[quote name='Rayman' post='835634' date='May 12 2010, 08:14 PM'] 1992 Gretsch Tennessee Rose, Filtertrons, original case. Stunning guitar in very nice condition for it's age. A few light marks here and there and a couple of small dings but nothing major, and only light rash on the back. Proper F holes not the painted on ones the newer models have. Tone to [i]die[/i] for. The previous owner removed the Bigsby B6C and replaced it with a hard tail which I prefer. These go for well over a grand used, but I'd like £850, and I'll do my best to drive it to you within reason. Beautiful guitar, but I need some cash or another bass, so it has to go.[/quote] Hi Rayman I have passed a link to a freind and hopefully he will get in touch with you...I already have one,else would have been interested.. Cheers and good luck T

[quote name='flychris' post='857666' date='Jun 4 2010, 08:43 PM'] The defects are on the pictures, so I send to tino focus on them and it consider it is too much for a 95/100 grade. So it is his evaluation, and mine is given by two good shops in Paris ( "custom shop" & "vintage" that quoted this one at 95/100) I just want to be fair because I proposed to send to tino a lot of pictures in order tino knows exactly the condition of the guitar before he requested them and I'm surprised of the reaction. And to complete, I don't know what is a 95/100 grade (shop evaluation) but I consider 80/100 very less for this one.[/quote] I cannot see with this chipping and poor repair on the neck its graded as it is by your valuer,the other chips are acceptable as no one was silly enough to bodge a further unsigthly repair.. I have also never said it was not good and even asked you reconsider your estimate,it is probably ( not garunteed) a very nice instrument to play,but at the end of the day you or I could have a far superior players instrument hand built for less than £2000.And if we are being totally honest then we have to accept Fender CS staff in the main are assemblers of parts not trained Luthiers...I know that given decent quality parts and the facilities I am able to build to at least their standards...unfortunately we drive the market and we inflate the prices.. Ive uploaded the pics you sent to me as they show the most important issues also the others I received when enlarged show what appear to be further issues... T

[quote name='Hiperi0n' post='857760' date='Jun 4 2010, 10:23 PM']i sent u a pm..did u get it? and what is the asking price for the Gretsch?[/quote] Hi I thought I had replied to you,apologies if I had not....I have it up at £1200 but given the current climate I would accept £1000,this bass is in exceptional condition,has received very little play since purchase.would also exchange it for a MB walkabout scout Cheers T

[quote name='Beedster' post='857680' date='Jun 4 2010, 08:57 PM']I think that was Michael aka Water of Tyne. Can't believe he'd actually sell it, but he's just scored a TC head that he's very happy with, so you never know....[/quote] Thanks Fella Clarky was kind enough to PM me again and Ive sent him a message... There was one on Gumtree yesterday but the fella advertised as london but then said Portsmouth when contacted and he demands I go down and jam allnight with him...a stay over Blah Blah Blah....and he only wants £500.......giving away to good to be true etc etc I love a bargain but I would rather protect my modesty.. I'd rather pay more and not risk piles...lol

[quote name='Clarky' post='852917' date='May 31 2010, 08:25 PM']I hear you mate and appreciate the sentiments and efforts to dissuade me! In fact, given the distinct sound of tumbleweed since I put this up FS, I think I will put it away in a cupboard and treat it as an investment and - when I have more time - maybe take it up again. Mrs Clarky has similar sentiments and she's a wise owl (not that I married an owl, for the avoidance of doubt). OK, beat into submission by Beedster and Mrs Clarky - its withdrawn! I need to pay for my Nash though so the Thunderbird has to sell! PS, Chris, the Nash is a Jazz I guarantee you would actually like![/quote] Dont suppose a Rickys any use to you??? against the Fender ........I tried fretless once,I left the band the very same night!!!
