  1. Was Whitney stoned or damaged from her past?
  2. If you do decide to sell, I am after a precision.
  3. Thanks chaps, most helpful, it's really appreciated. I think it could be a long search, but I am a patient type,
  4. Hi all, I've been hankering after an old Fender for some time now, this has been made worse recently due to the flurry of postings from Pepone2401. Now I really want one, but due to lack of funds I need to consider selling, swopping or trading some of my current collection. Twenty odd years back the last thing I wanted was a fender and was really keen on exotic woods and active electronics, anyway got that all out of my system and now find myself favouring simple passive arrangements. The reason for this post is to ask for some pointers really. An idea of prices for sixties and seventies models, either precision or jazz. Good years, bad years etc. Pitfalls to look out for. Not sure yet, but thinking of selling,swapping, trading my Wal. It's an option to consider. I can't get any pics up at the mo, but I did post sometime back in the gear porn section (page 29). So any info would be appreciated or offers from fender owners, via pms if you feel it's more appropriate. I also have a 1980's Yamaha bb1200 and a , bex 4 Sorry, bit of a rambling post, but not having a good day today. So hope to hear from some you, all the best Gary.
  5. That looks awesome, so when is it's first gig? Enjoy
  6. Nice collection. What fretless are you after then?
  7. gary mac

    gone

    nice ones Clarky
  8. Good to think that she will get some love.... enjoy
  9. Another beauty. I said before that I wasn't going to be looking at any more of your posts, but I failed. Keep em coming.......it's such a treat. all the best, Gary
  10. That's a beaut, I'm almost tempted to sell my Wal again to fund it.
  11. Brilliant review, thanks for your efforts.
  12. +1 for T cut, did one of mine over the weekend, it came up a treat
  13. I'm going to stop looking at your posts. They give me the major I wants. I want I want I want
  14. Who can say what they are really worth? Like Si asks would there be £1200 worth of difference? I love Wals and I love Fenders, but do feel the prices are a bit silly for some models. So many bassists have been clamouring after Wals and enthusing about them over the years, the new Wal team are aware of this of course and I'm sure that this has influenced their price structuring. Who can blame them. I suspect it will not affect the used value of the originals. On that subject thinking about trading my old Wal for an american vintage jazz or maybe precision, any one want to discuss a deal. I am not absolutely sure about this, it may be because i'm bored on a miserable grotty monday afternoon, so consider it a tentative feeler.
  15. I've had a look.... The GAS is back.
  16. I'm not going to check out the site today as I am feeling lonely and depressed and my wife isn't here to keep me in check. The last time that the same set of conditions occured I found myself bidding and winning a bass that I didn't need on ebay. Don't think all my bodily parts will remain intact if I have to break the news that I've ordered a new Wal bass, when she returns this evening. Although I could try saying that I had just ordered the entry level model, with no extras. On second thoughts, I will just have a quick look.
  17. come on come on..............this isn't fair, I can't handle all this tension on a monday morning
  18. Played a private function in Ware last night. I really didn't feel upto it after a rough week health wise. Got through it fairly well, a couple of minor mistakes, but given the level of sweating, coughing, shaking and sneezing going on, not bad. I still made less mistakes than some of the guitards, although I did have one of those hideous "I can't remember how to get from verse to chorus moments on Hotel California". A couple of weeks off now and then a depp with Mice with Glasses at the end of the month.
  19. How could you be out of order Peter, you're the bassist.
  20. Good luck with it matey. I've been the same as you all week, with the added joy of shingles in the mix. Got a gig tomorrow night, two one hour sets. Trying to practice today, but exhausted just sitting down to play. Wish you well
  21. that's a cracker Peter, good set of pics as well and nicely set off in front of the dry stone wall. Both the guitar and the wall make we want to revisit the lakes. I would have to sell my Wal to fund the guitar and the long drive though. Tempted. All the best, Gary
  22. I purchased a set of wizards for my squier vmj, they went in with no alterations required Although I did put them in the wrong way first up and wondered why the pickguard wouldn't go back on. Was about to set about it with a file, when fortunately I realised my mistake.
  23. Good luck with the sale. These are cracking basses, I have one in my collection. Seeing your ad spurred me in to getting it out of its case for a play. What a joy and still in tune after a year or so of languishing in its case. Even the case is impressive. You have cured my GAS for a another precision and I will probably gig the yamaha next week. All the best Gary
