  1. Brilliant basses, passive but powerful GLWS bump
  2. W[quote name='blyn' timestamp='1441546159' post='2859673'] Thanks for the link gareth I agree that is a prof way to document a bass! Regards Brian [/quote]bet it then sells!
  3. [quote name='Paul S' timestamp='1441535419' post='2859519'] I am not surprised - it was lovely. I hope the bullet wound in your instep heals quickly [/quote] and I too hope the bullet wound in your instep heals quickly
  4. [quote name='blyn' timestamp='1441529363' post='2859453'] I think you are right, gareth! I have some more pictures and can mail them to serious interested buyers. Also can take Pick ups out, and take photos if it is nessasary. Regards Brian [/quote]brian, take a look at this http://basschat.co.uk/topic/267200-1970-fender-telecaster-bass/page__p__2849249__hl__telecaster__fromsearch__1#entry2849249 Nice big clear photos taken in good light, preferably outside giving the buyer most of the information he needs Cheers and GLWS Gareth
  5. [quote name='Paul S' timestamp='1441042880' post='2855605'] Even this one? [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/264839-fender-mustang-bass-1967/page__p__2849944__hl__mustang__fromsearch__1#entry2849944"]http://basschat.co.uk/topic/264839-fender-mustang-bass-1967/page__p__2849944__hl__mustang__fromsearch__1#entry2849944[/url] [/quote]now sold
  6. [quote name='blyn' timestamp='1441459720' post='2859049'] Bump....... now £1100 [/quote] this is a beautiful bass but you would stand more chance of selling it with full size photos and more photos of the pups out, neck off, full pots, pot cavity, neck cavity, pup cavity, etc, etc
  7. [quote name='Roger2611' timestamp='1440943664' post='2854873'] Great basses and totally different to their poly finished counterpart, GLWTS [/quote]how so? The only difference between the nitro and the non-nitro basses is .....er........the nitro finish - how can the finish alone make them totally different basses? Just wondering
  8. [quote name='karlfer' timestamp='1440571279' post='2851939'] As ever with old Precisions, it might really help your sale if you strip it down and take good close ups of neck heel, neck pocket, pots, back of scratch plate, bottom of pick ups. Just trying to be helpful. £1600 is not a huge amount for a bass of this kind BUT it's a lot of money for most folk to find so they will most likely want to be as sure as they can be. GLWTS [/quote] +1
  9. Lovely bass It's worn this way for a reason ....
  10. The other question is whether the sb1 pup position is the same a precision
  11. [quote name='CH161' timestamp='1438711641' post='2836635'] Thank you, yes it is original. [/quote] thanks and GLWS - great bass!
  12. Great bass, is the pickup original? Thanks

    G&L tribute SB-2

    [quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1402467936' post='2473720'] I'd really like to try one of these but I just can't get over the lack of a tone knob....! [/quote]it really is NOT a problem, you will not miss it
  14. [quote name='The Badderer' timestamp='1434532920' post='2800437'] TBH IMO etc.... so much of the tone comes from what you are playing the bass through that a P Bass is a P Bass and there will be some difference tonally, but playability is far more important than the tone of the individual P Bass. Once you put it in the mix you'll hear a P Bass tone, it just depends what it's running through and how the sound is set up that will really control where it sits in the mix. Obviously a massively generalised opinion. [/quote] not so I have seen chris Clarke playing bass with Danny and the champions of the world 3 x and on the last occasion, this week, he was using a jv squire p bass instead of his 60's p bass - same rig, same fingers but the squire lacked the punch/attack of the fender and was further down in the mix Now I like jv's but the fender in Chris's hands was a superior beast that no amount of eq'ing could counter
  15. Yes I too have only just discovered rics I have a 2000 model which is perhaps like yours Love the tone with both pups on - truly chris squirish.
  16. Fender 60th anniversary precision - see-thru ash body, maple neck, thin nitro-type finish, light (8lbs), vintage type pickups. If you want to stay with the 1970s, I did once have a 77 black precision with maple neck that weighed just under 8lbs, so they do exist
  17. highway was USA and had a thin nitro finish but neck with truss rod at the wrong end - the head nice bass BTW
  18. I once owned one of these California Series basses. They are exactly the same as the Mexican ones - one here [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/261158-fender-precision-special-pj-car-maple/"]http://basschat.co.uk/topic/261158-fender-precision-special-pj-car-maple/[/url] - the parts used on both basses are the same, the difference is that the Mexican one is assembled in Mexico by Mexicans and the California Series is assembled in USA by Mexicans and gets a Made In USA stamp and a USA serial number
  19. Sold some 6550 valves to Paul - nice bloke and excellent communications thanks
