Rob bought some pickups from me. No issues, good deal, I'd be pleased to deal with him again.

I sold Dunc some strings. He's been a gentleman throughout and I'd be pleased to deal with him again.

I'd buy a green Talman tomorrow if I thought the spare maple fingerboard Squire neck I have lying around would go on it. [/quote] Indeed. Could we persuade the OP to do some measuring, please?

[quote name='rjs1909' timestamp='1441980381' post='2863509'] They had two big hits in Australia, this one and Hungry Town. Both great songs, even if they were quite similar to each other. [media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eOQfmSIEs5k[/media] [/quote] I bought the album.

[quote name='Annoying Twit' timestamp='1441914130' post='2862976'] £720 for a Westone Rail?

I love Rails, but really...

Bohemian Rhapsody.

[quote name='chris_b' timestamp='1441895634' post='2862751'] Nellie The Elephant by that band, whose name I've forgotten. [/quote] Toy Dolls. Their reading of Blue Suede Shoes is a minor epic, and its timing is glorious

IIUC Harley Benton is the Thomann house brand.

It seems to be a P-bass with a custom body and headstock. Somebody's career ended, probably a while ago.

[quote name='tauzero' timestamp='1441612972' post='2860140'] [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/gds/How-When-Why-To-Retract-a-Bid-Dont-Ask-the-Seller-/10000000001673381/g.html"]http://www.ebay.co.u...01673381/g.html[/url] I think it used to be simpler but it looks as if it's now been tightened up sufficiently to mean it would make it more difficult to do this - at least more than once with the same user ID. [/quote] Thank you. I learn a new thing every day (I am interested partly because I'm sure I got shilled once - maybe twice )

[quote name='geoffbyrne' timestamp='1441569830' post='2859956'] Peavey Cirrus BXP. G. [/quote] Yes. Also, Hohner B Bass Pro 5, which I got from Geoff and will probably be up for sale soon.

[quote name='tauzero' timestamp='1441362144' post='2858233'] Yes, agreed. Especially as the really unscrupulous seller could shill up an early bid to find out where it maxes out, and then retract the bid which takes it over the bidder's maximum. [/quote] I didn't think a bid could be retracted?

[quote name='Annoying Twit' timestamp='1441540896' post='2859620'] A long time ago someone on here bought one, intending to use the tuners, electronics, and other bits for a project they were working on. If I remember correctly (ha!) they paid about £34 for it or something. Unfortunately I never noticed what happened with that project, I must have missed that thread. [/quote] If the buyer is anything like me, the bits may still be sitting there waiting for things to happen

[quote name='alyctes' timestamp='1431882333' post='2775869'] I have a Cimar P-bass, which I have specifically because it looks trad as a trad thing - currently awaiting a neck replacement, because the trussrod is stuck. [/quote] It's now wearing a Collins J-width neck, got from Germany via eBay. I like it; it plays nicely, sounds good, and I don't have to look at it when I'm playing

[quote name='Grangur' timestamp='1441527333' post='2859429'] You're not alone. John's knowledge is invaluable and much respected. Thank you John. [/quote] Absolutely.

That's a sad loss
