Looks like Terry Butcher is selling off his bass gear then...

[quote name='jimbaby' timestamp='1430470345' post='2761648'] Lucky you only knocked three over, did he have plenty more ? [/quote] He had more before he could continue!

Had a few deals with Paul lately and this last one couldn't have been better. I bought his TC head and BF Midget cab. Both exactly as he described and arrived very quickly in bulletproof packaging. Paul's a great guy to deal with, with loads of patience and excellent communication skills. You can't go wrong here! Thanks again Paul for a great experience and transaction. Cheers Dunc

The rehearsal studio is being renovated at the moment so we needed some mics. Bought 3 Behringer in a case with clips for £25.00. They do everything the SM58's do in the studio. Sound more than good enough to rehearse with and we can get more volume out of them before feedback too. I dont think you could abuse them as much though. Definitely not as robust.

My Mrs just looked at the T-shirt and thought it said "I'm a Basset's wife". There could be some truth in that!

I knocked over three pints of the singers Guinness. Luckily he thought it was somebody in the crowd. I cant repeat what he was shouting at the audience. He is very protective of his Guinness...

Clash band! We have no chance of looking like them but we try our best to sound like them. Formed by accident to do one gig 7 years ago! Named after the Clash tour On Parole. Only thing is some band in the States is called that too...

Been having a look on the net and it looks to be ok http://www.bass-guitar-museum.com/bass-7257-Fender-Precision-Bass-Special-USA-California-Series I thought the tuners would have at least have Fender on them? I think I had a Mex that had the small tuners and no logo. Maybe there's a few Mexican parts on these as well? The neckplate doesn't look like it's got anything on it either? Not very 'special' then...

[quote name='mcnach' timestamp='1430234187' post='2759292'] Without a doubt: A Classic 50 Fender Precision. Made in Mexico, but nothing like the standard MIM range. I bought one in October last year and I barely touch anything else since. Fantastic basses. [/quote] +1 Brilliant basses. Every bit as good as a USA. Haggle on a Squier JV too if you can, better than USA in my humble opinion...

[quote name='bartelby' timestamp='1430333069' post='2760456'] For Italian mail that's amazing! I waited for a LP for a month to come from Italy... [/quote] I waited a week for a bus in Sorrento...

How many bassists does it take... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Hartke-Bass-Rig-/181730734501?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item2a4ffef1a5 It could be about roadies though

[quote name='ahpook' timestamp='1430329950' post='2760423'] Isle of White ? Bet that's a safe UKIP seat (Sorry.....) [/quote] Point taken. Must edit!!! Av t' werk on mi spellin like...

Sent an amp from Blackburn Lancashire to the Isle of Wight yesterday. The courier (DCS) was a bit late and picked it up just before 5pm. It arrived in the Isle of White this morning and was signed for by 11.39am! Surely thats got to be some sort of record!

There's not enough photographs for my liking

Sold Scott my LM3. Hassle free deal, instant payment and great communication. Really nice guy to deal with. Deal with confidence. Cheers Scott!

[quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1430297087' post='2759878'] I just love that explosion of chisel stabs on the back ... entirely natural, utterly convincing. Incidentally, if you want to know what one of these [i][b]really [/b][/i]looks like after nearly 60 years, here's my '57: [url="http://s1128.photobucket.com/user/h4ppyjack/library/Basses%20CURRENT/Fender%20Precision%201957%20CURRENT"]http://s1128.photobu...01957%20CURRENT[/url] [/quote] If you run yours over with a combine harvester and then bury it in gravel for two and a half thousand years, it would still look better than that monstrosity! You have a very nice bass by the way...

[quote name='88reaper88' timestamp='1430245069' post='2759486'] Ask the guy for pics without the tape and get a nice close up of the headstock [/quote] What the hell have they done to the headstock! Zoom in on the image. It looks like they've painted over a pilchard! What a mess!
