It's really just a case of doing your homework so you know it's period correct. Your level of knowledge sounds about where mine is and I've never been ripped off buying a 70s Fender (yet!)

All my Precisions have the thumb rest in the same position - see pic

I just sold a 2006 Ltd edition Fender Precision for £525, I'd say you shouldn't be paying over £600 and bear in mind that pickup configuaration won't be for everyone

I'm a bit late to the thread but I always get my copper shielding from EBay as it works out cheaper

I'm an hour away* in Berkshire and you're welcome if you don't get any better (closer!) offers *1hr 5mins according to AA Routeplanner

I have to say I've been enjoying my SP210 cab with my head. I have other cabs (Ampeg) but this sure is a neat little package

I assume you know a bit about what you are buying? Original parts are key and if you can get the full history it's a huge bonus. I own 70s Fenders which are all original with original strings / case / till receipt and 70s Fenders which have loads of parts replaced. All are well set up and play great but obviously a huge difference in resale value

Hi Ron - Welcome on board

Great introduction! Welcome

A lot of these older recordings are like this, as said. A bit annoying but not the end of the world. It's only Wyman after all, I'm pretty sure there are no advanced harmonics on unusual frets

Mark appears to have 2 threads [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=87335&hl=fluffo"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=...5&hl=fluffo[/url] this being the other one. Aside a monster marathon drive to Dartford yesterday I picked up Mark's 76 Jazz Precision hybrid bass. Very cool guy to deal with, easy transaction & he was patient enough to wait for me to get paid first too Would certainly be up for a trade again. Oh & he even managed to dig out some flats in my gauge and brand as I'd said I liked them! Result.

Welcome to the forum A very festive sounding name you have there!

Welcome to Basschat. Your username is very similar to Ped who runs the site. Hopefully people won't mix you up!?!

[url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OEo9Bh679wM"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OEo9Bh679wM[/url][/quote] Nearly made my original post. Hope you don't mind but I'll embed this into the thread

My band use [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/G7th-PERFORMANCE-CAPO-6-STRING-GUITAR-/230538252948?pt=UK_Guitar_Accessories&hash=item35ad269294"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/G7th-PERFORMANCE-CAP...=item35ad269294[/url] which is about as good as it gets. Or the Kyser one is ok too

I have a lift off style case on my Bassman head. Looks very very cool but the flightcase does add serious weight to what for me was already a very heavy piece of gear. Ultimately I think the choice just comes down to taste. I wouldn't bother with my Orange head but as the Bassman was vintage gear I wanted the ultimate protection.

Not the MU from me (which sounds like a great idea) but I insure my gear through Musicguard & I automatically get £1m free cover for public liability unsurance on top of my gear protection.

Not come across 7 personally but then I don't go looking for the recent kit normally. This list is spot on!

Just smooth off the edges. I had a crack in a headstock & subsequently kept putting my thumb on the crack. When I repaired the crack I sanded down around the crack & you can no longer feel it. Job done

Welcome back. I was very active in the old Bassworld days & have enjoyed the new site more having had a break. I'm sure you'll feel the same

Hi Lee, welcome to Basschat. I too use Wizard pups in my P basses
