  1. Complain to the Ombudsman. If it's covered in the garage, and the van is in the garage, then I think it's an unfair distinction and the FOS may well agree. Jake (reasonably experienced insurance lawyer)
  2. Julian sold me his Squier VM loaded Jazz body. Despite Parcelfarce's best attempts, I managed to get it intact due to his excellent packing. It's in really good nick and I have no reason to doubt that when it's finally built up it'll play like a beaut. He's a pleasure to deal with. Thanks Jake
  3. Hi, I'll take it if I may. PM coming. Cheers Jake
  4. If I was still in Brum is be all over this. Do you want to ping the setlist over and I can see whether I know any of it? Might cut out some rehearsals?
  5. Saw Billy at Cheltenham Jazz Festival this year - he's one of my favourite players (I'm primarily a drummer) and he hasn't lost an ounce of groove!
  6. Some more pics of the P-bass guard: [attachment=165381:IMG_2968.jpg] [attachment=165382:IMG_2970.jpg]

  10. I'll have both if Al doesn't take the J, but if he does I'll take just the P. PM sent. Cheers Jake
  11. Does it have the capacity to mix two inputs like the J-Retro? I only ask because I'm considering putting one in a P and getting a j pup in at the bridge.
  12. Purchased a foot switch - all perfect, thanks!
  13. Gah! I was in Brum for 10 years looking to put some kind of fusion jazz band together, and shortly after I move this comes up! Good luck with the project, sounds fantastic!
  14. Not sure if there's a gag I'm missing here: http://www.gumtree.com/p/community/cool-black-bassist-wanted/1051695538 Or is it just a stunning lack of self-awareness on the part of the poster?
  15. No, not immersed in the tub, but located in Bath, Avon! Relocated from Brum back in October 2013. I'm an experienced player (20 years or so) in various styles - jazz, funk, soul, blues, latin, swing, rock etc. Looking for function band or jazz or funk band in the first instance, but open to suggestions! I really want to get playing again. All pro gear, transport, v reliable and can read music too.
  16. I"ve moved to Bath from Brum fairly recently, and unfortunately left my bands behind. I'm fairly new to bass playing - I'm an okay player, not a wild whizzy soloist, but reasonably solid with blues, soul and funk. Looking for function bands in the above genres, but would like to hook up with anyone who fancies a jam too.
  17. [quote name='Harry' timestamp='1384811975' post='2281112'] Are they? don't be sorry it was advertised as a usa one!!!! But yes great kit , thanks for that .. [/quote] Yes, I had one of the first Renowns (not Purewood) kits into the UK - absolutely superb kit, looked and sounded fantastic. I do regret getting rid - though now I have a USA one!
  18. Hi, sorry to be a pain but it's not a made in USA Gretsch - the Renown series is all Far Eastern made. Lovely kit though!
  19. Bought basically a home studio from Paul - drum mics, a FireWire audio interface and Xlr leads. It arrived in super fast time, packed superbly and he even chucked in the FireWire cable - thanks Paul!
  20. Bought a Dimarzio Ultrajazz from Alan - great to deal with, packed expertly and he even held off posting at my request so it wouldn't arrive during my house move - a true gent, thanks.
