  1. I think you've converted from Euros to Pounds in the wrong direction. €2500 equates to about £1940 CB

  3. Great song. Really enjoyed watching this! CB

  5. Love it Phil! Nicely put indeed. This really is a lovely instrument. Not so many L2s seem to appear in this condition these days - so a great opportunity for someone to own a piece of history. CB
  6. Lovely bass GLWTS [quote name='philw' timestamp='1405199241' post='2499694'] boomerang and plug-in leg-rest (far superior to the XL2's hinged thing). [/quote] Never had the slightest issue with the XL's hinged leg rest - so I'm genuinely intrigued to understand how far is far? :-) CB
  7. Bump. Still holding out for a poly finish Wal, a midnight blue 4003 or a Roland Jupiter 8. :-) CB
  8. We'll need a standard doc added to the the team I guess. Man this is becoming a big project :-) CB PS: Bump :-)
  9. I'd be interested - even with this neck - but (as per our PM) with headstock and back of neck painted and lacquered black to match the body. Together with a silver Fender Tele Bass Special" logo. Although given my name, perhaps Fender Overcaster Bass might be more appropriate :-) CB
  10. Wonder how easy it would be to find a luthier to refinish this neck in black/lacquer with a nice silver Fender Tele Bass Special logo. Hmm. I think I'm based too far North for that. CB
  11. Hi there former owner! How much was taken off which parts of the neck? Was the profile significantly altered? CB
  12. Here's an offer for you... - source a full width neck with rosewood board and tele head - have your luthier resist the urge to reshape - and have him instead paint the rear and headstock black, apply a silver logo, and then lacquer I'll give you a good price for this Duff McDirnt Cloudburst Tele Bass Special. You can even keep the tort plate and sell to someone else :-) CB
  13. I'd have taken this off your hands had it not been for the neck reshaping. Very nice. And has given me some ideas. CB
  14. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decimal_mark :-) CB
  15. Sorry. Thanks for the offer, but not my thing. I'm not that bothered about selling the XL. More interested that it flushes out something in my trade list. CB
  16. [quote name='SteveK' timestamp='1400937680' post='2458341'] ...only a P bass sounds good with new [b]and[/b] old strings. [/quote] This is waaay too much of a generalisation. :-) CB
  17. [quote name='uncle psychosis' timestamp='1400939007' post='2458354'] Don't you guys using the really, really old strings notice that the bass doesn't intonate properly anymore? I quite like the sound of old strings but after a while they just won't play in tune. [/quote] Strangely I checked the intonation on my Jazz last night. Have a look up the thread and you'll see just how old it and the strings are :-) Anyways - it is absolutely perfect - the most accurate intonation all over the neck of any of my basses. CB
  18. I love my Fender Jazz Bass with old strings. I'd need to! - since they are the same strings that have been on it since it was bought for me, new, by my dad in 1974. CB
  19. My "travel-practice" kit is finally complete - and boy does it rock! I really think this is a great "compact" practice setup for when you want to travel really light and un-bulky. All other combinations I tried have been short on sound but this really couldn't sound better. Looked for over a year to find my SFX Micro-H and I'm glad I persevered. I've removed the iPhone in order to take the photo, but you get the message. I'm a happy camper. Literally. I'd thoroughly recommend the SFX Micro-H and I assume the current H1 is just as good or better. CB
  20. Here's my one and only contribution to the Warwick thread. CB

  22. Wow. Who'd have predicted that anyone would have the wit and imagination to post a picture like this? How on earth did you manage to find such an appropriate picture so quickly? CB
  23. My dad got fed up and bought me my jazz bass as he said I wasn't able to tell the time with any kind of precision. CB
