  1. and there's always the Lakland Duck Dunn, for a high quality Fender-alike P with Jazz neck and block markers
  2. [quote name='dougal' post='936007' date='Aug 25 2010, 02:28 PM']If you want tenuous - I can do tenuous! My H&K basebass 600 was owned by a member of the prodigy, and then given to a roadie, who sold it to me.[/quote] and Keith from The Prodigy uses the same drycleaner as me which means that we must be related
  3. thats exceptionally pretty - but unfortunately no spare cash and I already have one green bass! have a bump to the top from me and I reckon this will be gone in a day!

    Donation made and glass to be raised Deepest sympathies, Clarky
  5. His bass playing in early Police was good and memorable (everyone plays Walking On The Moon, don't they, while noodling?) However the only solo album of his I liked (Dream of the Blue Turtles) featured Darryl Jones on bass!
  6. My house is empty on a Monday night* and I keep my rubber corset in the right hand drawer by my bed * thats when we practice (voted) - always ensures I am cream-crackered for work by Tuesday, bearing in mind my alarm goes off at 5.30am
  7. [quote name='Bilbo' post='934955' date='Aug 24 2010, 04:20 PM']I like her two fingers per fret technique as well (last photo where she is holding the neck of the bass). That'll cut out all those extraneous notes.[/quote] Obviously learned the technique on a DB, getting reinforcement by using two fingers per note.
  8. BassDirect have a s/h Bassix in stock Chris - in case interested [url="http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Bassix_Multitech.html"]http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_sp..._Multitech.html[/url]
  9. [quote name='farmer61' post='934647' date='Aug 24 2010, 12:14 PM']Are you quite sure...........? [/quote] Well thats the value of what I have (Alleva £2.6k, 72P £1.8k, Alembic £1.2k, CIJ P £300-ish) Its not the value of what I have traded, thats for sure
  10. [quote name='Stag' post='934561' date='Aug 24 2010, 10:55 AM']not surprising that this went at a very attractive price! One happy new owner, certainly...[/quote] It is/was a great price but, as you all know (and there was a thread about this recently), its a pretty tough market for sellers at the moment The sale is not done and dusted yet but, assuming all well, the new owner will indeed be a happy bunny as its a slick-playing, great-sounding jazz with more than a few Irish stories to tell! And the sale helps me out no end with El taxman so everybody is happy (well I'm not happy about the tax bill but you know what I mean)
  11. Neck must have ended up like a banana!
  12. Bump for those who did not spot £100 (final) price cut yesterday
  13. Hey, I (sort of) made the cover of BGM!
  14. Not including FS '75 Jazz, its between £5-6k for me I don't feel bad about it given how much Mrs C has spent on shoes and handbags
  15. [quote name='dr1' post='933602' date='Aug 23 2010, 01:18 PM']isn't great to have threads like this. showing respect and friendship to each others. cheers![/quote] Steely Dan are not as good as Level 42 and Nigel silddx smells of elderberries Fixed
  16. I need to sell this so, cutting to the chase, my [u][b]final[/b][/u] price is £1400 including delivery. Can't say fairer than that. If it doesn't sell for this I will have to store it away for a better time to sell and find the tax money elsewhere
  17. The return of my eldest from three weeks travel, ending up at Pukkelpop festival in Belgium, meant I couldn't attend. Sounds like I missed a corker - hope to make the gig in January!
  18. I am strangely drawn to you stingraypete - please post as often as possible
  19. Forgot to add - serial number is 615019 This brings up the following on the Fender serial dater project website (just to endorse the year): "Your guitar was made at the Fullerton Plant (Fender - CBS Era), USA in the Year(s): 1975"
  20. That looks beautifully put together by Jon. Congratulations! PS, mine is smaller
  21. Show off! Besides, as they say, the funk is the fingers ... Shame mine are like sausages
  22. Sounds like fun! Next you will be looking for mid-60s Precison, Barrie lol!
  23. [quote name='BurritoBass' post='932670' date='Aug 22 2010, 12:21 PM']Surely punk is about not having rules though? [/quote] Bang on! Its a Noguera burl spalted maple headless 8 string fretless at the next gig
  24. [quote name='gary mac' post='932647' date='Aug 22 2010, 11:59 AM']It's already a stunner Clarky. I still can't afford it, but almost tempted to go into debt for it. Taking my good wife out for lunch today, with the hope that after a glass or two she might see the investment potential of a decent seventies jazz and talk me into buying it .[/quote] Good luck with that Gary - make sure its a glass or two of Carlsberg Special Brew and it might do the job
