  1. Cheers, just ordered a cover for me valve head, been meaning to do it for a while
  2. Tough crowd. How about ill build the bass (expect pups and harness), string it with new-ish Picatto Flats, give it a set up and offer delivery within 10 miles for £50? There's a pic further up of what it looks like built and a decent pic on the Precisions thread in Gear Porn
  3. Out of interest (and for a free bump) what is the amp in your 'stack' picture, 2nd one down on the right. That silver grill cloth head would look great sat on my bassman cab, shame i love my B120 so much at the moment
  4. feel like im on Dragons Den here but....maybe we could persuade the OP to let me buy the combo (ill collect) and then could offer P&P on the bass (obviously shouldnt be too expensive now ive taken the heavy part)?
  5. no interest on anyone going 'in with me' on the deal. You get the bass, i get the combo?
  6. Right, ill sell the body with matching Fender decalled rosewood neck, tort guard, thumb rest and a set of unfitted elephant ear tuners (all you'll need is pups and wires for a Pino look.....£50 collected from Manchester?
  7. Ill throw this out there peeps. Id love the combo so if anyone wants the bass maybe we could do some sort of deal. Im not a million miles away from Leeds so i dont mind going over to collect if someone on here wants the bass we could do a deal between us, £75 for the two is a bargain so rather than try and haggle with the OP on a split i thought id just guage if there'd be any interest if the bass was picked up from Leeds and brought back to the correct side of the pennines? (joke BTW before i get a yorkshire lynch mob after me
  8. would love to try a set of the black nylons on my Bison (apparently the bass they were invented for). Bit pricey tho and i do like the sound of the current Roto fkats i have on it
  9. No worries, give us a shout if it falls through, been after one for a while

The last image shows what the body will look like with the supplied tort guard and thumb rest. Neck pics to follow shortly
  11. cheers Oli, in no big rush,wont be goin to the tech till after payday. Ive never even taken the chassis out the box so who knows what lurks in there. Just thought i could at least try chaging the pre-valves as i know they are fairly easy. Will give you a shout re: the valves. Cheers
  12. Ive had my B120 for around a year now and its time it went in for a service. I think the tubes are original so im preparing for the news that they need replacing. Ive had a look at the usual suspects (Hot Rox and Watford Valves) to see how much i can get a set for to get fitted should the Mullards be pronounced DOA. I think i might have a little go at changing the pre-amp valves using Mr Foxens build diary as a guide. WHen i look through the top vent i can see a glow from 2 but not the others (maybe in a shielding can?) So i think thats me needing 1 x 12AT7 and 4 x 12AX7 plus obviously the 6 x EL34 power valves (how much glass!!!!) Recently the amp is a little 'farty' at first but once fully warmed up (maybe 10-15 mins of full playing) it does get better. Looking at the amp i dont think the thing has ever even been opened up so it could be an expensive service. Just debating over whether to take it to Dave Lunt (highly recommended but a few horror stories) or David Pye in Preston (seems well recommended and fairly cheap). Anyway, i know there are a few SC guys on here so anyone recommend a good Valve supplier incase the worst happens
  13. Before anyone says ''wouldnt a shorter jazz cover just be a P bass one?'' From the pics ive seen the 'wings' (bits with screw holes in) seem to stick out much further on P ones where as jazz seem more rounded
  14. Please bare with me while I try and translate my rambling ideas into something remotely followable. Ive currently got a very botched original burns bison bass body. My plan is to get close to the original 1963 style ones that I love. Even tho the body is original the bridge has been replaced with a P bass looking High mass bridge. As such I cant find any bridge covers to fit over it…..However, even tho I cant find any to fit over it neither can I find any that resemble the original Bison shaped covers anyway, a kind of Semi Circular effort. The closest ive found (or dreamed up) would be to take a standard Jazz bridge cover and (somehow) cut through it to ‘shorten’ it. Basically to chop it in half (just after the screw holes) to shorten the ‘tunnel’ as it were. Then I would have something remotely close to the shape I want…. Now also I would have to change the bridge to something more ‘normal’ size (maybe squire P bass bridge) so the modified cover would fit over it. As the cover would be on im not overly worried about their being a few screw holes in the body, as long as the cover DOES cover them. So I guess my two questions are:- [list=1] [*]Would it be fairly easy to chop a Jazz cover in half? [*]How easy is it to replace a bridge (i.e should I take that bit to a tech?) [/list] Hope this makes sense, it does in my head but that really isn’t saying much.
  15. Rick'sFine'52's Ric 4005. Its my dream bass, the first thing id buy if i won the lotto would be a 4005. Drooled over them for years, a lovely cherryburst style one and id die a happy man. Id happily trade ALL my gear for one
  16. Posted in here before but thought id mention again...if any 'japcrappers' have any tuners like this knockin round in bits boxes id be very happy to swap them for cash. Its for a project im working on and these are proving a very difficult bit to obtain.

  17. Greg bought a tooled leather strap off me. Fast payment and good comms. Cheers Greg, enjoy the strap
  18. Just wanted to share my dealings with Bear Straps. Having stumbled across their website i instantly fell for ALL of their custom made straps. Each one is built to order by the owner Rupert. I enquired about sizes etc and was told ''tell me what you want, ill make it and have it with you in a day''. I duly decided what style i wanted and sent my specs across. The same day he replied saying he'd get to work straight away and emailed me a paypal link to sort payement out on. He kept me informed throughout. A day later it arrived by recorded delivery and WOW. Its a strap for life! Quality leather (smells amazing) and so much attention to detail, a real craftmans piece for very little money. To say im impressed is an understatement. The comfort, looks and quality really are top class. It looks absolutely amazing on my Bison and has made me fall in love with the bass all over again. Im in no way associated or anything with Ruper or Bear Straps I just like to recomend and compliment when i recieve great service and quality goods. If i'd paid twice as much for the strap id still be as happy. Will post pics soon
  19. That looks amazin Burrito, just the amount of wear on it that i would love to re-create on my p-bass
  20. My Burns Bison. Had a gas attack the other week and nearly binned it off for a Squier Tele bass but came to my senses! [IMG]http://img17.imageshack.us/img17/8923/cimg2800p.jpg[/IMG]
