LEDs on a 91 bass, however it's unlikely that Warwick would be able to do anything for you (they are a factory fit I assume). You may be better off going to Simms or similar but someone competent with a multimeter may be able to identify if it is an easy fix.

The vertical storage shouldn't have any impact whatsoever, I'd have thought it'd be a completely different reason. How old is the amp? I noted that you are in N Sields (I'm less than 10 miles away), I can put you onto a couple of very good local technicians who could give it a service (which is the least that I'd recommend if you are relying on this whilst on cruise/ferries). Better to be safe than sorry!

Yak! It's blue... he should be offering a discount on the BIN for the colour.

I have to agree with WoT that the whole song is great, first half (non-F1) section is as good as the 2nd half. We used to cover it (putting a twist on it) and when you get to the chorus you can really let rip and do stuff with it, especially if you have imaginative musicians that can go with the flow and use a bit of imagination.

So is this for sale by a BC member or is this in the wrong place?

Relisted for £1000.

Ooooh but that's one fugly headstock!

[quote name='gary mac' timestamp='1318351693' post='1401049'] A 59 P bass for less than the cost of a 70's one, I would be/am truly suspicious. Bargain postage price too. [/quote] LOL Hadn't noticed the courier cost, I'm even more sure that it's genuine now... NOT!

Oh and he states you are NOT to hit the BIN button... me thinks he's going to ask you to move the asking price one decimal place! LOL

[quote name='mojobass' timestamp='1318349245' post='1400995'] just saw this: [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Fender-Precision-Bass-1959-/320773765237?pt=Guitar&hash=item4aaf9b3875"]http://www.ebay.co.u...=item4aaf9b3875[/url] I'm having it if anyone can help me verify it!? Ive emailed the seller for more/better /detailed pics but no reply yet! [/quote] And he has FIVE of them for sale!

[quote name='Rick's Fine '52' timestamp='1318192163' post='1399110'] ...and for the current price of £500, is still a great buy for someone. [/quote] Technically £640 at present when you add on the £120 shipping and where do you stand with regard to import duty/taxes from Japan? With 6hrs to go it could go up further but I'd say that £640 +taxes isn't exactly cheap!

[quote name='Johnston' timestamp='1318179897' post='1398918'] Is it actually a misaligned bridge or has someone used the wrong groove on the threaded saddles to try and get a wider spacing or just cocked up a string change? [/quote] To get that G string far enough off the edge of the board you'd then 'seriously' have it misaligned over the saddle!

[quote name='Ou7shined' timestamp='1318178894' post='1398900'] Actually (he said twiddling his moustache) it's a misaligned bridge that's the problem. Check out where the strings go over the pups. [/quote] Good point. Still sloppy!

[quote name='cetera' timestamp='1318079509' post='1397880'] Completely overpriced & sensible offers have been rejected. Seller obviously clueless about value... [/quote] I agree but he's probably hoping to recoup some of the money spent on the case... which tbh is a lost cause as it's very difficult to justify asking more than £10-£20 for that sized case regardless of what it cost new!

[quote name='Clarky' timestamp='1318176460' post='1398852'] as in G string falling off edge of board? [/quote] I'd say so, a misaligned neck for sure. Not unfixable but if you were buying a MIJ P bass and paying top money you'd want the neck lined up; I'd be bitterly disappointed if I bought that without noticing or the seller describing that issue.

The guy is very correct in stating that it is a Fender JV (non-export) not a Squier JV and has loads of high res images... though not so many that show the whole of the length of the fingerboard from straight on; can you see why?

First off; I have a dodgy shoulder so I am one of the first to ask the weight of a bass (9lb+ and my shoulder is shot after a gig). However, in answer to the non-specific question of whether the weight issue is a modern thing... 20+ years ago there was no bass forum on which people discussed/sold/bought basses! I believe it really is that simple; media/communication. 20+ years ago you may have read about the weight of a bass in a magazine and were you the sort who had a dicky back/shoulder/knee/whatever, you'd have given said bass a wide berth and yes I do recall discussing the weight of 70's Fenders with friends, especially as I had a Fender weighing 12lb which likely as not contributed to my knackered shoulder!
