    I've just bought a gorgeous Rickenbacker 4003 from George! Seamless transaction - loads of photos, totally accurate description. Communication 100%. Packaging was superb, would have withstood a nuclear attack! Deal with total confidence - really great guy to deal with. Thanks George!

    I saw them last March, and he was still with them then - and I struggle to think of another drummer I've seen who was sooooo spot on all night. Amazing. Maybe going next year as well - but a real shame if Jet can't do it....but according to the Wiki, he is 74!!!!

    Where's Jet???

    I'm getting one of these - should have done it years ago! http://www.amazon.co.uk/Planet-Waves-Pro-Winder-String-Winder/dp/B0002E1G5C/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1354641275&sr=8-1

    Great book. I've must have read at least 5 or 6 Jimi bio's! Actually, some of Jimi's live stuff is amongst my favorites - 'Who Knows' (with BoG), 'Tax Free' (got a great version from 69....LA Forum if I remember) and 'Jam Back At The House' at Woodstock....pure chaos!

    Massive JH fan here too. Also must disagree on the IOW - on the basis of the video and soundtrack, it still blows me away! Everything Jimi did was years ahead - and as a result, left us with material that still sounds inventive in 2012. Big nod to the bassmen....I love Noel's playing (although I have read it often knocked) and Billy's. Very different, but each taking the sound to different paths.

    Is it short-scale? Maybe it's just the way it appears!

    There's certainly money in metal!

    Stick with the Precision, Ms. Undead! I sold mine (as you spotted) - foolishly - and ended up dumping everything and getting another!

    Looks and sounds great! Why are all the new more 'abstract' Fender's all Squier or MIC?

    I'm currently down to one bass - it's quite liberating!

    Thanks Dave - mutually perfect feeling over here too!

    Sold my USA Jazz to Dave - a great man to deal with. Payment was instant, communication excellent. As a BC'er who's now bought from and sold to Dave, I'll say it again - deal with 100% confidence. Thanks Dave!

    I agree with much of what has been said. A few years ago, I'd have been in the 'give it time' camp. But in the last 18 months, I've really taken a long time to come around to if it's no good, get out. In my experience, if you're not happy, it never gets better! Life's too short to put up with it. If I couldn't find the right band, I'd rather play alone until something else comes along.....which it always does.

    [quote name='Evil Undead' timestamp='1351164820' post='1848085'] That flowery pick guard is amazing. Joking aside, lovely bass, wish I could afford it. [/quote] Lovely Precision for sale - knew Ms. Undead would be lurking around here somewhere.......!

    Sounds like a great bass! Well done on the Markbass set-up as well - same as mine - swear by them, great combination.

    Bit of interest, but still available - I'll bump it just the once as I'm sure most people have seen it already!

    That is one gorgeous finish - great price too.

    [quote name='Evil Undead' timestamp='1350822934' post='1843806'] Oh spongebob. Why do you always have to sell basses I badly want but can't afford? [/quote] This is the last one to go - my GAS has quelled in recent months - so I promise to torture no more Ms. Undead!

    Having finally tracked down a Roadworn Jazz at a sensible price, I want to move on my gorgeous USA Precision to release some funds! Bought this year from Bass Direct, she is an immaculate example - 3TS. Has been fully set up by local Luthier James Collins of 12th Fret - plays as good as it looks. The only mark I can see is a few very, very light surface scratches on the pickguard. Can't be picked up by the camera, but to be truly picky I'll mention them. Serial number starts US10, so I assume it was produced that year? I'm no expert on the serial numbers! I wasn't too big on the Fender case, so it comes with a my brand new Gator GPE-TSA case. Hate having to part with this....but I'm looking for £675, £700 couriered in the UK. I think that's about right for an as-new beautifully set-up Precision? All extras included and unused - strap, cable, etc. Based in Tenterden, Kent for collection if wanted. Have bought and sold through BC before, so have feedback - buy with confidence. Please PM for any further interest - Iain

    50% for me - like the clarity/boom mix!

    Any Chic album. The James Brown box set 'Star Time' covers his career really well, loads of single-only stuff you'll struggle to find elsewhere.
