Just sold my Gibson Thunderbird to Norris. Lots of communications and very easy, pleasant transaction. Hope you give it a good airing at the next gig Norris!

Thank the lord - after a run of rubbish gigs with virtually no audience, we played the Archway Tavern in North London this evening and it was a cracker. Decent sized vocal and appreciative audience - reminded me why I started this gigging lark in the first place

In case anyone is in North London and stuck for something to do tonight
-
Very nice Jas. The Sadowsky looks lovely with the chrome cover on
-
If it feels completely smooth and there are no sticky patches wouldn't bother me Is this your black P/j Jon? Can't imagine you would have any trouble selling that one

What's the next step up...Fender Precision Bass Quality

[quote name='Deep Thought' post='877909' date='Jun 26 2010, 02:44 AM']+1 for a Shuker-not necessarily a JJ, but a Shuker Precision.[/quote] My old Shuker JJB was a cut above the 2008-10 new MIA Precisions, and I think they are lovely basses. It felt better put together, all the components and the finishing (paintwork, hand-cut s/p etc) were completely top notch, it hung and played beautifully. The flat, wide but shallow neck was also really comfortable. I only sold it as I went the vintage route with my 72 Precision - which is a wonderful bass but, in truth, no better as a playing instrument than the JJB. -
we use Zed One in Camden (225 Camden Road). Decent enough, not very cheap any more (£48 for 3 hours, after big price rise) but usually can get room at short notice

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

This is now en route to a teacher with a lefty pupil, care of BC'er tino

[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

[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
-
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

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?

Rickenbacker 3001 - Excellent condition and all original!
Clarky replied to faceman's topic in Basses For Sale
[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 -
You could use that second bass as a mirror to signal to search planes

My 72 Precision, easy player, very light and sounds immense [attachment=52812:fender_72P_front.jpg][attachment=52813:Fender_72P_full.jpg]

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.

We are now confirmed for 9.30 onstage time. Noisy Staurday night alternative to some generally disappointing World Cup football, anyone?
