That is the tidiest fx array I have ever seen. Your OCD must be worse than mine.

PM'ed regarding 2nd one.

From this year's Spring collection.

I've got some spare left over from xmas if you need some.

Ooh I so must have one.... but not in [color="#FF8C00"][b]orange[/b][/color].

Did this sell?

Sorry this is sold.

Anyway firstly, who's to say he's using genuine P pups/electrics and secondly he's a pretty competent bassist.... I'm sure he knows what he's doing.... especially considering how much stick 'tallica get from whiny bitches for even farting in the wrong direction.

Loving the walky chorus bit.

We (my originals band #1) have got a gig on xmas eve and we're gonna bung this in about 3 songs from the end. It'll probably go down a treat. But will it fit with our rather more heavy stuff? Who gives... it's Chriiiiiiiiiiistmaaaaaas!

Ahhh I feel all xmasy now. Cheers.

Basses with holes where there shouldn't be holes?
Guilty m'lud.

This one of me turned up on our Bebo.

This was mine (below). Seymour Duncan PickUp and 3 band active EQ. Took a bit of work but it sounded great. The battery cavity has already been routed out on the bass up for grabs here so it wouldn't be too difficult to upgrade if you wanted to[/quote]
Careful now Bassman.
It's an OLP and sounds and plays like an OLP, which is no bad thing right? I have a MM SUB and these two sound is like chalk and cheese. I dare say if you managed to pick up an original MM 5er pup (buy a lottery ticket and ask the Mrs to do that special thing the same day coz your luck's in bro) you'd get close to the MM sound but at the end of the day the woods and hardware are different. It is closer to the truth to say that this bass is a damn good stepping stone to getting the feel for a MM. I have played this bass and it's worth every penny of what Matt is asking maybe even a few sheckles more but it is no MM.

[quote name='Russty_dub' post='358767' date='Dec 19 2008, 01:07 PM']that be me selling that

i bought it from some one a while ago and thats what they said it was valued at (cant remember who he said valued it

i paid £750 for it and i just fancy a change

i put a low price so i had better chance of selling it and thats all i need to afford my music man[/quote]Delete the 1300 bit then as it makes the auction sound dodge. Just say that it is worth more than the asking price.
It will then go to someone who knows it's worth and knows what to expect and you and the buyer will feel much happier about life, the universe and everything.

[quote name='Russty_dub' post='358767' date='Dec 19 2008, 01:07 PM']please dont hold me to any info i put on about it as its all to the best of my knowledge an what ive been told![/quote]Actually it is your responsibility to put forward the facts not just hazy stuff - otherwise it may come back and bite you on the bum.

Good luck with the sale though.

Don't ask my g/f she's been dating the same knob for the last 12 years now.

Nice recovery. It's just a shame they couldn't do anything about the tuners after they got all bent back like that.

80 quid! Holy crap!

[quote name='Beedster' post='358316' date='Dec 18 2008, 09:26 PM']Proof it's genuine '70s Fender [/quote]

[quote name='Beedster' post='358316' date='Dec 18 2008, 09:26 PM']....At least being a lefty there's a limited market so perhaps not too many bidders? Good luck
Chris[/quote]That, or it means that the "not so many bidders" are all checking the same limited amount of basses - forcing the competition a bit.

I'm sweet enough already.
B'doom-tschhh. Hah-thang-kyah.

Sorted, I'll meet you half way then Dave. Milk and no sugars please Sarah.

[quote name='dave_bass5' post='355709' date='Dec 16 2008, 10:25 AM']My guitarist would have a fit if i turned up with a 21012R. Can i borrow it ;-)[/quote]
No probs, the 1000 mile round trip would be worth it if only to put him in his place.

[quote name='dave_bass5' post='355651' date='Dec 16 2008, 09:32 AM']My LMII + Schroeder 1210R does the same job. He moans he cant hear himself sometimes.
Money well spent.[/quote]
He he you got me all excited Dave. My last dozen or so gigs have all had the backline provided, so in exchange for an easy life I've not used my LMII + Schroeder 21012R in anger for what seems like forever. However I've got a gig on xmas eve which I've decided to use just my own gear because of the difficult acoustics in the venue. :brow: The only downside is that it's not with my main band but with my originals and neither of the guitarists in that band are all that egotistical and subsequently aren't overly loud.

Oh and just to keep on topic - I'll be taking my custom 4 not my 5 as all the songs but 1 are written in drop C#-G#-C#-F# tuning and I don't fancy transposing that lot.

[quote name='EssentialTension' post='355546' date='Dec 16 2008, 12:37 AM']Well, point taken but I didn't mean to start a row about it and I didn't call the notes 'paltry'. It was a throw away line really. [/quote]
Me neither mate and the "paltry" was 100% me, I wasn't putting words into your mouth, just telling my story.

[quote name='EssentialTension' post='355546' date='Dec 16 2008, 12:37 AM']At a gig last weekend, during the interval, the drummer and I were talking to an old friend of his who he hadn't seen for years. Turned out he used to play bass. Later after the second set the drummer says to me about his old friend 'He was a very good bass player, he could play a five-string properly and all that'. [/quote]
Ooh I want to be him.

Mmmm shiny.
I thought it was ok the way it was (although I remember you saying they were a bit rattly) but these are nice too and definetely less "Indonesian" looking.
