What are you listening to right now?
Who's Who replied to Sarah5string's topic in General Discussion
Decided to take the long route home cycling back from work today so I wanted a quality album from start to finish. Someone had mentioned 'The Jam' earlier today at work, so it was a toss up between 'All Mod Cons' and 'Sound Affects'. I went with 'Sound Affects' in the end, and f**k me am I glad I did. What an album that is, absolutely brilliant at every point. And I couldn't help but sing out loud 'WAN'T TO GET AWA-HA-HEY-HA-HEY' during 'Music For The Last Couple'. What a ride home that was! -

Im awaiting delivery of a bass from America and my tracking number on the usps site states it's awaiting customs clearance over here. Any way I can find the depot the bass is at early so I can go collect it?

[quote name='mckendrick' timestamp='1343263234' post='1748116'] Were it not for already having (one of?) the first in the country. Indeed, the very one that was used for - and photographed in - the Guitar Magazine review. Unmodded. Cowboy. And it's fabulous. Bridge, pickup, everything. And what a neck! What I prefer about yours tho', is that gorgeous 2-tone finish... and a nice grain. Beautiful. If only I could afford another! Good luck with the sale. . [/quote] Cheers for that mate. She is one gorgeous "slab" of wood

[quote name='cloudburst' timestamp='1343247233' post='1747813'] Good luck with the sale mate. Just last weekend I sold by 51-RI to a fellow BC'er who appreciated the SCPB-3 pickup and Deluxe 4 saddle bridge as upgrades (and the originals were also included). He wanted the traditional P-bass sound, but on playing mine, immediately said "that's a really beefy tone; I'm sold". Tip to anyone thinking of interfering in a sale by injecting their own subjective opinion...if you've nothing good to say, say nothing. CB [/quote] Cheers CB, my thoughts exactly. But back to the organ grinder (trying to flog this bad boy) For the purists among us [u][b]£450[/b][/u] with the original bridge and pickup fitted. Or [u][b]£500[/b][/u] with the Bare Knuckle pickup and HMV bridge fitted, and the originals thrown in. Either way it's a beauty

[quote name='mckendrick' timestamp='1343226790' post='1747363'] Well.... without trying to hijack the thread.... If I wanted a bass that didn't sound like a thin 'ol '50's P Bass.... I wouldn't buy a thin sounding '50's P Bass in the first place. Conversely, if I wanted a bass that sounded like a 50's P Bass, I'd wouln't buy one that'd been modded not to sound like one. These aren't upgrades, they're modifications. Carry on. [/quote] Whoa there cowboy! I take it you don't wanna buy it then I'm not too sure where this thin rep has sprung from either, I certainly never mentioned it. I just found the original pickup a little too 'middy' if that makes sense, so I tried a new pickup, and would you believe it, I quite liked it. And with regards to the bridge, who wouldn't want more adjustability and sustain? And what can I say, I've always been a sucker for ashtray covers And just to be clear, for a mere £500 you'll also get the original Fender two saddle bridge and pickup too. Happy Days

For sale is my stunning Fender 51 Reissue Precision Bass in gorgeous 2-tone sunburst finish (Crafted in Japan) The bass is immaculate in A1, perfect condition and I cannot find a mark on her. It's a really cool looking retro bass and has tons of vibe with it's slab body, single coil pickup and Tele style headstock. I picked her up earlier in the year in a trade from a fellow Baschatter, and made several improvements once I got her. I replaced the pickup with a Bare Knuckle 52 Stagger P as I found the original a little too 'Honky'. I also replaced the bridge with a new Fender High Mass Vintage bridge, like the ones found on the new American Standard series. These bridges are a drop in 3-bolt replacement and allow you to either string through-body or top load through the bridge. They also improve the sustain and allow greater adjustments. I also added the Fender pickup and bridge chrome covers and a single hole thumbrest to complete the look. All the work was carried out by Martin Clarke's guitars, along with a full set-up, fret dress and new set of D'Adarrio round wound strings, so she plays as good as she looks. I do still have both the original pickup and bridge which will be included in the sale, and the bass will come supplied in a quality padded gig bag (Warwick Rock Bag). According to the Fender site this bass was manufactured in 2007-2008 (Crafted in Japan S + 6 digit serial number). I'm after [u][b]£500[/b][/u] for the bass collected from North London, which I think is a fair price considering the guitar's condition and the extra parts I've added. I'm also happy to post the guitar via courier at the buyers expense.
