Do you mean the 15th of August mate?

Yep the site is down mate

Just bought a gig bag from Sid and he went through hoops so I could get it he is a real top genuine guy deal with confidence big thumbs up from me cheers mate

Saw this pop up on the bay and I know there was a basschatter looking for one but I cant think who so am posting it here on the off chance that they see it http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Warwick-streamer-signature-P-Nut-Signature-III-/331286076747?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item4d22305d4b

I bet the Spitfire geezer is loving this

[quote name='hamfist' timestamp='1407437205' post='2520586'] I like them a lot when new. Plenty of bite and presence. However, they can go dead quicker than some other strings sometimes. [/quote] Agree they sound nice when new but they go dead seriously quick and ain't exactly cheap I gave up on them a while ago (super slinkys)

[quote name='Graham' timestamp='1407593369' post='2522137'] Blimey, the Precisions are even cheaper - entry level P-bass for £60! [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/harley_benton_hbp120bk_ebass.htm"]http://www.thomann.d...120bk_ebass.htm[/url] How much do Thoman charge for shipping? [/quote]!0 euros about £7 but the pickups are crap but for £60 cheap enough to swap em

[quote name='timmo' timestamp='1407583646' post='2521998'] So how much are they worth? [/quote] Well there has been a few on here that have sold for around £550-£650 but I think £840 is pretty high for one but I am no expert

I cant recommend the Daddario EXP strings enough they are fantastic and I play metal/rock and love them and I really was not much of a Daddario fan before trying the EXP's out but I love them I am also a Huge Rotosound fan and love the sound of a set of Roto 45's on my active bass

They are great bass and perfect for modification you can make a truly awesome bass for about 200 pounds and a bass of the same kind of spec with a Fender on the headstock would cost about 5 times more obviously the bass with Fender on the headstock will be better in terms of quality but if you cant afford a Fender or whatever these are corking value for money and coming from a huge Fender fan like me that's a compliment and would like to add Thomann are a great company if you buy one and dislike it you can pay the return shipping and get your money back

I needed a small nut and washer for a project it was a silly size and I could not get one so John came to my aid and sent me one it came at supersonic speed and really helped me out John is a really great guy and a credit to the forum

Paul Just bought my Vintage P bass from he paid instantly and came in person to pick the bass up we had a good old natter and he listened to me rambling on about modified basses lol Paul is a really polite honest and trustworthy chap I would deal with him any time a lovely hassle free deal it just doesn't get any better big thumbs up from me

I bought a pedal from Ian he got it to me in good time it was in great condition and it was a nice and easy deal

So Billy has pretty much paid the best part of £160 for a guard that does not really look much better than a 10 quid crappy Chinese one from ebay that Spitfire guy must be coining it in I would would be bloody annoyed if it was me and I am surprised Paypal did not do much they are really good helping buyers normally

I would say go for a second hand P bass and upgrade it a bit could easily be done with your budget I know it is not a bit different but is dependable, or maybe something a bit vintage like a Westone or Tokai Love rock bass?

[quote name='chrismuzz' timestamp='1407261677' post='2518963'] Personally I'd never pay more than £30 for a set up since a professional can do it in no time at all. And when Andy Viccars worked his magic on my basses that's all it cost and he even threw in a neck shim, bridge realignment, and a cheeky fret dress. Made a budget Shine SB26 play better than anything I've ever had my hands on! [/quote]Thats really good but if you live somewhere where there is not really many pros you either do it yourself or pay over the odds I think £30 for that set up was amazing value
