Is he advertising watches?

I know what you mean but I'm quite chilled about basses that have been played a lot as it possibly/probably means they are decent examples of the breed.

This is the kind of in depth analysis I like It's kind of tempting to put the Lakland neck on the Fender body which would look devastatingly cool.

The Fender is definitely a PJ455 btw. I took the neck off and both neck and body confirm this.

What, with playing and everything?

Until these last few months I had a long-standing mission to go to see 3 bands I've never hear of every year. That, and the 'what are you listening to now' section on here have provided some really interesting music. I stopped reading album reviews in my early twenties as very few seemed interested in the music I liked. I'm 59 now

Spector knobs, but not sure which category they belong in

Since moving my rather weighty BBP34 some months back I've been on the look out for a light passive PJ bass that could take it's place as a gigging bass for the covers band I play in (and hopefully will again soon). I'd had a go on a Lakland Skyline fairly recently but the weight of these seems to vary a fair bit and I was on the look out for one appearing in the FS section. Nothing was grabbing my attention until what might, or muight not have been, a Fender PJ455 appeared on ebay. I took a punt on it as is was an E series so like to be OK even if not one of the top fligh models. Wouldn't you know it, a 44-64 Custom PJ turns up on our FS section as the Fender was in transit. As the owner was happy to do a part trade I bought that one thinking I'd just flip the Fender. Long story short, they are both really nice basses and both c.8.5lbs. The Lakland has the J pickup in the 60s position and is pristine; the Fender has it in the 70s position and is roadworn. I've but a nice Gotoh bridge on the Fender as some groovier Spector knobs. The previous owner had already put some nicer knobs on the Lakland. Both sound really punchy but one needs to go so a real dilemma here. Any thoughts learned BCers? Mandatory pics to prove it happened:

Just picked up some J bass bits from Dean. Totally effortless transaction, thanks very much.

Midnight Wine I think, lovely colour.

Different bass, different place, but I have this one...got a few spare if you want one for nowt.

Just completed a trade with John. What a nice bloke and he went well out of his way to meet up to effect the transaction. John is what makes this place work. Veritably a top banana.

Check Companies House for name and home addresses of all the directors. I wrote to the whole BT board when I was particularly grumpy, it had the desired effect

Well your breeder Sandra has most of the right letters in the right order so I feel this is permissable Plus who doesn't love a great dog story.

Just bought some straplocks from @Basinski. Excellent cooms, fast despatch and items exactly as described. Thanks for a great transaction.

Our own Alfie Noakes book is a good read.

Totally incorrect there @Reggaebass it can only be tort

The E series basses have a great rep. The two I have owned were both lovely basses.

Paddy has just acquired a pedal from me. Instant payment, great comms, in fact the Mary Poppins of transactions. Thanks very much.

I've asked for a few bits too. Nothing yet, but I'd like to know what has been going on!
