  1. Yes I do - there's also quite a concave bow in the neck hence tweaking the truss rod.
  2. Was it a red one by any chance? I've just received a red one and the action is way too high. I've tried tweaking the truss rod and still can't get it as low as I'd like. I'm just wondering if it's the one you returned.
  3. Angus recently bought my Steinberger Sprit XT. He was an absolute pleasure to deal with throughout & is a top guy! Cheers Angus!
  4. I have the exact same bass (also without scratch plate holes) - they are really punchy, mine is now my main gigging bass. Good luck with your sale!
  5. I've just been to pick up a lovely Precision Bass from Rich. He's a really nice guy to deal with & the bass was exactly as described. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Rich. Thanks for a nice easy transaction Rich & for a lovely bass Cheers mate Steve
  6. Just bought a Hipshot Super tone bridge from Rod. He despatched it very quickly & it arrived very well packed. Rod is a pleasure to deal with & I highly recommend him Cheers Rod!
  7. Just done an exchange deal with Mark on my Fender Mustang. He has been great to deal with all through the transaction with no problems at all. Hope you enjoy the Mustang & thank you for a nice easy transaction Cheers Steve
  8. Met Nick early this morning. He bought my Epiphone Rumblekat & was a real pleasure to deal with throughout. Many thanks for buying the bass Nick hope you enjoy playing it Steve
  9. I'm sure that's the one I saw for sale in a tent at a steam rally near Kettering in September (I kid you not). If it wasn't this one it was a very similar configuration - it was definitely a Hutchins branded one in blue. I remember thinking it was an odd configuration to produce. The guy had quite a few in different configurations from different manufacturers including a Strat/Jazz twin neck that I was prevented from buying by the current Mrs Tazza & it was only £150! Mind you with no way of testing them as he had no amp there it could well be that she saved me from myself!
  10. Thank you - it does look really nice & plays really well. Maybe it's too close to Christmas?
  11. I've just bought Tim's Ashdown RM110 from him. Very friendly communication & was kind enough to wait for payment until I was paid. The cab was exactly as described & arrived very quickly & very well packed. It was a real pleasure to deal with you Tim - thank you very much for a nice easy, smooth transaction. Cheers Steve
  12. [quote name='Bassassin' timestamp='1482404011' post='3200204'] 99.9% it was a Columbus before it was refinished & had its logo sanded off. Columbus was an incredibly common UK brand but Cimar is very uncommon. Seller seems to be making stuff up in order to pretend it's got an Ibanez connection. Which it hasn't and wouldn't really, even if it was a Cimar. Which it's not. [/quote] I've only ever seen these in sunburst so it's nice to see one in a different colour. So it is probably a ply body then? Certainly the sunburst one I have, which I suspect is similar to this, is ply bodied. I must repair it some day.
  13. There's a nicely aged Jap Crap Jazz on the Bay at the moment. The seller says he thinks a Cimar, it does have the chrome truss rod cover & Made In Japan neck plate which you find on 70's era Japanese copies so it could be any one of a few generic brands. Not a bad price either - if it wasn't just before Xmas I probably would have bought this except for the fact I now mainly play short scale basses. Hopefully Bassassin will be along soon!

  14. I've just sold my Vintage Modified Jazz to Craig. He has been a real pleasure to deal with through out the transaction & paid for the bass straight away just as he said he would. You can deal with confidence with Craig. Many thanks for buying the Jazz Craig & I hope you enjoy playing it. Cheers Steve
  15. Weighed this this evening on the bathroom scales (by weighing myself first then weighing again with the bass) & it weighs 9lbs or 4.2 of those new fangled kilograms [quote name='tom1946' timestamp='1481693724' post='3194321'] What does it weigh please? [/quote]
  16. I've still got one! It was my main gigging amp for years. I tell myself it's a back up but the truth is I can't bear to let it go. 150 loud watts & I could get almost any sound out of it with all the switching options & the graphic on it, fantastic amp. I paired it with 2x10 & 1x15 Ampeg cabs - that rig would be way too heavy for me to cart around these days though. [quote name='LewisK1975' timestamp='1480942530' post='3188197'] I had a Laney head back in the day, a DP150? I think? One of these: [attachment=233433:Capture.JPG] IIRC, it was pretty good! Can't remember what I traded or P/X'd it for, was a looooong time ago! [/quote]
  17. I've just sold my Violin bass to Lloyd. He's a nice guy & it was a pleasure doing business with him. Hope you enjoy the bass Lloyd Thanks Steve
  18. Hi - I'll weigh it for you when I get home this evening Taz [quote name='tom1946' timestamp='1481693724' post='3194321'] What does it weigh please? [/quote]
  19. Thanks mate! They look great too with a maple fingerboard & black blocks. [quote name='Adethefade' timestamp='1481645873' post='3193997'] For what it's worth folks, my mate's lad bought one of these recently - forget about the S word, it absolutely sings! [/quote]
  20. It is a shame - sorry about that mate! [quote name='therealting' timestamp='1481569402' post='3193371'] Shame I'm in London! [/quote]
