Fede bought my Fender Jazz, quick payment, great communication. All I had to do was bubble wrap the thing and wait for a courier to arrive....dead easy! Many thanks Fede.....

No girls, no Mustang. Shallow and a bit sexist but honest. The girls love it and so do we.[/quote] Haha and us. We have it in the locker just in case but never on the prepped set list. Variety is the key, we sometimes play Peaches by Presidents of the USA to blank looks and other times everyone's rocking??

Drum stool with back rest - defo Just like this, I have one it's great

I've managed to hold on to my first bass of this era of playing for nearly 10 years, but apart from that stuff's been moved on on a regular basis!![/quote] Hmm interesting exchange of words on Monday, when I was busy answering pm's about my Jazz sale. Mrs F61 "what you doing now?" Me "I'm selling one of my basses" Mrs F61 "why you selling another one?" Me "Cause I've got a new one incoming" Mrs F61 "I hope your [b]NOT[/b] selling that Rick thingy that you got on our 25th anniversary" Me "ahem no" Sounds like the Ricky has become a keeper all of a sudden

[quote name='EssentialTension' post='1119999' date='Feb 8 2011, 12:49 PM']That looks like a pic of a standard long scale to me. Probably no short-scale pics available yet.[/quote] That's what I though tbh when I found it first thing this morning

Anyone seen any details on this apart from the press releases. They seem to be about £800, so just wondered how they differ from Standard T-birds apart from 3.5ins neck length.

Not too bad down here, if you have a rep for being decent and reliable it's ok. We do travel mind you, up to an hour and 1/4 so we do clock upi the miles. We'll do about 40 gigs this year, which is pretty much the same as last and the fees are holding up. But there are certainly less people out and about watching that's for sure.

[quote name='MuckedUpFunkies' post='1105404' date='Jan 27 2011, 06:47 PM']My personal favourite is non stop playing. We have always segwayed 4-6 tracks at a time but i always say if the crowds up for it and you can cope why stop and loose momentum?[/quote] Me too but I'm outvoted 2:1 on this point......the wimps.

Longest in old band was 3 and a half hours, no break!!! Current band 1 x 1hr followed by 1x 1hr 15mins plus encores, my logic is I do this for fun therefore want to play as longs as is possible

[quote name='TheGreek' post='1105144' date='Jan 27 2011, 03:09 PM']I look at it regularly - seen a number of what seem to be real bargains - never actually bought anything (have you seen the Sandberg basic 5 in Neasden, NW London, for about £550)..??[/quote] No I've seen something I've been after for a while and contacted the seller, mind you heard nothing so far

Anyone here used it for buying or selling, any issues?

[quote name='Lozz196' post='1103142' date='Jan 26 2011, 07:42 AM']I`d recommend Hot Covers for this type of product. Great product, and swift turnaround - mine turned up 4 days after prdering, in the midst of all the snow last December. Hot Covers are in Scotland, but still managed to get my item to me in 4 days. i was impressed.[/quote] +1, I rec'd excellent service from Hot Covers.

Here's my contribution my new Jack Casaby Epi...!
