    Keep your basses as they will always be the tool of your trade. If you are comfortable and at one with them if you sell them then its unlikely you will find something you are comfortable with for some time.... Amps, well they are always there..... Maybe use your contacts to kick start the next phase of your playing career, get into something that way maybe??

    PM'd You [quote name='loudandclear' post='895734' date='Jul 15 2010, 04:05 PM']Really Nice Precision for sale. I bought this as original but have since found out that there is some doubt about the pick up so am basing this on the pick up being non original. I therefore bought a 1979 pick up from ebay and proceeded to try and fit it . After messing up the wiring I gave up and thats where we are at. The bass buzzes when switched on but did work before I went to work on it. The only other thing changed was the jack input as the last was looking a bit iffy. So what you have is a 1978 Precision all original except pick up and jack - It will be sold with the 1979 pick up so with a bit of attention to the wiring and fitting the new pick up will be a really nice bass. It really is a player, the action is low, it is not heavy (10lbs by bathroom scales - really surprised at this as it feels less) looks lovely. Bearing in mind all of the above For sale @ £750 with Pick up - does not have a case but I can pack and deliver for £20 (will be very well packed) - paypal will be + fees - not looking for trades and if it doesnt sell for this I will keep it and get it sorted myself so no offers. Comments welcome Many thanks [attachment=54319:DSC01996.JPG] [attachment=54320:DSC01998.JPG] [attachment=54325:DSC02005.JPG] [attachment=54326:DSC02007.JPG][/quote]

    [quote name='MythSte' post='890916' date='Jul 9 2010, 11:02 PM']Onehandclapping, I think if your going to deal like this you need to offer a cash on collection service. Whilst I hate to be a pain in the ass I'm sure you can understand our worry when we hear someone who is new to the forum saying "Yes, please send thousands of pounds to the other side of the world and i'll get it on its way!". If you can do this then best of luck with the sale. In the mean time I would urge buyers to hold off untill we we have a reply Thankyou![/quote] ++++1

    My 1974 jazz bass has a lovely sound and tone but compared to my GB Rumour it feels a little lacking in the EQ dept!! To be honest with you, many basses will lack in EQ compared to the GB you have. I'm not sure comparing them is a good idea as they are two distinctive and very different instruments. I have just added the P Retro to my stock P bass, for more variation without loosing the traditional sounds it had already. There was the other issue of needing to get cleaner recorded signal from the bass, with a more significant eq also. I think as your bass is not stock and has a certain value albeit probably less than it would have had, had it been in original condition without the refin, you are unlikely to make any significant impact in its value by adding the retro. I would talk to John East about the functionality of the Retro with the pickups you have currently in the bass and then you can get a feel for what the retro will do for you. He's a great chap and will always fiond time to iron out peoples fears and concerns.

    Hi, I think you misunderstand, it is possible to send members on this site personal messages that go straight to your personal mailbox on the site. If someone sends you a PM by its very nature its a private mail and therefore people can communicate to discuss things like pricing or offers on kit you may be selling, or indeed their opinions if that's the case without having to post it as part of your thread. Your PM is still off Steve

    [quote name='rumour6' post='834878' date='May 11 2010, 11:31 PM']Hi all, owns up to being the lucky owner of the Angel fretless five, just took delivery at the end of last week.. it's easily the best fretless I've ever played (and that includes two Wal MkIII fives). The finish is well.. STUNNING and the mahogay back allows a real fretless growl, as it's a 34" Bernie has slightly reduced the headstock to maintain proportion and the logos are in a Dark Brown to go with the finish. I'm away 'til the start of next week but will post some pix when I get back. The bass also has Bernies' newest finish on the back of the neck... wow, silkiest fastest feel ever. Sorry need to stop drooling... pity I can't change user mane to Spitfire5... Mods?.. It's THAT good. Andy p.s. been a bit of a protracted affair as I hummed and hawed a lot before making the move..thanks to EBS_Freak for the advice at the start of the journey and especially to Bernie for the top notch support and service as usual.[/quote] Bit of a bump on this one as i am sure i'm not the only one who would like to hear this bass....any chance??

    Great drummer................

    Is it possible to show some pics of the back of the bass where the neck heel joins the body. There is a large amount of lacquer or paint/ combination which blends into the neck, can you close up on this??
