Nice natural finish... I really like the SR body shape and necks... unfortunatly i could only streatch to the GSR200...

Used to be more 'TheGreek'... Marriage then kids priorties change, Motorbikes and Music take more of a backseat and more 'Woodinblack' My music has taken back off from where it stopped, except for thd likes of the Black Keys or Muse... but hardly a modern thing... Now, eldest is older... taken on my CD collection, so more in the car CD amd Radio XFM or other..., im using a simple Sony Mp3 and headphones for a music fix, steal an hour or so when i can, same goes for the motorbike... full-on hi fi emergance experiance in the lounge is long gone...

Always blown away by the 'vision' and build skills of these threads...

There is a product used by those in the motorcyle fraternity... Called ACF50... a bit WD40ish but... not cheap for a single use Well have a google and a read .. GT85 is another with PTFE and lavender... WD40 is in most peoples garage or shed though...

Ibanez PU3.. Small... Bright... Red Lo, Nice White Bar and DOT when OK, Green Hi... On with Clip... Auto off... Only used on standard EADG

Bastards... Same as bike thiefs.... Cut of their Air.

Dont think there is a Folkstone branch, a UK postal address office in Folkstone, with a phone on re-direct. Got my Ibby GSR200 from Bax... didnt realise they were not uk untill looking at the parcel tracking... parcel is in netherlands depo, i initially thought they had sent it to the wrong place! Admittedly it was a few quid cheaper...

This recent talk of Rush... Had 2112 and Moving pictures on CD for ages... orderd Signals and Grace under pressure on CD from amazon to replace the vinyl up in the loft... Saw them at Wembly Arena back in 83... Signals Tour... @mikebass456 Jacob's Ladder - sending good vibes and bass tremours to you and ya brother...

more 'fitting' with a 'tele' rather than a 'P'

likes the grain thru paint look... but that neck?!?...

Nice...

Seller decided to pull the listing... due to a 'new project that the bass will come in handy for'... Missed Bargain or...? Oh well...

Had a bit of a go through... as Kristo states... process makes more sense now - Reverb act as a 'Holding Wallet' rather than the funds going direct and Bye! Fingers crossed on a deal...

Bass listed on Reverb... Collection Only... which is local to me. but all i have is an Area Postcode / SE London But, e-mail trail, Bass looks good in pics, I made an offer which he accepted. Does not want Cash on Collection - Wants Payment cleared before he gives any details for collection - Happy to pay-pal on collection - Strange? Not keen on paying up front, when i have no details on where to collect and only have the pics to go by - listing is no returns, but he isnt delivering... Not familiar with Reverb Head says NO - Heart says NBD! Who knows what?

Just dug out my 'Yesstory' double disc compo... Ripped and on my MP3 player for latters. Since getting a Bass a few months back has revitalised my listening...

Hope this isnt against the rules... Anyone got a PMT on line discount code? Got a bit if GAS... but could do with a few quid off...

Those scratch plate / pickguard holes? - Nope... looks like the screw heads are too small and the holes are not countersunk properly...

@ Bassfinger - Gold Machine Heads?... Nice

Nice Job... Hand tools and fine skills I really like the plain look... might have to go for the sharpie look... prolly cost more to de-dot than the cost of my Ibby 200...

Not a tourtoise fan... White Blocks... White Plate... If it had black blocks then black, but the pearl... pearl makes it look more distinguised, like wearing a cravat... but elegantly understated a 'bit', which is enough... rather than tort or paisly... gairish... style stays, fashions fade... get a clear one...

801 Live https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/801_Live Just arrived from Amazon... More Manzanera Project stuff... (Roxy musos and something to do in their down time...) Manzanera / Eno / Simon Phillips / Bill MacCormick '76 experimental work - Live - with an 'Out There...' vibe...

Started a few months back... Got the Dummies and the Complete Bass Method from eBay, world of books etc... Get both for the price of one new... Dummies had a fair bit of nonsense, but an easy read, Complete Bass Method missing some tab early on but their are no short cuts... Spiral Bound Complete Bass Book stays flat when open! - worth a couple of quid extra on its own...

@ NickA... That is almost everything... Real Nice...

Maple or Rosewood fret board? I do wish P bass were rear routed / control cavity... the body shape just says function would look so simple and elegant with just the split coil and 2 knobs.. maybe an edge jack or stratocaster jack plate... get to see more wood... and a neck with no fingerborad inlays... wish i had the skills to make one, or the money to have one made...
