    [quote name='tazza1' post='897615' date='Jul 17 2010, 09:11 PM']I started playing on the guitar version of this - bloody awful!! Very high action, you couldn't set the intonation & the bridge height adjustment screws were just in the right position to cut your hand to shreds... & they did!! Horrible things - it's a wonder I carried on playing.[/quote] I'd corroborate this. I remember Jedsons as being firmly in the same camp that the cheaper Columbus models occupied, in fact, some Columbus models were better than the Jedsons ! Usually brings back memories of Audition guitars - the Woolworths brand. Both Jedson and Audition did cut your fingers to shreds - Picato or Monopole strings were an upgrade ! T

    I've gigged a streamer stage 2 that had this damage and had been repaired. It was rock solid and gave no trouble at all. There is hope for this one, despair Ye not. T

    Thanks Neil, that Precision has a good home here. It's never easy to find that 'right' Precision, but this is the one alright. As Borat would say, s'nice !! Thanks for the cup(s) of tea mate, I really needed that after that journey in the heat yesterday. I felt dry- roasted by the time I got back. Jake's a lovely puppy !! warmest welcome anywhere, bless 'im. If you're down this way any time, drop in and we'll go for a beer cheers Tom

    Just travelled up to Neil to pick up a Roadworn Precision. Got a great welcome from Neil and Jake and spent some time discussing this an' that. Neil also picked up a new toy today (your secret to tell Neil), so we were both very happy bunnies indeed I'd recommend Neil any time of day, good to deal with, no problem at all. By the way Neil, I won't tell if you won't cheers Tom

    Just bought a Yamaha Bex bass from John. When it arrived, both the bass and the case it came in were in better condition than I hoped for. A nice surprise indeed. John was even patient enough to wait for the money to come through over more than a few weeks, including all the things that come along in the meanwhile. Sound bloke, no hesitation recommending John as a reliable man to deal with. cheers Tom

    Just got a different bass from John, in great condition and he made it easy for me to do the deal too. You can buy with confidence from this man, sound as a pound. Have a bump on me T

    I'll stand up for those Peavey amps - they really do deliver the goods and have a rep for being practically bomb proof. I use one regularly and it's never failed to please. Highly recommended T

    [quote name='cm261' post='887936' date='Jul 6 2010, 11:36 PM']Congrats on the sale mate! Was sorely tempted to buy this, but was umming and ahhing over whether or not I actually NEEDED that much power (which I really don't). Glad someone else has come and got it to make up my mind for me [/quote] thanks for the kind words. Wish I had more rigs like this as I could have sold this one a few times over. all the best T

    Welcome Haven't heard of the rees before, but if you're interested in buying British there's also Everson guitars, which have earned some good reports. Certainly worth a look cheers T

    Hi everyone Due to rig change around, up for grabs is one EBS proline 1 x 15 Henry cab. This is the full size cab, not the half size 300 model with the 15" speaker. EBS 1 x 15 cabs gives that 'tight' focussed sound to the bottom end frequencies, often described as 'piano note' clarity. It's the model WITHOUT the tweeter, so it really will give you the bottom end from hell It's 400 watts and a 4 ohm rating, as shown in the photo of the back of cab. Overall, the carpet is in good condition, with one ding in the top left edge (as viewed from the front) which is shown in a photo below. The corners have mild scuffing, but I wouldn't describe it as unsightly. I've stood a jazz bass (which doesn't come as part of the deal, of course ) for scale I'd like £240.00 for this one please I'll also deliver within 200 miles of London for petrol costs thanks for looking [attachment=55948:ebs_cab_8.jpg] [attachment=55949:ebs_cab_1.jpg] [attachment=55950:ebs_cab_7.jpg] [attachment=55951:ebs_cab_5.jpg] T

    Hi folks After the usual rig change around that happens from time to time, my Ashdown rig is up for sale. A tower of power composed of; Ashdown MAG 600 head, MAG 4 x 10 deep cab and MAG 1x 15 deep cab, I originally thought they were in good / very good condition, until it came to taking the photos. It was then that I remembered that the Cab covering is in good / very good condition, with a small scuff at the top leading edge of the 4 x 10, which doesn't notice until you're up close. Even then, the cloth can be brushed to obscure it, so it's more superficial really. The grills look like they have been pushed in places though, so I'd give the overall condition as fair / good. I'll see about straightening these out. That's a lot of trouser blowing power, all for just £240.00. I've downgraded the price a bit to reflect the grills not being completely straight. I'll even deliver it inside 100 miles of London. How's that ? I'm only moving this on to finance a bass around here that's really tempting, otherwise I'd be keeping it. [attachment=53554:P1020630.JPG] [attachment=53560:P1020632.JPG] [attachment=53566:P1020638.JPG] I'll upload some pictures very soon thanks for looking T
