[quote name='Stewart' post='842800' date='May 20 2010, 08:36 AM']Is this some kind of viral fan club? Not impressed...[/quote] Errrr... This is what's commonly known as a 'web forum'. What happens is someone starts a topic & if people have a sensible response to do with the opening post then they might choose to post a reply about their knowledge/experience of Pete Cornish cables. They might like them, they might not. The OP thinks they're really good - so I would presume he thought others might want to check them out. As to whether you're 'impressed' or not? Thanks for your valuable input. It's been really helpful.

[quote name='tauzero' post='842591' date='May 19 2010, 10:09 PM']It's been "messed about with" (or "enhanced") to improve it as a working instrument. That's the sad dichotomy between instruments as investments and instruments for musical use.[/quote] If it sells it'll more & likely end up hanging on a wall in bar in LA...so never get played again anyway. A sad end for a great bass that's been played on some great records.

[quote name='wateroftyne' post='842599' date='May 19 2010, 10:15 PM']Looks like it's been refinned as well...?[/quote] That's had the 'full monty' - refin, new pickguard, bridge in addition to the Jazz p-up & electrics...

Yep. This is genuine. But it's a shame it's been so messed about with...has been used on some great records though. Back in the day I owned a G&L for a short while that used to belong to Dave Pegg - was given to him personally by Leo Fender as a gift...

Nice authenticated history to it, although I would have thought for that amount of money you would want to try to put some clearer pics up because the main pic makes the finish look a bit too shiney shiney for such a used instrument.[/quote]

Yes - I'm pretty sure that's the winning price. So the buyer did very well - that's a good price for a '60 Jazz. [quote name='Sibob' post='841979' date='May 19 2010, 01:03 PM']Did it actually go for that?? Does a reserve still show up as 'not reached' even when the auction has ended? Si[/quote]

[quote name='HMX' post='840703' date='May 18 2010, 11:59 AM']Pure jazz growl - particularly noticeable on the low E sections around 0:36. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9TB_fi1fB3k"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9TB_fi1fB3k[/url][/quote] Yep - spot-on. That's nailed it for me. Though I think he uses a [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r8YLDb2hiLU"]pair of Dark Stars in his Jazz here[/url]?

Ash is a splendid fellow. Delivered a great bass cab tonight - which was EXACTLY as described. No problems, no fuss, just a great deal with a top class basschatter. Highly recommended!

"it will go in the back of a medium sized hatch no problem, although heavy one person can lift it although I wouldn't advise it."

[quote name='WILD FROG SHOT' post='822848' date='Apr 29 2010, 11:09 AM']+VAT on bidding price, +VAT on 15% buyers fee[/quote] + you have to drive to Stockport to collect them!

Looks genuine to me - with an honest description. Though, would always want to see it all in the flesh before parting with the cash. An ideal candidate for a nice restoration & body re-fin. Is probably a really great player's bass - from an outstanding year for Fender basses. Yes £3K would be a fair price IMHO.

[quote name='Sibob' post='808299' date='Apr 16 2010, 12:33 PM']You get my txt about that thumbrest Jim?[/quote] Yes Si - got your text (flaky mobile reception at our house - so sometimes struggle to reply to txts on the iPhone). That's a result mate! Woot!

Not out yet - but you can pre-order for delivery in June [url="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Fender-Precision-Basses-Detlef-Schmidt/dp/1574242547/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1271416846&sr=1-1"]Fender Precision Basses: 1951-1954[/url]
