[quote name='Beedster' post='377081' date='Jan 11 2009, 07:56 PM']Morally, for selling your bass at the only time in the year at which I have no cash, you owe that to me Clarky [/quote]
Sorry Chris, Marcus got there first!

However, I have ordered a high mass bridge for my new 70RI (just bought from Bigwan) and so the existing bridge will become surplus to requirements in the next week - want it?

Jonthebass just bought my CIJ P-bass to which I had previously added a Badass bridge. This leaves me with a surplus Fender Japanese "spiral vintage" bridge from the 1990s. If anyone wants this and is happy to cover post cost (£1.45 I reckon) just let me know

[quote name='Musky' post='365684' date='Dec 29 2008, 06:54 PM']Islington Arts Factory opposite Holloway prison(!) is decent enough and cheap. The two rooms are small (£9 and £10 p/h respectively with all the gear bar cymbals)[/quote]
Our band uses IAF as a cheap back-up when we can't get our preferred rehearsal place - Z1 Studios nr Camden (more expensive than IAF but bigger space and better amps)

SOLD TO JONTHEBASS

Just sold my white Sid/Ramones-alike CIJ Precision to Jon. Very nice guy and also let me have a twang on his lovely white Shuker Jazz. Top bloke.

Continuing the rationalisation of my instrument collection I am selling my Stagg EDB, received as birthday pressie from Mrs Clarky in July and virtually unplayed. It sounded like a good idea at the time and I got enthused by all the rave reviews on BC. In the event, however, I simply don't have the time, what with job/family/football/band etc, to learn what is essentially a new instrument.

The last as-new one on BC went for £285 posted and I am asking £10 less (actual cost to me was c.£330)

Its in honey (see stock pic below; honey one on left), as-new nick, comes with gig bag and two spare G strings (I bought these as I read about the propensity of the supplied G to snap [it hasn't on mine])

and replied to!

[quote name='BassKS' post='375529' date='Jan 9 2009, 06:53 PM']Oh well. you walked straight into it. I was expecting MB1 or one of those jokers to come back with one of them. Good good. LOL[/quote]
It was a pre-emptive strike to avoid seeing MB1's cheeky-chappy-from-the-50s round glasses and multiple exclamation marks

* On hold, pending a viewing on Sunday afternoon *

[quote name='Beedster' post='375435' date='Jan 9 2009, 05:27 PM']I made Clarky promise that if he ever sold this it would be to me, but I have had a rather substantial outgoing of the folding stuff this week so it ain't gonna happen. I have to say that this is one of the nicest Precisions I've ever played, honest Precision tone and one of the sexiest and fastest necks you'll find. Looks great to. Clarky is also a gent to deal with

Thanks Chris, the tenner is in the post

It is a lovely bass but I cannot afford to have two Clash/Sid/Ramones-alikes!

Some new photos - wanted to make sure any possible buyer sees this is not show room condition - unlike my 2008 MIA P bass, also FS (here [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=36586"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=36586[/url] ) - and that there is some 'mojo' from its years of gigging (esp at bottom edge corner)

PS, I have the original bridge if you prefer but not the original pick-up

Bought just three months ago from Nick "Old Horse Murphy", I am selling this 2008 MIA Precision in 3TS as I prefer the slimmer neck dimensions and lighter weight of the Japanese 70 Reissues (just bought a 3TS 70RI off Bigwan). The 2008 model introduced the new high mass bridge and lightweight tuners.

Its in superb condition (see pics below), has an upgraded WD vintage celluloid tort s/p and is strung with new Labella Deep Talkin' Flats. Not a whole lot else to say, you know the score with these. Comes with the new (much-improved) Fender hard shell case.

£600 posted, £575 collected (I am nr Hammersmith, West London). No trades please as I am rationalising my collection of basses!

[quote name='waynepunkdude' post='375182' date='Jan 9 2009, 02:30 PM']F*ck you, I just prommised the missus no more basses, are you trying to get my single?

Bloody Arsenal fans [/quote]
Well Spurs are well known for blowing large amounts of cash

Having bought Prosebass' Simonon-alike, I am putting back up FS my 1990s CIJ Fender Precision 1970 RI in aged (gone creamy) white with black p'guard. I have modded it with addition of Badass II bridge, SD Quarter-Pounder pickup and its strung with TI flats. Its sounds really rock, plays like butter and looks seriously punk. Little bit of mojo but that adds to the appeal IMHO

£375 inc generic hard case and postage

If picked up and soft case, £325

Cash only as too many basses!

Or Bass Gallery in Camden (about £40 from memory for a normal set-up or £80 if fret-stoning needed)

I am now the proud owner of this beauty. Its put together fabulously, with the neatest copper shielding in the control cavity I have ever seen. Plays really well. Couldn't be happier.

Paul made the Simonon-alike white P bass for me over Christmas/NY. Its wonderfully put together (the copper shielding inside is second to none) and I am a happy bunny! Buy with confidence from this talented luthier

ATB Clarky

Just bought a CIJ P bass off da man - great comms, superbly packed and a lovely beast (the bass that is)

Many thanks, Clarky

Why kind sir, I think the honourable gentleman from the delightful seafront location of Portsmouth is trying to ask which particular electric bass guitar doth Mr Shooter covet?

Or is that vernacular from the 1850s?

[quote name='WHUFC BASS' post='374796' date='Jan 9 2009, 09:25 AM']Franco Rocco Prestia managed to lay down 16th Note basslines with his fingers effortlesly. I think its just practice.[/quote]
I do practice most days - I'm just cr@p

Bump - as new for half price

The music my punk band plays dictates that I use a pick - I find a sustained passage of 16th notes impossible with fingers. Lord knows how Steve Harris does it
