Have just completed a totally hassle free and super quick deal with Gary.

His communications were prompt and friendly, so you can trade with absolute confidence!

Thank you.

David

Alex - I have a bridge pickup from a 1978 Jazz - you have my email address! Regards, David.

I have one of these - they are excellent heads and provide typical Markbass tone and build quality.

I have also had the pleasure of trading with Will (Cameltoe) and can highly recommend him as a great guy to deal with.

Bought for a project that never happened.......!

Imported from America, this is a very nice 4 ply Tortoiseshell pickguard made from reddish brown celluloid that would look great on any Precision. It is not the more commonly found brown plastic type.

I specified it to be a medium relic finish, so it has scratches, swirls, dulled patches and darkened / stained edges.

It has been pre-drilled with the 'thumb rest' in the lower position as well as the pick up cover holes.

There is also the metal shielding plate which is cut smaller than the pickguard and will therefore not show once fitted.

Please let me know if you have any questions - thank you, David!

Gary bought my Barefaced Two10. Such an easy, hassle free and pleasant transaction - a really nice guy to deal with and great communications too.

SOLD - Can the Mods please lock this thread? Thank you!

Shipping to Belgium is possible - I will PM you.

Barefaced Two10 (4 ohm) with the silver cloth grill and padded Roqsolid cover.

i bought this from the original owner when it was a few months old and it has never left my home - so it has had light, low volume use.

It sounds superb with my Markbass TTE500 head and as it is the 4 ohm version it enables the full 500 watts output from one lightweight cabinet.

It is in great condition although it does have some of the trademark tolex peel on the back - the handle is fine though!!!

Weighs just 13kgs and measures approx 15 inches high, 24 inches wide and 13 inches deep.

Tracked shipping available if required.

More pictures on request and please ask any questions!

Karl - you are not the first person this has happened to! These 'tension' screws have a habit of working loose and escaping so it is always worth a regular check and tighten if necessary. I lost one on Custom Shop Classic and ending up getting in contact with Fender UK who were very helpful and sourced the replacement.

If you don't get any joy with them, feel free to let me know and I'll see if I still have the email trail...........but it was quite a while ago! David.

Bought a great amp from Mark which was exactly as described. A perfect transaction in every way. Very highly recommended.

Thanks "project c" that explains it a lot.
Have you heard of the Hot Rod version or is that just same bass with different name.
I thought it might be a passive version of the PJ's ?

The Hot Rod is a limited run and a very different bass - as you say, passive with a P/J set up. If GAK can supply you one new for £1049 (RRP was £2200 ish!) that would be a tempting offer!

If not, I might just happen to know where a nearly new one is available!!!

The band is still looking...

Steve bought a Fender Bass Case from me.

The whole transaction was easy, with great communications and instant payment. A total pleasure to deal with and highly recommended.

As the title says - bassist required for a young (well everybody is young to me!) 'grungy' metal band based in Cirencester, Gloucestershire.

The first gig with their new material is set for 20th May and they will be recording an album early June. There is a dep on hand though!

If you would like more details, please PM me your contact details and equipment used and I will pass these on to the band who will then contact you directly.

Thanks.

David

The case looks original to me. Fender offered 'Economy Chipboard Cases' for Mustang and Musicmaster basses in the '70s which they described as 'soft shell flannel lined'. I had a '76 Musicmaster bass with the same case. They are not very strong!

PM incoming Nick!

Hi Karl,

That looks an interesting one!

I have just dug out the Fender Frontline brochures from 2002 and 2003 and there is a '60s Jazz Bass shown but no specific mention of '62. However, it states it was only available in Sunburst, Olympic White and Black and all came with a tort pickguard. There is certainly no mention of Burgundy Mist, white pickguard and matching headstock!

I wonder if it was a special run? It certainly looks a nice find!

The South West Bash in October was a great event and I would be very happy to support a Bristol Bash in the New Year.

Fender refer to the colour as Walnut - paint code 522 in the early '70's catalogues.

Jon Shuker (Shuker Basses) finished a bass for a customer of his in this colour a little while back, so it might be worth you getting in touch with him.

Have you got his blue Lakland? lovely looking bass....
[/quote]

Hi Kevin,

No blue Lakland I'm afraid!

Instead, a 1973 Telecaster Bass (crazy amount of 'thump' with the Humbucker) and his Custom Made Ales Vychodil 5 String Precision (AVBP5) in Sunburst.

They should appear on my website soonish.....

He's a lucky man, it is a lovely bass!

Thanks Simon - he is also a very nice man! I have taken a couple of his basses he used on Corrs and Boyzone recordings in part exchange.

I thought I would post a little update on the '65 Precision that some of you enjoyed playing at the SW bash.

It has a new owner, a certain Keith Duffy long time bassist with The Corrs. Hopefully you might see him using it at the Royal Variety Show, scheduled for the TV in December.

So apologies in advance, I won't be able to bring it to the next bash!!!

I have one of these in stock at the moment so I have just measured them and they are the same size at approx 71mm wide.

I tried to upload a picture for you but it (or I !!) failed! If you wanted a close up please feel free to get in touch and I'll send you one.

David

Yes, certainly agree Indonesian combo was lighter.

Bearing in mind the amount of technology at the event on Sunday, do we spill the beans regarding our very scientific 'scales' used to confirm this fact?!?!?!

Hi Andy - the tunes on the Shuker were not at all distasteful! Glad you enjoyed playing it and liked the 'insane' colour!

Norm - read what Andy said!!!
