I was saving money for a Fodera when this came up and scuppered my plans!

I currently have around 16 Fenders and I love their playability and simplicity, tbh having a preamp just makes things complicated for me and a jazz or P bass does everything I need.

Couldn't agree more.

And got a gallery with your 16 Fenders? I'd love to see them!

I'd like an American made 24 fret Jazz modern player style .

Yeah I'm after another SL112 but reckon I'll have to buy new.

Ahhhh ok, got it.

I was going to place an Item Wanted advert and having browsed the first 10 pages I couldn't see one response or bump and wondered if many people get a lot of success on there.

Mad price for a vintage Jazz Bass. I'm very, very surprised this isn't sold mate.

I'm not totally sure but I think that if early issues of a De Agostini set don't sell as well as they project that they discontinue the collection before it is actually complete.

This piece is magnificent in my opinion. I love it mate.

All PMs responded.

WOW! Wonderful bass!

Honestly I can't be bothered dude. I'll stick to the classifieds section

Yeah, didn't mean to upset or offend anyone.

Oh god, wish I'd never posted this now.

But there's also a lot of people who have come out the other side of financial and family responsibilities. They are in their 50s with the mortgage paid off, the kids if they had any left home etc. Many will have taken "early" retirement or be self-employed and a lot more flexible about taking time out of work to do music.

A lot of older musicians are still young at heart or more realistically have really ever grown up and just went through a phase at preventing to be a responsible adults. I know I did.

My current band are all in their 20s except for me...

The picture on your profile rules!

I'm not knocking anyone - it was more a laugh at myself really. If you have a lot of mates who play, go to music college or live in a city with a lot of people then I reckon you've got a decent chance of putting a band together. And I suppose the internet helps nowadays - the net was only just starting when I was 16 and I lived in rural Dorset.

Nothing

Sold a Sansamp pedal to Lozz. Instant payment, great comms, great guy! Absolutely perfect transaction.

Thank you! Yeah, the bathroom was the only place I could get good lighting...If you look closely you'll see a reflection of me in a similarly beautiful vest too!

Ha yes, the beauty of those reflective surfaces!

Wow. Absolutely beautiful looking bass!
