  2. I also bought an MM-type pup. Quick, well packaged, decent communications. A nice transaction - I wouldn't hesitate to buy from Dave again.

  4. I wish I could justify spending the money, this looks like a sweet machine. Anyhow, you might want to edit the thread title for the new price?

  6. Thank you very much! It hadn't occurred to me to try Peavey themselves.
  7. Hi folks Can anyone point me to a wiring diagram for a Cirrus BXP, please? Mine is eating batteries, and I've heard interesting stories about some of them coming from the factory miswired, so I'm reluctant to just accept that it's correct as it is. Thanks! (No, I don't know why I posted this in the Wanted section either. Senior moment, I guess.)

  9. I bought his singlecut rework of a trashed Hofner. Good communications, lots of photos, good explanation of issues. Superb packing for transit. A nice guy and I would be very happy to deal with him again. Thanks Keith!
  10. if I was in reach, I'd take it. But... bump anyway

  12. Thank you both, much appreciated. I can't move one of them at all, but the other definitely opens. I think I'd better glue it. It has other issues - missing nut holding the three-way switch, woodscrews and washers holding the strap (!!) (those went ASAP, but I will probably have to plug and drill the body to put sensible strap pins on), a nasty crackle on two of the switch settings, the switch endcap is missing, and quite a few dents bumps and bangs. So I may well wind up stripping it for parts.
  13. I've just acquired a Yamaha BB450, 4-string, bolt-on neck held by four screws. There are cracks in the wood of the body from both the screws at the neck (open) end of the pocket. I've removed the neck to have a look, and it's definitely cracks in the wood, not just the lacquer. The bloke I got it from bought it sight unseen from eBay a few years back - my guess is that it was dropped or stressed badly in transit, since I can't see any obvious sign of a harsh blow to the headstock. How serious an issue is this? It's not something I've seen before. Any comments welcome.

  15. A sensible bloke - he lost a (smallish) sale by pointing out to me, very politely, that I was being stupid.
  16. Bought a Warwick Rockstand from Lozz. Carefully packaged, and evident care taken with nuts bolts washers and screws. Plus, both the Allen key and the spanner (no idea if they're "original", I'm just impressed he knew where they were and sent them Good deal, would definitely deal with again. Cheers!
  17. My second purchase from Cieran (I bought some more strings, one of these days I'll get round to playing them ). All as before; nice guy, good comms and quick shipment. A pleasure to deal with, and would definitely do so again. Cheers!
  18. What an interesting beast. Shame it's been chopped about, but it looks to have a charm of its own. Could it be bowed, or is it pizz only? Where are you situated?

  21. I bought some ex-Ibanez pickups from Nick. Clean, quick transaction. I misread his original advert; he could have taken advantage of that, and did not. An honourable man, and easy to deal with. Thank you.
  22. [quote name='yorks5stringer' post='1183716' date='Mar 31 2011, 07:10 PM']A couple of years ago I bought a trashed Hohner B2, glued it back together, gave it the Red Bull treatment (Wings) and here it is! [attachment=76352:S5000495.JPG] <snip/>[/quote] that is seriously hot
