Apologies for very poor comms with several folks, it's been a very busy week work wise and I haven't been able to get on here as much as usual. Will try to reply to everyone now. I've realised I've got a lot of bass bits here so keep you eye peeled for the garage sale soon

Belated thanks Clarky

Waiting to have confirmation form first guy to PM re the fretted Jazz, I'll get back to PMs later this evening. Made the mistake of sitting down for ten minutes earlier and playing these, lovely, all of them

Mate, my warehouse sale just happened

Hi all, I've had loads of PMs about these last night and this morning and I have to work today so can't get back until this afternoon/evening. Precision is definitely sold and paid for (thanks Walshy) fretless Jazz is sold pending the usual, and the fretted Jazz is still available although there are a lot of people interested. I know it sounds a bit of a chore, but I will get back to people in the order they PMd, please accept my apologies, and please don't get angry with me if it takes me some time

No, sorry

That was my thinking to be honest Paul

It's been both sad and therapeutic to sell these bitsas, they're all lovely instruments that I put together slowly and after much trial and error (probably more error than trial if truth be told) over a few years. So, sentiment says keep them, but for a very long time I've realised that all I need is a decent P/J with frets and the same without, and having had the former for a fait while now, t looks like I've finally got the latter courtesy of the below (and oddly the neck from this bass belongs to the body of my fretless P/J). Thanks for all the positive comments and enquiries folks, much appreciated. Chris

Number 2 on hold pending the usual

Number 3 sold

I have so many pieces of old instruments lying around Stew, bridges, bodies, pickguards, PUPs, I really should sell them as I want to start playing and recording basses again as opposed to finding bits of wood and metal that work really well together only to sell them all and start again Re that body above, I bought a set of heavyweight brass hardware from Walshy (I think) - bridge, pickguard and thumbrest - polished them to a shine and put them on that body and they looked amazing, but it weighed in at about 7lbs without PUPs, circuit or neck Having said that, I like building really heavy basses, putting on a set of La Bella Deep Talkers, taking the action to about 12mm at the 12th, and taking it to rehearsal, because both our singer and guitarist fancy themselves as bassists, and trying to nail Sympathy for the Devil on such a bass whilst I'm taking a toilet break tends to dissuade them. As has been said many time, there's four of us in the band and three of them are better bassists than me, I have to get my wins where I can

That ain't weather beaten Stew, this is weather beaten, the body that the Russian replaced, but a lovely lump of wood nonetheless

Did you miss it Jack? Next time mate

As I think Nik the Silver Fox felt as well, watching that video of your band made me long to be gigging again, really powerful yet effortless performance. Love it

And now if I don't sell the three bitsas this is replacing, me and the kids won't eat until Christmas, and then it'll be toast only Shameless plug
