    [quote name='JapanAxe' timestamp='1435337060' post='2807903'] I select my couriers via Interparcel.com. Most quotes come with £50 or £100 cover, which you can then add to, typically at a rate of 2% of the insured value. [/quote] Interparcel have just told me £1000 maximum.

    [quote name='BassBus' timestamp='1435336096' post='2807885'] Don't know if it helps but Status Graphite ship their new basses with UK Mail. They are worth a lot more than £1000. [/quote] Just tried them and the parcel is too big.

    I've been trying to find a Courier to take my preEB Stingray to Denmark however I keep coming up against limitations to the insurance cover. ParcelFarce say £100 max and others are saying £1000 which is not enough. Anyone found a Courier who will give cover above £1000?

    Speedworth, the Stock Car Racing company, used to play this as the cars started their parade lap. RIP Tongham Stadium.

    [quote name='gary mac' timestamp='1435228967' post='2806683'] Let us know what you want done, we are at your service. [/quote] Whilst I can fully understand the reasoning behind not allowing public responses to Wanted Posts it seems ludicrous to stop the originators deleting their own posts. For example, in my case, I've changed my mind. I would have thought that the Mods have more than enough to do without having to undertake such a simple administrative task. It's just plain daft or is it something to do with control.

    [quote name='spyder' timestamp='1435215844' post='2806502'] Do these have raised poles? [/quote] Yes, they poke out the top of the shell by just under 1mm.

    <p>[quote name='DarkHeart' timestamp='1434823184' post='2803124'] Aaaahhh beaten to the Battle of Britain theme by Rich, favorite film ever and also inspiring soundtrack that just fits! [/quote] This reminded me of another Spitfire themed movie "The First Of The Few" and Williams Walton's Spitfire Prelude and Fugue.

    Richard Rodney Bennett's superb score for "Murder On The Orient Express" especially as the train pulls out of Istanbul and gathers speed. Pure musical poetry

    Actually it's always played well and sounded good which is why I bought it in the first place. The questioning of originality would never have occurred had I not taken the neck off to check as I was changing the strings. I should probably have done it sooner, but hey, we're never too old to learn. I've not used Rotosound strings for years however it was Billy Sheehan, I think, at the Bass Guitar Show, who commented that the majority of hit records had been made with Fender Precisions strung with Rotosound strings. I thought I'd give them a try and I'm not disappointed.

    Recently purchased a set of Rotosounds from Daniel. A no fuss transaction. Top man.

    Thanks guys. I can relax and just enjoy its great tone with a new set of Rotosounds.

    A couple of years ago I bought an advertised 1973 Precision with an refinished neck from a well known purveyor of bass equipment. I thought it was time to check and document it so today I've had the neck off and had a look at the stamps and pots. So what date do the Fender experts reckon this is? Neck has the name David stamped on the heel. I paid good money for this on the basis that it was a 1973. I think I've been conned.

    Dares and Pots.

    So it's one of these then:

    [quote name='bongo61' timestamp='1433580399' post='2792203'] Any pictures of date stamps or pots ? [/quote] Not immediately to hand but I'll take it apart on Monday and get some shots.

    I cannot see myself gigging regularly again so after 12 years the time has sadly come to part with my lovely pre-EB Stingray which according to the seller was allegedly made in 1980 for a named artist Body is Ash finished in Root Beer lacquer. It has survived the past 35 years remarkably well and only has a few small dings and scratches and the occasional cracking in the lacquer. Neck is a beautiful glowing Maple with a Rosewood fingerboard and brass nut. Hardware has all been gold plated which is showing signs of wear. It comes with its original hardcase. Weight is about 10lb 12oz. Might possibly trade but ideally I am looking for an outright sale.

    Sold pending the usual.
