    Can I not tempt you Brian? 😆

    Unfortunately as a result of Parcelforce losing a valuable bass I bought and the ongoing compensation battle I need to sell this. Last in first out as they say. A recent purchase just prior to lockdown it hasn’t been gigged since and is in exactly the same condition as when I bought it off Bigthumb. For this limited edition model Fender combined classic features of the past with innovations from the present to create a unique take on the Precision bass. It has a light weight, contoured body and heavy duty bridge with options for through body stringing. A classic P bass and it plays beautifully. Frets have little wear and there are only a couple of tiny dings to the finish. The case is included as are all the bits and bobs. It weighs around 9lbs and balances perfectly. No trades I’m afraid, no none UK sales as it’s too expensive and risky. If you want it posting you will need to organise this yourself and it will need to be insured.My recent experiences mean I won’t accept Parcelforce as a courier option and collection is Tuesdays only. I’d definitely prefer pickup in person at an acceptable social distance of course! I will put the bass in it’s case in quarantine until the next lucky person plays it! Sold pending payment

    The ubiquitous weight question?

    Thanks Owen, we are awaiting news from the managers if this doesn’t happen I’ll take it further and will update this post.

    Over a month on since my last post ( oh the irony) and no sign of this. The sender opened a case and they - Parcelforce - closed it saying it was delivered - of course this was the wrong parcel. They have consistently refused to discuss anything with me other than acknowledging that the parcel has been lost. I found the CEO’s email and the sender contacted him and his PA has been looking into this however there were apparently no online records kept about the various conversations both myself and the sender have had with various Parcelforce staff members. One of the issues is a lack of a named person dealing with this. First names only given and no accountability. I used Parcelforce for most of my transactions. No more. As far as I’m concerned they have mugged me for just under a grand’s worth of bass. I’m livid.

    I have a lovely Vox AC50 Foundation amp and cab from 1966. It has been restored electronically and sounds great but the grill cloth on both amp and cab needs replacing. I need advice around refitting this cloth - if I can do it myself. Hoping to restore both but will start with the amp first. Any tips or links for doing this? Thanks in advance.

    Fantastic, friendly buyer. Mart bought my Trace Twin Valve head off me - great guy to deal with. Many thanks!

    Yes probably I’ve had four of them over the years. Always searching for the right bass and then I go back to my old Precisions and the Grabber!

    I owned this bass for a while Years ago it is an excellent example of Doug’s work. A steal at the price. GLWTS

    The warranty has around 3 months to run. I’m not sure if it’s transferable but it’s near new and not been pushed. If you arranged and paid for insured courier pickup that would be okay - I can pack it up in the original box.
  15. ash
    Yes it is
  16. ash
    Ooh very nice too - what’s its weight please? Sorry had to ask!!

    Any hum on it Geoff?

    The original bridge is back on so it’s all back to stock.

    Brian bought a ‘77 Precision Bass off me - couldn’t have gone smoother. A great guy to deal with. Thanks Brian!

    Poor thing

    I’m not surprised. As I said they are collector’s pieces and those who may not play but want them for nostalgic reasons will pay for them. I wouldn’t mind one myself but not at that price. Think I’ll stick to my quirky Shergold basses!

    Sorry I won’t ship abroad too heavy and too risky.
  23. ash
    Ha ha I don’t disagree on the playability front as I’ve played one!
  24. ash
    They may look odd but they are a little bit of UK rock and roll history and as a result collectible. They were also quite respected in their day as they were good sounding instruments. Jet Harris had one as did Mont Campbell of Egg. There were also connections with Burns - Burns Weill. I like their quirky looks no wonder they were known as the Martian Cricket Bat!
