    [quote name='4000' timestamp='1414938894' post='2594832'] Anyone? [/quote] Sorry, can't help but I prefer maple boards as well. But the rosewood boarded jazz neck on my 63 is superb. Just have a chat with Mark and tell him what you are after, you are unlikely to be disappointed. Good luck, Karl.

    VERY regretfully over the weekend I have come to the conclusion I will never gig this beautiful bass. It deserves to be with the band on Strictly or Jools, not the Polished Knob in Todmorden (no disrespect intended). For a cash sale £1150 collected from Wigan, or plus £40 insured courier, UK. My TRADE value on it is £1250. I will be pinching some of Loz's advert. I would ask him but he's not been on since June and the ad is still in the public domain. Don't really want to disturb him. So. Sei Singlecut Series II (Melt) in cocobolo and flame maple. Basic details as follows: neck - 7 piece, flame maple and purpleheart board - highly figured birdseye maple body - ash with continuous wood cavity covers facing - cocobolo and highly flamed maple (bookmatched to centre) with 'melt' joint (also, black laminate between facings and body) pickups - bareknuckle PJ active pre - Demeter three band scale - 33" approx 19mm spacing at bridge, adjustable side markers - LEDs in red Very light at about 8lbs. Controls Push/pull for volume and side lights activation Pick up pan Bass and treble, centre cut/boost. Mid, push pull for passive/active, with passive tone control. Very happy to look at trades with cash either way. Sorry but must be 4 strings and fretted. CS Fenders and the unmentionable R word (do that through Karl Altdorfer on Facebook though please, not on the forum). Link to a previous advert [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/173063-sold-sei-singlecut-series-ii-melt-pj-configuration-headed-4-string/page__view__findpost__p__1610209__hl__sei+melt__fromsearch__1"]SOLD - Sei Singlecut Series II (Melt) - PJ configuration....[/url] Gutted.

    I won't buy a Steve Harris sig despite being a fan for 35 years. To me his ICONIC bass is the white 70's P with the Hammers crest and painted lines. THAT I would buy because to me IT LOOKS SUPERB! It also brings back memories of so many Maiden gigs. One day I may try to find somebody to fo the art work and just get it done on a standard P. Because it is so recognisable to Maiden fans, I think that at the Dog and Duck on a Sat night, it would send out a subliminal message to a few. "Yes, I know this is Summer of 69 but I would much rather be playing Phantom of the Opera"

    Done. Even though I only live 200 miles away now, wherever I have lived I have had a couple of pilgrimages every year. I will never forget the first time I just stared in wonder in 1981. We have had enough progress lining developers pockets thank you.

    [quote name='Kevin Dean' timestamp='1414848995' post='2593913'] Dam!! I over looked that. It's still a pretty good cab though even though it made me feel as though I had just paid full price for something outdated .

    Currently the MEX FSR P/J's have jazz (A) size necks as do the Deluxe Mex series. They are rather giggable. My FSR is first choice every week wherever we are gigging, despite it having some tough competition There is one for sale on FEEBay just now at £495, albeit the slightly earlier active run.

    What a stunning bass

    [quote name='gary mac' timestamp='1414837549' post='2593767'] That is handsome Karl. [/quote] [quote name='Chiliwailer' timestamp='1414842829' post='2593834'] Mate, that is stunning, nice one! The Dustys sure are great basses, but then so must be your new Jazz. Therefore, I reckon this won't be the last CS you buy..... [/quote] Thanks fellas, you are probably right. I would love a Pino, but over the last year, the realisation is I struggle with Precision nut widths. The other realisation is that, as many gigs as we do, 2 basses is actually more than enough. But we don't want to do that do we So, may be just keeping an eye out for another jazz neck CS, although to be brutally honest, the 4 basses I now have are all exceptional in their own way. Including the FSR Mex P/J, my go to at all gigs .

    [quote name='Kevin Dean' timestamp='1414778255' post='2593252'] The generation 3 stuff came out a week after I collected my super 12T , I was really cheesed off , & was offerd a T shirt by way of compensation .. I wish I was given a call . Anyway the two 2 x10 looks like a good idea . If cabs were kept in stock I would have probably ordered by now & no picture doesn't Help ..& I can't stand waiting for stuff . the 12T is still a great cab after all my moaning . [/quote] I was the same, with mine arriving a week before Gen3 came out, after a 5 month wait for the cab I ordered! I wasn't offered a t shirt and I was also cheesed off Having said that, really liking my 2 MB cab's stacked like a vertical 4 x 10

    I briefly had a Mex one of these in Sunburst (sold, long, stupid story ). At least as good as the 3 Japanese ones I had before it and the one I had weighed A LOT less than the 3 Japanese ones . Tim's a top geezer so deal in confidence. GLWTS.

    I have just sold Jordi my SEI. From the start to the finish he was an absolute dream to deal with. As with most of our European cousins, his English was amazing so fortunately we did not have to try to sort out a deal with my Spanish (tutors, a Mr. B Fawlty and his employee) Thanks Jordi, it's been a pleasure, enjoy the bass. FULLY recommended by this magpie gear whore, deal with Jordi with utmost confidence.

    Couldn't believe it when this came up relatively local last night. Custom Shop 64 Relic, Firemist Gold with matching headstrock [URL=http://s1354.photobucket.com/user/Karl_Altdorfer/media/DSCF0692_zps6a28b6ef.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1354.photobucket.com/albums/q693/Karl_Altdorfer/DSCF0692_zps6a28b6ef.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s1354.photobucket.com/user/Karl_Altdorfer/media/DSCF0691_zps69842b00.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1354.photobucket.com/albums/q693/Karl_Altdorfer/DSCF0691_zps69842b00.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s1354.photobucket.com/user/Karl_Altdorfer/media/DSCF0688_zps2f4f4cd7.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1354.photobucket.com/albums/q693/Karl_Altdorfer/DSCF0688_zps2f4f4cd7.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

    Nobody can enforce CASH on collection, end of. If a buyer chooses to pay by PAINPal, you either sell them it or refund and re-advertise, because FEEBay will force you through with the sale or ban you. A lot of people now use FEEBay as a shop window, with a bin price, 30 days advert and they pull it when the PM's come in. PAINPal can also hold on to your money even without disputes. It's frankly a nightmare but sadly, I think you are about to lose your money. PAINPal will very probably refund him, just hope you get the guitar back. Good luck.

    [quote name='timmchale2009' timestamp='1414691891' post='2592363'] Just to back up Karl on this one Marc, it looks very neat and you wouldn't notice they were stuck on, they don't peel either. [/quote] Spooky Tim, that's the aforementioned Glaub in your mitts, in your avatar, with the Sheehan style fretboard stick ons

    Lots of choice and they really do look damn good imo [url="http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/creative-cuts"]Member ID creative-cuts[/url]

    You see the odd ones advertised, often around the £900/£1000 mark, but if you look back on actual sold ones, it' generally been between £650/£750. I know of a beautiful desert gold one for sale on the Wirral. He has been trying to sell it for £1000 for 8 months. I would go to £800 but not £1k. Wish I'd been closer to this one

    If you do end up getting a maple board jazz, without blocks, Create Cuts in the states do superb quality stick on inlays. Easy to do, cheap, can't feel them, they look great and leave no residue if you remove them. Timmchale (above) bought a Lakkie Bob Glaub off me, that had their inserts on (not blocks, the same as on Yam Att Ltd fretboards). I also put some white MOP effect ones on an Aerodyne board, they looked exceptional IMO. It might just open up another possible trade for you. GLWTS
