  1. I've also been listening a lot to Joan as Policewoman. She's released some really interesting material, great singer and multi instrumentalist
  2. Thread from the dead time...I've just heard Judee Sill for the first time and blimey, what a great artist - here on OGWT in 1973.
  3. Nice! Looking at the spalted maple version (there are more photos), I think there is one saddle per string...is that right?
  4. That is very lovely and yes, minty. Always fancied a P or a Thunderbird in this...
  5. Lovely. I had one of those Les Pauls in Honey Burst I think - a lighter version of yours. It was a really nice guitar, but I reckon you had to chose in person to make sure you got a decent maple top - they were pretty variable. Looks like you cracked it!
  6. Got two 6 strings, a Squier Fat Strat (HSS) and a PRS SE Singlecut. Both nice guitars, the PRS has a slightly wider neck which attracts, though I think I'm probably a single coil guy. Would probably chop both in for a Tele or an LP Junior (Harley Benton type, my playing isn't that great 😎).
  7. Well played and filmed Chris - we've started doing this one! Great tune, think I prefer the Jam arrangement (a Jam b side as I recall).
  8. Cheers for the heads up👍, mine is being delivered tomorrow!
  9. I'm a fan of the Thunderbird, but this is nice too...
  10. Just bought Chris's Fernandes bass, somewhat complicated by the fact that it's a rare piece and we live several hundred miles away from each other and then further complicated by both our attentions being diverted by Coronavirus! Packaging by Chris was brilliant, had some banter about life, the universe and everything. Top bloke! Cheers Rod
  11. Think you can create a new calendar under other calendars on the side bar.
  12. I also like Basschat. There are people I've bought and sold from on here without a thought as I know they are regulars and well thought of. And that's without checking feedback. I have also successfully used a retailer on a commission basis (for guitars), where you can argue that they have a wider audience and the higher price they can command largely offsets the commission.
  13. Talk Talk have been top of my list as I trawl back through goodies I missed first time around. Their last 3 albums (Spring, Eden, Laughing Stock) are all superb. The recording of the last two is vividly described by Phill Brown in his book "Are we still rolling".
  14. Sold a Thunderbird body to John. He paid very promptly (in fact early, given an agreed delay over Christmas/New Year) and has been a pleasure to deal with. Cheers John!
  15. That is a work of art. Does he build basses ..?
  16. A heavier reliced sister of mine in CAR (I think?). Bargain price too!
  17. Like that, though not my usual diet. Is it me, or is that a remarkably good quality video/film recording?
  18. Just sold my Precision to Mark - a classic rendezvous at a windswept services! Mark's a very nice fella, pleasure to deal with and would do so again. Cheers!
  19. Joanathology by Joan as Policewoman, which is a sort of "best of" chosen by Joan.
  20. Sold subject to the usual folks.
  21. Lovely looking bass there Nik!
  22. This is a Squier Fat Strat - so that's an HSS or humbucker at the bridge and single coils for the middle and neck pickups. Is's a nice playing guitar, with a flattish board and a decent range of sounds. It does that Strat honk along with the option of quite power from the humbucker. Colour is black sparkle, nice effect on the back of the neck, condition is good-ish: there are cosmetic marks and some pick scratches on the pickguard, but a chip in the paintwork on the front of the body which you can see in the last photo ONLY . This comes with a gigbag and I'll post to the UK included in the price. Thanks for looking!

  23. I have for sale a Fender Precision MIM made in 2005/6 according to a Fender serial number dating site. It is in 3 tone sunburst which looks quite fetching I have to say... It's in generally very condition with the exception of a poly chip which came off the body at the bottom near the strap button. It was glued back in some years back and hasn't been any bother since. It comes with a Fender gig bag which was originally supplied: this is quite tatty and also pretty thin - this is not a plush job! Weight is 3.7kg or 8.2lbs. I'd rather not post this but collection would be welcome and would also be open to a mutually convenient pickup location Thanks for looking! Photos (2).zip
