Top Man! - Serial No is E91XXXX Which is a '84 Precision - Thanks

[quote name='thedontcarebear' post='38071' date='Jul 28 2007, 10:27 AM']Is there any way to clean pitting on hardware?[/quote]


Dont Clean!!!!! - All part of the ageing process - some folk pay good money for things like that.

[quote name='thedontcarebear' post='38850' date='Jul 30 2007, 11:20 AM']How can you have a 1981 Japanese Fender? I thought they only started Fender in Japan in March 1982, with production beginning in April 1982?![/quote]

Serial Number check = 1981 (BASSBOOK) - Thanks for your interest anyway - 1981 isnt exactly vintage! I would have preferred a Sunburst '67 I could have had in 1982 for £350 from A1 in Manchester Oxford Road....

Took delivery of a Far East Hybrid BA115T Courtesy of Dolphin Music.Well double packed in Ampeg branded box.So far so good.Looked for the kettle lead.....missing!!!!!..... so I had to go without a few brews whilst trying it out.Shaped my sound Gain 10 Master 2 (in house) Treb 7.5 Mid 8 Bass 9 Style switch 2 gave a nice growly tone with my restrung Precision with plenty of G top end with pulloffs.Dont bother with the style switch much setting 2 is well bassy whilst setting 3 is totally flat to shape your own sound.Has a CD input for playalong untried as yet.All in all well happy with it and it is seriously LOUD...

Cheers Hamster - I will suss out - We go to the Bankes also the Scott Arms at Kingston always heaving with us tourists though...!

Mornin! - Sorry - no pics - bought it for £280 in 1984 flogged it to a mate 1 year later (after I packed in) to buy a car Tried to buy back off mate 6 months later but he had PX'd for a Status in a shop in Liverpool.It was a Burgundy Pro One single pickup with a battery recess on the scratchplate.It played like a dream........Any idea how much Pro Ones are today?

Preston branch could not price match an Ampeg BA115 with Thomann - They are really feeling the pinch - Bought online through Dolphin Music - no problems at all with next day delivery etc.Gadge I know used to be the manager but has recently jumped ship.....!!!???
