I just sold Mike my Amplug headphone amp - quick payment and a real pleasure to deal with. Cheers!

I bought a Shuttle 3.0 Amp from James; great to deal with, amp just as described, and very well packed. Cheers! Mickster

Loved it - ordered vinyl version...ta for posting, urb! Also found the Babel site / delivery thingy really nice to use...

[quote name='Musky' timestamp='1346447424' post='1789485'] Are you sure about that? They were definitely advertised as coming with DiMarzios, even using the DiMarzio logo IIRC. That's not to say that perhaps earlier/later models weren't fitted with something else though. [/quote] Yeah, I was always under impression they were real DiMarzios too. Will maybe pull one to have a look for any ID marks...

Hi Paul I have a Track 4 - which is the same body / neck as the Track 2 but with double split P pups. Weight is a tad under 11lbs - it actually feels heavier because the (walnut?) body is quite small and all that weight is packed into a small, thick body. It doesn't neck dive and is actually pretty comfy played standing, but the location of the cutaways does makes it dive when played sitting down. The neck is 1 & 5/8" at the nut, so very close to a current P bass neck. Its also very thick front-to-back - even more so than a current USA P. Personally, I always really liked the neck, even though I have quite small hands. Haven't had the guard off in ages - from memory I think it was fairly clean under there. Bass is definitely long scale. Will try and post a couple of pics on here in the next day or two. You've prbly already found this but in case not: http://www.bgra.net/2004/review.php?id=2047&type=bass HTH, Mark

Bought a USA Standard Jazz from Nick. Great bass, everything as described, and a top bloke to deal with. Smooth & easy transacion. Even threw in a D-tuner for nowt. Cheers pal!

[quote name='clauster' timestamp='1341927327' post='1726321'] <snip> Worst: American Guitar Centre in Tonbridge. Rude and unhelpful, lovely stuff though. Denmark Street: not what it used to be. [/quote] I've had a good recent experience with BassWorld/AGC. I live nearby and went in there to try out some of their Laklands & Fenders. Ended up ordering a USA Precision from them, which they price matched with all the usual online retailers and setup for me with some new flats I supplied (which hadn't bought from them). The bloke in there was a little 'awkward' to talk to but was deffo more a case of geeky/nervous than being arsey... I think they changed hands a year or two ago so maybe the new owners are a little bit more on the ball. Some lovely stuff in there as you said - Alembics, Laklands, Vintage Fenders etc.
