Anyone with valve amps for repair, I've been using Ted Woods (07904321155) in Stoke Newington north London for years. He sometimes has stuff for sale too. Excellent chap, reasonable prices and quick turn around.

That bass is a killer; great price and you can't get them like this anymore.
Someone buy it!![/quote]

Pictures! I hope... Has it worked? Oh its all so complicated

Ok guys, you'll have to forgive me, I'm finding this thoroughly confusing; I thought I'd posted this to the basses for sale section, but it all went wrong and I'm not sure where its posted now! Help? I did join two years ago, but I've been a silent observer til now... Just not sure how much I have to say

As for introductions, I'm James/Jimmy Sims, I used to work at the bass centre from around 2000 to 2005. I made it to all three locations, London, Birmingham, Manchester and I helped move them into the Liverpool Street branch. I'm not there any more, I'm lucky enough to be able to just play for a living at the moment. I got this bass for a recording a few years ago, and much as I love it, I just don't use it anymore.

Its strung with Lakland brand flatwounds, I'm assuming they're just re-packaged GHS strings, but I have no conformation on that. I've taken some more photo's of it, and I'll try to post them up here, if anyone has any questions or wants other photos, please contact me.

Only ever gigged it a couple of times and recorded with it twice, so in near perfect condition. Strung with flat wounds for extra cool slippy motown fun. £750 ono offering it on here before I put it into the gallery on commission sale.
