  2. Adding to Tom's comments, just sold Tony a Mesa cab. He may like the occasional wind-up on BC but don't be taken in by that as he's a very decent bloke and a pleasure to do business with. Even threw in a very generous helping of petrol money for our meet-up tonight. He's also acting as middle-man in getting my son's lefty short-scale bass to a teacher who could make good use of it with a pupil. Cheers Tony
  3. This is now en route to a teacher with a lefty pupil, care of BC'er tino

  5. [quote name='tayste_2000' post='876645' date='Jun 24 2010, 05:30 PM']No worries, like I say if you don't want to ship it I'll just buy new ones. Cheers[/quote] OK, how about I package up and post to you for 35 plus whatever it costs with a max cost to you of £45 (ie I pay any excess)- sound fair? You can pay me once I have posted, as you are a longstandong BCer, and I will let you know the total. Deal? Cheers Clarky
  6. [quote name='dave_bass5' post='876600' date='Jun 24 2010, 04:58 PM']Maybe a bit overkill but i have a guitar box lying at work you can have if it helps.[/quote] Thanks for the offer Dave. I've got a guitar box already but I was thinking that might mean exorbitant postage charges. I had best check ith PO

  8. Hi, thanks for reply. The thing is I don't have a box shaped even vaguely like this when doubled over, so to post would require some elaborate Heath Robinson type ensemble of bubble wrap. I would rather wait a few days and see if there's anyone willing to meet/collect. If not, then I will go the post route and its yours. Cheers Clarky
  9. For sale: Warwick's premium (30mm padded) Rockbag for a Thunderbird, Buzzard or Beast bass. Hard to find in UK, so cost me £65 including shipping from Thomann in Germany (here's the listing [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/rockbag_rb20603b_plus_thunderbird_bassgigbag.htm)"]http://www.thomann.de/gb/rockbag_rb20603b_...bassgigbag.htm)[/url]. Makes a Thunderbird easy to carry to practices/gigs etc, especially when compared to the mightily heavy Gibson hard case. Used once for a rehearsal, at which I decided the Thunderbird sounded great but was not for me due to narrow Jazz-type neck (the bass is now sold pending to a BC'er). Bit awkward to ship due to size/shape, so handover in London would be better. How's about £35 anyone, just over half new price for an immaculate as-new gigbag specially dsigned for your T'bird?

  10. [quote name='dannybuoy' post='875678' date='Jun 23 2010, 06:11 PM']That bass has some serious mojo, I like! But alas, cannot afford. Yet... Any chance of some sound clips?[/quote] Ahead of any reply from faceman, I know from the research I did when buying my old 3000 that this was essentially conceived as a simpler (than the 4000 series, that is) bass and was pitched against the Precision. My old 3000 sounded really quite Precision like as a result of the single coil pickup and its placement
  11. You could use that second bass as a mirror to signal to search planes
  12. My 72 Precision, easy player, very light and sounds immense [attachment=52812:fender_72P_front.jpg][attachment=52813:Fender_72P_full.jpg]

  14. The latest US standard series are - as Gareth/MM20 has said - top notch. Why not take a look at Old Horse Murphy's one in the FS forum - its a week old and priced at a decent discount to new.
  15. We are now confirmed for 9.30 onstage time. Noisy Staurday night alternative to some generally disappointing World Cup football, anyone?
  16. [quote name='Beedster' post='873092' date='Jun 20 2010, 10:47 PM']You will never want a Fender Jazz Deluxe 5-string. You need two words mate, one begins with 'F' and the other with 'P':)[/quote] Purely hypothetical mate!
  17. When I stand and play bass I can really only see the side dots on a bass neck when I look down - and so lined or unlined makes no difference to me on a fretless. I just go by the side dots. Mind you, I'm rubbish (which is why I tried to sell my Fender P f/l)
  18. Cool looking rig that man. Volume springs to mind as the other adjective!
  19. [quote name='EssentialTension' post='872856' date='Jun 20 2010, 06:46 PM']... and play nearer to the fingerboard than the bridge.[/quote] Elvis has spoken!
  20. Maybe not feasible but I think it would be helpful to buyers and sellers if there were specific sub-forums So for "Basses for sale", there could be: 4 string; 5 string; acoustic/other For "Amps & Cabs", there would be: amps; cabs; combos; rigs and so on Would really help in searching for specific bits of kit - lets say I wanted to find a 5-string Fender Deluxe Jazz, for example, the search string would currently pull up dozens of items containing Fender and Jazz and it would take a fair while to sift through to find if anything actually fitted the bill - if there was a 5-string sub-forum this could be done very quickly to the benfit of both buyer and seller
  21. Elvis' bass player, Bill Black, was an early adopter of the Fender P - he had a sunburst early/mid-50s one and these came as stock with flats on
  22. [quote name='Platypus' post='872664' date='Jun 20 2010, 03:33 PM']The Old Horse? just a guess.....[/quote] Well he has bought and sold nearly as many Epifani's as I have Fenders
  23. As I was one of those that missed out, please let on who was the lucky fella?
  24. [quote name='EssentialTension' post='872117' date='Jun 19 2010, 08:31 PM']Thanks, I bought the bass from Beedster and then had to have plastic surgery and dye my hair to match the photo. Do you like my sofa?[/quote] White velour sofas are timelessly classy
