[quote name='-Virtue-' timestamp='1384550914' post='2278195'] whats the controversy? [/quote] No controversy - just there's only one bloke, Chris Squier, who ever got a decent sound out of one

I can just about keep up with Tom he's fitting 'em as fast as I can build 'em another P-bass kit for a top gent, always a pleasure to deal with, perfect transaction Cheerz, John

Just spotted this; http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=141114705199&fromMakeTrack=true&ssPageName=VIP:watchlink:top:en I saw the £10K bid so had to look thought I would share it here.

Get a stand

[quote name='lowregisterhead' timestamp='1384003038' post='2271745'] Thanks for that folks - I may well have a go at swapping one around to see what effect it has. And it's nothing like the way a jazz 'spreads out' when you bring in both pickups Woodinblack - I know what you mean, but this just sounds wrong! :-) Has anyone got a wiring diagram they could post for a standard two-volume-one-tone passive setup?

No - nothing coming through, just had PM.

OK - I've unticked - signed out - closed - opened - signed in - reticked notifications boxes, will wait & see.

Well - after a few days of normality the notifications seem to have done a runner again is it only me?

[quote name='Telebass' timestamp='1383934083' post='2271071'] And here it is. Have changed the knobs and fitted Schaller strap lock pins, otherwise stock, and staying that way.

Yep easy job

PM coming your way Edit: Photo's of the wreck might help

Looks like a Boxer but can't make out the number after the 'Boxer', I think they range from 15 -30 - 65 watt with commensurate speaker size. If it's a 65, (IIRC with a 15" speaker), they're not bad for practise, low level rehearsals, maybe even small pub gigs, I'd say about £65 - £75. If it's a 30 W / 12" - OK for practise with a decent TE sound, £40ish, the 15 W / 8", £20ish, OK for a beginner. The guitar as already said would probably be £50 - £75 if it's good. Together I'd say £150 max, if the 65 W, that's not really 'mates rates' if you know what I mean IMHO Cheerz, John

Here's a twist - picked up from the Greco Birds for sale thread; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UYoezMi4TVs

Paul got in touch for a upgrade P-bass wiring kit, super communications, instant payment, a real pleasure to deal with. Cheerz, John

[quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1383640053' post='2266778'] This is the 1963 Selmer Catalogue: [url="http://s1128.photobucket.com/user/h4ppyjack/library/Other%20music%20related/Selmer%20Catalogue%201963"]http://s1128.photobu...atalogue%201963[/url] [/quote]1963 IIRC - I got 7/-6 for my paper round, 5 days a week about 6:30 - 7:30 AM & 10/- for Saturday morning butchers shop delivery, 8:00 - 12:00. Loved every minute saving up for bits to build my first bass

[quote name='Lowender' timestamp='1383579715' post='2266116'] Why the anger? [/quote]No anger intended - didn't I use enough smilies? Peace & Love, flower power, pass the pipe

Instead of looking at your piggy bank & shaking it about - you might have got a gig, formed a band, played to millions, had a rock & roll life style for 50 years, got old & grumpy & still have your old faithful P-bass to play - when the arthritis ain't too bad You can stick your piggy bank where the sun don't shine a P-bass won't fit

There's some good pictures on Sweetwater's page [url="http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/PBass63RFSBL"]http://www.sweetwate...il/PBass63RFSBL[/url] at £1787 here, as it's a new model - $1999 stateside doesn't make it worth importing Edit: I haven't seen the AV series serial numbers like that before, is it a new thing? Looks like they're starting with the year - V1316161 I assume

Now I've got serious GAS - thanks for that I've seen the 2013 American Vintage 'faded sonic blue' 63 P & very very nice they are too Now you mention it Kaz has told me she thinks the blue ones are 'pretty' - I'll have to work on that
