[quote name='budget bassist' post='894894' date='Jul 14 2010, 05:55 PM']I'm in no position to be buying new basses right now! [/quote] Oh these would be used basses so that's OK

+1 Grea price. I suspect that won't be there long. Looks identical to the £1k one linked above but I'd still make absolutely sure it's not a Squire VMJ with a knob change and decal swap and where's the orginal bridge? Edit.. The VMJ doesn't have a bullet trusrod end so I guess it's not.

Last day of this fine offer. Grab it [url="http://www.hatsandcaps.co.uk/Elope-March-Hare-Ears-P190234/"]Rabbit[/url]

[quote name='Huwberry' post='894930' date='Jul 14 2010, 06:37 PM']Haha yeah I saw that earlier. Good stuff, and kudos to whoever organised the Basschat discount. Hats are a funny one for me. If I find a hat that I don't think makes me look like a prick, then I'll inevitably wear it so much that everyone thinks I looks like a prick.[/quote] Ha ha thanks.. That was me (polishes nails)

Good call, Call. Mark is really skilled at helping people find what they want and his place is just brilliant. The Yamaha BB2024X is stunning too Congratulations and I wish you a long and happy relationship with your non precision PS Yeah I'm so taken with my PJ arrangement on my Wood and Tronics that I'm thinking of having Jon add a J pickup to my Shuker P5....

[quote name='Huwberry' post='894843' date='Jul 14 2010, 04:38 PM']Image wise, I've been making more of a conscious effort lately. Bear in mind, I works with what I gots (receding hairline ). I don't think I'd look out of place in a touring backing band, for example. For business card purposes I'll most likely use photos from a recent photo shoot with my function band, which itself is going for the corporate dollar with a co-ordinated image. We're all going for the sharp suits look, skinny tie etc. Perhaps it's a bit too 'function' for my own purposes (would it be worth getting a few 'casual' photos done?), but it's better than the 'catering staff' look (all black) we were rocking up until a few months back.[/quote] [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?s=&showtopic=94329&view=findpost&p=888822"]Get a hat[/url] ..

[quote name='Clarky' post='894846' date='Jul 14 2010, 04:39 PM']I say much lower for the Precision, probably no more than £500 depending on condition/modifications. However the 80s is a tricky period (when you have highly valued Squier JVs etc) and I am not at all sure. OldGit is the expert on Japanese Precisions and I'm sure he'll be on shortly[/quote] Nice of you to say so Clarky. My specialist subject is the re-issues, really. Like I say the pics will tell...

[quote name='phil.mcglassup' post='894837' date='Jul 14 2010, 04:32 PM']First-Mid 80's Fender Precision Bass. Black. Rosewood fingerboard, black head and tuners. Mid '80's. Japan. Three very,very small damaged areas. Needs new strings. With hard rectangular case.[/quote] Depends .. I'll await the pics but I think BudgetBassist may be a tad ambitious on that price (unless you are buying BB, in which case I may be able to get you a few ) The black headstock and tuners smacks of the P specials unless it's a Lyte. Either way those generally go for under £500. The only early 80's Fenders over £500 I've seen are JV serial number ones and they don't have black headstocks and tuners, IME. Good pictures will help, also the start of the serial number

Tell us what they are and we'll advise you. There are some experts on most types on here.

Oh yes. It's fantastic.

I've never seen machine heads with Fender stamped on the winders before ... Wonder what they are from ...

Ok well it's not entirely true as Mrs OldGit snared me at a gig. However it's a lot more complicated than that as I was playing saxophone with my bro in law's band and he's the bass player. She was already living with him, and my sister, and she'd known me for years and it was a setup by a mutual friend... But other than that, nope....

[quote name='Bassassin' post='893555' date='Jul 13 2010, 11:28 AM']Excellent version. And very appealing to those of us who play in female-fronted rock bands. Anyway I've found a video for this - turns out it's Ms Hagen guesting on a 1994 track by a German band with a somewhat NSFW name: [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gi6Hx4G3BCo"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gi6Hx4G3BCo[/url] Das ist gut, ja, ist es nicht?[/quote] Oh DO try to keep up at the back there!
