  4. Anyone got any thoughts on the ESP LTD F series basses. I'm due to get myself a new bass and these ones have caught my eye, i'm usually a precision kind of guy but i fancy a change Does anyone on here own one or have used one. cheers Mick.
  5. Thats why in most cases i would collect the item myself although sometimes its just not feasable to do so as you really have to shop around to find the best deal and the chances are its never on your own doorstep. I've never ordered from Thomann so i cant comment on their custormer service but all other things i've ordered have been damaged in some way (yes,every item) which is why i dont trust anything of value being delivered. I've got my eye on a couple of highway 1 basses which is nearly a grand and i just cant bring myself to have them delivered, maybe i will bite the bullet and take the risk.
  6. Got my eye on a jaguar and aerodyne bass. Played the jaguar bass today and absolutly loved it but whats the aereodyne bass like, i'm defo getting the jaguar but i could do with some info on the aerodyne. If the info comes back decent then i'll get both.
  7. I Apologise now> I did not find that clip interesting whatsoever As much as i love the bass and rics
  8. I've been reading this thread with interest and its blatantly obvious that not many people like this store, i have only ever been to london once and even then i never left the train station so i cant comment personally on their customer service but if i ever did go then i very much doubt i would even entertain the shop and all because of word of mouth from this site. At the other end of the spectrum, i recently bought a MIM Precision from Reidys Music in Blackburn, i went to the store personally which is about 30 miles away from me, i recieved a phone call from the shop while i was on the train to ask me if i needed directions to the shop, not many shops would do that, when i arrived at the shop the bass i had bought online was ready for me to try out, now im pretty new to bass playing so im no john entwhistle but i had a scream trying out the bass through a few amps and the girl (cant remember her name) said to take as long as i liked. There was also a fella in buying a tanglewood acoustic guitar and he sounded a pretty decent player but asked the fella behind the counter could he restring it for him as he couldnt do it, we had a goodl augh with the fella about that and the atmosphere was (pardon the pun) electric. All in all i would certainly buy from them again and im in the market for a new high end bass in the next few weeks sao guess which shop i will be going to.
  9. its a straight forward job really, just unscrew the 4 neck bolts and bobs yer uncle
  10. The first bass i ever played was my mates kay sg type thing, it was ugly as sin but it got him started and he now owns a very nice 80s precision. The first bass i ever owned was a peavey milestone 1, i sold it a couple of years ago to pay the leccy bill, i really liked that guitar and regret selling it but thats life i suppose.
  11. Cheers for the fast replys guys, the trip to london doesnt sound like a bad idea, its certainly worth thinking about, i'm in no rush really as i have about a month to sort it so plenty of time to look around, obviously nearer the time i will have a look in the for sale section on here (keep it in the family so to speak.lol) I'll keep you all updated. cheers, much appreciated. mick
  12. Just had a little inheritance come my way so i've decided to treat myself to a new bass in about a months time (cant wait). I already own a MIM Precision which i love to bits but im undecided whether to get an american precision or a gibson sg reissue ( i only wish i could afford both). any suggestions on other brands of basses would be most welcome, im pretty new to bass playing so a bit of info as well would be great Money wise i could go to a grand at a push and i know i can get a seriously nice bass for that so keep them suggestions coming. cheers mick
  13. Forgot to mention, the chrome vol/tone knobs are no longer on it,it has its original black plastic ones back on. it also has strings on now as well (which helps) cheers mick.
  14. I have a marlin sidewinder up for grabs, i dont use this at all so im offering it up for sale. This is an unfinished project. Needs new nut needs new saddles for locking nut could do with a new scratchplate (no big deal though) needs electrics looking at (they do work but are humming and making noise) possibly needs a new backplate as well as this has split. All in all doesnt need a great deal of work for someone who knows what their doing and its in pretty good nick for a 20 odd year old guitar, it has a few battle scars which is normal for its age. Im looking for £30 quick sale,prefer it to be picked up but depending on distance i could meet halfway
  15. My MIM Precision is called THE BIG BLUE. ( For obvious reasons)
  16. cheers for that musky, much appreciated, i'll have a fiddle around with all the setting after and see what i come up with
  17. Just bought one of these and was wondering if anyone else had any experience with them, also when were they made, i believe it was sometime in the late 80s or very early 90s. mines in very good nick considering the age and sounds great, not had a chance to fiddle about with all the eq settings yet but looking forward to doing so.
  18. As the title says, i've hardley used it, looks brand new, only selling as i've just bought the laney amp in the pic so this wont get used anymore perfect for the house as its not to loud ( but loud enough to annoy the hell out of mum and dad ). would prefer this to be picked up as im skint at the moment plus i dont trust couriers or depending on distance i could possibly meet you. It doesnt have a kettle lead as im using it for the other amp but im on the lookout for another kettle lead ( i must have one floating about the house somewhere ) so if i get one then obviously it will have a kettle lead. im in WIGAN/LANCS. Looking for around the £40 mark, or if anyone has an old hardcase for a precision bass im quite happy to do a straight swap for the amp.
  19. I agree with all of the above, i bought one off ebay last year for 20 quid ( i was just starting out and didnt know any better). I threw away the neck and kept the body, i still have the body in the wardrobe upstairs, heavy as hell and plywood, dont even go there. I just use the body for learning to spray and prepping and thats all its good for.
  20. Not usually a fan of jazz basses but that is theeeeeeeeeeeeee most gorgeous one ive ever seen, absolutely love the colour.

  23. Surprise surprise, just been on another thread on here and the bass in question is back on again so obviously he never gave it to his mate in the first place, why lie. I just dont understand somepeople BEWARE.
  24. I've just picked up a really nice ashdown after eight practice amp for the house, sounds awesome for such a small amp and i#m seriously considering getting its big brother,the five fifteen, has anyone had any experience with this amp and if so what do you reckon of it. I mainly jam with a few mates who play acoustic but every now and again one of the lads will bring is fender strat and we'll play some rock stuff. Is the five fifteen up to it or should i step up slightly and get the EB 12. cheers mick.
