    [quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1400099938' post='2450863'] Oh goodness. I've been holding out for something with a maple neck. *sits on hands* [/quote] Um, the back of the neck is maple...... [size=4] [/size]

    [quote name='hiram.k.hackenbacker' timestamp='1400100318' post='2450866'] I don't think you need to post ANY more pictures. It looks far too tempting from that distance! I have PM'd you as well by the way. [/quote] Replied, and first in line for the Pino! (don't worry folks, I'm paid up for selling until September so I'm not side stepping any fees! [size=4] )[/size]

    [size=4][b]Sorry to be a tease, but I'm going to need to withdraw this bass for up to a couple of weeks. I'll be sure to bump it when it's back on sale![/b][/size] [size=4]I just took this beauty on a part exchange, it's a Lake Placid Blue 1959 Precision Relic, made in 2013. It was bought from Bass Gear for around £2400 a few weeks ago as a spare, but is no longer needed due to the previous owner fulfilling his GAS by getting 2 Custom Shop Precisions in [/size]Olympic[size=4] White, his fave colour on basses. I love this colour and would ideally keep it for myself as it matches my LPB Jazz Bass, however I need to get the cash back and am already in a deep love affair with my newly [/size]bought[size=4] 1955 Custom Shop Precision. [/size] This Precision is light weight at 8.60lbs, and that's with the covers on. It has a huge soulful tone with a ton of mojo. The flame on the neck is gorgeous, the pictures don't do it justice. The bass has all of the case candy and has been stored in its case since it was purchased, it even has that 'new bass' smell Barrie from Bass Gear (Molan on this site) very kindly informed me that as the warranty has yet to be registered, the new owner can do so. This bass is almost 'as new', it really is just a few weeks old. (I also took a Pino Custom Shop in the exchange, I'll list it on this website next week. First dibs welcomed!).

    This pic was taken back in 2007. I had 1956 and 1959 Champs, they sounded so lovely in stereo. I also had the matching Champ lap steel for the 1956 Champ but sold the lot, including the pedals, in around 2010 when I was preparing to buy a flat and not playing as much guitar as in my 20's.

    Looks like you're closing in then, nice one. Always good to play as many as you can and then feel like you know you've chosen one that stands out. Good luck on the search

    [quote name='ezbass' timestamp='1399203814' post='2442000'] I've got one of these, absolutely superb sounding guitars and beautifully built. I tried absolutely loads of different acoustics before settling on one of these, Martin included. Whoever buys this will be well pleased. Have a bump. [/quote] Thanks EZ, I couldn't agree more about the value for money aspect of these guitars. [size=4] [/size]

    [quote name='leftybassman392' timestamp='1399232571' post='2442315'] That's just gorgeous. I spent a long time hankering after a parlour guitar and came perilously close to buying one despite having no obvious use for it. Couldn't justify it these days as anything but a complete indulgence. Thanks for sharing. [/quote] Thanks, my pleasure. Parlours like this are sublime for fingerpicking, other parlours I have played are quite harsh sounding so are perhaps better for blues picking? This guitar always inspires.

    I sold this one back in 2009-ish. I'd had it since 1996 and played the hell out of it. Tried to buy it back last year in a sentimental moment but the guy wants to keep hold of it. Would be fun to have her back again. If you see her out there, tell her to come home! Added MM neck pickup and Precision pickup. 2 band MM preamp Stacked vol and tone for Precision pickup Active/Passive switch for MM Coil split option for MM 3 way MM pickup switch P pickup / MM pickup selector switch [attachment=161969:Stingray.jpg]

    Here's my pride and joy. Martin parlour guitar with original hard case from circa 1870. [size=4]I never could have believed that such a direct and warm tone could come from one so small. They'll bury me with this one.[/size] The bridge has been changed, as have the tuners. Still, she is nearly 150 years old! [attachment=161963:ljhf 022.jpg]
