    The item has been withdrawn apologies the novation keyboard was withdrawn as it isn't working properly.

    Perhaps this model of commerce is why the world is so screwed up I think we all enjoy making a few quid on a deal but the fact that this was bought from a charity and flipped at a gigantic price hike bothered me. That's merely me stating my opinion.
  3. ash
    Oh well it appears it went for £585 and now it's being flipped at over double the price.... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/291928733547?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

    Moog MF-101lowpass filter in superb condition, analogue envelope and filter effects with drive control. A great pedal for lots of funky wah effects and synth noises. No trades sorry. UK only. Boxed with generic PSU and manual.

    It's worth about £70 some poor misguided fool is going to be very disappointed

    I've just spotted something very similar to this on eBay. Perhaps it is the same one sold on? Nice looking bass!

    Here is a picture of the back and control cavity now it's stripped of parts and the giant back plate. Unlike some JB basses the cavity is quite small.

    The chap isn't particularly communicative I did ask about history and that's all he gave me. I think he just wanted rid of it however I doubt it had any celebrity connection. It's beautifully made and sounds pretty good too!

    Well the good news is that the electrics all seem to work after a clean and that the truss rod turns and moves the neck. Thanks for your kind words I'll update as things move on - it is a very solid and quite heavy instrument. The chap who I bought it from rescued it from a neighbour - in his words he saved it from the bonfire as the neighbour 'detests rock music and especially Black Sabbath which he believes this guitar make is particularly associated'. It beats the old Uncle's attic story anyhow

    I bought it - I may be daft but I love vintage UK gear and have not seen a RB shaped JB 8 string before. I like the idea of rescuing an old bass so I took the gamble. Fortunately there are no cracks or structural damage. The frets need cleaning of course but the trussrod looks ok and the short scale neck is pretty straight too. I can get it refinished and get John Carling of John Birch to look at the electrics. That's the plan anyway

    I'm based in Lancaster. As per forum rules pm me with trades but cash is the priority on this. It's a great buy. My only interests for basses are the bass we can't mention on here of the R prefix plus cash from my side. John Birch basses, Shergolds, Jaydee, JV Squier and that's it. The only other thing would be a Moogerfooger low pass with cash my way. Nothing else. Cheers!

    That's the chap!

    Yes it's lovely Paul Neild did it of Retro169 he's done several refins for me now including a '74 P bass road worn look restoration, Mart's Shergold Marathon 6 and this. Always does a great job with a quick turnaround.

    Not really but pm me just in case

    Sold

    I bought this from here earlier in the year - it's a rather lovely Status Energy bass with the carbon neck - an early version without trussrod. It has two Status Jazz pickups and an active circuit - pickup blend, volume and master tone. It can do anything from modern bright tones to a classic Jazz type sound.

    I still think the backplate is wrong or a replacement - serial numbers in later 70s basses were often on stickers behind the scratchplate or in the neck pocket but they should match the headstock serial. My thoughts are that the bass is a 'bitsa' made from genuine Fender parts or possibly the backplate has been replaced - the neck has the earlier larger pre '76 decal on the headstock. If it plays well and doesn't weigh a ton it could be a reasonable buy.

    Fender USA 1970s Precision pickup including plate and wire plus mounting screws.sold This pickup is ideal for someone wishing to restore a modded Fender Precision back to stock or someone who wants to add a real piece of vintage mojo to a reissue Fender bass. This pickup has been on my JV Squier for years but since acquiring an original JV unit I've returned my Precision to original spec. This is now surplus to requirements. I bought it from the US as it is now. It has a great tone with an aggressive bite to it. The pickup has the grey bobbins and has two serial numbers barely discernible thanks to the foam from the pickup sponges sticking to them. You can see the numbers on the pictures. I paid quite a bit for them including customs charges so I would like back what I paid and I'll include free UK postage. Sorry I don't want to risk shipping them overseas, if I remember correctly they were stuck at customs for a long time! Any questions please ask. No trades. Thanks.

    It's only rock n roll but I don't like it...😬
