  1. OK - thanks for the info!
  2. Did they use crosshead screws in '65?
  3. Pah! - What does he know?
  4. Is one string with a harmonic ping a chord too?
  5. I've seen a 60s Precision in a shop and it looks really nice, except the body has been refinished in white; a bit of a shame, I thought...
  6. That sounds likely to me, if only to prevent the logo wearing more.
  7. Nice bass! I've been seeing other models up for sale, but not the SB-700. I had one I bought new in the 70s or was it the 80s, which I sold at some point; it was a very nice bass.
  8. Cor - and they say Fender just do the same old designs. Sadly, I think the "rare" is probably because not many people bought them...
  9. The idea of putting a Marshall amp into that somehow appeals...
  10. So, when the seller says "These range from £300 to £1500", which end of that scale is a Korean one? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Tokai-Love-Rock-electric-guitar-rock-concert-damaged/142654907054?epid=1123285000&hash=item2136e522ae:g:~W8AAOSwWktaWiSj
  11. Get in early to buy for next year's Secret Santa!
  12. Cool - it was Manchester Apollo for me.
  13. Mo Foster is a good 'un; I saw him with Jeff Beck on the There & Back tour; met them after the gig!
  14. There might be a sale in a while...
  15. Well, assuming it is genuine and can be refinished, that was a pretty good price. I dropped out earlier...
  16. A mere scratch! I'm picking up my bass tomorrow from the bloke who's repairing this. and this...
  17. Hehe - he does spell it properly in the description, though.
  18. Won't come to any 'arm!
  19. Aye - just the title and the illegal logo.
  20. Looks a bit of a dog to me.
  21. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Fender-Warmoth-74-Jazz-bass-build-project/112736305513?hash=item1a3f9b8169:g:kZMAAOSwytJaQ7~W Only pickups, bridge, neckplate are Fender. Body is Warmoth. Fender logo on 3rd party neck makes it a fake.
  22. Aye - I guess it's a matter of whether there is something untoward underneath, and the quality of finish... (And the time & effort required!)
  23. I'd say a competent luthier should be able to sort it.
  24. I've got an Affinity Strat which I bought for my kids 10+years ago; it's like a Fender except every part is just cheaper & less well finished, but it sounds rather good. I looked at selling it a while back, but they're not worth much, so I kept it; I think £40-60 is the right price range and you get a lot of guitar for that!
  25. The machines are interesting - not yer standard cheap Japanese ones.
