    Your Jazz on the OP looks gorgeous. I got two matching headstock basses, a Fender and a Modulus, pictured together with their now slightly self conscious naked headstock brother. [attachment=159897:P1060473.JPG] [attachment=159898:P1060245.JPG] [attachment=159899:P1060012.JPG]

    Time to update my entry on this topic. I finally got an ash body / maple board Precision to satisfy my woods of choice GAS. It's super light weight, about 7.5 lbs and sounds blooming huge! Introducing my Custom Shop 1955 Relic Precision, Limited Edition and apparently 1 of 35 made. [attachment=159622:P1060393.JPG]

    [quote name='dodgnofski' timestamp='1396798176' post='2417424'] Please excuse my ignorance if I'm wrong, but doesn't the '5' on the neck stamp relate to a 'Precision' model and not the actually day/date in this year of manufacture?? Lovely bass anyroadup - droooool !! GLWTS - but I don't think you'll need it type bump !! [/quote] That's right mate, the stamp shows - model/month/year/nut width (neck shape) This one is May 66 with a C neck, though the info isn't too clear on the stamp, or picture. I had another May '66 P Bass with the same issue. If anyone is interested in this bass they can email me for pics of the other '66's stamp etc to confirm it's legit. Cheers!

    [quote name='gary mac' timestamp='1396784138' post='2417228'] Same here mate, I keep playing the 75 and thinking maybe I should keep this. [/quote] If I didn't have some debts, we wouldn't even be having this conversation....our two basses should be keepers! This is nuts [size=4] [/size]

    [quote name='gary mac' timestamp='1396774333' post='2417095'] It's not easy at the moment is it Dan. Keep considering putting my 75 on Ebay but damn, those fees are high, plus there is a high numpty factor to contend with. Hope you get a sale on there. [/quote] Cheers Gary. It should be gone really, but I turned down an offer of £2800 when I was still unsure about selling it, just got to wait for the next wave which will no doubt come along. It's a great vintage bass at a realistic price so someone will be well chuffed. In all honesty, I never expect a bass over £2k to sell fast, but what usually happens is you get 2 or 3 people showing interest at once, after none have for weeks. It just happened on my Custom Shop 55 P Bass which I sold yesterday, two guys decided to pull the trigger on the same day! Only thing that bothers me is that the '66 is still in my home, teasing me constantly to keep it. I'm having to ban myself from playing it!!! [size=4] [/size]

    Very nice looking bass, great addition to your set too. And with a name like Natasha, how much sweeter can you get? [size=4] [/size] [size=4]Enjoy your lovely new P Bass![/size]

    The only bass I ever regretted selling was a '78 Sabre. The tone was outstanding and recorded beautifully. Molan is spot on about the necks though, mine was very twisted and needed a slightly higher action, but it was worth it for the tone!

    That's great, enjoy the gigs! I'm a convert to light basses with decent wood too, I recently got 7.5lb Fender with a swamp ash body, no going back now!

    I just saw a Modulus Flea sell for $4000 on eBay USA this morning, that's £2400! Ok, it had the Lane Poor pickup and the Flea logo on the head, but $4000???? I'm wondering if this is a one off or if the prices have now finally gone up due to Modulus being bankrupt? Time will tell. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Modulus-Flea-Bass-4-String-Lane-Poor-Pickups-/161259924287

    Replied to PM above, sadly no trade deal to be done as cash is prefered
  23. Chiliwailer
    Now only £1500!!!

    These covers have been aged to appear old and reliced. The pickup cover has a screw hole spacing of approx 115-117mm. Please check the spacing on your bass! The bridge cover requires two non standard screws, which are included. These screws are slightly fatter then the regular ones and have a flat head screwdriver head. Sent 'signed for' 1st class delivery. Cheers! LINK TO PICTURES - [url="https://www.dropbox.com/sh/ovlk1twlmk4ouej/QY0EkhgBrv"]https://www.dropbox....ouej/QY0EkhgBrv[/url]

[quote name='bubinga5' timestamp='1396055996' post='2409603'] WOW. i remember Marcus Mlller playing a 57 live on a vid, and it sounded so cool. [/quote] Thanks, sure sounds cool when I play it too, though that's more down to the bass than my playing!
