    I'm probably well wrong here but is it not possible to get your current neck repaired? If not, then I'm also with Rich on this one. Maple and mint.

    Very nice P-basses Nick. Thanks for posting.

    I really like the black pickguard look to this bass. It deserves a bump for that alone!

    Very nice 73Jazz. I have an 84 precision in ivory although mine has the rosewood fingerboard. I think you'll find that the pickup covers have also been changed from white to black to match the pickguard. These are superb basses from the era when good quality was once again being produced from the Fullerton factory under the leadership of Bill Schultz. I like my 84 so much that I purchased an 83 in black with maple fingerboard and am awaiting its arrival this week. All the very best with the sale, someone is going to get a beautiful bass.

    [quote name='paulmcnamara' timestamp='1342957237' post='1743088'] Following on from Hutton's comment: there is perhaps something a little disingenuous regarding relicing. At its heart we are try to make out that a bass is much older than it is; and possibly also that we have played it so much that the wear is a result of our gigging/rehearsing, wearing our musical credentials on our sleeve or instrument as it were. Of course the distressed look is fashionable too, and has been for some time in many walks of life. There is perhaps something about wanting to get to the destination without travelling the journey though..... think of stone washed pre faded jeans. I can't help but think that the promise oldness provides is an illusion. We often feel good about wearing our old comfortable clothes, because they feel part of us. But I wonder if we perhaps fool ourselves into thinking that a Roadworn Fender or a Nash is going to feel like an old friend from the word go? Its an interesting area of discussion and perhaps easy to see why thinking regarding relicing is often so polarised? Be interested to know others thoughts. (Hope I haven't hijacked this thread too much) [/quote] Absolutely spot on. I couldn't agree more. However, I always maintain that an owner can do whatever they like with their instrument so, that being the case, if relicing is the route then the advice of Rich (Ou7shined) and your own sensible approach should give you a good result.

    [quote name='gafbass02' timestamp='1342856179' post='1741849'] My little un loves my guitars but is very careful around them. She's three now but I still love this pic. [/quote] To get a wee one to look at the camera, to smile, and to hold on to the bass all at the same time is just fantastic. I can well understand why you cherish this picture. Superb!

    Thanks for the edit. All is well!

    Here's my 62 reissue when it was new. It's now a nice creamy colour. [IMG]http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c322/Williamwood/P8240175.jpg[/IMG]

    Are you selling? It's just that you say it's a feeler then you say you're looking for £250-£300. Your ad also appears to be a for sale ad. Forum rules require you state a definite price if you are selling.
  10. Hutton
    I've never understood the relicing thing and I don't suppose I ever will.
  11. Hutton
    I don't know why but when I look at this bass I think guitar and not bass. I'm sure it's because I'm an old fart that's a dyed-in-the wool Fender fan.

    [quote name='mart' timestamp='1342515613' post='1736284'] What, like the ones in the first post? [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/146803-wal-custom-fretless-mk-1-1983/page__view__findpost__p__1310397"]http://basschat.co.u...ost__p__1310397[/url] [/quote] Oops! Sorry. I thought I was on the first page. Anyway, it's a good excuse for a bump.

    [quote name='martthebass' timestamp='1342471183' post='1735849'] I've got a 2002 clone of your Ray......I paid £700 last year for mine and don't regret a penny of it. The 2eq Ray is just made for Fretless - even a half wit like me can get a great sound out of it. Cant believe yours hasn't sold yet (shaking head smart icon) [/quote] If it had been unlined and, I didn't have to travel to Kent, I may well have bought by now. Anyway, have a bump for a nice bass and all the best with the sale.
  14. Hutton
    Perhaps pictures of the front of the bass would help.
  15. Hutton
    A true great has left us. A modest and humble man who was a true master of the bass guitar. A sad day indeed.
  16. Hutton
    Those interested in this lovely bass should approach with confidence. Matt is a thoroughly nice chap who takes great care of his gear.

    [quote name='steve-soar' timestamp='1342137032' post='1730405'] f*** em. And all the bullshit that has ever surrounded them. [/quote] I suppose you're entitled to your opinion.

    SOLD

    Hutton replied to Jimryan's topic in Basses For Sale

    Chuck in a long-legged blonde and that'll make it even more sexy! That's a nice bass you have there and, by all accounts, they are very playable. If I had something to trade I'd be interested. All I can offer is a free bump.

    So sorry to hear about Freddie. I've got a couple of rescue dogs who do nothing but give me love and friendship. After losing my first dog some years ago I now always have pet insurance. It seems a pain in the butt to pay the monthly amount but when a huge unexpected vet bill comes in you just know it's worthwhile. I sincerely hope you can manage to hold on to your Precision. If it's just not possible then all the best for the sale. Basses can often come back to you after a while so keep tabs on where it goes. Also, huge respect for not accepting the whip-round idea. It takes a big person as they say.
  20. Hutton
    Thanks Geek. Much appreciated.
  21. Hutton
    Ok, just so as we're all clear. If anyone is interested in the case they have to contact you by pm to find out where you live. Correct?
  22. Hutton
    It may be an idea to post up where you actually live if you want a local collection.
  23. Hutton
    Does anyone have one of these? I'm trying to find out what they are like without much success. It's a Pignose PGB200 30" scale bass with a built-in amp and speaker. It can also be plugged in to a seperate amp. I found a site which doesn't say too much about the bass and only has two poor youtubes.
  24. Hutton
    The fingerboard on this bass looks quite dark like ebony. Is it just the photo as I understood that these basses only came with rosewood boards? BTW Clarky I bought OHM's fretless P which is the neightbour of this one. Very nice it is too!

    This one might still be available:- [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/175760-ftfs-hagstrom-viking-bass/page__p__1675230__hl__hagstrom__fromsearch__1#entry1675230"]http://basschat.co.uk/topic/175760-ftfs-hagstrom-viking-bass/page__p__1675230__hl__hagstrom__fromsearch__1#entry1675230[/url]
