    I was tempted enough when this came up for sale last time...

    I think the Trans Teal Rays are the dog's nutsticles. In fact, I sold a black/black/maple SR4 on here last year - that combo's about as common as you can get but I still had plenty of interest and got a price I was happy with. Put it up for trade, you never know what you'll get and you can always say no

    [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1326721145' post='1500926'] As I take every opportunity to post my (ex) 76P, which I bought from new and owned for 35 years... it's a 'real' relic... [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/116578-precisions/page__view__findpost__p__1226142"]http://basschat.co.u...ost__p__1226142[/url] Also worn along the forearm contour... [/quote] Brilliant bass - my 77 is in that thread somewhere, it's a twin of yours but with the covers still on it. It's my 97 with the odd wear though, it looks like I took a scalpel and scraped a line of paint out of it down to the wood in a perfectly straight line. Couldn't look faker if I'd actually faked it.

    I don't smoke, but my Ric's previous owner definitely did. I don't mind it though; it just smells used. I still couldn't buy a car or sofa from a smoker, but I do reckon each of my basses smells unique in a good way. I probably spend too much time smelling my basses.

    Looks lovely, I think it beats the real wear I've got on my basses. I've got a Precision where my forearm's made a 3 inch line along the top edge where the wood is just showing through. Definitely real wear, but I've somehow produced an almost a perfect rectangle. What I'm trying to say is your Jazz's wear may not be real, but at least it makes sense.

    Very nice, if I was in the country right now I'd probably be talking myself into having this. The UK looks pretty bloody cold right now BTW.

    Almost bought one of these a while back, but it wasn't the colour combo I wanted. This one IS the colour combo I wanted, but now I have no money.

    I also just picked up a P for a mega deal - a '97 to go with my '77. Might just be the best P I've ever played, love it. Guilt's for suckers.

    Yeah, I just prefer the sound of it. It doesn't stop me picking up a guitar once in a while but I'll always be a bassist. I got told at my gig last night that I even 'look' like a bass player. Most people say I look like either a pirate or Jesus

    Ahoy, I'm selling this Squier Vintage Modified Precision Bass TB (or Squire Telebass to you and me) for a guitarist friend of mine. It's an Indonesian-made 2008 in near-mint condition. I've taken a picture of the worst damage (a small mark on the back of the bass). Aside from that it only has a few tiny surface scratches on the back. Took me a while to find them. He's only played it a few times and told me he'd never even plugged it in - I did yesterday and this thing is a beast. Genuinely impressed. I've got a video of me aimlessly noodling about on it here: [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EWO219WzQcM"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EWO219WzQcM[/url] Note my girlfriend saying I can't keep it. He's put a price of £200 on it but is open to offers. The other thing I should mention is that I'll be out of the country from the 15th, so whilst I'll still be managing the sale you'll be picking it up from his house if you buy it after the 15th. If you buy it before then you'll be picking it up from me. Both of us are based in Southampton, and both of us will make you a cup of tea if you pick it up. I'm afraid I've got no means of postage, so collection it'll have to be. Pictures! (cat stays with me) Cheers

    Bright pink one about 7 years old, still going strong.
  15. Mylkinut
    Yup, insured up to the eyeballs and my camera's up to it. As for dodgy officials, I'm planning on using my English charms to get by them (as well as the wad of dollars stashed in my sock) Not sure about my home being mobile but I've currently got two cars parked outside that aren't either

    Cheers guys - to be honest the worries of losing my skills only came up recently because it literally just occurred to me that I won't be playing for quite a while! I guess it's not worth worrying about - trip of a lifetime and all that. Can anyone else recommend places for us to visit, musical or no?
  17. Mylkinut
    Right, in two weeks I'm leaving to go on an 8-month world trip with my girlfriend. I'm roadtripping across the States, camping in NZ and Australia, backpacking around SEA and taking trains around India. It's something I've been planning to do for years and needless to say, I'm pretty damn excited. Trouble is, I can't take a bass. How do you guys recommend I keep from getting too rusty? Pop into shops and noodle once in a while? Or buy a rubbish acoustic from Walmart to keep until it gets too bulky to hold on to? Also, can anyone give me some good bass-orientated places to visit? So far I've got away with telling the gf that we're heading to the Fender factory and a few vintage shops, but obviously more will need to be done

    Liam bought my Stingray off me. Great guy to deal with, even gave me a deposit on the bass to hold it until payday. Hope you're enjoying it

    Bought my Ashdown Mini 48 off Sibob, was a pleasure to deal with. Cheers man!
  21. Mylkinut
    Very nice, I just sold a Ray on here but looking at yours the regret's setting in... Have a bump on me

    That Ric Sound

    Mylkinut replied to a topic in Bass Guitars

    I find I get something like this (or at least as aggressive) with mine if I solo the bridge pickup and play hard - but then again I don't use a pick. I dribbled over the burgundyglo slightly.
  23. Mylkinut
    Highish, pretty much where it is when I sit. I'm above the buckle-rash zone at any rate.

    [quote name='Lozz196' post='1317014' date='Jul 26 2011, 01:35 PM']If looking for a Jazz, this has def got to be on the list: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=147740"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=147740[/url] MIJ Jazz, for £350.[/quote] It's a beauty, there's also a 2008 MIA that turned up on Gumtree yesterday for £450. Was in the market for a Precision but I can't really ignore many of the Jazzes that have been cropping up. Anyone want to lend me their Jazz for a band practice or 3?

    Since the clientele at my band's regular gig venues seems to be going downhill pretty rapidly, I'm in need of a new 'giggable' bass. I love the sound of Jazz basses played alone but I've never had the chance to try one in a band situation. How well do they cut through? My band is very Arcade-Firish in style, but my lines are pretty complex so I'd rather they didn't get lost in the mix. Up till now I've been playing my '77 Precision (which does the job just fine) but there are so many cheap Jazzes out there at the moment I kinda want to take advantage...
