  1. It's stunning with natural character. If it plays and sounds great, keep your unique beauty.
  2. Mex Standard Ltd Ed. opal/pearl white with matching headstock. Can't find a 5 I'm afraid. http://www.reidys.com/pr/electric-guitars/fender-fsr-special-edition-jazz-bass-white-opal-23395/?&utm_source=GoogleBase&utm_medium=Feed&utm_campaign=PriceComparison&gclid=CNejzq2F6tACFRAW0wodsJMAqA
  3. NOT Pro series but wonder if these will make their way over here. I like the cosmetics EDIT. They are here. £690. Tempting! [url="http://s1354.photobucket.com/user/Karl_Altdorfer/media/s-l1600_zpssd7mizii.jpg.html"][/url]
  4. Thanks Adrian. Fingers crossed for your shoulder.
  5. I've had probably about 10 BC'ers come to see bands I am/was in. Apparently laughter is a great tonic
  6. I ordered a Fender Tweed case from Bax a year or so back. Decent price, £115 at the time. Took over 2 weeks to get to me, repeated emails to them and they couldn't have given a monkey's wang. Never again.
  7. Seem to remember Geezer (and Tony) were big fans back in the day. Some of the new Nexus stuff has scary amount of controls.
  8. The next bit of joy from all this is used 2005 Standard Precisions on FEEBay at £1100 (well they're £1500 new now guv ). They can bloody well keep 'em. I only gig my 2 rather special Mex's, so Fender, think I'm out now.
  9. £1500 for a slightly tarted up, renamed US Standard. Gotta affect sales this side of the pond surely?
  10. [quote name='Thunderbird' timestamp='1481056785' post='3189412'] Wish I could afford this Glwts [/quote] Thanks Paul [quote name='lloyd' timestamp='1481057824' post='3189418'] Karl, ffs just swap it for my Gibbo......�� [/quote] I would have swapped it (plus a few quid your way ) for your Gen3 SuperTwin Lloyd [quote name='tom1946' timestamp='1481091285' post='3189578'] hahaha, I'm a [s]bit [/s]err a lot slow sometimes. [/quote] 5th pleaded
  11. I meant shoulder pain from having a large lump of wood hanging of it. The shoul.........oh never mind
  12. [quote name='tom1946' timestamp='1481020480' post='3188964'] Ha! in a pigs eye you want less basses, go on make me an offer I can't refuse, I'm liking the weight... [/quote] I think it's supposed to work the other way round Pike Anyway, light as it is, it's still over 8lb Tom, so a bit of a risk for you.
  13. These basses were originally known as Bob Glaub basses. Lakland renamed them a few years back. They could always be specced with a jazz neck, but few made it to the UK with that spec change. Lovely basses in general and very tempting with this jazz neck. Buyers will not get a lot of chances with a used one of these.
  14. [quote name='tom1946' timestamp='1480971661' post='3188640'] I'm agog, what more DO you want? It's red, maple, light and I like it too, pity you won't accept my Ibby as a part-ex.... [/quote] Hello agog. Less basses is what I want
  15. Thanks Shemeck, I think so to. I've now had 11 basses offered against this (and two quite tempting but not quite there cabs!). No cash, no Barefaced. Rather liking it with the gold mirror, it's a rather light US Precision, what more do I want
  16. Final flagellation of this deceased equine. Now wearing her spare gold mirror plate, ready for a Mr. Dunn tribute . Black plate stil included. Case isn't, it comes with Fender Deluxe gigbag. Would still trade for Barefaced SuperTwelve/SuperTwin [URL=http://s1354.photobucket.com/user/Karl_Altdorfer/media/002_zpswdebncgd.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1354.photobucket.com/albums/q693/Karl_Altdorfer/002_zpswdebncgd.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s1354.photobucket.com/user/Karl_Altdorfer/media/001_zpshjqsesxn.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1354.photobucket.com/albums/q693/Karl_Altdorfer/001_zpshjqsesxn.jpg[/IMG][/URL]
  17. I got one and sent it almost straight back. SS version, clipping came in quite early on all basses, but with the American Special, it was coming in stupid early. Which led me to use the pad. Which lost a LOT of volume as it's -15db.
  18. I'm guessing if the photos have gone, the amps gone?
  19. Don't quote me Paul, but I'm reasonably sure the Pro is replacing the standard. Seem to remember there were a couple of improvements including MM style truss rod "wheel". There's a long thread on here somewhere.
  20. Further PM's replied thank you. Would trade for immaculate Barefaced SuperTwelve/SuperTwin. A thread on these basses. [url="https://www.talkbass.com/threads/p-bass-american-standard-vs-special.780895/"]https://www.talkbass...special.780895/[/url] It's going to get Ducked at the weekend .
  21. I have also made a valiant attempt Lewis PM and bump.
  22. Fender JB65 115 NR , hootenanay button, heel adjustment [url="http://www.fantasista.pw/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=7178"]http://www.fantasist...roducts_id=7178[/url]
  23. Find an American Vintage 57, in my limited experience some of the finest basses to leave America. Not the investment potential of a pre CBS but unlikely to lose money.
