  1. [quote name='lownote12' timestamp='1395306302' post='2400830'] is this still for sale and will you post it? [/quote] Hi, A friend just borrowed it! Where are you and when do you need it by? Thanks, Daniel p.s. please reply via PM, thanks.
  2. [quote name='Andy O'Neil' timestamp='1394734034' post='2394615'] Hey guys, Well I finally got around to putting some flats on my old '75 P Bass! After playing around for a bit I've discovered that although i LOVE the tone from these things, i feel like the slightly extra bit of tension is going to make my RSI flare up again.. Originally I was tossing up between the Thomastic-Infeld flats (JF-344's i think where the ones) and the La Bella's.. I ended up not going for the TI's as i kept reading the tension was "weird".. BUT now i'm thinking that may suit me better! So, to the point, just putting it out there if anyone has a new-ish set of the TI JF344 jazz flats that they'd be interested in swapping for an essentialy brand new set of La bella deep talking flats? With extra cash/whatever, happy to discuss! Cheers Andy. [/quote] Hi, are these still up for a swap for TI's?

  4. Perhaps the decal was on a strip that Leo used as bookmark for his Burt Weedon's Play in a Day? That'll be worth a couple of extra pounds perhaps? I'll drop Richard a line and explain again that eBay is for the prospective buyer to bid on only [size=4] [/size]
  5. Hey Tim, Yup, definitely a great bass from a great period. It looks like your 68 is the last of the old style necks too, before they went for the more common B shape with larger TV logo - which was around '68, so you got one of the last ones! You can just tell sometimes in pictures which ones the stunners are, that surely must be one of them. Tasty tuners, and the nitro cracking looks very sweet. So glad you finally got sorted! Take care matey
  6. [quote name='karlfer' timestamp='1394794069' post='2395254'] Thought I had hallucinated this last night. Somebody buy my Sadowsky so I can relieve Mr. Wailer of this [/quote] Haha! No, you're not hallucinating. There was an issue with the other advert but all has been put right now so you can continue to lust! Fingers crossed for you that the Sadowsky sells. Cheers!
  7. [quote name='Paul_1991' timestamp='1394792657' post='2395235'] That is a superb example Daniel, GLWTS. Hope you are still enjoying the Modulus. Regards mate, Paul [/quote] Hi Paul, Hope you're well. Yes, absolutely loving the Flea Bass, so much fun to play and sounds delicious! Certainly a keeper. Take care pal, Daniel
  8. [b]Now £1500 No trades please.[/b] Up for sale is my Custom Shop, NOS, 1955 Precision. It's made in 2005 and has an ash body, quarter sawn maple neck and a maple fingerboard. It's a great player, sounds deep, crisp and full and weighs in at a shade over 9lbs without the covers and 9.40lbs with the covers. These 55's have body contours, so they are lighter, and in my opinion, more comfortable then the earlier slab styles. [s]It had flats on it but now has roundwounds. I can reinstall the flats if you prefer, the sound with flats was amazing to my ears, but then I am biased towards them. [/s]EDIT: I've put the flats back on, just sounds sooo good!!! This bass seriously fills up the room, the sound is so full, yet every note has presence and punch. These old style P Basses with the ash body and maple fingerboard combination really do make for a big big sound that's perfect for filling up space with warmth and depth, I love them and am lucky enough to have another 1955 Custom Shop Precision which I am keeping. I have no doubt that this one sounds much better than my Ltd Ed one I am keeping, and that's worth at least a grand more. I'm keeping the Ltd Ed though as it is super light at 7.5lbs, that's very rare indeed for a Fender. I'm based in Harrow, postage is also an option. Cheers!

  9. Yeah it's legit. Richard Henry is a decent bloke and long time vintage dealer to likes of Johnny Marr and Charlatans etc. If you check out his twitter you'll see he's a well linked up guy. He's also got it on Andy Baxters website as a commission sale. Now where did I leave that 5k.....
  10. Well, definitely a period when Fender were using up old stock any way they could, some of these late 60's ones even have old orange and green amplifier cloth wire so perhaps they were using up Ash bodies as blonde was less popular, or because the Tele basses that came out then were blonde? Anything goes back then!
  11. My two cents... Fender mostly only used Ash for Blonde finishes back then, which were always Ash. Is the bass refinished? The paint wear looks like it could be, if it is, then maybe it was Ash as it sure does look like it against other Fenders I've seen from that period.

  13. [quote name='dannybuoy' timestamp='1394558161' post='2392686'] Never seen a JV like this with a factory gold guard and without a small Squier logo, I thought they were all like this: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/193935-fs-fender-logoed-jv-precision-bass-57ri-1982-l1099-woooop/"]http://basschat.co.u...2-l1099-woooop/[/url] By the way, not trying to imply yours is not legit as I'm no expert, but someone who is will be bound to chime in sooner or later!

  20. Meant to say £40 posted. Price includes first class signed for post. I bought this pickup a while back to put into my 1966 Precision as I wanted something hotter and more punchy, like my JV Precision. This is a great pickup, so good that it was too close to my original 1963 Fender pickup I had been using. I had to try other pickups to find that slightly different sound I was looking for, which ended up being a Bare Knuckle 58 Precision pickup. Makes sense really, as the later 50's pickups are different to the 60's, which the SPB-2 is modeled on and the JV is based on a 57 P Bass, doh!!!! So these really do sound like what they say they do, a proper vintage 60's Fender pickup with a little bit more of everything and without sounding too modern. I've been keeping hold of it in case I ever got a cheaper P Bass to put it in, but I doubt that's going to happen so it's up for grabs. It's literally had less than one hour use, comes with the box, instructions and screws.

  21. [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1393539210' post='2381785'] Nice. The sunburst was very different then compared with more modern basses, I think. [/quote] Cheers, the colour does vibe. The sunburst Fender sprayed from 1966 and used up to 1968 has a more yellow effect than usual. You're certainly right about the differences too.
