    I have no idea what these are like but having seen 'Warwick', '5 string' and '£130' I thought someone may appreciate a 'Heads Up' for a possible budget entry 5. I have nothing to do with the advert, I get updates from Preloved every day and this just popped up. Item is in High Peaks, Derbyshire. http://www.preloved.co.uk/adverts/show/106265164

    [quote name='budget bassist' timestamp='1343512227' post='1751674'] Hucknall mate, funnily enough! [/quote] That makes 3 of us (so far). Have a 'local' bump on me fella!

    Bought a thumb rest off Paul. Real decent chap to buy from. Thoroughly recommended. Thanks Paul, Mark.

    I also like to see (and use) bridge and pickup covers on a Jazz. In fact, I like it so much, I decided to use Jazz covers on this: [attachment=113481:pink.JPG] I was going for the Thunderbirds/Fab1 look. It's now known as 'Penelope'.

    As stated above, this is a feeler at the moment. I will try to get some pictures posted when I get home from work. Both are pre-truss rod models. Serial numbers and features date them to 1958. The committee is registered (to me) on the Hofner Hounds web site (so was the Senator but the list has been altered for some reason). Both guitars are structurally sound but they require work to finish them off. The Senator is the 3" depth acoustic version. It has a non standard tail piece (but still contemporary) and bridge. The bridge requires fitting properly. Tuning machines are original. Neck has been re-set as the glue gave up after 35 years. Overall condition is good but not mint. The Committee is a 2 pick-up model with the large Frondose head and extensive MOP inlays. The body sides and back are Birds Eye Maple and are very pleasing on the eye. There is a lacquer crack on the heel of the neck but no damage to the neck itself. It has 1 tuner missing ( a stop-gap non-standard tuner was fitted but it needs changing) the other 5 are original, the tail piece, pickups (I believe they are Wilkinson and require fitting properly) and bridge are all non-original. The control/switch panel is a brand new copy. Ideally, I would like to swap/trade these for a decent bass rig. Looking for 300W (or more) head, 1x15 and 4x10 cabs. Sorry, no Behringer type gear, thinking more along the lines of Ashdown/Hartke type stuff. If I had to sell these I would be looking for £700 for the pair (£275 Senator and £425 Committee). I am definitely flexible and would consider PX/Swap/Cash combination for the right rig. Anybody interested? Thanks for looking. Pictures later.

    Nice one Ash. Always a pleasure to see someone getting a positive result from the 'Bay'

    I bought a VM Jazz from Andertons using the 0% finance option. Absolutely no problems setting up the agreement on line (worryingly easy, no wonder folks get into financial difficulty). You have to spend over £300 pounds to use it and place a minimum 10% of the total cost as a deposit. You have the option of increasing the deposit to reduce the monthly payments.

    I have had a quick look (work beckons) but cannot see this posted anywhere on the forum so apologies if it's a repeat. Peter Hook launches a new music degree at the University of Central Lancashire. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/education-18579791 Chairleg.

    http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/271003344261?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649 It is clearly listed as a Fender. and can anyone tell me what MPN stands for in the item description box? If it stands for 'Manufacturers Part Number', then this precision has a serial number with a 'T; prefix which I understand is a 'Tribute' model. I am assuming that if it isn't the real thing then they probably don't know as they have invited prospective bidders to go and have a look at it.

    £210 delivered? Bargain! Looks a really nice bass.
  15. Chairleg
    Just had a look on the BBC2 web site. Is it the Elton John V's Pnau thing?
  16. Chairleg
    I bought a scratch guard off Richard. From payment to it being delivered took 2 days. Excellent! Top chap to deal with so buy or sell with confidence. Thanks Richard. All the best, Mark.
  17. Chairleg
    That was well worth saving. Looks lovely. Will you be putting more pics up when you get it back? Regards, Mark.

    Feedback from Jahfish: 'No probs and glad you are enjoying the bass '. I have also bought three other basses from BC members (OLP MM an Ibanez JetKing and a Squier Precision) but for some reason I have received no feedback from them. All sales were polite and hassle free and the asking price was paid.

    As this item keeps resurfacing.......I bought this last March so unfortunately it is no longer available.
  21. Chairleg
    Another happy owner here. Well worth the money.

    IT HAS ARISEN! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/bass-electric-guitar-/300701886490?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item46033aa81a Non payer? Or did the schilling backfire? Pretty sure this finished last week around £60 ish.
  23. Chairleg
    Obviously careless use of the compression pedal.

    Took a trip to Leicester to have a look at Waynes SGC. First time I have seen one of these basses and I must say I was impressed with it. Very nice person to do business with and a pleasure to meet with yet another decent BC'r. Thanks Wayne.

    Just bought Steves Jet King. Really nice chap to do business with and a pleasure to meet him. Thanks Steve,
