    Thanks for the input guys! So if you solo the P pup there's also not humming? And the P bass tone is the same as on a P Bass? What I'm monst atracted to is adding a jazz pup to an existing P bass instead of buying a Hot rod or PJ bass but, since I'm not a very handy person, do you know how much would cost me to have a Jazz pickup profesionally installed by a luthier?

    I have just been thinking on going down the Fender P bass route, and in fact, I'm ready to go for it, but I'm also considering the possibility of a PJ: - Fender Hot Rod - Fender P Bass and ad the J pickup. Since I haven't had the chance to try any of them I wanted to ask, to all of you that own or have tried them, what's your opinion on these basses. On the Hot Rod, the P pickup is in the same position as it's on a P Bass? One thing I'm not sure about it's that if when soloing any of the pickups you also get the humming noise, similar to the one it happens on the Jazz bass? Thanks!

    [quote name='paul, the' post='37813' date='Jul 27 2007, 01:56 PM']You're not selling this on Gumtree?: Musicman Stingray Hs (Double Pickup) (£950) Reply to: Click here to email the poster Date: Friday 13th July [url="http://brighton.gumtree.com/brighton/51/11405051.html"]http://brighton.gumtree.com/brighton/51/11405051.html[/url][/quote] Yes that was me... to cut the story short: We have bought a flat and needed the money to put towards the deposit so I thought about selling this bass... but then, instead of selling the Stingray, I decided to sell and has already been sold here on the forum, my Spector 5 which I wasn't using much these days. As you'll see I posted the Ad on Gumtree only once and never reposted it since I wasn't selling it anymore. The only reason I'm asking for advice on the price and thinking of selling this bass is because I'm GASSING for a '70's Fender P Bass but, I have to say, that I'm not completly sure abut letting this one go as is such a great instrument with such a wide range of good tones... The only reason GAS, GAS & GAS!

    [quote name='neepheid' post='36858' date='Jul 25 2007, 01:23 PM']I don't think it matters what you paid for it to be honest. Like Hamster says, you can get one new for £1100 so no-one will pay more than that for it used and will most likely expect to pay less. Fingerprints, even cleaned off ones have that effect on value [/quote] I'm not saying that I want to based the asking price of the bass around the price I paid for it... I'm just asking you guys for advice on what you think is a fair price. I cannot find them for £1100, can you tell me where, please? Anyway, I agree with you two and I also had in mind the £900ish. Thanks for your advice guys!

    [quote name='Hamster' post='36842' date='Jul 25 2007, 12:56 PM']A fair price would be based on what you paid for it - not the full retail price, unless of course that's what you paid? You can pick these up new with a case for around £1100 - £1150 so I'm guessing a ballpark figure for a private sale is £900 - £975? Hamster[/quote] I paid £1350 when I bought it since I couldn't find them cheaper anywhere? So, based on that, what do you think?

    [quote name='niceguyhomer' post='36782' date='Jul 25 2007, 11:41 AM'] £££???[/quote] The retail price for this bass is around £1400... What do you guys consider to be a fair price? Keep in mind that I bought it new 7 months ago and that it comes with all the original candy + cleaning products... What do you think?

    I'm thinking on selling my Musicman Stingray HS and I'm just testing the waters to see if anyone is interested. The Serial Number is E57180, I checked with Musicman Customer Service and it means that it was made on 16-10-06 and I bought it new on January 2007 so that's 7 months ago. The bass is in mint condition as it hasn't been played much since I'm mainly using my '77 Jazz Bass. The bass comes with all the original acessories and paperwork: Musicman case, keys, instructions, polish cloth, labels.... I will also include a set of cleaning products that Musicman recommend to take care of the fretboard: Birchwood Oil and Birchwood Wax... Have a look at the pictures!

    [quote name='RichBowman' post='32772' date='Jul 16 2007, 10:52 PM']It's an awesome bass - Stunning punchy sound, comfortable as anything, and abosolutely stunning to look at. The neck was the basis for my Shuker build. Also, for what it's worth, it's not an LX, it pre-dates those particular models and actually has a SOLID maple body, rather than the veneer that the LX's have (an in my, probably uninformed opinon...) is probably a better model. For a ball park guide on what a cracking price for this bass, check out the price this LX went for: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=2384"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=2384[/url] You can't go wrong - Added in that Pablo is a top bloke to deal with too. And the middle picture has my duvet cover in the background! Rich[/quote] Rich, thank you very much for your comments and for adding that extra info. To be honest, I know I'm going to regret selling this bass but at the moment I'm not playing it much and also have other things in mind.

    Well guys, I have decided to offer for sale my Spector 5 LX... it's not being played much these days and it's a shame having it laying around. It's been my main bass for a while but have moved to another band and don't need a 5 strings anymore. The bass is in excellent condition apart from two small dings on the lower horn, but to be honest, have been properly reapired and they are hardly noticable (can provide picture on request). This bass is a joy to play, very versatile and comfortable. Comes with Hard case and a nearly new set of Elixir strings installed. I'm looking for £600. Have a look at the pictures: I'm living Hove and you are more than welcome to come and try it.

    I've heard about this basses before, they are quite popular amongst Spanish bass players... I'm also member of the Guitarramania Forum (Spain) and people talk really well about them... If you check Windmill's site Musicians section you'll see this guy: Charlie Moreno, he's got he's own custom model, "Windforce Charlie Moreno". Check his YouTube site and judge the bass (...and the player!) by yourself: [url="http://www.youtube.com/profile_videos?user=charliegroove&p=r"]http://www.youtube.com/profile_videos?user...egroove&p=r[/url]

    Up for sale is my "Diago" pedalboard, the exact model is the "Showman".... Here you've got the link to Diago's site so you can check all the features and dimensions: [url="http://www.diago.co.uk/pedal-boards/pedal-boards/overview.html"]http://www.diago.co.uk/pedal-boards/pedal-...s/overview.html[/url] As you'll see in the pictures, the pedalboard is in mint condition as it's been mainly sitting around not being used much. The only thing is that the Diago logo plate is missing but otherwise is in excellent condition. They for £107 postage included... I'm looking for[b] £60 postage included[/b] too... Anyone interested?... PM Me! PS- Feel free to check my Feedback Thread

    [quote name='wateroftyne' post='29214' date='Jul 9 2007, 06:11 PM']It's on the high side, but not massively unreasonable. Without more info it's difficult to tell (i.e. how good is it?) but I'd go for £1100.[/quote] Well, I also think that is a bit overpriced but as we all know, buying from a shop is always more expensive than Ebay or buying directly from someone...This bass is being sold at The Gallery (London)... To be honest, after a few experiences with people claiming to sell original vintage Fender Basses and then turning out to have been refinished, parts replaced... not sure if this is right move. I don't know but right now I'm thinking that maybe, it would be better to buy it directly from a well known shop... Yes, you end up paying a bit more money but if anything goes wrong you've got their support. Here is the link: [url="http://www.thebassgallery.com/fenderpbass73.html"]http://www.thebassgallery.com/fenderpbass73.html[/url] As you can see it's not in great condition but it has been out there being played for 34 years!

    Hello guys! It's been a while since I decided to go after a 70's Fender P bass but haven't found the right one yet. Now I have seen a '73 Fender that is selling for £1300, it's all 100% original/genuine, no parts have been replaced and the finish it's the original... What do you think of the price? Thanks!
