  1. Crikey mate, if you're getting rid of that I'd love to see the pre's you're keeping
  2. Quote of the day But it is amazing, the either simultaneously bring the full force of their left hand to bare on the doorbell whilst at the same time banging the door heavily with the right and shouting at a level that would wake a hibernating bear, or somehow manage to get the card through the door as per the above post.....?
  3. There are good and bad people, and good and bad practices, in all courier companies. My UPS guy is outstanding, he carries rolls of 'FRAGILE' tape with him and asks whether we want stuff labelled before he takes it to the depot. He's on occasion added extra tape to boxes for me when he thinks they look undertaped, and he even hand wrote a message from himself ("This is the collection driver, please do not place any items on the top of this customer's box") when I sent an acoustic a while back. He's under a hell of a lot of pressure and often works 12 hour days, but despite this he's polite and friendly, and never rushes.
  4. These came out of a fretless Jazz and I've replaced them with an old pair of Di Marzios. They're well used and the cover of the bridge PUP is either worn or has been replaced (SD logo has gone). However they work 100% fine and sounded very nice in the Jazz to be honest, kinda makes me wonder why I changed them, but such is life £40 for the pair posted seems fair, they retail at around £80 per PUP from Thomann https://www.thomann.de/gb/seymour_duncan_stk_j2n.htm and https://www.thomann.de/gb/seymour_duncan_sstkj2b.htm
  5. Lollipops, need I say more These are new although the packaging is a bit beaten up. £60 including insured postage Cheers Chris
  6. Ha ha, my girls would love him/her, they're all about dogs at the moment
  7. Offers on the Line 6 Pod Pro, great piece of kit
  8. I've listed this at £800 on eBay as I've a few things I could use the money for. Bit of a bummer as it's an outstanding and rare guitar, and worth a lot more. I'll keep it open for a few days and if it doesn't sell will keep it
  9. Thanks Harry, it's a great amp and if it wasn't for the incoming Buster I'd hang on to it, but there's only so many Mesa amps one man can own (so my other half tells me anyway)
  10. I have its exact twin, there is something absolutely magical about the maple board fretless Precisions of that era, unusually for 70's Precisions, I've never played a bad one (and I've played a lot of them).
  11. Ah, the great live album that was mostly recorded in the studio. Having seen quite a few of the 70's great live at the time, it was pretty clear that had those performances made it to tape, the live albums in question would have been disasters. The story of the edits to Rock of Ages by The Band is quite amusing also
  12. Hey Mart, is there a difference? Fender bridges have been standard for both basses since the early 60's as far as I'm aware. If there are Jazz versus Precision string spacing issues at the bridge I've not come across them. Of course I may be wrong
  13. Daughters and congas is perhaps a combination to be avoided
  14. Thanks mate, I am really interested. Although it's clearly a pathology as I've just sold a load of project basses, I still have the perfect neck for that body
  15. Took these out of the studio yesterday and let them in the garden where my two daughters got hold of them. Wow, they are f*****g loud and powerful things; I guess given the history of similar drums, that shouldn't be surprising, but I was still really surprised by just how much viscera-modifying bass comes out of these things even twenty or thirty feet away. Odd that the classic recorded conga - thinking lots of 70's funk tracks, and recalling seeing Curtis Mayfield on TV in the 70's - is nothing like this, much more the percussive slap of the hand on the skin as opposed to what comes out of the other end. Probably explains why they're so bloody difficult to record in a small room also
  16. Bump for pics. Looks a little dusty which shows how little I've used it recently, plus generally a bit grubby. With the exception of two small tears in the tolex (shown in the photos) it's in very good overall condition. When it's been moved around it's been in a flightcase. Cheers Chris
