  1. Lovely Japanese Precision. This has an 'E' serial so is quite an early one (84 - 87) although I don't know the exact year. All the parts are original with the exception of the tone capacator (I think I still have the original one though), and the scratchplate. I have what I believe to be the original scratchplate, although it's not much use as it's been painted black!! It has been professionally set up by Andy Viccars - including a fret dress, so it's playability is nice. There are some knocks and dinks which I have tried to photograph. The bigger ones have been coloured in so they don't look so obvious. The pickup covers are heavily scratched through heavy plectrum use although this hasn't photographed too well. There was a chip in the back of the neck - near the headstock, but this has been filled - again by Andy Viccars - so it can be seen but not felt. Higher res pics, or pics of anything specific available on request. Collection from Milton Keynes or could meet at a Railway Station between Euston and Birmingham New Street. As an early Japanese model, I believe this is likely to appreciate in value as it's collectability increases. It's a nice player with a deep solid sound and no obvious dead spots. The nut width is 1 & 6/8" which I believe makes it a 'B' neck. I'm only letting this go as I have one of Beedster's old precisions (74/78) and a really nice SQ squire - both Sunburst, and a Black Japanese PJ - so having four is just plain greedy!! I'm looking for £400 or would consider a trade for a 4 string warwick - but I'd have to be able to try the warwick out first. Would prefer not to post, but would at a push - don't ask me to drive for a meet up unless you'll pay the petrol
  2. I'll have it mate - when you coming to MK? Col
  3. Picked up a couple of pedals from Andy on Sunday. Good stuff, good prices, nice guy, nice coffee!!
  4. I'm not a million miles away but I've already got one and I love it! Debbie - I'm playing at The King Billy in town of Friday week if you wanna check our band (Insurrection) out - It's a biker pub - loadsa bands, good atmosphere. Col
  5. Good buy to whoever bought it. Mine is fab
  6. Where are you based and would you post? Col
  7. If Ped doesn't have it - make it mine next time ur in MK dude! Col
  8. Milton Keynes.....trade.......swap............MIJ Precision............arse.............girls...........oh feck!
  9. The compressors are pretty good - def better than a CS3
  10. Ooeer - just picked it up in "view new posts". Anyone wanna swap their 'vette for my early MIJ Precision!!
  11. Totally agree with Bubinga5 - although I have heard some say they affect the sound - they def hinder your technique if you play fingerstyle. If you do fit them, make sure you drill small pilot holes before you screw them in - otherwise you'll probably crack the finish in an UGLY way!
  12. Hi Nick, I'll take the octaver and the mirrored jazz pickguard. PM me ur address and I'll send you a cheque, ot I can do bank transfer if you send me your details, Regards Col
  13. I've tweaked the image - anyone know what it is now?
  14. My old Jack bass was awesome and is now owned by Rick Wakeman's cousin Alan ......bizarre and tenuous claim to fame!!!!!
  15. In years to come - you'll always regret it if you don't get the stingray - particularly as it's a good un! Imagine having a 1960 jazz or a 51 P. If you don't buy the ray, let me know who's selling!!
  16. I bought an Allparts Jazz neck from Peter. The price was good, and it came promptly delivered and well packaged. A pleasure to do business with. Cheers Dude!
  17. Don't forget it's quite flexible with lots of eq options
  18. [font="Century Gothic"]Here's a desk recording of my old MIJ Jazz through a [b]Behriger compressor[/b] and a [b]Marshall Guvnor Plus[/b] - so at least you can hear what one sounds like. Col[/font]
  19. I use a Guvnor Plus - cheap from crack convertors. Does it for me!
  20. Very simple but practical fixes - silly how the blatantly obvious sometimes eludes us!! Cheers guys! Col
  21. I never trust anyone who says......"trust me" :brow:
  22. Thanks Eltham.....errmmm it was a bit technical! Unfortunately, I do touch the polepieces a lot and the noise is very intrusive. I'd like to keep these pickups in (which are allegedly 77 pups although not the originals) - they sound awesome - is there an easy rewiring fix that would help? Cheers Col
  23. [quote name='Beedster' post='364477' date='Dec 27 2008, 09:39 PM']PMd Chris[/quote] Ha ha - you just couldn't help yourself could ya
  24. [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=33334"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=33334[/url] OK -so the refret is done, the trussrod issues are sorted and the cosmetic magic has been applied. When I touch the polepieces, the bass buzzes badly. I've checked the earth continuity and it's all fine, however I also noticed that the two outside polepieces on the bridge pickup also seem to be connected to earth - one at either end of the pickup - and just on the bridge pickup. Anyone got any ideas what's going on here and a possible solution? Cheers in advance, Col
