[quote name='W1_Pro' timestamp='1458317087' post='3006599'] Hello Shaggy, Is that the same T bird you did a Fenderbird conversion on? If it is, do you still have the neck and would you be interested in selling that? Many thanks and GLWTS. Best Stuart [/quote] Replied via PM

[quote name='evilLordJuju' timestamp='1458073256' post='3004487'] Has that Explorer bass still not shifted? [/quote] Hope you're well Jules, and Lol, no - not even Flyguitars loves Gibson Explorer basses! Think I'm now contending with cetera's Spector Rex Brown sale thread as the longest running, but actually not too sorry as I've rediscovered the Explorer again, as it suits some new band material - it's surprising the extra speed on runs achievable on a medium scale neck compared to my usual long scale

Gobsmacked to see this up FS. This was mine for over a year, I had it restored to original spec by Electric Wood (Wal) and can supply the buyer with the invoice for the work done (£1300 worth!), which they did to their usual fabulous standard. Technically not totally original, though on the other hand it's golden era mid-80's Wal - I was told the handwriting on the control panel label was Pete's - but with the benefit of brand new p/ups and preamp, and 100% of the work has been done by Wal. I've played a good few Mk 1 Customs and this is in all honesty far and away the nicest playing and sounding. Can't say I remember it being particularly heavy, though no Wals are light. Only moved it on to Chris as I had the chance on a 1914 Gibson F4 mandolin, that I'd have done anything short of murder to acquire .... I'd predict fairly confidently that this is likely to be the last reasonably priced Wal that we'll see FS anywhere, and I'm currently counting my pennies to see if I can buy it back!

Takes me back - only bass that I ever bought new, in all the 100's I've owned..... Lovely example in great nick with fabulous grain - if you didn't know it was stained ash it could almost be cocobolo Bump for Ibanez's finest

[quote name='Beedster' timestamp='1452629075' post='2951883'] I'd love to see you in a white one-piece rhinestone jumpsuit Greg [/quote] You silver-tongued devil Chris....... The Man-cave - oops I mean Studio - looks fantastic, hope you won't regret selling that lovely Wal though Dan - this bass will bug me till it's sold! How does it compare as a players instrument to that superbly refinished '57P you sold a while back?

Jeez, I'd feel like Elvis with this bass........ Bump for a top fella to deal with, would soooooooooo love this

....and now sold

Selling a Delano PMVC 4 FE/M2 split-coil P bass pickup, boxed, been fitted but in near new condition. I've literally only just bought this for my latest "boutique bitsa P" build, as I've only heard good things about these pickups, but the build plan has now changed and I'm going for a more vintage look Manufacturer spec here: http://www.delano.de/products.html?&cHash=ddc58fffeb&tx_smtdelano_pi1%5Bcat%5D=1&tx_smtdelano_pi1%5Bseries%5D=6&tx_smtdelano_pi1%5Bstrings%5D=5&tx_smtdelano_pi1%5Bsystem%5D=45 - they promote is as a "rock" pickup with a Stingray-esque edge (these are factory fitted in some Sandberg basses), but reviews suggest it's actually a very transparent and articulate pickup - http://www.talkbass.com/threads/delano-pmvc-fe-m2-review.863048/ Looking for £50 plus postage - save me from committing to yet another project........
