    You have mail.

    If this is the model I think it is I can't wait to see it & to see if I can afford it.
  4. Macko1968
    holy mother of god, that is stunning!

    What's the weight like on this &, assuming there was no credit crunch, what sort of cash offer would be needed to prize it away?
  6. Macko1968
    you have a PM.

    [quote name='Clarky' post='281427' date='Sep 10 2008, 09:26 PM']upgrading stock Japanese p/ups and circuitry doesn't sound so extreme to me.[/quote] I thought the GL came with US dimarzio pick-ups in it, not Jap ones?

    Had a response from the seller, didn't answer any of my Qs about logos, stamps under the plate, CoA etc. etc.. Just said the serial number proves it's a real CS Fender.

    [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Fender-Precision-Bass_W0QQitemZ330266059121QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item330266059121&_trkparms=39%3A1%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A10%7C240%3A1318&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Fender-Precision-Bas...id=p3286.c0.m14[/url] Ignoring the space cadet price, this looks a bit odd to me. CN serial number on what appears to be a vinatge series bass, in which case I would expect an R serial number. Strap button on the back of the headstock but can't see a CS logo next to it. And that neck plate is very wonky too. I've emailed the seller.

    I've played two Elrics & they were stunning basses. How much are you looking for?
  11. Macko1968
    Yowser! How much you looking for?
  12. Macko1968
    Nice, love Subs, been trying to convince a colleague to sell me his Sub for while now. Oh & that Sadowsky is sex on a stick, good luck.

    Got to ask, what watch are you after? I'm currently wearing a Breitling Windrider Chronomat, love quality watches.

    [quote name='Josh' post='212549' date='Jun 4 2008, 03:31 PM']Isn't that purely subjective?[/quote] In the same way all opinions are, yes. The older stuff with the brass nuts, wenge necks & EMGs were consistently exceptional instruments, I just find the current range, whilst still good, lacking that little extra. If I was dropping £1k, my money would be going on an early example.

    Warwick's aren't bad basses, they just aren't as good as they used to be, but the same can be said of most manufacturers. With that budget I'd be looking for an older model with a brass nut & thru neck. I still totally rate Laklands though, a DJ5 or JO5 would be a great choice.

    [quote name='sk8' post='212099' date='Jun 3 2008, 09:16 PM']this still available?[/quote] sold on ebay t'other day I believe.

    I do like G&Ls, especially when they come with custom options; [url="http://cgi.ebay.com/New-G-L-USA-SB-2-Sea-Foam-Green-Bass-Bound-Matching-HS_W0QQitemZ310053944250QQihZ021QQcategoryZ41416QQtcZphotoQQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp1742.m153.l1262"]http://cgi.ebay.com/New-G-L-USA-SB-2-Sea-F...1742.m153.l1262[/url]

Shame.

    Ah, hadn't realised you were a BC'er, Legion! Indeed I was looking for something 100% stock, fair play to Legion who has acted like a complete gentleman & I would recommend him to anyone.

    transition era 'rays in that condition are few & far between. [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1989-Ernie-Ball-Music-Man-Stingray-Bass-Guitar_W0QQitemZ330239460005QQihZ014QQcategoryZ4713QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1989-Ernie-Ball-Musi...1QQcmdZViewItem[/url]

    But BMK isn't? You should be setting an example.
  24. Macko1968
    A whole lot of bass for the money those SUBs, the s/plates would have to go though - eughhh.
  25. Macko1968
    Must admit I'm surprised to see a moderator make such a strong criticisism of a member so publicly.
