[quote name='Linus27' post='1015283' date='Nov 7 2010, 02:13 PM']Hey Clarky, whats the Pino like? Anything special or just a run of the mill Precision?[/quote] Its a 62 reissue that's been relic'd and given a faded fiesta red over desert sand gold paint job by the Custom Shop. So it is a bit of both - a Precision but a bit special in my view. I especially love the paint job - my favourite ever on a Precision. My pics make it look more red than the reality, its quite a pink red colour in reality.

[quote name='Delberthot' post='1014956' date='Nov 7 2010, 02:26 AM']I imagine that this would be an absolute beast of a bass. my second Warmoth bass had a Lollar and they are absolutely amazing. This is a great price as well. I sold my 2 tone one for £420 with no modifications plus they're not making them anymore so be prepared to see the price of these get very silly over the next couple of years[/quote] Thanks DH! The Lollar is not the stock 51 replacement, it was custom ordered by Grand Wazoo to be overwound for more beef / output. it still has that beautiful woody 51P tone though.

I bought these on eBay for my 51P but they arrived in the mail just as I decided to sell the bass. Cost me £21 including post from US (can't get them in UK, leastways I couldn't find them). £20 posted anyone? Here's the ebay link [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170553916858&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...e=STRK:MEWNX:IT[/url]

How doo and welcome to BassChat! There's quite a few of us Londoners on the site and there's a BassBash on 27th in Guildford you might want to jump on the Honda and get along to. Meet a load of us and ogle some nice gear (and play it if you ask nicely!)

After an embarrassing amount of buying and selling I have finally worked out what I want and need. Between these three basses I have passive retro/motown thump through to bright-sounding modern rock covered. 1. A lovely flatwound-wearing Fender Precision (in this case a 2005 CS Pino Palladino model which I have long coveted and recently acquired from BC'er Legion). Yes, Beedster, I have moved on my 73P back to original owner Chris Kelly so you will never speak to me again! 2. A nice maple-necked Fender Jazz [i]without [/i] binding/blocks and heavily lacquered neck (which I just don't like, as I discovered when I went down the vintage route). I now have a nice oly white 2009 MIA one (which I was the original owner of, before I sold it on a vintage quest, but have managed to buy back) 3. Ahem, sold it! Replaced with fretless Jazz which can be seen a few posts down Anyway, enough guff, here's the porn pics: [attachment=63161:DSCF2204.JPG][attachment=63163:DSCF2207.JPG][attachment=63165:DSCF2209.JPG] [attachment=63160:DSCF2205.JPG][attachment=63162:DSCF2206.JPG][attachment=63168:DSCF2213.JPG]

I bought this only a few weeks ago from Grand Wazoo who keeps his basses in minty condition. I got it thinking it might be useful in my retro band Rattlin Bone in which I play DB. In the event, although it was useful for our first rehearsal (when I had just suffered a broken hand and couldn't use the DB) I am recovering and I cannot really see me using it (I will be using DB only for Rattlin Bone from now on and I have my Fender Pino for rocking out). Plus I am thinking of upgrading my EUB from an Aria to an Eminence and so the cash would be useful! Its a 2009 (I think) 2TS Crafted in Japan '51 Precision reissue (this range has been discontinued), which GW modded by adding a custom Jason Lollar pickup (higher output than the stock 51P pickup). I paid £450 for it, and have since modded it by adding Fender chrome covers (around £25), an ebony finger rest (£9), chunky LaBella black nylon flatwound strings (50-110 IIRC; £25). I have also bought an electrosocket jack socket replacement (£12) which I haven't got around to installing as my still-healing left hand has precluded using a soldering iron (50s Ps and Telecasters have a habit of losing the jack socket and this is the standard replacement and does not interfere with the looks at all). All-in its cost me just over £520. It weighs 9.8 pounds so its certainly not a lightweight but it hardly qualifies as a heavyweight (my Alembic weighs 11 pounds by comparison). Comes in a padded Fender gig bag. Please note: that I slightly damaged the finish on this bass when I removed the covers for a potential buyer (see fifth post below with picture) as the screws coming out flaked some of the varnish . For this reason I have cut the asking price to £460 (from £499) posted 48-hour service or £450 (was £490) collected (from central London).

Chris Squire - Would he have been better as a reader?
Clarky replied to xilddx's topic in General Discussion
If he could read, Chris Squier surely wouldn't have mis-spelled his surname -
Amazing to think he played keyboards for Barclay James Harvest in the 70s. He looks so young still

Another should I leave my band thread?
Clarky replied to waynepunkdude's topic in General Discussion
[quote name='thunderbird13' post='1011932' date='Nov 4 2010, 12:26 PM']sounds like you and the drummer should split and try to find another guitarist who isnt an idiot ( might take a bit of time though )[/quote] +1 Once resentment sets in, its difficult to shake off and the fun of being in the band will never be the same -
Have to say, love the retro look of these
