What? How? Lol!

Well, one of the chaps said he didn't have a spray booth at the mo (just moved apparently- so totally fair enough) and the other didn't reply to my messages, which was a bit boring.

Still, to paraphrase the always relevant David St Hubbins, in the hurly burly world of rock n' roll, these things happen...;0)

drew a blank with all of these suggestions I'm afraid.

Anyone got any other names?

Thnx.

These are spectacular basses.  I've got a '78 Primary, which is a country mile better than the Fender Precision I owned from the same period.

This is a freaking bargain.

+1 to that.  Completely brilliant instruments. I'm sorely tempted.

Try both and tell them I sent you. 

I shall, thanks Dan.

Suffolk's a big place! Colin Fulton in Little Glemham, north of Ipswich, would be one person to consider.

Thanks Pete,

I shall drop him a line.

Evening all,

I have a stripped P bass body that I need spraying in tobacco sunburst.

Does anyone know of a handy chap/ette in east anglia who could help?

I know some of the more talented (or reckless) among us would suggest doing it myself, but I am deeply hopeless at that sort of thing. 

Best left to a pro, I fancy.

Any and all help much appreciated.

Lovely bass that. GLWTS

Lovely bass. A bargain for someone. GLWTS.

I've been looking for one on and off for years, they seem to be fetching quite sensible money these days. IIRC I've seen them go for about £700ish on eBay. I did win one with issues for £280  a couple of years ago and then the seller ratted. Bah humbug.Good luck with the search! 

Lovely work Andy. Are they all rub on finishes?

 I really like that six string you built for yourself. Nicely put together..;0)

Bought an Ashbory off Dougal. Smooth and easy. Nice chap. recommended.

Lovely job that Andy. 

a lot of bass for the money. 

Blimey. Someone has fitted NL4 outs to the micro tech.

I want a Black one but the car is slowly going tits up and getting in the way of any purchases in the near future  

Will the deteriorating situation at Gibson affect the availability in the future, or is Epiphone a stand alone company again these days? 

That is a good question...

Why did you take the raiser off?

Aesthetic reasons really. I thought it looked a bit cheap and nasty. 

I've put flats on mine, taken the plastic pickup raiser off and lowered the action. It's growing on me.

I still have a AH150 head - still plenty loud enough for most situations.

These are TE watts FFS!!!

Awesome machines. I had an AH150 running a trace 8x10 for about ten years from 1986. Never ran out of gas. Stupidest thing I ever did was sell it. There is nothing like an old trace 810.  

As someone said further up the thread, it's the solidity of the note you get. It's like a PA cab....

They aren’t in the same place as the standard knobs would be so I assume is something to do with holding the ROM unit in place. Possibly magnetic? Anyway I believe this bass is now sold

A good buy for someone then!  Thanks for the info Ped...:0)

I've always had a soft spot for the graphite necked Vigiers and this is obviously a bit special.

But please tell me those aren't  plastic plugs covering the redundant control knob holes....please.....

I'd like to trade my iAmp 600 for something class D.  Probably with cash your way.  Something like a GK MB800 fusion, an Eich, etc etc.

Hit me up with what you have.

I bought this from Karlfer about a year or so ago ago, It's a fine machine. I think I've managed to use it once in the ensuing period. Still in very good condition. There is a very minor bend in the front plate due to the stress of being mounted in a rack. I'm being very honest here, tbh it's so minor you probably wouldn't even notice.  

Here's a link to the original sales thread:
