[quote name='paul_5' post='1238746' date='May 20 2011, 09:27 PM']bought this body andneck for a tenner the other day. It's had a really amateur defret but plays well enough. [attachment=80507:19052011066.jpg] Needs new electronics and machine heads too. Anyone have any clue where i might find replacements?[/quote] Pop on over to the Westone forums and ask around there - still a good buy!

[quote name='Johnston' post='1238108' date='May 20 2011, 01:17 PM']I always get that iffy feeling when I see strangely high priced things with that statement.[/quote] Why - so you can pay higher Ebay fees without actually selling the item??? What I don't understand is that it doesn't even have the XLR out!

[quote name='noelk27' post='1234084' date='May 17 2011, 11:07 AM']Sure, he did all the mad stuff with a touch of panache, but ask him to hold down a beat and his timing wasn't exactly strict.[/quote] I asked him to make me a Quiche Lorraine once, bloody awful mess he presented to the ladies of Splott WI.

Sold a bass to Dave and communication was great, payment without fuss and wouldn't hesitate to do business with again - top banana.

Well if they inherited it then £650 is £650 for nothing. The info is lifted straight from somewhere else, about 3 mins work including typing "Gibson L-5 CES Archtop Jazz Guitar' into Google and choosing the top result. There are a few others out there with the angled bridge - a quick google images search shows that. No idea why it's as cheap as it is though (it's a g*itar so I don't care too much!)

Where is he based? Maybe someone can take round some scales and do an independant weigh in for you.

No way is it 7Kg - it's heavy but not THAT heavy.

The good thing about playing ska is that skanking can be a legs-only affair, leaving the top half of the body free to concentrate on playing bass!

Monkey Chapmanstick bought one recently for £250 IIRC.

I know there's official sites and forums out there too, but I found this photobucket album with a load of Japanese catalogues in it - [url="http://s227.photobucket.com/home/vintagejapanbass"]http://s227.photobucket.com/home/vintagejapanbass[/url]. ....In case your interested.

By ' a good 10lbs' I meant 'at least' I have since found [url="http://www.grouseguitars.com/sold/ibanezlhroadster.htm"]this[/url] Which says they're 5kg (11lbs) exactly.

They're a good 10 lb's - I just sold mine yesterday funnily enough.
