[quote name='Roland Rock' timestamp='1384336121' post='2275303'] Here are some example from BC sales. Of course it's possible that the asking prices were haggled down a bit: http://basschat.co.uk/topic/207600-1971-fender-precision-bass-sold/page__p__2077778__hl__71%20precision__fromsearch__1#entry2077778 http://basschat.co.uk/topic/191980-fsft-fender-197071-precision-bass-fretless-l2k/page__p__1898441__hl__71%20precision__fromsearch__1#entry1898441 http://basschat.co.uk/topic/220728-sold-1971-blond-fender-precision-owned-by-willie-weeks/page__hl__71+precision__fromsearch__1 [/quote] Thanks for taking the trouble to find those, a great help :-)

[quote name='Musky' timestamp='1384331347' post='2275236'] Check out Molan's sig! [/quote] Will do when I get home (can't see it on my mobile!)

Thanks guys, that was sort of the ball park figure I thought. [font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][color=#282828] [/color][/font] [quote name='molan'][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I've seen refinished early 70's drop to as little as £1,100 on EBay. In fact I think one went last week for about £950.[/quote][/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I'll look that up - it'll be good haggling ammo![/font][/color] [quote name='molan' timestamp='1384305395' post='2275148'] You really need to get it checked out properly to be sure it's what it purports to be. I'm not saying the seller isn't trustworthy but you never know what may have been done by a previous owner. [/quote] Wise words! Where could one take it to get checked over?

Attention Fender aficionados! I have the opportunity of first dibs on a 70's P Bass, here's part of the email I received [Quote] Fender Precision Bass (early 70's - can't remember the exact year - it was quite a while ago!!). Serial Number 326564. It has a Tortoise Shell Scratch Plate, original Fender Case and all the original chrome fittings . (All in Excellent condition). [/quote] The guy is the second owner from new, the first being his mate who sadly died so he bought it from the widow and has hardly used it since. What would be a fair price to offer? Thanks Andy

Try a google search for "portable PA system", you'll find a load of more suitable items. HTH

I would loosen the strings before tightening the trussrod and try a little back and forth movement of the Allen key to try and free it up. Make sure you have the correct size Allen key! [quote name='uncle psychosis' timestamp='1382224127' post='2249579'] Have it a go tonight. Unfortunately I think my truss rod is buggered, I couldn't get the damn thing to move. Any tips for loosening them off or am I just going to have to raise the saddles and deal with high action? :-( [/quote]

How about an Ibanez AGB 140 or AGB 200 if you want a short scale? I will be putting an AGB 140 in the for sale section soon if that is of interest . [url="http://smg.photobucket.com/user/andyonbass/media/IMG_0830_zps581540e3.jpg.html"][/url]

Recent trade deal with Chris was an easy and pleasant experience, he was extremely efficient and honest and the deal was hassle free and quick. I'd thoroughly recommend him as a trading partner, one of the good guys!

Just completed a trade deal with Brian and couldn't be happier! He kept me informed throughout the process and was true to his word! Bass was packed well and shipped promptly. I would not hesitate to deal with him again and highly recommend him. Top guy!!

Am I correct in thinking you can get a gadget that enables you to plug into your i-phone? Are they any good?

Nice one Clarky!!
