Sold Tom an Antigua P-bass. There's 11+ pages of great feedback here for a reason. Tom is a super man to deal with, and a true BC legend! Thanks again Tom, here's to your (ever growing!) Antigua collection!
-
For now (honeymoon period!), it's a yes to both. Learning to adapt, and they just look so good!

On the off-chance, thought I'd post it here just in case..... New project (vocals x 2, acoustic guitar, electric bass) requires a cajon/percussionist to complete the line-up. Based in Kent, so if you are one lurking on BC, or you know of one, please drop me a PM. We're all experienced players, so come and be a part of this new and exciting project!

This is now sold. Thanks Tom. You have the most taste on Basschat! -
Sold pending.....

FENDER FSR (Fender Short Run) ANTIGUA PRECISION - ONE OF ONLY 250 WORLDWIDE! 70's spec P-bass bass, from the Mexican plant in 2012. Limited run of a really special finish. These are very rare indeed. The pickups are 'pure vintage' and not the standard MIM - these were fitted as part of the FSR spec - along with 70's logo, thumbrest, stamped tuners, etc. A 70's P at a fraction of the cost - I've owned US standards that don't growl as much as this bass! The condition of this bass is, quite simply, immaculate. There's a tiny knock on the headstock, but my camera won't even pick it up. It's essentially as it was made in 2012. Comes with a Fender gig bag, again immaculate and unused except for storage. The previous owner bought the bass brand new, kept it for a rare noodle, so it has barely been played at all. I've got my eye on something else, so I'm handing this over. As I said, you'll rarely, if ever, see another. It's a very striking, and I personally I think gorgeous, finish. I don't have any scales, but it's a light bass - I'd estimate around 8lbs. You can see and hear about the instrument in this clip - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F_1auQihQgQ&feature=share&list=UUnhGL4V4yYffUyJIbdfemmw Price-wise, I'm asking only £625 for this, and that includes UK delivery to your door. Please give me a few days to sort the box - I've got a NBD incoming, so as soon as it arrives (by the end of the week), I'll get this off. Naturally, collection is fine. Based on the Romney Marsh in Kent. Paypal 'gift' or bank transfer please. Feedback link at the bottom of the page. Any questions, please ask.....and thanks for looking! SB

Maybe they'll release a few more....maybe one of their mid-70s gigs. The bonus live tracks on the '.....By Numbers' are superb. That version of 'Dreaming From The Waist' is a bass tour-de-force

Had a reminder on Twitter yesterday that this is coming in April - https://www.thewho.com/live-fillmore-east-1968/ Must say, I'm looking forward to this one. For years, I kind of overlooked The Who. Guess I saw a few of the post-Moon gigs on TV, so I never really 'got' them. Appreciated some of what I'd heard, but a bit on the fence, really. Few months back, I decided to give their back catalogue a good listen, and I'll admit, I've been mightily impressed. What a great albums band.....even if they should have called it quits when Moon left us... They've been described as a band of soloists, and I can see that. Some of the live stuff is the sound of 4 individuals breaking out over the same song, right through! As a 'busy' player, I've developed a new admiration for The Ox. That 'Frankenstein' tone is amazing. I was listening to a live set the other day (from about '69) in which they played 'Tommy' right through - 4 piece, no overdubs or triggers. Unbelievable today, and all the better for it IMHO.

I think it's easy to get carried away with how they reinvent the wheel. If you think, in bass terms, how simple the P and J bass is. I wouldn't have thought that precious metal for the tuners and exotic wood fretboards were part of the original designs! It's taken me years and lots of wasted money to realise that the difference is minimal that these changes make. Not minimal to the pocket though!

I'm with the OP. Did the same thing myself a few weeks back, feel better for it as I too wasn't happy. Good luck in your band search. I've not jumped back in yet....I had a fruitful conversation with a possible, but I'm still 50/50, as my heart doesn't seem to be in it.

True. Few years back I had a couple of Geddy's at different times - first the MIJ, later the MIM (both came with the BA2 bridges). I fully agree - the MIM was a far better instrument, it played and sounded amazingly well. Like an idiot, I sold it.....every time I see some photos of me gigging it, I regret it all over again!

In the past, more than now.....! At present, about £1200...one bass, one amp, one cab. No desire to add anything....if I could scale down further, I would.....but size-wise, it's got to fit in the car when needed!
-
.....and mutual best wishes from the Romney Marsh!

Just sold Tim an SG bass. It's his first transaction on BC - but rest assured, he's a fully-fledged BC'er already! Instant payment, great comms.....Tim's a great man to deal with, and I'm sure our sale will be the first of many. Nice one Tim, pleasure.

Sold Justin a new Fender short scale gig bag. Fully concur with all the comments above - instant payment, excellent comms - a first-class transaction. Good to deal with a BC'er with whom I share a little history as well! Thanks again Justin, hope we talk again soon.

Payment by PayPal 'gift' please. PM if interested, and thanks for looking! SB

NOW SOLD! Cheers Tim! -
This is an interesting thread for me at the moment. Having just quit my band of 6 years, I've lost all desire to play. Still listening to a bit of music everyday, but only picking up a bass for about 30 minutes a week, and that's if I'm lucky, or simply bothered. I simply don't have any desire to play, let alone join bands. I just feel like I've got as good as I ever will, and done with the instrument what I'm capable of. I've decided to give it 3 months. I'f by then I'm in the same mindset, then I guess I'll accept it, and realise that it's time to move on....then they'll be a bumper sale of stuff on here! ...or like the OP, pick up a uke!

SOLD: 2016 Fender Nate Mendel P Bass- £640 delivered
spongebob replied to Old Horse Murphy's topic in Basses For Sale
Very nice! -
Gibson SG Bass - 120th Anniversary Model - Limited Brown Satin Finish. With original Gibson hardcase. Immaculate example - one of the satin finish models. Original 3-point bridge replaced with Hipshot Supertone. There isn't any real wear on the bass - only thing is on the 'rub' points, the finish is a little shinier from use (neck, forearm). Besides that, a few small marks only visible under light. I'm being picky here - it's an amazing looking and playing example. I bought it last year as a an unused example, and had the work carried out. Fully set up with D'addario Chromes. All work carried out by James Collins, of 12th Fret, a Gibson approved repair specialist. These short scale (30.5") inch basses are amazing. This is the 2nd I have owned. The bridge alone is around £120, and the fitting and set-up considerable more. Strings nearly £40. Only selling, as I have got my eyes on something else that has come up on BC! Have seen others come up here, but none as good as this with the upgrades. The new 2018 models are coming in at £1200! Looking for £695 £625 I'm down in the Romney Marsh in Kent, collection preferred, but I'll post for free if required. I'd need a couple of days to acquire a box if that's okay! Payment by PayPal or Bank Transfer. Thanks for looking! SB

I'm hiding in the wardrobe. ....and yes, I did see what you were doing earlier! -
A real slim Jim, no doubt! I really shouldn't be looking at this - just quit band, pondering future.....and then the current GAS specimen turns up.....just as I would have modded it myself.....
