    Vintage 'cack' by the look of it. Might clean up tho and be a bit of a project. New body, neck, tuners, pup's, bridge, nut, strings and it'll be as good as new! Had to be worth 20 quid surely? LC

    Came away from Bass Direct this afternoon with a nice Vigier and a Stage Clix wireless kit. Won't be gassing for the Lull's just yet....as I'm skint! LC

    Daion ? There's one on E bay and it's absolutely beautiful. LC

    I promised myself I wouldn't sell this, but having just crashed out the best part of two grand in Bass Direct I guess I really should try and recoup some of that. This a proper P bass, deep and punchy, built in the Sammick factory in 1996 and I regularly pick this up in favour of my US P bass, it's that good. The build quality is excellent and it's in fantastic condition with a nice low action. I took it to Simon at Cardiff Guitars for a service and he reckons it's a good 'un. This would make a brilliant first Bass or a reliable back-up.

Cheers, LC

    Nick is a good chap, has faaaaaaaaarrrr too many basses!
  8. LemonCello
    Yep, Can't go wrong with this. The more recent Am Std's are very good indeed. Good price too. Good luck, LC

    There is an example of Neil's work in Cranes in Cardiff at the mo. Looks very nice indeed. He used to be a carpenter and spent a lot of time on building sites until he got fed up with it. I spoke to him today, very nice guy and helpful. Might just ask him to make me something. Just wondering if anyone knows his work? He's based in Glastonbury. LC

    I rate Bass Direct as Mark is very helpful, attentive etc and his place is choc full of basses, most of which are desirable and exotic. Not so many Amps but what he has got is quality gear. Bought a very nice 70's P from him a couple of months ago. LC

    I bought a '70's precision from Bass Direct a few weeks ago. For those of you that haven't met Mark the proprietor, he's got a real downer on Fenders and I can understand that as he has a shop full of exotica like Nordy's, Vigiers, and Dingwalls. He had just 1 precision in and I bought it which tells me a lot but you nothing at all. It's all a matter of personal taste and age may have something to do with it? If you caught OGWT 70's Gold edition on the TV the last weekend nearly every band on had a Fender bass in it, what you've been brought up with?? Having said all this, Bass Direct now have the new Ken Smith 'white tiger' in which I'm drooling over. This is probably a whole new thread but has anyone got a view on Ken Smith's work, especially the white tiger??? It's Fender's for me for now but who knows....... LC

    Just to say Pete that I'm looking forward to seeing you guys in the Globe in November! LC

    [quote name='Joebass' timestamp='1316440324' post='1378003'] Here's a transcription of that tune. Joe. [/quote] What a top bloke you are Sir! Thanks a bunch for this, just makes life so much easier! Gary

    Thanks. Yes, I'd originally gone there to try the '78 Jazz, but I felt that the bridge Pup was a bit lacking (low output), and it was a three bolter. So I tried the P and was amazed at it's condition which has to be 9/10. The body is beautifully figured and is all original. It has flats on it (not sure what make) but they play and sound great! All in all, a good purchase. Mark is very good at Bass Direct but he carn arf talk!!! LC

    I really enjoyed the act called Little Dragon. Did you notice the bass player stayed up the dusty end most of the time? He was also playing through an effect of some kind, made the bass sound very 'synthy'. Trouble with the Jools show is that it's all over in half an hour! LC
  17. LemonCello
    Would you consider a straight sale? I do have a mint 2008 US Standard Precision in Oly white and torte that I may consider swapping? LC
  18. LemonCello
    Nice, Bump

    If it is Jedward, can I request a slow lingering death?
  20. LemonCello
    Cheers Rick, Appreciate the sound advice. LC

    I've been liking the look of this for some days now hmmm. Apols for all the questions, but I have a few more for you if that's OK? Does it come with a case? Can you tell me the width at the nut please? How do you find the custom shop pups? Last question, is the body the same size as a Jazz as I don't get on with small bodied basses? You are tantalisingly close to me in Elgar country too! Cheers, LC
  22. LemonCello
    That's beaut! Wouldn't it be great if we knew the history of these old Fenders? Would make interesting reading huh? LC

    I guess there is also the consideration that Vintage does not necessarily mean 'good'. As we all know there are some shocking examples of '70's Fender basses but some pearls too. I've just aquired a late 70's Precision from Bass Direct which is definately a player. I knew this because I spent a good deal of time with Mark playing the thing and comparing it with others. This is a great forum and I'm really happy to be a member and grateful for all the help and knowledge sharing. The thought of parting with say £2,000 for an instrument without playing it first is a bridge too far for me. 'Vintage' - what's in a word? LC
  24. LemonCello
    A beautiful thing that is! How does it play? LC
  25. LemonCello
    I spent the entirety of the '90's playing 'cello in orchestra so quite a lot passed me by! Have just ordered 'Lean into It' from HMV and I've been getting to know them on You Tube. I've also spent the last two hours tabbing it out and I've got about half way thru! Would still be good to compare notes... Cheers, LC
