  1. Is the problem not that t'interweb has become the place vent one's spleen on any minor grievance from the safety of your terminal without all that troublesome problem of saying something less complimentary to somebody's face? We've all become closet Victor Meldrews. Anybody on here tried chatting to people on public transport?
  2. I used to own one of the older SR1500 with the slightly left-field EQ. Great bass for very little money, on my short(ish) list of "why on earth did I sell that" basses. Just saw the very same instrument up for sale again on evilbay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ibanez-SR1500-Bass-Guitar-/322612418641?hash=item4b1d32d851:g:lxcAAOSwMvtZRM5Q
  3. There was one on Evilbay from the US that was on auction with a start of c.£885 and a BIN of around £1,150 iirc. Any idea why Fender never put lollipop tuners on this model?
  4. I really don't think oxidation of the electronics over 7 years is a major concern unless it has been kept in a fish tank (with fish). You'll see immediately form the hardware if that has been the case). My 51 year old P bass works just fine. I have bought basses unseen and so far so good if you take some precautions as the boys and girls have been saying above.
  5. I owned a Fenix P/J for a while. Nothing wromng with it at all, perfectly nice bass.
  6. Good knowledge, thanks for that.
  7. Hi all For sale is this virtually new set of Sandberg standard fit s/steel roundwounds. The came on a new bass but as I prefer nickles I took them straight off without playing a note. The strings are cut for a 34"scale 4 in-line bass but had quite a few turns around the machines. Anyway, unused (but without original packaging) - at a very reasonable £12 posted UK mainland.
  8. I think, for me at any rate, part of the fun is wondering who owned the bass before me and what was it used for. There are certain tunes, maybe some old blues standards, that I just get the feeling the bass knows this song. Over-sentimentalising of course
  9. I'm fairly sure I made bad taste fashinable before then having given advice to Michael Foot on dress sense
  10. Does anybody know what year Fender introduced white perloid pickguards for basses? Can't find anything on t'interweb. Thanks in advance.
  11. The VM4 is the most recent addition, a bit of an impulse buy when I saw it with the non-reversed split coil pickup. Quite hard to chose between that one and the TT (passive). The VS isn't getting much of a look in at the moment though as the P pickup on the VM has it all covered. Sometimes, however, only a P bass will do
  12. Quick pic I've been meaning to do for a while of my mini flock of three Cali II basses. [attachment=251329:Sandberg family 01.JPG]
  13. It's going to be a '63J black over white with matching headstock. The wear and tear to be modeled on a vintage jazz bass.
  14. Fair dinkum, as they say in Bradford. Thanks Karl, hope you're keeping well young man.
