A 1969 Precision has appeared on Facebook Marketplace, for a good price too. No affiliation. https://www.facebook.com/groups/UKBassgear/permalink/2839960266137290/?sale_post_id=2839960266137290 Rob

There are some great suggestions here, thanks all. I went to custom-lynx and ended up ordering quite a bit of stuff! Damn internet shopping! Cheers, Rob

They are exactly what I’m looking for, cheers.

Which one? 😂

My wife and I have had this conversation. I keep a spreadsheet of all my gear in our Onedrive. It has details, serial numbers, purchase price, current value and whether or not it's named on the house insurance. She's under instruction to contact Richard Henry (an old guitar dealer friend) and have him sell everything on consignment. She would get a good price for all of it with relatively little hassle. The only downside........she knows exactly what I've got, and exactly what it cost! Rob

Every IEC mains cable I have is as stiff as a board, doesn't uncoil, and lies kinked and spiraling from the amp to the socket. Where can I get some nice slinky flexible ones from? First world problems! Rob

That’s the bit I don’t get either. Maybe it was being sold by someone who it was left to after a death who doesn’t have a clue what to do with it.

Cheers for those. I’ll check ‘em out.

If it’s VAT on the total, then it goes up to £4166.40. That’s quite a hike.

So, what will the buyer end up actually paying with 24% buyers premium + VAT? Is that VAT on the buyers premium, or VAT on £2800 + 24%? Rob

My new vintage P bass arrived in Morecambe last night courtesy of @CHRISDABASS. It’s a lovely thing indeed. Only 8 lbs 9 oz with the covers off, so my back and shoulder are very happy. This has the same 41mm nut width as my ‘73, but has a fuller more rounded neck profile when compared. Quite a difference in the neck profiles in just five years of production. It’s really comfy in the hand though. It will be strung up with flats ASAP. Rob

Cheers. I’ve ordered it. Rob

I've just received a late 70's Precision from Chris. It's everything I'd hoped it would be and more. Great to deal with, lots of good comms, and our shipping arrangement was probably unique, but suffice to say I ended up collecting it very quickly after purchase from a house 2 minutes from mine. Highly recommended. Cheers, Rob

Can anyone recommend a book about vintage Fender basses? I’d like history, timelines, details of features and changes as they evolved, and lots and lots of lovely pictures. Ta, Rob

Nice bass! I doubt that case (with more pictures than the actual bass) is original to it. '71 should have a tailed logo. However.......it's purdy.

I resemble that incineration!

I think the One10 might be all you need. I bought one, loved it, use it, and it sounds great. I bought a second one, just because, and I’ve yet to use it. I was really surprised at the volume and bottom end they can provide. Rob

I recently sold my AVRI '63 Precision Bass to Kevin. Kevin is a pleasure to deal with, I received immediate payment, and he arranged the courier. Totally hassle free, lovely chap, highly recommended. Rob

ATB have a sale on. That mint 74 Jazz is reduced by £1k. Also a couple of 60’s Precisions reduced. Rob
