    Hi All, Im having a bit of a clear out and one of the things to go is my old Hondo P-Bass. Its in bits at the minute, and comprises of; Precision Bass Body (very recently sprayed a nice sea-foam green) Original Pickups Original Bridge (not in good condition) Original Black/White/Black Pickguard Maple neck (with jazz inlays on every fret but the 12th - there is some wear on the 12th fret) - Neck is straight and playable Schaller Tuners and Ferrules Yours for £50 (not bad considering i was offered £40 for a similar set of tuners not long ago) If you would like postage, then im happy to post - ill just need to get a quote for it. Again, trades considered - anything cheap bass wise (im into projects), or pedals - just let me know.

    Not really relevant, but there is a japanese company on Ebay that sell them (i think i bought mine for about £8) - and there was only a picture of the inlays, and no measurements - when i got them, i found that the inlays wouldnt fit after the 12th fret. Anyway - I would suppose it would vary by manufacturer, but these japanese ones are ok on the maple board that i have (which are more difficult to clean IMO) and i would assume that they are made to withstand the constant cleaning that necks and fingerboards get. Reading that back, it actually doesnt answer your question, but oh well. Its an insight at least!

    Being a massive Lynott fan I can safely say that ive never seen, or read, or heard about Lynott [i]playing [/i]a sunburst bass. As far as i know he played the legendary black fenders, the red one (thats pictured earlier) and a BC rich bass (although that might have only be in the video for "do anything you wanna do") and an Ibanez Roadstar (i think) That doesnt say that he didnt own one - according to many books, his first ever bass was a Fender P Bass given to him by Brush Shiels, but nobody ever said what it was. However, the Phil Lynott Exhibition in Dublin bought out this gem..[url="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lauranagle/5588262767/"]http://www.flickr.com/photos/lauranagle/5588262767/[/url] but i doubt it would ever be for sale, and theres no history behind it - it could just have been a donated bass for the exhibition that was signed. I guess though, that if you do the usual checks, and it seems fine - then ignore the history and offer what you think its worth, and go from there.

    For Sale (or Trade..) My Yamaha BBN5. Ive dated the Serial Number back to 1986, so thats how old this bad girl is. It started off in life as a miserable black 5 string that at some stage or other got taken to bits, attached with a sticker (and screwdriver) and then put in a box in someones attic. Until one day.. I bought her in bits, looking a right sad state, and then did the following; Stripped the black paint off (my own cost) Filled and sanded and reshaped her (at my own cost) Painted her flame red with flame red paint flake (£35 for paint, £18 for flake) Cleaned and polished the tuners and ferrules (at my own cost) Replaced the bridge with a genuine Yamaha direct replacement (£35) New nut (£5) New pots and wiring (£10) New knobs (£30) Original pickups (meaty and growly) I was planning on getting a MOP scratchplate for it, but never got round to getting one made, but ill include a .dxf drawing of a pickguard for anyone that wants one. [b]BAD POINT - the wood around the nut isnt great and the nut isnt glued in place - the bass is still playable (i play it most weekends) and its only a problem when you change the strings - a little bit of sandpaper and decent glue will be a permanent fix.[/b] So that without the cost of buying the bass is just over £120, not counting the time and effort taken to do all the work. Ill upload some better pictures of the actual bass tomorrow, but im looking for [b]£150[/b] for this bass, or a trade for another 5 string. In the mean time, there are some pictures of the Work In Progress..

Comes with fitted hardcase and strap. Thanks Mark
