1956 Fender P Bass @ Tom's Guitar Shop
Happy Jack replied to madshadows's topic in General Discussion
Well what else can I use my aircraft hanger for? Eh? Well? -
Great units these, and that's a very decent price. I already have a pair of CP12s plus a pair of CP8s so I can't really justify buying this. -
Genz Benz Shuttle 9.2 - selling the complete package

I should also probably have mentioned that it comes with the GB Shuttle 4-button footswitch. And the soft cover. -
The whole 'kitchen scales' thing is just so declasse these days, don't you think? Here we have the intersection of luggage scales with a meat-hook ... so much more satisfying. And no, your eyes do not deceive you. The scales register exactly 9.5lbs = pretty much the weight of every decent (single-necked) P-bass in existence. -
I should probably have mentioned that it comes with the original Owner's Manual. -
Very little used since Covid, time to move it on. Comes with all the little bits of cabling etc. Condition is as near pristine as you're likely to find. Full specs are here: https://philjonesbass.net/cms/product-ha-1/-

100W, 2x5" Piranha speakers. These dedicated drivers were specifically designed for the briefcase, driven by a high current 100-watt (RMS) amplifier housed in rigid metal chassis. Can be used with rechargeable 12v 7amp battery - essentially a motorcycle battery; these usually cost around £20 new - so it's also ideal for use when busking or on camping trips & similar. If you don't fancy the battery option, there's a cable that comes with it to allow you to run the combo from your car's cigarette lighter socket. Weight: 28lb (excl. motorcycle battery!) Dimensions: 6.5" x 14.5" x 15.75" Inputs: Active/Passive Others: Compressor/limiter, 5-Band EQ, Headphone out, Balanced-line out, Pre-amp XLR out, Extension-speaker out Words like "pristine" and "immaculate" spring to mind. In perfect working order, and I think I even have the original slip case in storage somewhere. Shipping is at least possible, but the weight would make that both undesirable and expensive. Still, "never say never" ... -
Mind you, if it turns out to be illegit then it'll be a right bastard ...

No love for Lavender and Ylang Ylang then?

Flipping basses for profit – fair game or not cool?

Wait ... you can sell basses? -
Had I been able to come up with the flimsiest of excuses to hang on to this bass then I'd have done just that ... but unfortunately that line of reasoning leads to madness. 🙄

Yeh, but driving 300km to save 10 Euros, well I dunno ... 😉

During the last 10 years of my career I was lucky enough to benefit from corporate hospitality, and I saw a whole load of big name bands from the 70s (Stones, Who, Fleetwood Mac, etc) as freebies. Pretty much without exception they were disappointing, not a patch on who they once were, and frankly nowhere near as good as most of their own tribute acts. The Actual Rolling Stones at the O2, for example, were absolutely blown away by The Counterfeit Stones, who I'd seen three weeks earlier (and paid for with my own money) at Kew Gardens. I genuinely can't remember the last time I bought gig tickets for a 'name' band and I can't say as I've missed it. I'd much rather be gigging with my own band down the Dog & Duck than watching a bunch of octogenarians through binoculars.

eBay doesn't want your business, or mine. Private sellers like us who sell perhaps a handful of items each year are a mere legacy from the original eBay, and they'd love to be rid of us and focus on challenging Amazon. eBay is now essentially the 2nd biggest shopping mall on the planet, with the vast majority of the business being done by shops and concessions, not by people buying and selling with each other in the concourse.
