  1. Once upon a time I had two black Japanese '62 reissue jazzes: an '88 Fender and an '87 Squier by Fender. The only build difference I could tell was that the Fender had a mint green plate and the Squier, a white. Punted the Fender, kept the Squier. Now testing the water with a punt/swap for the Squier. Very few marks, and all tiny. Almost no fret wear. Action superlow but buzzless. Strings a wee bit tired. Board will get a clean 'n oil (but not dry now). Photos in a Hiscox Lite Flight. Many case options, from nowt to Fender reissue black/white piping tolex.

Other shots on [constructive] request. 'Worn' JVs going for £750. 'Used' CIJs £500+ So... £425 plus case option delivered seems OK for a 9+. Aye? No? All [relevant] Qs 'n views welcome. Happy hols!
  2. Cats don't let on when they are happy. Might impact on their treats...
  3. Geoff is a great guy. His stuff is always straight. Looks a good 'un.
  4. Jeepers. Like I need another cab... ...but... Jeepers! Can't resist... Shippable? PM if so
  5. I had the same setup running a coupla weeks ago. A+. If this has Balck Widow drivers, the cab is priced less than a single recone kit....
  6. Here's me gleanings from my many years of marketwatch... £250 is about right for the tolex models. There have been some sacrifice prices leading to low expectation, I think. These were never cheap - nor overpriced - new. Carpet - lower new prices, cheaper drivers, so less. £150ish rough, £200ish v. clean seems about right. Maybe +£25 for the 210, as this has emerged as a 'wanted' format. + or -, depending on distance/delivery and level of 'need' at either end. Then - factor in time spend/waste in 'any pics'/deemos/trials/comparisons/hemming and hawing/delaying/payment..... Determines 'hard' and 'soft' pricing. Bottom line has to be cost of drivers - 8ohm 200w celestion 15 is £50 min, 75w Celestion 10 £30 each min., horn £20. £100 salvage value.....
  7. Fulfilled his processor want. Paid as asked and swpped jollisome emails. Seems a decent chap. Golf is not his game...
  8. Nice, clean fan....
  9. Me for this. PMing th' noo.
  10. Stop...baiting me....
  11. I think that is the want list....
  12. Practically perfect in every way
  13. Keep driving north - little more - llittle more - OK - now east a bit - bit more - and finally get up to Edinburgh with the 18!!!
  14. To the fore!
  15. Sound City 200+ and some cash?

  17. Great, musical cabs and price is £100-150 low. You NEVER see the 210....
  18. Best store bought scone I ever had came form a bakery in Falkirk.
  19. The HLF is very nice.
  20. [quote name='waynepunkdude' post='1354202' date='Aug 28 2011, 11:38 AM']The b410he sounds better than the SVT410HE to me.[/quote] I think so, too, for the stock cabs - but try hardwiring the input and speaker loom before giving up. The wee press-in pressure fit tube into squeezer connectors are not the best single path interface. I turned a 'what's this about?' SVT115 into a 'on, yeah!' in about 5 minutes. Started with the the jack. That was SO MUCH better, I did the driver, too. And that was BETTER still. I haven't done the 410 because 4 x driver soldering and such is a bit more painstaking. And hey! the cab works fine already!
  21. [quote name='munkonthehill' post='1354193' date='Aug 28 2011, 11:29 AM']No just thinking that it reads just as awful as it would sound buddy [/quote] It works even better delivered by my American accent! Heh
