  1. [quote name='Nicko' timestamp='1480932520' post='3188061'] IMO they are obliged to honour the price at which it was advertised and ordered, and if they fail to do so you could threaten them with Trading Standards, BUT if this is an honest mistake on their part (which it would appear to be) morally I don't think you can insist on them honouring it, especially as you were made aware of the error before placing the order. It depends on whether you are the type of guy that hands back the extra tenner that someone gave you in your change by mistake. [/quote] Sorry no, basic sog act law Price shown, unless and until you actually hand them money AND they accept it, is an invitation to treat - see boots v royal pharmaceutical society -modern equivalent is payment by card over phone or clicking buy now and paying
  2. Because, as equinox put it in their documentary, the electric guitar can move the spirit. Bass merely moves their bowels; which do you think the audience find preferable ?
  3. thats quite the accolade. Ive OM-night played a squier M jazz and everyone was impressed. No one asked where my fender was
  4. You should be able to get a decent jap fender for that money, or a battered US
  5. [quote name='bigd1' timestamp='1481018636' post='3188934'] ? [/quote] The h looked a bit like a flat when read on an iPhones little screen
  6. I read this as "guitarists E flat"
  7. [quote name='Lord Sausage' timestamp='1480948548' post='3188284'] No I'm JTUK [/quote] No I am, and so is my wife Edit: same minute, same content hmmm

    [quote name='thegummy' timestamp='1480815676' post='3187336'] Nice man. I was initially pining for a honey blonde 50s to which I'd add a tort pickguard but it seems nigh impossible to get a guard that will fit so thinking I'll go for that black/maple Standard and get a black pickguard and replace the pickups with BKPs [/quote] Plenty of people make custom plates. Do a forum search as it comes up a lot
  9. [quote name='martthebass' timestamp='1480694830' post='3186528'] There are notes above the 12th? [/quote] Yes but you need a map
  10. Norris regularly gigs a PJ - I've had a few VMs and they have all been superb
  11. Raposa, do you have any idea what price you think acceptable?
  12. [quote name='blue' timestamp='1480543329' post='3185360'] And what type of physical condition your in also matters.If a guy is sporting a huge arse there's going to be some limitations. Blue [/quote] He said "arse" - its like he's one of us now
  13. [quote name='blue' timestamp='1480566537' post='3185452'] Apparently YouTube frowns on humping invisible bears. Blue [/quote] And if they are visible ?
  14. ok - but there is one of those here https://reverb.com/item/2787795-fender-japan-jb65-115nr-3-tone-sunburst and it has a body end adjustment.
  15. Sounds like you're just getting the wood, a plate and the tuners - I'd want the pickup too
  16. [quote name='mr zed' timestamp='1480379162' post='3183968'] Get a full cash refund. We've seen plenty of examples of stores closing in recent years and vouchers/credit being worthless. [/quote] I think PMT are fairly safe myself
  17. [quote name='karlfer' timestamp='1480157862' post='3182055'] Here'a link to a recently sold one. The differences show. http://basschat.co.uk/topic/281608-198990-fender-jazz-bass-62-reissue-mij-sold/page__p__3023548__hl__mij%2062%20jazz__fromsearch__1#entry3023548 Your body has the earthing strip which suggests 62 RI. The ONLY way to confirm this is to take the neck off. The pocket should have something like JB62 LP. Assuming it is a 62 RI, the neck should also have an extra strap button on the back of the headstock (some call this a hootenany button I believe). [/quote] Yep on both points
  18. [quote name='Twigman' timestamp='1480165383' post='3182140'] My Japanese Squier has truss rod adjustment at the heel. I didn't think any Japanese reissues had it at the headstock. [/quote] Jap 70s reissues do,
  19. [quote name='FatFingersFlynn' timestamp='1480157177' post='3182049'] Ok thanks for all your help with this so far everyone. So basically this is not all genuine MIJ should I be entitled to a full refund from PMT as I purchased under the pretences that this was a genuine MIJ 1995? What proof can I show them to back up my claim guys? [/quote] I had one too, bought from the late mr oldgit- totally agree about the logo and butt end adjustment. Mine had non original tuners so can't comment on those
  20. You can buy these from various sources, including direct from China - for the money I'd say it was good value even for the parts alone - let us know how it works out
  21. [quote name='SisterAbdullahX' timestamp='1480356852' post='3183670'] Well, I never knew that! Learn something new everyday. [/quote] He was testing blocks of perspex and one recipe batch wouldn't set - he threw those in a pile and found a few minutes later that they had stuck together - the first intended use was on the battlefield gluing wounds together to keep them clean till a proper exam could be done - when I cut my face they stuck the edges together with glue

    Slap

    [quote name='hiram.k.hackenbacker' timestamp='1480335966' post='3183406'] Ha ha. I have that Slap Bass Program on VHS! [/quote] That's so last Millenia - I have the totally up to date DVD I think in very small doses it's ok but I'm not rushing to learn it
  23. 70s position though, I'm intrigued As i said to ms. Raposa, colour me in as interested, depending on the likely price
