  1. Erm, history repeating itself ^^^. Another service station amp meet/deal!!!!!! As ever Roger was a total gent
  2. BassDirect have one for £1600 and you would expect a premium for a retailer as opposed to a private seller (due to their rates etc). So £1500 as a starting point, makes sense to me too http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Warwick_Thumb_NT5_FL.html
  3. [quote name='Rabbie' timestamp='1378660879' post='2202912'] Good on you Clarky! I know Roy: he's a very good guy. [/quote] I mentioned you to Roy (as you are an Edinburgh based BC'er) and he said he knew you veRy well too, Roberto
  4. Lodekka, aka Roy, bought my Kolstein Busetto travel bass. Very friendly guy and excellent bass player who travelled all the way from Edinburgh to view the bass. Recommended
  5. Sold to Edinburgh pro bassist (and nice chap to boot) Roy Percy (aka lodekka)
  6. [quote name='andydye' timestamp='1378634040' post='2202542'] Hurrah :-) [/quote] Indeed. These are truly wonderful basses but fall into the 'special interest' category. The buyer has played another BCer's A/E fretless and enjoyed it muchly so all ends well
  7. Bill aka Hathernman bought a set of high-quality DB strings off me which will hopefully make his EUB odyssey that much more enjoyable Oh and the whole deal was excellent as others have noted above
  8. Sold pending usual gubbins
  9. On hold for smaz, so potentially sale pending
  10. [quote name='Lowender' timestamp='1378498404' post='2201291'] Don't tell her, she'll probably never notice. If she asks; "Is this new?" Look at her incredulously (but don't over do it) and just say "no, I've had that one for years." [/quote]interesting, the missus has used exactly that line with me with regard to shoes and handbags
  11. I'm near Hammersmith, work nr Liverpool Street
  12. Yep, easier on the hands as less pressure when plucking. Downside is looser strings mean slightly higher action
  13. Bump from sunny Copenhagen!
  14. These strings are the most highly recommended on TalkBass for Baby Bass electric upright basses. So I would guess they work well for most EUBs. Very low tension but with the trademark Spirocore growl. I just preferred the Jargar soft strings that were already on the bass which I have used for a couple of years gigging on and off (I sold the bass in between times then bought it back!)
  15. I think there's one lady that sends out the strings and it can be haphazard. I have had them two days after ordering and another set a week after ordering
  16. On hold, pending a viewing next weekend
  17. Couple of sercet's pics (again, I hope its OK?) [attachment=142880:TLB1.jpg][attachment=142881:TLB2.jpg]
  18. [quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1378060134' post='2195326'] If that`s the one I played Clarky, agree wholeheartedly, a great bass and easily the best Precision I`ve ever played. [/quote] Hey Lozz it is indeed the very same bass
  19. Ah Jas, are you sure? This bass is [u]you[/u], the Lull isn't, Can't you give the Lull a bit more time to sell, after all everyone's counting cost of summer hols etc right now. FWIW, I have owned this bass, bought it from Jas and then he bought it back (I only sold the Pino as I bought a year-of-birth '63). This Pino is the equal-nicest Precision I have ever played (it matched my YOB in every way)
  20. For raffle, I will chuck in a Behringer BEQ-700 (graphic equaliser pedal http://www.behringer.com/EN/Products/BEQ700.aspx) which I bought yesterday and discovered its not what I need - so its basically brand new. Probably got some bass tuition books sitting around I could chuck in too, let me have a delve
  21. Another fretted Fender J, think this was the one pcitured on the inner sleeve of live Word of Mouth album [attachment=142686:img225.jpg]
  22. To be fair, Jaco did play fretted basses too. And he did bolt a maple Precision neck on to the 'bass of doom' body for that instructional video when he was badly on the slide (mentally). Mind you it was maple, not rosewood ... [attachment=142684:51Byw1mHjML.jpg]
