Molan that is a seriously good looking bass! I have never seen one of those before. I live and learn. And that Pino is a looker too Clarky. How long are you keeping a hold of this one for Jez

Never mind the sofa or bass guitars, what`s happened to the Hypno camel CK? Or was it a goat? Jez

Just in case ya don`t know, Rick is on Planet Rock digital radio on a saturday morning, 10am till 1pm along with David "Kidd" Jenson Inteceptor and Fiesty. A thousnad laughs and some decent tracks to boot! [url="http://www.planetrock.com/"]http://www.planetrock.com/[/url] Jez

I wouldn`t like to hang by the love nuts till it`s worth £5000!!! Some people shouldn`t be allowed access to the internet. Jez

[quote name='TheGreek' post='991244' date='Oct 17 2010, 04:13 PM'][b][size=3]I would compare them more to the original Volkswagon Beetles - didn't change or improve despite everybody around them building better items. Stuck with drum brakes and the engine in the boot they did not evolve. Same with Fenders - same crap electronics and wood from the 50s till the modern day, only recently decided to install active p/ups where others have used these since the 80s. Supposedly market leaders - basically selling square wheels!! Quality Control is merely a concept rather than reality! Some might argue that Fenders are like Porsche - I don't think this is the case as Porsche improved over the years. I think you may have guessed that I'm not a fan![/size]!![/b][/quote] Square wheels? Whilst I agree that they ain`t the be all and end all of bass guitars, most of the best music up to about 1975 was made with Fender bass guitars. I have owned lots of Fenders but I also own and use other makes. Can you not come up with something original as we have had loads of topics that go "Fender`s are crap, discuss". Jez

I wonder how many pieces the body is made from as I can`t see any joins It doesn`t look like a genuine Fender sticker on the headstock so mabye it`s a copy? Sorry, I mean hybird. Jez

As was said earlier, the next one! Which should be on saturday all going well with Mr Finance. A G&L L2000 tribute, sunburst with maple neck. As I will be skint after buying this, this will be the one bass. Jez

Liked Imelda on Jools tonight. The last time I watched her on the program, her bass player was playing an upright but tonight had a nice white Jazz with a rosewood board through a TE stack. Simple but effective. Jez

[quote name='Ou7shined' post='985585' date='Oct 12 2010, 12:11 PM']Isn't 300 (+ P&P) a bit too much for this?[/quote] What makes you think that? Could it be that the bass is a pile of crap with a dodgy paint job, the strap is held on with gaffa tape and worse than that, the knobs don`t match!! Jez

Thanks for the nice comments. It`s unusual for me to get a bargain as I am the worst person in the world at buying/selling basses. Some nice looking basses Geoff and KB. Up close my T1 looks pretty beaten up (reliced? No shag*ed!) but like I said, it plays really well and if you get a chance to get one cheap, go for it. Jez

Totally covers. Not intrested in doing original material at all. Jez

I was in the local Crack Converters the other week and they had a Westone Thunder 1 for £50!! It was a bit tatty cosmetically, the body and headstock was well chipped but was informed that it played ok. It was very mucky with some tarnishing on the brass bridge. I walked away and after being out the shop for 10 mins, went back and got it. Gave it a good clean, new jack socket and strings, a bit of a set up and it plays really well! The neck is in very good nick. It has a very high output for a passive bass. It`s pretty ugly but it`s got a certain charm about it. Bloody heavy though and as far as I can tell all original (apart from the control knobs which I put on) from 83. [attachment=61016:DSC01707.JPG] [attachment=61015:DSC01704.JPG] Jez

CC Music in the West end of Glasgow do the Jim Deacon models but I have never played one so I can`t comment on them. Here`s a link. [url="http://www.ccmusicshop.com/electric-bass-gid-EB.html"]http://www.ccmusicshop.com/electric-bass-gid-EB.html[/url]? Jez

[quote name='AndyTravis' post='978059' date='Oct 5 2010, 10:20 AM']due into the UK on the 19th October, would think they'll be about £550 ish, not bad.[/quote] That`s not too bad a price. Not a bad spec as well. I like it lots. Jez
