    The nice chaps at BassBros have just listed a 78 Precision which looks like it just banged through a packet of Benson & Hedges before 8am today https://bassbros.co.uk/product/1978-fender-precision-bass-11/

    Thanks @MungoBass It's honestly the nicest profile neck I have ever played. Sadly me and 9 pound basses are not a match 😞

    Guess who? This time, sold a nice classic compressor to Arnoldas. Everything cool, as before!
  4. Clarky
    May be worth adding the weight Brian? That could seal the deal for someone. To me it looks very Peter Hook (ie cool)

    I would accept a discount to my advertised price if I get to keep the near new DR Pure Blues strings on it and swap for another older set (eg, I have some DR coated nickels 'Dragon Skins' 40-100). How does £650 plus post at cost (c.£15/20) sound? No trades, sorry

    ... and we then reversed the deal as it suited both of us. The BC circle of life, haha. All good as before!

    Been asked a couple of times about the neck profile (which - being Fender Japan - isn't a traditional 60s US profile, despite the model name!) Its 1.65 inches (42mm) wide at the nut, so its basically close to the modern P bass (1970s onward; 1.625 or 1.65 inches) in nut width rather than 1950s and 1960s style 1.75 inches (44.45mm). The blurb says its U shaped (see below) and it definitely is more of a handful than my Jazz bass depth-wise (Edit: c22mm deep in first position, see photo). The finish on the rear of the neck is not thick gloopy varnish so its easy to slide around from position to position without getting 'caught'.

    The OP has been edited to say: "Price is £3,000, collected, no trades"

    Am heartily fed up of eBay tyre kickers with 78 questions/requests who then disappear .... So to keep this in BC community, £50 price cut to £700 (plus 24 or 48 hour economy delivery at cost - £15/20 or thereabouts). PS. The DiMarzio Ultra Jazz noiseless pickups alone cost £150 a set ...
  13. Clarky
    @cetera is after a Soul Food (although I realise that doesn't help you sell as a job lot!)
  14. Clarky
    Addendum: if you are not bothered about the TI Jazz Flats, I could swap for some coated nickel rounds (DR Dragon Skin 40-100) and drop the price by £25

    Will do, am waiting on some oval mother of pearl crown neck stickers from US to make it look more like a "regular" Euro 4 (and the earlier IH edition from c.15 years ago). Plays beautifully and sounds nice and punchy. Also the blemishes are virtually invisible on the gloss black, thankfully. To all intents and purposes, anyone from a foot or two away would think its brand new/mint

    I did buy it. I paid several hundred less than the one on Andy Baxter's site after our haggling. Think Tony I is just a bit rubbish at updating Gumtree advert (it said "weeks old" when he first listed it last year, when he had not long bought it from BassDirect ... given how many adverts he has, I think he just hits refresh when an ad expires!) I had a good experience PS, mine weighs 8 pounds 2.5 ounces, so almost identical weight to Andy Baxter's (1 pound more)

    Clarky replied to Kiwi's topic in Site News

    Oh no. I used to be friends on FaceBook with her (I left FB in the pandemic and never went back) and she was always a beacon of positivity and friendiness 😞 Sending belated condolences to her husband, very sad to read this

    Actually I have enough cardboard to effect a safe parcel. Reckon its about £15-20 posted and I would charge the actual agreed amount

    The classic small footprint MB150S combo with GK carry bag. Often used by great DB players eg Charlie Haden and (I am told) many studio recordings on electric bass too. I bought this on the forum 15 months ago for an acoustic project that didn't ultimately happen, so its literally unused since I acquired it. Good condition compared with most MB150S combos (which scratch very easily). I don't currently have a strong enough box so its meet up only in a safe public space in London SW13 (Barnes, south of perma-closed Hammersmith Bridge).

      Fender Geddy, Fender CIJ P, tube preamp/DI. Already sold GK combo, a bunch of pedals and a posh PSU in a flurry of deals. Just trying to pad out my feedback thread as its only up to 15 pages 😆 Yikes

      I would've been very interested in your CIJ P, but typically a buyer has just had to pull out of buying my Competition Burgundy Vintera II Mustang due to car troubles. :angry2:

  25. Clarky
