    I'm trying to find out what bass the guy with Morcheeba is playing. He appears with the bass briefly at about 1:18 into the clip. I can't read the name on the headstock but thought someone here would recognise the bass. Thanks! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XwFoVdNCmDU

    I remember them on 'Later with Jools Holland' when they played 'Part of the process'. I loved it and often go back to the youtube when I need to chill. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XwFoVdNCmDU

    Do you have the original hard shell case?
  4. Hutton
    Does the price include shipping? Is there a case included? Thanks!
  5. Hutton
    Are there screw holes where the chrome covers go? It's a bit difficult to tell from the pics. Thanks.

    Nicely done! It was nice before now it's marvellous. Enjoy your bass.

    [quote name='bh2' timestamp='1389645126' post='2336562'] My fretless P has a heavily laquered maple board... to save wear on the actual wood methinks. My fretted 78 Ray also had a heavily laquered maple board. It had worn away in the usual places. I don't recall ever seeing a raw maple board, guitar or bass. [/quote] Sorry for not contributing to the thread but I just have to say what a magnificent looking precision!

    Lovely bass but offers upwards of £3k is still not stating a definite price. This is not an auction site.

    Is this the same bass Michael? http://www.theguitaremporium.com/Fender-Japan-JB66B-FJ-JB66B.htm

    I have done business with David at Cotswold Bass Guitars on two occasions and found him to be courteous and efficient. I wouldn't hesitate to do business with him again. Hope this helps.

    The knobs are ok for a 78. The neck looks spot-on for the period. The seller has stated what isn't original so he appears to be upfront about the bass. The colour is unusual for a 78 although he does say it is rare. It may even be a faded sunburst. I was wondering if the body is a bitsa with some of the original stuff fitted and some not. It's a difficult one to call. I suppose it depends on how high the price goes if it would be worth having a punt.

    The plate doesn't look right to me. The shape seems too 'pointy' although this may be down to the photo. It should also have the Fender 'F' logo stamped on it. It should be a three-bolter but the plate somehow just doesn't look right.

    Remember that if you're using flatwounds they don't like thru-body stringing.

    Very nice Michael. You do realise however that you've now upset me. I recently acquired a Jazz after only playing precisions and am enjoying it immensely so much so that I fancy another Jazz. Now I know which one would fit the bill. Just a shame that I'm skint after Christmas. Enjoy the bass my friend!

    [quote name='Bassassin' timestamp='1388337111' post='2320919'] This is a straight-up auction for a beat-up JV that's been in someone's loft for the last 20 years, and prior to that, has had a hard life of abuse & neglect like 99% of budget, second-best, throwaway cheap JapCrap instruments. It's always good to remind oneself how these instruments were seen in their day, and why it is they're so scarce now. Most of them will have been chucked in landfills decades ago. Jon. [/quote] I agree wholeheartedly with this.

    [quote name='bigd1' timestamp='1388656215' post='2324354'] Well you bunch of miserable sods, easiest job in the world to pick faults in something. Do you really think it was a bad show ?? I thought it was a great show, only thing not really my thing was Charlie. although I wouldn't say he was crap, just not my thing. I thought the playing was great & for a change BBC put out a good sound. Oh yeah. if I had a £14k bass I'd be playing it even if I had just one note to play all night !! Happy New Year you miserable *&^%$£*& Ta very glad [/quote] Yep!

    Did the original pups have white covers? Nice bass!

    Talbo, I see that you are quite new to basschat. Every forum has its own ways of doing things and you are quickly finding out ours. This is seriously a great place to buy and sell gear if you take on board the suggestions that are being made. People don't ask questions out of idle curiosity and if you don't respect their need to know the answers then you are seriously reducing the amount of people who may buy your bass. You should also appreciate that people may have been stung in the past by sellers making claims for their instrument which turned out not to be the case. That is why pics and details always give the optimum chance of selling. We are nice people and we just want to see and learn about what we are buying especially when a couple of grand is involved. I hope this helps and good luck with the sale.

    For the uninitiated/thick/dense/uninformed members among us could somebody spell out what the hell this thread is about.

    [quote name='MiltyG565' timestamp='1388490107' post='2322520'] Oh right - I absolutely agree. That's why I said if it's not on the amp, the shop assistant should be finding out immediately. [/quote]
  24. Hutton
    [quote name='MiltyG565' timestamp='1388488566' post='2322499'] But you were talking about shop workers knowing the price, weren't you? Most of our stock has a price tag on it, I just don't know the price off-hand. I can usually give a pretty good ball park figure though. [/quote] The point I was making was with reference to an earlier post where the shop assistant didn't know the price of an amp which was out on the shop floor. He then promised to email the customer with the price and didn't. The customer went back to the shop to further enquire and the shop assistant was still none the wiser because he hadn't bothered his arse to find out. The price should have either been on the amp or available at the time of enquiry. There is no excuse for this sort of shoddy retailing.

    [quote name='MiltyG565' timestamp='1388487925' post='2322488'] Most shops have hundreds of lines of stock. You can't expect somebody to know the price of everything off hand, especially slow moving items. If somebody came in to the show when I'm working and asked the price of rosin - I wouldn't know, because it sells so slowly. If they asked the price of a set of Ernie Balls, I would know, because they sell quite well. The difference would be if the person in the shop said "I don't know the price" and didn't make any attempt to find out. [/quote] No sorry. I used to work in sports retail which also had hundreds of lines of stock. No goods went out on the floor unless they had a price on them.
