[quote name='Thunderbird' timestamp='1395387732' post='2401797'] Yep avoid that like the plague with a bass costing this much the ebay fees will be a killer ....but on a positive note wow really stunning bass GLWTS [/quote] Absolutely, and as they make you link Paypal too those fee's alone would be £170! More than happy to discount those fee's to a Basschatter instead. [size=4] [/size]

[quote name='Brams77' timestamp='1395382594' post='2401769'] Wow I'm really sorry to hear that, I'm sure you put this on ebay aswell?... [/quote] No, this one hasn't been on there yet, trying to avoid that one!

[quote name='Brams77' timestamp='1395350666' post='2401552'] Holy crapppp!!!! you have some gear my boy! [/quote] Haha!!!! If only I did my friend, this one is just well needed cash to me right now!!! The irony eh? I've always wanted one yet need to pull in some cash. Selling the Strat was easy, selling this is a bummer. [size=4] [/size]

Stunning, I've never seen a Jazz Bass this light before. If only i could..... Thumbs up to the lucky guy who buys this one [size=4] [/size]

If you haven't heard of Clive Brown, you really should check out the link below for pictures of this bass. He is without a doubt the UK's best relic artist, and works on the guitars of the stars. He is world renowned and known as an authority on vintage guitars. His work is so good that it continues to fool dealers and collectors alike. Clive has indicated he refinished the paint job on the bass via a stamp impressed into the wood in the control cavity. Clive uses the word 'restore' instead of 'refinish', if you see his work up close that makes sense. Anyway, the bass..... It's a gorgeous early 1957 Precision, made just before they changed the shape. I've spoken to Clive, he said that he refinished the bass and made a new pickguard for it. The rest appears original apart from a capacitor and couple of wires in the harness. The neck is simply amazing, the tone is clean, crisp and full and the bass is seriously light, weighing under 8lbs, which is rare for ash nowadays but typical for this period. I took this on a part exchange from a friend who took a pre CBS Stratocaster from me. He's a vintage collector and had no idea it was a Clive Brown refinish until I spotted the stamp, it really is that good! I'd love to keep this bass, players 50's basses rarely come up for sale but I need to recoup the money from the Strat, which is [size=4]why I sold it in the first place. Sadly, I've got to let this one go.[/size] Comes with covers and a Gator hard case. Any questions, please feel free to PM me.

[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?

[quote name='rob_89' timestamp='1395040679' post='2397880'] Any photos please? [/quote] Sorry mate, I forgot to repost the photos'! My allowance was low for a while. Cheers

[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!

[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

[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!
