I got one of these recently - [url="http://nuxefx.com/product_detail.php?id=89"]http://nuxefx.com/pr...etail.php?id=89[/url] Great little unit, robust and with 6 hours record time. I think its a clone of the Boss RC3. Only cost £70 new. Plenty of info and sales on the net. Not sure about a mic but I cant see why one can't be used though...

Close up of plate photo looks like it says JV. My eyes aren't the best though! PJ555 [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rpGdKhk5YI8"]https://www.youtube....h?v=rpGdKhk5YI8[/url]

[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1473699442' post='3132385'] Am trying very hard to resist that one, but yes, was intrigued by that JV plate. [/quote] Intriguing indeed. I'm tempted to say it's a Frankenstein. Body off the bass in the link or similar, Jap P-J neck and a JV plate? But...

Maybe it's just a plate thats been added?

[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.

Ha! The first thing you are parting with in ages I have no use for! I'll probably start gassing for an allotment now!

[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!

Yet another deal with Paul! Great guy to deal with. Have no fear! Thanks Paul. Cheers Dunc

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

Bought a Line 6 Amplifi from Pete. Great transaction. It arrived safe and swiftly. No problems at all. Thanks again Pete. Cheers Dunc

[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!

[quote name='tommorichards' timestamp='1472466873' post='3121254'] Says on the link that the product is discontinued. May be getting rid of old stock?

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...
