    Tbf, this is in perfect condition (all bar a few blemishes) and he lost the pick guard..... This surely has to be worth £500<?!
  2. bigsmokebass
    Well that's a relief, I did panic as I've not touched a Pbass in a while but I'm so tempted to give him an offer for one pickup, see how it arrives

    Google translator win?

    I thought these pickups come together, wired, or is that me being stupid? 0_o

    Let me count my pennies up and see what's left by the end of this month.... No promising but we shall see
  6. bigsmokebass
    Probably not, almost a year on.....

    It's 10 minutes of fun and not a lot of freedom if you'd like to custom an instrument. I got my hopes up on a Lotto bass for £1200 as they don't use the wide range pups

    [quote name='Jebo1' timestamp='1397313164' post='2422729'] I once bought a Musicman Stingray for £500. [/quote] What the f***? Lol

    Not a bad little bass for the cash. For me, this would make a brilliant bass and true to it's original form with a string through bridge, a belter for sub £100 '51 copy
  11. bigsmokebass
    They're ok I guess for £120 but not something I'll be looking to pick up any time soon Didn't J&D make ibanez SR looking basses?
  12. bigsmokebass
    Hahaha I bet this is the same bass me and Gust0o have owned, the little things getting around

    [quote name='Woodinblack' timestamp='1397681878' post='2426529'] I thought i would give it a spin on rocksmith to see how my playing compared on the same tracks I normally play and it seemed I was struggling more than on the ibanez, but I scored higher on almost all of them so I guess there is something there. [/quote] The Gods of Gaming and Low End Rumble have been united in Dingwall glory Hahaha that's awesome though, I expect the 5/B string is the cleanest you've played yet? Should be with all that tension!

    These tend to sell like hot cakes on THeBay, must be something good about them

    Just traded my Fender Jaguar bass with Steve today for his Gibson SG Bass: everything as described. Communications were friendly and straight toward. he's a down to earth guy and I'd really like to deal with him again, if and when possible. Met up at a service station in between our homes, I really appreciate him coming all the way out and straight from work, I cannot praise this guy enough. Thank you again Steve! Stay in touch.

    [quote name='jimcroisdale' timestamp='1396355191' post='2412578'] Hey all, I'm on the lookout for a new 5 string. I like my guitars to be super simple - I'm happy to sacrifice flexibility for this, no probs. Gimme one pickup and a volume knob and I'm happy, but they just don't seem to make quality basses this way. I like 17mm string spacing, but apart from that I'm open to suggestions. I like Stingrays. I like Warwicks Not a Fender fan. Any ideas? :-) Jim [/quote] Now I normally speak against ibanez but in hindsight, they had some of the best 5 string basses I've played on a budget. It was only until I wanted a passive 5 string, they lacked in tone and necks were more like baseball bats to the usual flat necks Now, I'm tempted to go back and try them again

    [quote name='Meddle' timestamp='1397163455' post='2421459'] Hard to put a price on that. Yes, it is 'old Gibson', but it is also a budgety and unloved model with no famous users. [/quote] They're classic basses but as much as I love Gibsons, they're a little over priced from my POV. The thunderbird I paid little over £900 in '09 and does feel like a decent £700-£800 tops, the new 2014 for £1400!? No way :-/ The SG basses are good value for American made instruments and if they come with the hard cases, £900 for the standard, depends how much money you have to throw at a finished £500/600 bass The old basses still in cycle are good money when priced right, a little TLC and away you go I'm currently soothing my SG itch tomorrow night, going to feel goooood

    [quote name='skej21' timestamp='1397584318' post='2425427'] I've still got mine and I know Andy Travis has his. I don't know which shifty shops you go into!! Great bass though and yours is in much better condition than mine. I've played it so much that it's wearing already... Also, a really great price! [/quote] I believe there are topics on this bass and included on it are stories of lost neck plates and the stores of which they were purchased from. Feel free to search but it is out there I don't blame them if I was "shifty" as them and Foo's fan too, it's just unfair for those spending £700 on an instrument when a collectible part is not included. Ideally these plates should be numbered and come with a certificate to confirm it. I'm just glad to see one for sale, good price (£500?!?!), neck plate & gig bag included and a great seller to deal with BSB out

    Looks a good amp and who wouldn't say no to a 4x12? If it's here when I have the funds, well sort something out as I'm on the Wirral. All the best in the meantime. BSB

    I must actually congratulate you on being the only owner of this model with the foo fighter neck plate, I don't think anyone else has had one after guitar shops and suppliers stealing them! BSB

    Cheers for the offer Buff, got a Marshall amp I love to pieces and a good back up but the SVT should be snapped up in no time. All the best Tazza & Karl, thanks guys

    Location?
  24. bigsmokebass
    Trade wise: A decent Squier bass or guitar. Anything Epiphone Anything Gibson Fender Pbass, preferably nothing MIM standard unless modded? Anything else, tempt me?

    He's from New Brighton, where the "mermaids" wash up in black big bags along the coast Or was it when Morrisons car park flooded?
