bass Help
TimAl replied to CyberBass's topic in Accessories and Misc
[quote name='CyberBass' timestamp='1446376616' post='2898827'] Seen this scratch plate someone's had made for there's and love it. Where can I go to get one made? [/quote] That's a lovely plate indeed, but unfortunately as much as I'd like to I only work with printed plates rather than multi-ply ones, so I'd need an original hi-res image to work with to create that kind of pattern, although I do have a Mike Dirnt template on file ;-) Cheers Tim -
[quote name='karlfer' timestamp='1445509519' post='2891960'] Oh ha de bloody ha, WRONG EDDIE ya muppet (as if you didn't know!) [/quote] Sorry mate, my bad

[quote name='karlfer' timestamp='1445506067' post='2891921'] I'm seriously considering getting a white pearl with Eddie on it, for my Sterling [/quote] Thanks for the kind words Karl - & don't hesitate to shout if you'd like a plate for your Sterling - whatever floats your boat . . .
-
Just received a PJ from Karl & to say I'm delighted is an understatement Easy peasy lemon squeezy - everything top notch, über quick & as straight-forward as a straight thing - plus as has been mentioned previously, I'd say it was under described! BUY WITH CONFIDENCE - unless you're selling a Hot Rod - then SELL WITH CONFIDENCE! Cheers Karl

The oven method definitely worked for me on an old 70s plate & it's common practice to heat - obviously not too high tho!

Precision bass pickguard posting - What do you use?
TimAl replied to Noisyjon's topic in Accessories and Misc
I post mine as mentioned above really - placed in soft plastic bag & then sandwiched between corrugated cardboard within a padded Jiffy Bag. Royal Mail Second Class Recorded delivery is around £4.00 as it's quite a big package. If Mr Postie is rough he could break any big & flat package really - but so far touch wood Touch Wood TOUCH WOOD I've never had a problem. -
Hello there sixdegrees, I make custom plates that can have any image or pattern you want on, as well as solid colours, plus I can work with your original to create a the template as I don't currently have one on file. Please see [url="http://www.originalscratchplates.com"]http://www.originalscratchplates.com[/url] for full info, & give me a shout if they appeal - 10% off for BC members too = £26.99 delivered to your door. Please 'scuse barefaced plugging . . . Cheers Tim

G'morning all, This is currently doing the rounds & made me nod my head in an extravagant way . . .

Thanks guys - seems the general consensus is to leave the colour as is - which I'm more than happy to do as it's lovely, I'm not a white plate kind of fella, so I'm having a play with different colour plates to bring the colour alive. Here's my current two favourite options: Plus if any of you use Facebook there's some further designs here: [url="https://www.facebook.com/originalscratchplates/posts/771834992900311?comment_id=772017236215420¬if_t=feed_comment"]Plate Colour Options[/url] What do you think - 'classy' or 'retro'? Again, just wondering - can anyone confirm if custom colours were originally offered, or was it just the two wood finishes? [quote name='FlatEric' timestamp='1422181890' post='2669466'] My, oh my, oh my! What a cracker!! The colour really suits it - I would leave it or better still. . . . . . . . . Sell it to me!!!!!!!! [/quote] The honest truth is that I bought it as I was curious because I've heard really good things about them, plus it just 'feels' right. However, according to Mrs TimAl apparently I already have far too many basses, ahem, so I'm happy to talk. I'm out jamming with some friends tonight so I'm going to give it a proper comparison against my early MIJ Fender P this evening to see which one I prefer, as I've now grown out of insisting that a P must be a Fender . . . LOL Thanks & Happy Monday(s). Tim

[color=#141414][font=verdana, geneva, lucida,] Hello there all,[/font][/color] [color=#141414][font=verdana, geneva, lucida,] I've just managed to get my grubby mitts on this lil beauty:[/font][/color] [color=#141414][font=verdana, geneva, lucida,] [/font][/color] [color=#141414][font=verdana, geneva, lucida,] [/font][/color] [color=#141414][font=verdana, geneva, lucida,] [/font][/color] [color=#141414][font=verdana, geneva, lucida,] Looking at the original specs am I right in thinking I've got a BL-800 - Serial number F812701 so mid 1981 & it must have been refinished at some point because it wasn't originally available in this colour? If so I'm very tempted to take it back to the original wood but if it's an original colour then perhaps it would be criminal to change it now. Tis a cracker & everything I've read & heard about them is true - a fantastic player with real grunt - a keeper! [/font][/color][color=#141414][font=verdana, geneva, lucida,] Keep up the great work![/font][/color][color=#141414][font=verdana, geneva, lucida,] Tim[/font][/color]

[quote name='spongebob' timestamp='1419961476' post='2644386'] In fact, I could probably list another 4003 reasons to deal with Tim again! [/quote] Thanks spongebob - I'm certainly gonna rock it better now with this mod - perfect for jam . . .

Just received a R*c thumb rest jobbie from Iain packed better than a champion packer's packed lunch - I can only echo everyone's high praise for spongebob - THANK YOU! BUY WITH CONFIDENCE! Cheers Tim

AT - Oh I wish! Nope, a preEB MM Stingray - just about do-able, although Mrs TimAl wasn't quite so impressed with its provenance . . . Ahem

[size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]I had the pleasure of buying a bass from Nick earlier this year - top fella all-round & couldn't agree more, they were indeed big shoes to fill in [/font][/size][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Jamiroquai[/font][/color][size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif] but to me he did it with style.[/font][/size]
