  1. [attachment=219103:IMG_02151.JPG][attachment=219104:IMG_02161.JPG] aged strat pickguard bought last year from an american company, but barely used as I prefer white. Link to original product below. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/72-79-Fender-Stratocaster-Pearloid-Pickguard-Relic-Strat-USA-Pearl-73-74-70s-/252335956518?hash=item3ac0652226:g:azwAAOSwxp9W-ZR3 £16 posted
  2. Thomastik Flats 43-100 - SOLD The strings have not seen any use, apart from trying them out for half an hour to hear what they sounded like. They're cool but I prefer Labellas. I've had them sealed for half a month so they're in pretty much as new condition. Cut for 34" fender bass, strung through the bridge, not the body. I got them for £45 plus postage from Bass Direct, selling for £28 inc. postage
  3. Nabbed Eddie's American Special P, she's a beaut! Eddie's a real cool guy, v highly recommend. You're OK with Eddie
  4. Bought some strings off Gareth. Great comms, very accommodating, easiest guy to deal with!
  5. Sold Greg my precision tort pickguard. Very smooth transaction indeed, couldn't be better really, highly recommend!
  6. Great dark red tortoise pickguard off ebay from a small, no-brand manufacturer in the US. It's one of those faux-60s reproductions that's quite convincing. It's been lightly used for a few months, but not abused or badly scratched. There are a couple of small scratches above the upper pickup slot that I've tried to show in the pictures, and the truss rod cavity is a little worn in, but overall the guard isn't 'heavily reliced'. Selling as I prefer a black pickguard on my P' now. Regarding fittings, it's got 13 regular screw holes, as well as holes drilled for vintage tugbar + pickup covers. £2.80 postage anywhere in the UK. Enjoy the various wooden floors [attachment=200000:Mainpick1.jpg] [attachment=199995:IMG_0425.JPG] [attachment=199993:Pick1.jpg] [attachment=199996:partialpick1.jpg] [attachment=199999:Backpick.jpg]
  7. Just bought Steve's Vintage Microtubes. Needless to say, super easy hassle-free transaction, comms solid throughout, a pleasure to deal with. Bought the item for a very reasonable price with 1st class post thrown in, and having received it, it works like new. Highly recommend
  8. Dave just bought my '82 Precision. Fantastic buyer and a great guy! Comms were steady throughout, every stage was smooth and easy. Highly recommend.
  9. Just bought Flippy's Vanderkley 112. Extremely easy and pleasant transaction, sound cab for a great price!
  10. Hey Geoff, Fender screwed up it's serial numbers from the late '70s to the early '80s. A lot of S9s were used on basses from '80 to '82, I can also verify the neck heel stamp shows a 1982 manufacture.
  11. [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Price Drop - £1050[/font][/color]
  12. [size=3][color=#ff0000][b]Price Drop - £1100[/b][/color][/size] [color=#ff0000][b]Price Drop - £1050[/b][/color] 1982 all original vintage white precision bass. It's in excellent, near mint condition with only a couple of small scratches on the sides. Also included is the original box (pictured) that fender issued, pickup and bridge chrome covers, other candy + a gig bag. The bass weighs roughly 10.2lbs, the neck has a classic C profile and a B nut width. The guitars that came out of the Fullerton plant in 1982 are notorious for their great build quality and this bass is no exception. It sounds lovely, exactly like a P should, with a punchy midrange and a rich low end. The cream finish is a little fuller than my camera can capture and is akin to yellowed Olympic White. Additionally some marks on my lens make the bass look scuffed where it isn't. The bass plays well at a low action and stays in tune up and down the neck. Fender put a cardboard shim in the neck at the factory but this does not affect sound or playability. Collection from North London, or I can courier. I'm also open to part exchanging for a USA Bob Glaub Lakland, or a 70s/90s Precision.
