Sold. Fender American Vintage 57 reissue Precision with hard case.
karlfer replied to karlfer's topic in Basses For Sale
Back up for sale. This was withdrawn for a week and a half due to electical issues. Luthier has given it a clean bill of health, and me a serious attack of sarcasm. I take two basses to each gig. The spare is sat on a stand, with lead attached. So any issues, one jack plug out of amp input, another jack plug straight in. Changing basses takes less than 10 seconds. On the night in question, my P went horribly scratchy and died. I instantly changed basses. EXCEPT IT WASN'T THE BLOODY P THAT DIED, it was the lead I was using on the P. Even the Mrs is smirking. Anyway, back up for sale. As you were -

Just asking really. I had a splendid back up rig which I sold. Stupidly Streamliner 600 through two GB Focus 1 x 12's. It was a terrific rig and weighed nowt. Few months after selling it, I got to thinking Fender bought/shut GB, wonder if their 1 x 12 Rumbles are based on them, and how do they compare. Anybody been lucky enough to have both?

Won't help, but would recommend a listen to Dave Bainbridge's Celestial Fire album. Dave is, and always has been, just a prodigy, but he's worked stupidly hard as well. I had the honour of going to school with him, and being in a couple of bands with him in the 70's. I was 17, he was 16, the band did a night club in Darlington. We did America (The Nice version). At 16, on a little Fender Rhodes, Dave did the lot. Currently on tour in America playing keys for The Strawbs, his main squeeze is IONA, although he did the Queens thing in the Park, played for Jack Bruce and countless others. He does a lot with GB3 as well. When I was with Troyen, he offered to put some keys on if we sent the master over to his studio. The other three muppets declined his offer . Phenomenal musician and one of the nicest guys you will meet. AND STILL CHAMPIONING PROG [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=12isbLP8Sf0"]https://www.youtube....h?v=12isbLP8Sf0[/url] [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xn31A36Dp8Q"]https://www.youtube....h?v=Xn31A36Dp8Q[/url] If you like prog, buy Celestial Fire by Dave Bainbridge

karlfer replied to NancyJohnson's topic in Bass Guitars
It is a shame Gibson don't do a few more colours in basses. I had a white '84 Explorer bass for donkey's years. And it had a proper bridge.Still regret selling it. The Silverburst and Tobacco burst RI's just didn't tempt me at all. Now, a Sea Foam Green TBird OR Explorer, with single chrome covered pup would certainly get the credit card out -
Fri night, great. Last night, PITA. Get there "we'll clear the area when the football finishes". 300 other bloody screens in the place but she wouldn't let us ask them to relocate. Most of them being in since early afternoon. Then of course, boxing on in the 1st set. By the time that was finished they were all pissed up, half asleep and going home. So we end up doing 2nd set to about 20. No wonder loads of bands (according to thread on North West Bands) had mysteriously had to cancel Sat night gigs .

[quote name='Cato' timestamp='1463914938' post='3054882'] They do limited production runs of p basses with jazz necks every now and then. Hasn't the Nate Mendel signature got a Jazz neck? [/quote] No, the Nate is 40mm, between J and P. P/J's pups, Precision body, jazz neck for me live. Mostly P pup solo'd but J blended in a touch when the song dictates. Oh and, green. Much better tone from green [URL=http://s1354.photobucket.com/user/Karl_Altdorfer/media/13124700_1120433004643431_456964581275824768_n_zpswmm0rhnn.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1354.photobucket.com/albums/q693/Karl_Altdorfer/13124700_1120433004643431_456964581275824768_n_zpswmm0rhnn.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [url="http://s1354.photobucket.com/user/Karl_Altdorfer/media/004_zpszmppmync.jpg.html"][/url]

As per title, two tone burst, this is the '57RI with raised A pole, nitro, 1.75 inch nut, C shape neck. V serial no, made in 2012. DAFT light at just on 8lbs. Good condition but it's nitro so two nasty little chips and a couple of tiny can't photo chips and a little bit of "certain light" scuffing on the back. The last one to sell on here was an immaculate re-fin at £1000, hence my price. £1000 collected. Meet up, no charge between Carlisle/Leeds/ just North of Brum. Extra £45 UK insured courier. Apologies for the photos, was trying to beat the next bit of monsoon. These are now discontinued, the replacement '58RI sells at around £1550. The original GG case is in the loft, enshrined in a blanket, it will be included. I'm going to put a link on with some owner reviews, plus one of the very few You Tube reviews I can find. These seem to be very well thought of by owners.

This is the last of my wide necks (except the Rick), so would ideally like; 64 American Vintage Jazz RI (Sonic Blue FSR would be ace ) 75 American Vintage Jazz RI Any trial in Wigan, your rig or mine.

Mark is the funniest guy on Basschat with a wicked sense of humour. I always enjoy his posts. His reviews are superb as well. So, he doesn't need this, but I've just done a deal with Mark. Everything was absolutely spot on and I think it's the most I've laughed in any transaction. They don't come any better than this geezer, fully recommended and a pleasure to deal with. All the best looney tunes, if you are reading this
