    My pleasure I think this is the only one I can link to now the auction has finished.

    Bloody Basschat!! All that build up of Shergold GAS made me buy one on eBay just now. Scruffy as hell, non-standard pickups, but it should put my Marathon demons to rest. Expect to see it for sale on here in a fortnight ...

    I think that very often bassist can take this too far and it is easy to end up with some awful tuba type noise. Yes, you can hear it in the mix but it isn't pleasant. One of the worst offenders I have heard recently was a gig by The Zombies. The bass sound was so harsh - either the soundman or the bassist (Jim Rodford) had got it completely wrong. It might have sat well in a punk band but not the Zombies. Of course it varies from song to song if you are playing covers and it entirely depends on the sound you want to generate but, as a rule, my bass isn't particularly noticeable except when it isn't there.

    Just sold my Epiphone EB-0 to Bryan in the simplest of transactions. Friendly, concise comms, meet up half way, deal done. A pleasure doing business, sir!

    [quote name='Paul S' timestamp='1380106450' post='2220797'] Bought some strings from Daniel in a totally smooth, pain-free transaction. Good price, quickly dispatched, well packaged. Wouldn't hesitate to buy from him again. [/quote] In fact I didn't hesitate to buy from him again - same again, more strings.

    Quality blog - captured the day perfectly

    I would imagine you are pleased - I think they have gone for a good deal more recently. I absolutely love the look of these but the neck is just too wide. But everytime one pops up I look at the listing longingly.

    That is good to know. Don't do what I did and use Dulux Woodsheen...

    Bought a J Retro - concise prompt comms, good price, well packed, speedy dispatch. Recommended!!

    Tom just bought my Silver Series Squier Precision. Totally trouble-free transaction - he came, tried it out, said 'yes' and left me with a pile of used £20s. If only all dealings in life were so straightforward! Enjoy the bass, Tom.

    And now sold, th'th'th'thats all folks!

    How about that! Small world etc. I bought it from an eBay seller named Iain in Lancashire, I wonder how many more links there are in that chain!
  15. Paul S
    Please! Pm on its way.

    I think if you like them it is a good thing that they aren't expensive. My Pantera X790 was at the time the flagship model for Westone basses - best of the best - and it shows in the way it has been finished. I wonder how much a mid 80s USA Standard Precision or Jazz would fetch in showroom condition? Bloody sight more than my Westie, I'll bet, which cost me £500.

    And on hold!

    Quick update. I've replied to PMs (thanks!) and have someone coming to view it tomorrow. Also - I am sorry but I don't want to ship it outside of the UK. Without a hard case I can't help feeling a long distance courier is asking for trouble.
  20. Paul S
    No, not the same bass! The Gumtree one is cheaper than mine!!
  21. Paul S
    If you aren't far, pop round for a hassle-free noodle and a cuppa.
  22. Paul S
    I'll give it a little while first, if that's ok.

    Shameless plug, my Silver Series Precision is now for sale at £200 http://basschat.co.uk/topic/217932-silver-series-squier-precision-black-l200/

    Another victim of my bass cull. I bought this on eBay out of curiosity and discovered that, straight out of the case, it was the nicest Precision bass I have tried. Silver series were the last of the Japanese made Squiers (serial number says 91-93) and I think it is generally accepted that they raised their game for this final push. It is black with BWB scratchplate, maple neck that has a dark rosewood fretboard. The tone is remarkable, dark woody and moody. Everything a Precision bass should be. It is lightweight at around 9lbs and the neck is skinny by P-Bass standards - 40mm at the nut. Fret wear is hardly noticeable - plays and sounds like a dream. Body is a little scruffy - couple of dinks out of the paint here and there and a dink near the jack input. Not much bucklerash, even though the pic I took is useless. Pictures show a Badass fitted to it - I will take this off and put the BBOT back on unless you especially want the Badass, in which case it will be an extra £40. If it is so good why I am I selling it? Good question. I have assembled a Precision to my exact liking that is even better and this does nothing the other can't. No point having a double so it is going to help fund another crazy project (Musicman pickup into a Westone Thunder Jet). I am asking £200 collected from South Benfleet in Essex. Or meet half way. Or I can deliver for fuel costs. I have a gig bag and can package it in that, with bubblewrap, in a box for posting, which will cost £25.
