  1. That is one of the most stunning Jazzes I've ever seen
  2. Any more for any more? I will need to make a decision by late tomorrow night
  3. What a lovely bass Tom. Be even nicer with a gold scratchplate and cream pup covers Good job it looks like it's gone
  4. Finally got to meet Andy after years of trading insults and info . Just as great a bloke, face to face. Immense knowledge and the bass I bought from him is a wonderful instrument. Thanks for everything Andy, doubt it will be the last time . Fully recommended by The Wigan Gargoyle.
  5. [quote name='thebassist' timestamp='1474977105' post='3141947'] From the website. ----- "The 2016 Artisan Postmodern Bass is a thoroughly contemporary combination of Fender’s two most time-honored basses. Its roasted ash Precision Bass body features a gorgeous Tasmanian blackwood top and lacquer finish, paired with tinted quarter sawn AA flame maple Jazz Bass neck with a 1960 Jazz “U”-shaped profile and compound-radius (9.5”-16”) round-laminated rosewood fingerboard. Other premium features include hand wound 1962 Precision Bass® (middle) and Jazz Bass (bridge) pickups, rear-load controls and 1960 Jazz Bass wiring, medium jumbo frets and bone nut, A-string Stealth string retainer, RSD bass bridge, Custom Shop certificate of authenticity and black case."

[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I don't dislike it but £3149 is just so overpriced in my opinion. I actually can't believe that pricing.[/font][/color] [/quote] I thought I was reading one of those poncey menus, reminded me ofThe Gosforth Park and Brown Ale Sorbet
  6. I'm sure I read that, post Brexit, Warwick want payment up front from UK dealers, so I wouldn't be massively surprised if UK dealers just quietly let stocks sell through and then equally quietly forget about being dealers. I know I would if I were being dictated to like that.
  7. Thanks fellas. Fairly inevitably with me, it's looking academic, looks like the bass is on it's way tomorrow.
  8. [quote name='Thunderbird' timestamp='1474565632' post='3138882'] Karl nice basses love the green one black one not foe me but I dont like to be the bearer of bad news but I think something or some one has taken a sh*t next to the Antuiga bass Oh its ok I looked again its a Rick lol [/quote] You're a very naughty boy
  9. 1. He was online 10 mins before I posted, viewing "Basses for sale". 2. It's only 19 months since the last comment, don't exaggerate
  10. PM' s replied, thanks folks. Martyn, you know what to do EDIT. In some of the photos, strings/hardware look a little tarnished. They aren't (see photo #1). Just very strange light in Wigan yesterday. I blame upcoming zombie apocalypse.
  11. Thanks for the comments guys, food for thought
  12. Lucky boy, I've been trying to find one for months. Enjoy
  13. Is it possible? Has anybody done it? Cheers, Karl.
  14. Took this from a friend in part ex against my 4004 c11. It owes me £900 but I know I'm not going to get that as a cash sale. Even though they seem to be pushing £1700 new now. So, it's a 2014 Bongo, in Bongo case. Obligatory head stock chip but other than that superb condition. The colour seems somewhere between very dark grey and black, with little shiny bits in it. Plays SUPERBLY!!! I am actually in two minds, if it had a passive option it would be going nowhere, it really does play that well. Sorry about photos, the clouds are a funny colour in Wigan today OK TRADES. Straight swap for EXCELLENT conditioned 2013 onwards Fender P or J (or Hot Rod ). Might take a part ex plus cash I have a fair bit of money to trade up to a Fender Custom shop. Any trial in Wigan (your rig or mine) willing to meet up with 50 mile radius of WigaN, no extra charge. Insured courier £40 in UK. Feedback linked at bottom of post, any questions welcome. Thanks for looking, cheers, Karl.

  15. I rather like these, work well on both Rick and Fender, not too taught, not too loose, well, for me anyway http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/361711320377?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&var=631022568351&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
  16. [quote name='gjones' timestamp='1474579746' post='3139055'] Japanese Squires had the truss access at the the neck but not 62 reissues. I suspect someone has added a Fender decal to a MIJ Squier. [/quote] That's kinda what I'm thinking.
  17. I had one offered, on Facebook, against a certain bass last Sunday. I declined as it's just too much going on. And I REALLY don't like the scratchplate shape.
  18. Damn, damn and thrice damn, my unmentionable didn't sell in time. I'm going to cry now Er, sorry, I mean congrats.
  19. It's interesting that both the new Jazz and Precision Mex Deluxe now have active/passive switching like their more expensive relatives [URL=http://s1354.photobucket.com/user/Karl_Altdorfer/media/s-l1600_zpse4y7a9av.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1354.photobucket.com/albums/q693/Karl_Altdorfer/s-l1600_zpse4y7a9av.jpg[/IMG][/URL]
  20. For me Martyn, don't remember seeing ANY 60's RI's with truss rod adjustment at headstock. Seen a few Squiers like that though
  21. Think you'll find businesses need to "speak" to admin about affiliation
