I picked up a pup from a classic 50s model on eBay for £8 Don't discount used eBay items - you can get more for your buck sometimes

[quote name='Evil Undead' timestamp='1376941818' post='2181348'] Cheers guys. I'm sure it will be fine, but bad experiences really sit with a person... I'm sure we've all been there. Is there any way I can tell just by looking at it whether the truss rod will be all good or not? [/quote] Hold the low E string at the first and last fret and look at the gap at the 12th fret - should be about 0.5mm - 1mm - even if its more or less its likely sortable provided you can shift the truss rod nut/screw by a quarter turn or so its probably ok. Edit for corrected value

Just a thought but some cameras and phones encode their GPS location into the meta data of the images. You can show eBay that the images were taken at your house , not the registered address of the lister

Yep I've not got as far yet

[quote name='kemper162' timestamp='1376578805' post='2176367'] Huge thanks to everyone... feeling a whole lot better about it now. [/quote] I was awful for this Don't worry too much it does get better with time Maybe lessons would help ?

Thanks chaps - first thing to deal with is new strings. Ones on it are older than god

Yes it's string thru - thx for reminding me about that. Where do I get a matching black knob with button ? Any ideas people ?

No it has a proper hard case and hang tags and its def urethane

It's not got an S1 sadly - does anyone else gave an 03 that doesn't ? There is no secret button but I haven't fished the plate off yet to look there It's very fluffy sounding so I'm guessing it needs new strings

Try also www.playbassnow.com and google Scott Levine who has lots of free stuff A little theory goes a long way Asking for help is also brave so well done

I used to have a magna pro 2 - do you have pics of the cliff burton bass ?

Ill look tonight - sounds like I have bagged a good one

Yep agree

Wow-really ? Where is the switch ? It has black knobs

Early MIMs did have strat knobs I think

Any features missing that are added to later models, or added that weren't on previous ones ? Advice please Thanks

You'd be covered under parcelforce regulations if that's the case

Didnt realise it was every other weekend, thanks for that tip

10% of final value capped at £75. Also a listing fee which varies by starting price and item type. PayPal take 3.4% also Seller gets what's left

Yes that really p1553d me off . Avoid member "hollygrassby" who bids and wins and never pays. She has "textual" negative feedback only. Can't neg her.

Royal Mail is getting insanely expensive, and ebay are getting very greedy indeed. I really do think buyers are genuinely put off by even no-profit delivery costs on listings
