Agree Was very nervous of buyers listing 63 precisions (mint) who are in single digit post counts

Biblical is the word I would use

My eyes, my eyes ! Ugh! Sorry but I really don't like that

Well, you'd think "it's in a city, the buildings are old and poorly insulated, they leave the doors wide open - how can snow even settle?" But it does - it's like flipping Narnia there sometimes

[quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1478008098' post='3165929'] I'll reduce my post down to just the FO then [/quote] Yes absolutely

Tell him To get stuffed - if i buy something from here the first thing I do is look it over. If it looks okay and plays as well as one can expect for its age / stated condition then the sellers duty is at an end. Two months is way out of the ball park Caveat : unless police are later involved in any ownership issues

Suggest a forum search as they get talked about a lot

Take a warm coat - four feet of snow is not unusual this time of year

No not in the slightest - they live in gig bags but if the get dinged then so be it. Nice to have some genuine relic on them!

You're welcome

[quote name='DaytonaRik' timestamp='1477420029' post='3162131'] Didn't Neil Murray offer to help out with this for someone a while ago? I seem to recall a thread to which he contributed [/quote] Yes - do a furum search

I don't gig as such but if I'm off out to OM night I usually pick the precision as it totally fits in. I always take an acoustic bass and sometimes swap the relic precision out for a vintage stingray copy

You can buy jazz bodies quite cheaply on eBay - surely a Luthier can spray it up for you for less

Can the venue sort something out? Maybe they have contacts

[quote name='seashell' timestamp='1476471980' post='3154703'] I stopped off in Cleethorpes last February , en route to Scarborough. It was so bloody freezing I had to buy some extra clothing. It was also pretty deserted. I loved it. I sat in a really nice fish restaurant and had fish n chips completely on my own. [/quote] I know exactly the one you're talking about

[quote name='blue' timestamp='1476467981' post='3154662'] Thanks Geek, Nice history of the Holiday Camp. Blue [/quote] Welcome - it's important to realise how grim Britain was after the war when you read it

i love playing it, especially to a crowd. At the local church OM, they clap and cheer wildly even if youre not any good or make (to me) glaring errors. Lots of people get up and dance and it pretty much me doing that (I'm the only bass player in the village) . Bass is just totally f*(king awsome. I nearly fell over the first time I heard myself fill a room with loud precision bass; I'd do it all day if I could My idea of me-time is picking out some sheet music or tab and playing something I havent tried before.

Nate Watts has been in it. I did subscribe, but its a little expensive and I'm too busy most days to even open my post, let alone read a magazine.

[quote name='blue' timestamp='1476397640' post='3154053'] OMG, funny stuff. Finally British humour that doesn't go over my head. Blue [/quote] When I was in Rochester, NY, my guide Marie pointed out the canal. I never knew the US had canals for the same purpose we did (transportation of goods before road transport got popular). She knew this would surprise me. In much the same way, I've been racking my brains trying to think if I have ever heard of an american equivalent of the holiday camp and I cant think of one. After WW2 few people here had cars, and so the holiday camp you could reach by train in a couple of hours from pretty much anywhere was a good idea. I suspect there is no direct equivalent largely due to geography and more distributed populations in the US. It was all a bit second rate, but still better than the factory [url="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holiday_camp"]https://en.wikipedia...ki/Holiday_camp[/url]
