CamdenRob Posted January 25, 2016 Posted January 25, 2016 (edited) I would love an old P bass... Can't really justify the cost at the moment, but some day maybe Edited January 25, 2016 by CamdenRob Quote

I have Pm'd the buyer of my lost Jap P bass on the off chance he still has it and might consider selling it back to me long shot but I thought I might as well ask.... Quote
Huge Hands Posted January 25, 2016 Posted January 25, 2016 Weird, I have met Mr Baxter through a mutual friend of ours - he depped on a gig for me about 5 years ago, although I didn't meet him then. I was later introduced to him at a christening and he seemed like a nice chap. I was told he bought and sold a few basses, but I didn't realise he was into it this much! I might have to wiggle my eyelids at him to see if he will let a pauper and timewaster into his hallowed den, even if just to stand in the corner and breathe in the air..... Quote

[/quote] That's a great idea, but at the rate we all swap basses there's gonna be some arguments That said, I'll have back the Ltd Ed CS 55 P Bass i sold you, loved that one Edited January 25, 2016 by Chiliwailer Quote
gjones Posted January 25, 2016 Posted January 25, 2016 I'll be in London next week for a gig. My hotel is not far from this shop. I dare not go in. Quote
