  1. He is a theiving, lowlife pr*ck! I bought a set of white EMG jazz pups from him for 70quid posted and he never bothered sending them. When I contacted ebay they told me to call his local police station as it was a fraud. No help from ebay and he also managed to palm me off with excuses until the deadline for a paypal claim had passed. Well I'd like to say there was a happy ending but he has my dosh and I will never buy anything from the States again. I did send him a goodsized paragraph of imaginative scottish abuse everyday for a month with lots of death threats and explicit details of what I was going to do to his mum! Dave

  8. [quote name='AndyTravis' post='680820' date='Dec 10 2009, 11:31 PM']please note; previous, previous owner, i didn't screw anything to anywhere!!! Anyhow, i can vouch for this bass being a lovely piece before the much needed fretwork; it had been in storage for 13 or so years before i got it. Best of luck with the sale. Andy[/quote] Sorry Andy I meant to say A previous owner not the!! Thanks for the kind words but I think this one is going to spend another 13 years away from sunlight if I keep it! Great sound and plays really well but I just dont need it. Cheers. Dave
  9. [quote name='magee' post='680708' date='Dec 10 2009, 09:45 PM']I'm selling my black Precision. It's an S9 serial number bass, which means it's from 1979 to 1981. This is a cracker of a bass, it's got the trademark Precision thump and feels just lovely in your hands, really solid and even and beautifully put together. It's black with a black scratchplate and a maple fingerboard. It's in smashing condition, no major dents or scrapes or anything. The neck is beautiful, straight and with no issues at all. The action goes lovely and low and the neck has that broad, flat, comforting feeling the good Precisions have. This is not the world's lightest bass. Like many Precisions of the era it's on the heavy side. I don't find it a problem, I rehearse with it for three hours at a time no problem and gig with it without an issue. But if you need a lightweigh bass, this isn't for you. The upside of that, though, is that it's got a great big thumping tone, it feels solid and plays beautifully and sounds superb. It's a wrench to sell this, but I've sprung for another one and this one has to shuffle out the door to make fiscal room for it. So there we are. It's in Glasgow, £950 plus shipping.

The finish on the 79 I had was falling off down to the wood!! Change in laquer or something I was told. Scratchplate looks good aswell....has this been in an attic?? Nice bass...wish I could afford it!
  10. OK! Bought this to use as a back up but can't see me ever needing one so it will roll around my van waiting on a broken string that will never come (breaks a string at the next gig) It's in fair condition, broken pick up surround by previous owner trying to screw it to Australia for some reason. Otherwise it's intact. A few scratches but not bad for it's age. Please dont make post photos...we all know what they look like!! Wasn't great when I received it but thanks to my local magician/tech it has been revived at a cost of £110. Fret levelling and set up were essential and worth it for how it plays now so I'm asking £150 posted. Comes with Hohner gig bag. Trade wise, anything of similar value (fretless preffered but not essential) Dave Sold on fleabay for £135
  11. [quote name='steve-soar' post='672656' date='Dec 2 2009, 11:22 PM']£2000?....jog on![/quote]
  12. The best £650 you'll ever spend!! Didn't know Sandberg did Maple boards as I'd never seen one even on the bloody website!! The photos of this bass made me feel sick! Anyway, they are great basses and I'd have this in a second if funds permitted. Have a bump on me Dave
  13. [quote name='Ghosts Over Japan' post='644340' date='Nov 3 2009, 12:59 PM']Good shout either way! Wish I had £200 to go down with![/quote] S'gone. I phoned today to see if they'd post and it was sold this morning! Bollox! If any bc'ers have a Washburn Status hanging around please get intouch!

  15. I emailed the seller and he told me he bought the bass from Douglas the Lurpak trombonist!!
  16. I'm in Edinburgh and emailed the guy as soon as the posting went up. Got one back yesterday saying it was sold. The guy who got it must've been like lightning! Gumtree had a warwick streamer on a couple of weeks ago for £400. When I went to have a look the guy pushed the price up £50 claiming a lot of people had phoned him telling him it was too cheap. After a quick once over and a noodle I decided to pass as the neck was iffy and the frets were totally shagged. The guy could'nt beleive that I didn't buy it. It pays to see what you are buying sometimes!!
  17. Just a quick note to anyone thinking of dealing with Paul. He's a really decent, reliable bloke and I can recommend him highly! Enjoy the new bass mate!! Dave
  18. Trade for an active fretless or fiver of equal value. Can do cash your way on a part exchange for a more expensive bass.
  19. [quote name='2x18' post='586228' date='Sep 1 2009, 08:38 AM']Hi Dave None for sale at the moment , but you know how it is -- Always Gassing! I might have had that Ray of you mate! Anyway another Bump for a Tasty Bass! Regards Will.[/quote] Thanks Will. Could have sold the thing 10 times over! Will do price including postage if that's any more incentive for you people teetering on the brink of buying
  20. [quote name='2x18' post='585577' date='Aug 31 2009, 08:20 AM']This is a cracking Bass guys with a Lovely neck -- Im tempted to have it back,but my other 4 P-Basses probably rule it out! Whats that White Musicman in your photos Dave ?- Thats very Nice! --Have a Bump on me! Will[/quote] Hi Will. Anymore nice basses for me? Just sold the Stingray on here this week. The thread is still on here somewhere but I'm too lazy to find the link Hope you are well mate? Dave
  21. Moving on my pbassalike as I've just bought a Sandberg pm4. Bought on here a year ago from Mr 2x18. It's a great bass made from quality parts. Body is of unknown origin but is well made and not too heavy. Neck is a Mighty Mite jazz with the jazz bass logo on. Solid upgraded gold bridge with matching Schaller tuners and an EMG pbass pickup. Selling this with 2 spare pickguards. One in firey lava and the other in red tortoishell. Strung with standard gauge rotosounds it's also recently had a professional set up fretdress. It's in good condition with hardly any dings or scratches. Here's a link to a gallery: [url="http://img200.imageshack.us/gal.php?g=p1010816y.jpg"]http://img200.imageshack.us/gal.php?g=p1010816y.jpg[/url] This is a great player with a really low action and a fast neck. It's been my main gigging bass for the past year and it sounds amazing aswell. Paid £250 last year I'd be happy with £200 including postage. Thanks for looking Dave
  22. [quote name='cd_david' post='581966' date='Aug 26 2009, 10:29 PM']I would say its worth about £750ish easy. Have you checked the provenance? do you know for a fact that the neck was added after the factory? I have read that during the transition period they bolted anything together to use old stock. This could be one of those instruments. ATB Dave[/quote] I dont know for a fact if the neck was added laterly just assumed it was as theres a 3 year difference in age. How do you check the provenance?
  23. [quote name='Rockern' post='581828' date='Aug 26 2009, 08:12 PM']So the pickup and preamp are original? The pickguard is not? Would you consider sending it to Sweden?[/quote] Yes,yes and yes. Might have to add a bit on for postage though. Postage included is for UK only.
  24. [quote name='BarelyL4' post='580109' date='Aug 25 2009, 12:39 PM']Hi there Dave, obviously the Sandberg is working out for you if you are looking to sell your beloved MM! [/quote] It's the dugs baws mate! Using pbassalikes all the time now so it's sitting in the cupboard under the stairs like Harry Potter:) Would prefer a trade if anything as it's a difficult bass to put a price to. I paid £600 for it and have had it for 10 years so maybe...£500 posted? Dave
