  1. [quote name='Ashborygirl' timestamp='1473622258' post='3131768'] At one point I had 6 JV Precisions, this was back around 2004 when they were a £300 bass. At that sort of price it was a no-brainer, quality on a par with the US made instruments but way cheaper. These days they seem to be going for more than the American Standards, hell I've seen some people asking more than US reissues are going for. For me the hype now exceeds the intrinsic value & there's too much fairy dust/bullshit being sprinkled around. I've even seen people hyping later Jap Fenders as "made just after the JVs" - like that makes a difference. There are some killer JVs about but there are plenty that are instantly forgettable too - just like every Fender range. If I was after an 80s Jap P bass these days I would be getting a Tokai, every bit as good as the JVs but the prices have remained far more realistic. [/quote] +1. I got a Squier SQ P in a trade the other day thanks to BC'er Bungie and it's a great instrument. He got it from long time BC'er Will, 2x18. I'm sure both would testify to it's quality. I'm sure they are hit and miss too but I'd pay more for the right bass despite what was written on the headstock.
  2. No way! I've literally just promised to give the wife cash for shopping and the mortgage? Uh?
  3. Ha! The first thing you are parting with in ages I have no use for! I'll probably start gassing for an allotment now!
  4. Always fancied one of these. Why does GAS always happen to me? Especially when the cash flow is more of a trickle! GLWTS but I may well get back to you!
  5. [quote name='karlfer' timestamp='1473324793' post='3129017'] Very surprised this is still here Dunc GLWTS [/quote] Aye but I put it down to that most of us struggle with 4 strings never mind 6!
  6. [quote name='RhysP' timestamp='1473192084' post='3127926'] How heavy is this combo? [/quote] 72lb as I recall... But this says 78lb http://www.musiciansfriend.com/amplifiers-effects/eden-dc210xlt-2x10-metro-bass-combo-amp
  7. [quote name='uk_lefty' timestamp='1473163465' post='3127519'] Radiohead or the Doors. Maybe the clash. Red hot chillis to an extent. Hard to pick a favourite. [/quote] Defo The Clash! Still is!
  8. The best combo ever built. You don't even need to try and get a good sound. Miss mine greatly but had to go lightweight as the old bones aren't what they were! GLWTS.
  9. Yet another deal with Paul! Great guy to deal with. Have no fear! Thanks Paul. Cheers Dunc
  10. Traded basses with Neil. Great experience. Neil came over on the train and we had a pint of the finest mead and a bit of a chat at the local Wetherspoons. Great experience and always nice to meet a BC'er in the flesh. Thanks Neil. Cheers Dunc
  11. [quote name='timmchale2009' timestamp='1472926994' post='3125428'] I've popped him a little message [/quote] I'm tempted myself. I had one the same a few years back. It was a truly great bass...
  12. Is Karlfer still after a 50's P?
  13. Bought a Line 6 Amplifi from Pete. Great transaction. It arrived safe and swiftly. No problems at all. Thanks again Pete. Cheers Dunc
  14. [quote name='tommorichards' timestamp='1472681819' post='3123337'] i stand corrected. [/quote] They seem to go out of stock then start popping up for sale again? Maybe you do have to order them now? I do think that they are a bit too recent to warrant vintage prices though!
  15. [quote name='tommorichards' timestamp='1472466873' post='3121254'] Says on the link that the product is discontinued. May be getting rid of old stock?

  16. Oh come on. Sold my MK3 but got a MK2 V2 now which is the same bass apart from the logo. I cant resist them...
  17. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FENDER-PRECISION-DEE-DEE-RAMONE-SIGNATURE-LTD-EDITION-BASS-GUITAR-/222230864698?hash=item33bdfde33a:g:DK4AAOSwaB5XvF3q Out of production? - https://www.andertons.co.uk/p/0141302305/electric-basses/fender-dee-dee-ramone-p-bass-in-olympic-white Is there a special Dee Dee I don't know about?
  18. [quote name='MoJo' timestamp='1472148149' post='3118910'] Missed it.....damn! [/quote] Can't see it falling through but if it does I'll be in touch...
  19. [quote name='Paul S' timestamp='1472146318' post='3118895'] Yes please, Dunc. I'll buy it back!! Just orf out but will get in touch tomorrow. [/quote] No probs Paul. It's on hold for you!!!
  20. [quote name='itsmedunc' timestamp='1472145029' post='3118882'] Bought this as a compact backup amp on this very forum. I've never had an occasion to use it apart from trying it out and a couple of hours at home. It's loud and sounds great. They were part of the same Beta Alvin range as the Ibanez Promethean and the Redsub. I've owned both of them too and to my ears there's no difference. It's in the rehearsal room at the moment so can't get pics of the actual item it's in good condition and works well. I found a link to one that was previously for sale on here with pics and description of their opinion. Hope the OP doesn't mind. [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/222434-sold-harley-benton-ba500h-500w-class-d-amplifier-cheap/page__p__2283623__hl__harley%20benton%20amp%20__fromsearch__1#entry2283623"]http://basschat.co.u..._1#entry2283623[/url] I'll try and get actual pics up tomorrow. £115 posted to mainland UK or you could collect from BB22SH. Might be able to meet up. [/quote] Bought this as a compact backup amp on this very forum. I've never had an occasion to use it apart from trying it out and a couple of hours at home.

  21. Aye, it's a subliminal message. Just like this one - https://www.gumtree.com/p/tradesmen-labour-jobs/french-polishers-needed-in-kilburn/1182390451
  22. Would it cost £400 for a set of "quater" pounders?
