Actually, I can see that working well One thing I thought of, and im just thinking out loud so apologies, but did I see you mentioned you havent tried a Stingray before? I think you should definitely have a tinker with one...to me they just fit with the classic Leo trio. I went t see 3 great bands last night, one with a Precision and one with a Stingray. It was apparent that the Precision filled the low end amazingly well and just worked. The Stingray just cut through like crazy almost sounding like the bass was a lead instrument but when he hit the lower notes it filled the room like a bass should. Good luck with the sale dude [/quote] Thanks Gareth, I had one interested BC'er but he had a problem with funds. No other bites at all. Looks like its eBay for this one :-( Re: Stingray, I don't know what it is but they have never quite 'done it' for me in the looks department - just personal aesthetics I think Also, just to be clear, I really would rather a sale than a trade/PX, was just throwing some ideas around to see if it prompted interest Edited March 29, 2010 by Clarky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarky Posted April 5, 2010 Author Share Posted April 5, 2010 (edited) Didn't sell on evilBay. Being honest and mentioning the crackle on the bridge pickup (http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=83062) probably didn't help, even though its likely a simple shielding fix. New price: £2,000, plus delivery (I hope you agree a £225 price cut more than compensates for a quick trip to the luthier!) I deleted photos inthis thread but they are still visible in eBay listing plus I can send them to you if needed [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=130378756949&ssPageName=STRK:MEUSX:IT"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...e=STRK:MEUSX:IT[/url] Edited April 5, 2010 by Clarky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarky Posted April 5, 2010 Author Share Posted April 5, 2010 (edited) Some photos as a reminder, second showing the neat soldering (which makes me think the slight crackle from the bridge pick-up is simply a shielding issue): [attachment=46527:Clarky_J...bass_001.JPG][attachment=46529:Clarky_J...bass_008.JPG][attachment=4653 0:clarky_basses_037.JPG] As well as a straight sale, I would also consider a trade against a vintage (up to 1974) Precision in Olympic White, with cash adjustment if necessary from me if very old (one day I hope to get a birth-year, 1963, P-bass but I doubt one of these is kicking around!)

Clarky Posted April 7, 2010 Author Share Posted April 7, 2010 (edited) Bump. £2000 + delivery + I will ensure the Bass Gallery fix the crackling bridge pickup (ie, I guarantee the bass will be issue-free; hopefully my feedback shows I am a trustworthy person!)

Clarky Posted April 8, 2010 Author Share Posted April 8, 2010 (edited) Subject to agreeing some details on delivery overseas (and to the pickup crackle being fixed), this bass is looking provisionally sold. Edited April 8, 2010 by Clarky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
