[quote name='Marc S' timestamp='1446805295' post='2902443'] I think I know the answer to this already, but I'm assuming it's a modern "C" shaped / profile neck? [/quote] Howdy Marc - As far as I'm aware it is yes, but I'm sure someone with far more knowledge than I will say if it's not. Thanks for the kind words. [quote name='karlfer' timestamp='1446836168' post='2902829'] Great bass. Great bloke. FABULOUS photography. Hurry up and get it bought peeps. [/quote] Thanks Karlfer, v kind & hugely appreciated. [quote name='tom1946' timestamp='1446840539' post='2902878'] Hell's teeth that's amazing! I might get myself into trouble here....... [/quote] LOL - I'd wager not in as much trouble as I'm in with Mrs Tim, hence the sale I've realised I've forgotten to add the weight - I've just ordered some decent scales so will edit the post once they arrive with the exact weight, but I must say it's seriously light compared to other P's I've had the pleasure of. Cheers all, Tim -
Hello there all, I'm selling my 2004-05 MIA Fender Precision Bass - to be fair she's way above my league & I really should thin the herd a bit so I'm letting her go. She plays FANTASTICALLY well with the perfect neck for me & a low action, plus sounds exactly as she should. Totally original & at first glance she's mint - but looking closely there are a couple of marks which are hugely exaggerated in these pictures - but I've photographed her with studio lights as they're very unforgiving so you can see her at her 'worst' here - she genuinely looks much better in the flesh. Only point to note is that there is some lacquer crazing on the back of the neck - mainly around the 12th fret which you can see in the attached pic - which is somewhat bizarre as the rest of her is in excellent condition - but is totally unnoticeable when playing. Fitted with the S1 switch & complete with OHSC & case candy as pictured. £650 firm please, with payment via cash, bank transfer or PayPal but you cover the fees, & I'm afraid I'm out of the market for trades at the moment. I'm more than happy to box up securely & courier to you for an additional £30 (UK mainland) but would ideally prefer you to come & have a noodle to make sure she's as good as I think she is before parting with any lolly. I'm just outside Kimbolton in Cambridgeshire & work from home, so am pretty flexible on timings, plus the kettle's always on . . . Many thanks Tim

Scratch plate for Fender Mike Dirnt Bass Help
TimAl replied to CyberBass's topic in Accessories and Misc
[quote name='CyberBass' timestamp='1446376616' post='2898827'] Seen this scratch plate someone's had made for there's and love it. Where can I go to get one made? [/quote] That's a lovely plate indeed, but unfortunately as much as I'd like to I only work with printed plates rather than multi-ply ones, so I'd need an original hi-res image to work with to create that kind of pattern, although I do have a Mike Dirnt template on file ;-) Cheers Tim -
[quote name='karlfer' timestamp='1445509519' post='2891960'] Oh ha de bloody ha, WRONG EDDIE ya muppet (as if you didn't know!) [/quote] Sorry mate, my bad

[quote name='karlfer' timestamp='1445506067' post='2891921'] I'm seriously considering getting a white pearl with Eddie on it, for my Sterling [/quote] Thanks for the kind words Karl - & don't hesitate to shout if you'd like a plate for your Sterling - whatever floats your boat . . .
-
Just received a PJ from Karl & to say I'm delighted is an understatement Easy peasy lemon squeezy - everything top notch, über quick & as straight-forward as a straight thing - plus as has been mentioned previously, I'd say it was under described! BUY WITH CONFIDENCE - unless you're selling a Hot Rod - then SELL WITH CONFIDENCE! Cheers Karl

The oven method definitely worked for me on an old 70s plate & it's common practice to heat - obviously not too high tho!

Precision bass pickguard posting - What do you use?
TimAl replied to Noisyjon's topic in Accessories and Misc
I post mine as mentioned above really - placed in soft plastic bag & then sandwiched between corrugated cardboard within a padded Jiffy Bag. Royal Mail Second Class Recorded delivery is around £4.00 as it's quite a big package. If Mr Postie is rough he could break any big & flat package really - but so far touch wood Touch Wood TOUCH WOOD I've never had a problem. -
Hello there sixdegrees, I make custom plates that can have any image or pattern you want on, as well as solid colours, plus I can work with your original to create a the template as I don't currently have one on file. Please see [url="http://www.originalscratchplates.com"]http://www.originalscratchplates.com[/url] for full info, & give me a shout if they appeal - 10% off for BC members too = £26.99 delivered to your door. Please 'scuse barefaced plugging . . . Cheers Tim

G'morning all, This is currently doing the rounds & made me nod my head in an extravagant way . . .

Thanks guys - seems the general consensus is to leave the colour as is - which I'm more than happy to do as it's lovely, I'm not a white plate kind of fella, so I'm having a play with different colour plates to bring the colour alive. Here's my current two favourite options: Plus if any of you use Facebook there's some further designs here: [url="https://www.facebook.com/originalscratchplates/posts/771834992900311?comment_id=772017236215420¬if_t=feed_comment"]Plate Colour Options[/url] What do you think - 'classy' or 'retro'? Again, just wondering - can anyone confirm if custom colours were originally offered, or was it just the two wood finishes? [quote name='FlatEric' timestamp='1422181890' post='2669466'] My, oh my, oh my! What a cracker!! The colour really suits it - I would leave it or better still. . . . . . . . . Sell it to me!!!!!!!! [/quote] The honest truth is that I bought it as I was curious because I've heard really good things about them, plus it just 'feels' right. However, according to Mrs TimAl apparently I already have far too many basses, ahem, so I'm happy to talk. I'm out jamming with some friends tonight so I'm going to give it a proper comparison against my early MIJ Fender P this evening to see which one I prefer, as I've now grown out of insisting that a P must be a Fender . . . LOL Thanks & Happy Monday(s). Tim
