[quote name='basshead56' post='707072' date='Jan 9 2010, 08:54 PM']Would it be possible to get this to Ireland via courier? If so I'd be very interested indeed...[/quote] Blimey! I bet that would cost some. I'll get a quote and PM you.

Bass now sold. Thank you for all the interest and the very generious trade offers made. -

[quote name='mistahbenn' post='704709' date='Jan 7 2010, 08:22 PM']good price my friend,[/quote] Cheers! I think its a reasonable price as its not in 'collectors' condition and a sunburst which IMO are more desirable.

Due to a rather hefty dental bill looming, and other stuff I need to raise some much needed funds so its time to say goodbye to my lovely old Fender. Apart from a replaced pot its all original and very light weight. I don't have the means to accurately weigh it but believe me its by far the lightest fender I've ever played. There is the obvious 'mojo' i.e scratches, chips and worn away paint! The bridge cover still has the remains of the mute inside and the thumb rest is the original one. Its currently strung with flats and its just sounds amazing!. I wont drone on about it, its an old Pbass that I loved to take out and gig and I'll definitely miss her. Here's some pics I'm looking for £1300 + shipping. I would rather not post due to the value TBH and I would much rather meet up within reasonable distance from Telford. The bass dose come with a very good Hiscox hard case (not the one in the photo). I am open to trades on a modern(ish) US Precision or a Stingray. So if you're interested please drop me a PM for further details/pics etc. Cheers, Paul

[quote name='gilmour' post='698600' date='Jan 2 2010, 11:05 AM']Wow, that's a bargain, mine cost me more than that in parts alone ! and Dave Perry's building work is fantastic. For those who haven't heard these the sound is fantastic, IMO the best one box solution for bass. Would two be to many?[/quote] Was that the cab you had down in Reading Rob? It was damn incredible!

[quote name='Randy_Marsh' post='695394' date='Dec 29 2009, 09:38 AM']I was thinking the exact same, only problem is its a bit of a distance. Do you know if i could just post them my bass and then have it posted back when the works complete?[/quote] Hiya, still got the Corvette! Good stuff. I've posted basses to the Gallery with no problems at all. Good move getting it upgraded, its what I would have done.

Increadible! My 59P found on a Bass Book!
bigthumb replied to sixshooter's topic in General Discussion
Stunning bass that. I must get myself a copy of the book as I've had a play on one of the '66 slab body Precisions and I wouldn't mind finding out a bit more of the history of them. -
Finnbass? Anyhow, Toasted (Joe) is a nice guy. There may have been posts he's made that I haven't agreed with or just haven't got but so what. And yep its a speaker in a box and anybody who has used/heard one has the right to make a comment on it's performance.

78 P bass. This can't be kosher can it?
bigthumb replied to Marky L's topic in eBay - Weird and Wonderful
I might be a bit reluctant to auction a bass with no reserve this close to Christmas especially considering the potential value of the instrument. -
Finbass, dear oh dear. What do they know. At the Moffat bass bash I was the bassist asked to stand on the 'stage' and demo the gear (including a BF Compact). I used a Precision belonging to Peter (GreenKing) and mainly my Euphonic Audio iAmp800 head. The audience didn't comprise of all the 'usual suspects' wanting to slate BF cabs and make digs at Basschat but some pretty competent, knowledgeable and experienced bass players. I dont want to make any comments about the cab as I feel that the chaps in the audience would have had a better appreciation of tonal quality than me being too close to it. Anyhow I dont hold any axe to grind at Alex, I've had a short correspondence with him and he seems a nice guy plus I would still like to try a BF 'Big One' at some point. Please dont tar all Finnbassers with the same brush.

I have a BSE 410HLF which has a blown fuse for the HF horn. Dose anybody know where I can get one from? Incidentally I use the cab with an old Trace Elliot series 6 AH200 head and the sound is lovely, even with no tweeter!

New website looks good, just having a browse now.

[quote name='bh2' post='680436' date='Dec 10 2009, 05:27 PM']Looks nice Si... Silver series?[/quote] Looks like an SQ series, if not then an 'A'. Lovely bass all the same.

There stunners! I could be persuaded to go 'Jazz' with Jazz like that!
-
Good God that Precision is stunning! Any chance of some more pictures?

[quote name='phsycoandy' post='674780' date='Dec 5 2009, 10:17 AM']I think its cause its gone a nice darkish Honey colour [/quote] Its blooming lovely, one of the nicest naturals I've seen!

[quote name='peteb' post='672659' date='Dec 2 2009, 11:25 PM']and not to mention those ridiculous ash tray things that get in the way of your right hand and make changing a string a major chore! For some strange reason there are still some people who insist on keeping these – why??[/quote] Because their shiny!
-
[quote name='OutToPlayJazz' post='673594' date='Dec 3 2009, 08:25 PM']No problem - If you buy one, I'll happily kick it around a gravel carpark for you! [/quote] You sir are a gentleman!
-
Lovely! But could do with some relic'in!!
-
Even I liked this! Its one hell of a bass, believe me!

I had my first Precision when I was 16. It was a '75 and I traded it for a Stingray in 1994. I used Stingrays as a main bass for about 10 years, then moved on to a Warwick Thumb and Streamer and then one day I saw a 1978 sunburst in a music shop, tried it and was completely hooked again. I've owned loads of different makes of basses, too many to remember but the Precision just 'dose it' with no fuss or mess. It cuts through perfectly, I hear every note and so dose everybody else. I still love fancy modern basses with exotic woods and electronics and I hope to own many of them but there will always be an ol plank nearby. My '73 now strung with TI flats.... perfect!
