Thanks! As I said, happy to take offers over the asking if anyone's uncomfortable about getting too good a bargain. -
It's high time I had a clear out and so first up is my old Hartke HA7000, which I've had for probably about 25 years. Basically it's two HA3500s in one (checks maths and nods) with a crossover. It works really nicely bi-amped with my rig comprising a 2 x10" and 1 x 15" cab and equally happy with just the 2x10" for smaller gigs. Everything works on it, it's in a rackmount case (which is knackered to be fair) but I've still got all the edges, corners and feet should you want to take it out of the rack. Comes with the instructions as well! I've had a quick look and can't find any others for sale so it's hard to put a price on it. I'd say it's a lot of amp for the money and it's in great shape so I think £150 is fair but I'm open to offers and would definitely consider accepting more if pushed. Happy to discuss shipping options if required but collection preferred. I also have a couple of old cabs which I'll be putting up for sale too at some point, a Peavey 210TX and a Peavey 115 so keep an eye out if you want a cheap loud rig!

There was a ‘78 Antigua Jazz on there recently for £3k, apparently it had been in its case for 35 years and looked pretty unmarked. I didn’t even realise I absolutely had to have it until it was too late.
-
Sooo, definitely not a bargain but, perhaps not a terrible price for a decent ‘71P?
-
Absolutely. It's high time we got Vol.2, 1972 onwards!

I bought Geddy's book. Ended up costing me thousands.

I saw this today and it warranted a second look: https://reverb.com/uk/item/67439380-fender-jazzbass-1972-sunburst Only because the neck is clearly dated '72, but as far as I'm aware they didn't start using pearl blocks with maple necks until mid 1973. This neck must have been hanging around a for a while. Well I thought it was quite interesting anyway.

Fender (or any manufacturer) alternative model naming

How about targeting the folks who buy them just to hang on the wall: Fender Dentist Fender Accountant Fender Lawyer Fender Marketing Analyst For Big Digital Startup Nobody's Ever Heard Of (potential neck dive problem with this one) Etc. -

Yes please. -
Not sure why you'd want to touch this for £10k when for only £1,200 more you could buy that refin that Mr Dream On picked up for £3800 at auction a week prior. https://reverb.com/uk/item/66798899-fender-precision-bass-with-rosewood-fretboard-1966-sunburst-made-in-usa-ser-no-1xxxx6-includes-hard-case I noticed he'd also bought a couple of Gibson Les Pauls in the same auction and was trying the same trick with them.
-
Wow. I think the seller should change their name to The Dream On Vault.
-
I was watching them too. The white 62P was about £5500 including fees, someone got a good deal there if it's as described.
-
Love it, but it's just crying out for a pointy headstock!
-
I thought for a moment there that someone had nicked your instrument listing tool.
-
If this was a fretless I’d be all over it. Oh, and a different colour. 5 string. -
I expect they're all busy putting the finishing touches to the new website.

I bought my friend an elephant for his room.
He said “thanks”
I said “don’t mention it” -
I've got an early '80s SVT head and 8 x 10 cab. It is, as Walshy says, absolute heaven (to listen to). I generally get the same feeling using it, that I get when I come inside after a walk in the cold, and can warm up by standing with my back to a really nice fire. Toasty.
-
You're right, I hadn't spotted the "original case" bit in the description and it definitely looks like a refin. I think on balance I'd prefer to pay extra and buy from a reputable dealer, just to have a little more peace of mind in the provenance. Not that I'm looking!
-
Just seen this on Reverb: https://reverb.com/uk/item/65208217-fender-precision-base-1964-fiesta-red Seems pretty cheap if it is as described.

Last month was a bit strange for me, after an admirably long time spent GAS-free I found myself really wanting to buy something again but didn't know what. All the basses on my hitlist are £3k upwards and very definitely out of the question, so I ended up buying a black Epiphone Les Paul Custom for £350 and learning Darkness guitar riffs. Sorry to offend the purists, it took me by surprise as much as anyone but GAS has been well and truly abated for a fraction of the cost of a desirable (to me) bass and it's been a blast.
-
Ok, I'll play: Hohner (Jack headless). Sold to mate. A mate, that is, not... I could have phrased that better. Westone (Thunder III fretless). No idea what happened to this bass. MusicMan (SR5 fretless) Warwick (thumb 5) Sold to pay for crashing mum's car. MusicMan (SR5) Fender (P) Fender (P) Fender (J) G&L (L2500 Tribute) Unknown (horrible fretless P copy) Fender (J) Sold Fender (J) Epiphone (Jack Casady) Squier (Mike Dirnt P) Rickenbacker (4003w) Fender (P)

Really sorry if this has already been covered somewhere in the previous 23 pages, but how do I go about entering the sweepstake for when the new BD website will go live? I've got November. 2024.

It wasn't my intention for this to be a Ric bashing thread, sorry if it's gone that way slightly! I was just making a lighthearted comparison as it seems to me that Ric owners will, like HD owners, willingly overlook flaws and build quality that perhaps they wouldn't accept in other makes (especially at similar prices) just because it's such an iconic product. Of course the big question is, do Harley owners leave the "Made in America" sticker on or not?

Ok, I’ve got an old SVT (this will be buried with me) and a new one of those mini stack things (for a practice amp). They both have loud fans. I’d love a B15 but can’t justify it (and that’s coming from a guy with 12 basses and no gigs…) My point was that all Ampegs are cool.
