    [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1378111366' post='2195761'] I didn't know Tunbridge Wells was near Mansfield. [/quote] No - just a joke. Didnt bother adding a smiley as I know my location is in my profile

    Will you all just stop talking about me ? It IS a jazz and it IS a purple chilli (top marks to you, Sherlock)- you're really creeping me out, people !

    [quote name='muddyman1' timestamp='1378069812' post='2195580'] thanks for the info on 50s Fenders people - figured that out rather quickly but too late for all yous in the know! [/quote] Yes - a copy of a 57 with, if I recall correctly, the pickup as the custom shop models. There's red, sunburst and cream as I recall. They come up on here used fairly often. Very nice indeed to play. See the link musky posted I have the same pickup in my bass and the bass doc seemed to approve when he fitted it all together.

    Souhthampton ? That's my guess Can I recommend the classic 50s models ? I tried one recently and it was awesome

    I have had one - they are superb. I didn't change a thing

    I think that the difference should be that you have to state item you want to acquire, whereas the sale forums just invite trades with sometimes a vague steer towards various desired items Worth a try is my 2p

    [quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1377811260' post='2192352'] My P stays in tune for months. I check it before every gig, but sometimes I wonder why I bother. [/quote] Mine too - stiff new kluson tuners and a stable jap maple neck.

    Most consumer protection legislation has an EU directive at its root, specifying minimum standards that apply across the EU. Some details are left up to individual member states to improve or decorate as they see fit . Google will know the detailed answer. Some members here live in France so I suggest you modify your title to catch their eye

    [quote name='surfguy13' timestamp='1376989857' post='2181794'] Can you let me have an exact weight? Ideally on digital scales? Thanks. Willing to consider an ffer? [/quote] As I understand the rules, he would say so publicly. If you want to know, or think its overpriced, want to make an offer , you should PM him

    I'm unfamiliar with the work of this masterful artist - are there any links to his masterpieces of which I should be aware ?

    [quote name='Clarky' timestamp='1377457250' post='2187802'] Out of interest would you sell on at a profit to someone you considered a mate (and vice versa)? [/quote] Yes, because everyone I know is aware I won't overcharge them for anything. They expect to pay something like market value, and would say "fair play" if they knew I got a bargain. They wouldn't expect to benefit from my work Equally it's not exactly a business and I just pay any profit I might ever make into the mortgage account or give it to my partner as an unexpected bonus,

    [quote name='fretmeister' timestamp='1377375810' post='2186937'] It's yours. You and the market set the price at the time you sell it. The price you paid is utterly irrelevant. Spotting a bargain and buying cheap does not mean you have to sell it onwards cheap. In these days of hard times if you have the chance to put a little extra food on the table by making some profit and you decide not to - you need your head examined. [/quote] This. If I buy something that someone else undervalued, then I think it's okay to sell it on at a fair market value. Not sure why person C should benefit from person A's lack of research and person B gains nothing. Person A is rid of unwanted item, person B is alert and is rewarded for being on the ball, person C gets something they want at a fair price. Equally I'd never scam anyone with broken, damaged or mis described items.

    BUMP for hard case still available

    Yes you should intimidate thx neighbours. You used that jazz through a hartke 2x 10 at my house so I can only imagine an 8 x 10 would sound fricking immense @grangur You should elaborate on the switching - what we discussed sounded worth publishing
  21. Geek99
    I used to own this - its very nice
  22. Geek99
    Talk to the bass doc and see if he can make / adapt a body like that ? If not, it's your bass - you do what you want
  23. Geek99
    I thought it was just as good ad the four string Musicroom offered me a very good price on one

    In classic black/white/maple. Just one very minor ding on the back of the neck, no other damage at all, anywhere. The ding could be steamed out or filled with a blob of epoxy, but I stopped noticing it very quickly. Pots and pickups seem to be original and work smoothly and without extraneous noise and under the bellplate, its all tidy. It has fresh .45 - .105 strings. Serial starts Z309 Comes with ABS Fender hard case (plush dark blue lining, hidden compartment, fender logo and headstock design outer), this is non-locking but all catches work smoothly. There are a very few minor scuffs on the case but thats only to be expected on a ten year old item. Please note that this beauty does not have the S1 switch, although its simple to add the series/parallel function with a push-pull DPDT pot. Can be viewed/collected from near Sutton In Ashfield (j28 m1), Nottinghamshire. I will ship (reluctantly due to risk) at cost based on reaching agreement with buyer. I do travel around quite a bit too so happy to meet to avoid risk if it can be arranged. I think this is worth £700 as its so nice, please PM me with any questions as I dont seem to get all email notifications. My feedback thread is linked in my signature. http://i1149.photobucket.com/albums/o600/geek99/US%20jazz/37617564-6CCE-435F-A7A3-BCBC09BAA0A1-3114-00000232B3FF7FBF_zpsa288c849.jpg STRAIGHT SALE ONLY (please) Update - bass now SOLD to a basschat member, case still available. Looking for around £50 for it?
