  1. Hi flip, Weight is very light - nothing compared to my Jazz! As for the balance it's also very good. To update the original post this is now on ebay: [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/CORT-ELECTRIC-BASS-GUITAR-ACTIVE-optional-HARD-CASE_W0QQitemZ330350716647QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV?hash=item4cea6fe6e7&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/CORT-ELECTRIC-BASS-G...id=p3286.c0.m14[/url] Thanks, James
  2. Never far from my email I'll try and stay connected as I have the Cort and the Fecker on ebay!
  3. Then you need a GB44 Now, if only I could think of someone selling one....hmmm...... Cheers, James
  4. Now on ebay, come on BC'ers, someone from here buy it and keep it in the family!
  5. I kid you not, try one of the Classic Vibe Squiers at the moment. These are, pound for pound, the best value in the Fender lineup at the moment. Stunning basses for very little wonga.
  6. Who manages Scunthorpe? I think that's me....probably buy an awful lot, but it all adds up to about 50p
  7. They are good value and great quality. I think we're done here? Actually, in today's market, I don't think Jap Fender guitars are necessarily always all that great value, some of the prices being asked for them exceed the cost of USA built ones and a good guitar is a good guitar, regardless of where it's made! Cheers, JAmes
  8. Hi all, Bought this earlier in the week, but simply cannot make the transition between the necks on this and my Jazz - have now got a Fretless Jazz which will use as my backup (once back from the repairer!) The following is stolen without permission from OldGit's writeup. I've done nothing to the Bass beyond a quick clean, some Fast Fret and played it a bit! This is an SX/Noname '62 Sunburst / Tortoise / Rosewood Precision copy The cavity has been fully lined with copper. The scratchplate has been foil backed. It's eerily quiet for a P bass The basswood (I assume) body is unmarked and has a fine sunburst and deep gloss finish. Pickup is a Wizard Thumper with CTS Pots, Switchcraft Jack and Sprague capacitor. All wiring is in vintage cloth covered wire and the pot/capacitor values were decided upon after a chat with Andy at Wizard pickups. The bridge has been replaced with a Wilkinson Vintage bridge with Brass Saddles. New string tree and Fecker transfer, (lacquered over) it has a really nice neck, plays and sounds just great, fools the unknowing and gives the knowledgeable a laugh. It has Glowdotz side markers ('cos I just can't see those tiddly things Fender and SX use ) They are white but will glow in the dark if you shine a light on them first It's got new Trace Elliot light gauge strings with lovely green cotton windings. Now on ebay. Collection is fine too but would have to be this weekends only at the moment. Likewise, postage would be done on a weekend only Pictures, for they speak a thousand words: Cheers, James
  9. There's room for both, and with the strings coated in Fast Fret, the Chilli sauce doesn't soak in...win/win!
  10. I make no claims to have tried every string in the book, but I find Elites (Stainless Steel) are just fantastic for me. Yes, you might get 1-2 gigs extra out of a set of Elixirs, but that doesn't justify the huge jump in costs. Oh and a dab of Fast Fret as and when they need it. Cheers, James
  11. Bought a fretless 'Jazz' from the good Doctor. A minor problem very quickly resolved, fast postage and superb communications throughout. Buy with confidence, the guy is a diamond.
  12. ...come down to sunny Stevenage over the weekend! Pick up the bass and see the sights, we have three McDonalds in 2 square miles - what's not to love?
  13. Last minute bump - if it doesn't sell today or tomorrow it'll be withdrawn for a while!
  14. In my experience, 35% is pretty realistic. Let's face it, what's in it for the shop anyway? The only way you'd get that figure down is if it doesn't go through the shops books at all...any many won't be that keen on that...
  15. Purchased an SX 'Fecker Pretender' from Si and he even met me a cool 100+ miles away from his home to deliver. Top chap!
  16. Cool, I might get in touch offering the seller a load of Genuine Kelvin Clien, Tony Hilfinger and BORS clothing stuff....
  17. This sort of stuff irritates me. If I were selling a Metro but didn't know much about cars, would I list it as a Ferrari? No I wouldn't. Therefore people should be more careful with their listings as it is a little naughty to misrepresent an item regardless of whether you 'know better' or not.
  18. [size=7]Price drop! Now £50 without the castors - collected this week[/size]
  19. ROCK CASE - SEMI HARD CASE AVAILABLE for the above guitar. Just add £15 Cheers, James
  20. I hope so! Meanwhile, I would consider offers for cash on collection for the Cort - need the cash as I have a holiday coming up! Cheers, James
