    I wouldn't say the neck was that unusual standard early 90s energy. The odd thing is the pickup mod that has been done. http://www.statii.com/status_cats/adverts/energy_nov_1991/energy_advert_nov_1991.jpg

    If the pup's are duncan designed rather than actual duncans, which would link in with the Lic. trem, then its a Dinky. Depending on condition price is about right. If the pup's are Duncans then the bridge should be an original Rose, both in the Soloist model of that era if that's the case its probably a good buy at that price. Best bet is play it see if you like it. The neck might be a big difference from the L59. L59's go for anywhere from 150-250 depending on condition/colour/upgrades etc. They might do a swap if your lucky.

    http://www.ibanez.co.jp/products/page14_jp.php?cat_id=2&series_id=32&data_id=63&color=CL01#.U8VGMZRdWyo Not sure over 2 grand for a 34-35.5" fan is the best price, isn't that in afterburner territory? At least one of the big name brands is starting to embrace fan frets though.

    I like the tag line on his profile "[color=#333333]I am honest, professional and reliable.", seems like something an honest professional and reliable person would say.[/color]

    [quote name='FretNoMore' timestamp='1404306264' post='2491365'] Here's my current configuration, it will stay like this at least fir this summer's gigs. [/quote] Sorry for being either ignorant or just plain blind but what do you use for power distribution?

    Lots of issues of both Digital Photo and Olive Magazine probably 2 years worth of both at least will try and sort to get a better idea and dates to give an idea. Collection from Salford Quays or could post small numbers for postage cost.

    I should probably add that i wasn't actually questioning if its genuine or not. I just don't know enough about them and thought it was odd to have 1p starting bid with no reserve, or maybe not worth as much as i expected.

    [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Gibson-ebo-sg-bass-guitar-60s-70s-/251563903619?&_trksid=p2056016.l4276"]http://www.ebay.co.u...=p2056016.l4276[/url] Appears to be no reserve and seems a genuine enough advert. Bargain for someone maybe? I know very little about gibson basses.

    Drop to £600.

    [quote name='Clarky' timestamp='1402991069' post='2478507'] Shish kebab. Serial number 0008, Fender '52 P. I imagine BC's Rick would be up for that if he could sell a kidney .... [/quote] Did the P serials start from 0001? I know the first 100 or so Strats had serials starting 0100 in '54.

    Now £600 It is with great regret that i am having to put this up for sale/trade but my back just cant cope with it any more, even though i'm only 25, even more gutted because i just love the tone that comes from it. I have had a good scout over and the only flaws i can see are some very light scuffs (buckle rash?) on the back barely visible due to the fantastic wood figuring and the scrapes around the truss rod cover where a previous owner has obviously had difficulty removing it. Excuse the poor photos only taken on my phone in a bit of a hurry can try and get some better ones if anyone needs any. If anyone is interested you are more than welcome to come and have a look/play (based in Salford Quays). Currently has an old set of 45-130 elixirs that i have put back on but still some life left in them. Dunlop straplocks will be replace with standard strapbuttons prior to sale. I think they are warwicks version of strap locks but the bass arrived to me without the straplocking part.

    Its a fanned fret bass supposedly called SRFF 4505, don't think there is any official word from Ibanez yet. Odd if its going to happen though, would expect them to do a FF guitar first? https://twitter.com/ikebegakki/status/472341046836211712

    Cheers for the advice people. Pretty much seems the same as I told him. Gunna have to spend a lot more for something great. But thanks for the suggested options I will let him know. The budget is pretty no moveable due to him being a student and buying two 7s this year. I don't see floppyness being an issue I dropped my .145 to Ab last night on 34" and it wasn't the worst thing ever. Completely off topic but has anyone seen the image going round of the Ibanez Fanned Fret?

    Guitarist friend of mine is looking to get a 5 string to do some work on his solo project. Looking at under £200 second hand and wants to know any suggestions/what sort of things to keep an eye out for. Style is progressive metal in style of TesseracT, Periphery and Modern Day Babylon, so really wants something with a good low ended/strong B (buckers?) probably to be tuned to drop Ab. Not too familiar with 5's in this price range so any advice would be gratefully received.

    http://www.gumtree.com/p/for-sale/fender-japan-jazz-bass/1064396314#photo-content Seems very cheap to me.

    6505+ are great amps but probably seriously overpowered if he is thinking of DarkTerror. The H&K Tubemeister36 has a huge sound for something so small, plus they do have a power soak option. Best bet for metal sound is look for something with either EL84s or 34s rather than 6L6s. Few guitarists i know have tried the Laney Ironheart and really disliked the sound although they get rave reviews from some areas.
  20. Joeyfivebags
    Not available in the UK as far as i'm aware. This thing has a huge sound, its more of a heavy overdrive/distortion rather than a mild drive/fuzz. Simple one knob for level out and 3 way tone in a very sturdy housing. Just not quite the sound i need at the moment otherwise it would be staying with me. There are some youtube demos to give an idea of sounds. Few dings, will try and get some pics up later on. No box or manual etc. £50 inc postage.
  21. Joeyfivebags
    The main differences between them are the neck shape (V vs D vs C) i think and the pickups, although none of them are true reissues as up until about '65 all strats came with three way switches, i believe.
  22. Joeyfivebags
    Reserves on eBay really does annoy me, why not just put it as the starting bid? Even more confusing is i think there is a 3.5% insertion fee for having a reserve, assuming his reserve is best part of a grand (as suggested by his hundreds saving on a new custom one) that is £35 just for insertion. Fee for having a starting bid greater than £100 is £1.30. Seems a bit of a no brainier to me. Unless i've completely misunderstood their fees policy. Anyway rant over, it is a nice looking beast.
  23. Joeyfivebags
    If you can find them the Lollar lollartron's sound very good in something like a 335. They are based on the old gretsch filtertrons, but fit to a standard humbucker rout, but have a warmth to them that the Filtertrons never really had.

    [quote name='thodrik' timestamp='1394999299' post='2397636'] Yes, I haven't seen anything on the 5 string Balanced Tension sets either. I use a 145 and even that isn't close to being 'balanced', though it works well enough. [/quote] I'm assuming your using the d'addario .145, if so did you get tapered or non? Did you have any issues with fit at nut or bridge? Been contemplating going that heavy for a while but not if i'm going to have to get nut work done.
