    You say "This is a 1969 Fender Precision Bass that is almost all original. The scratch plate is a new one and this could well be a refin" it might be worth getting a professional opinion on whether the finish is original or not as this will greatly effect the value of your bass GLWS

    Lovely bass Ian! Roger and all at Sadowsky know how to deliver great customer service. I have had various used Sados and they are always so willing to provide history details including original specs, etc Enjoy your bass

    I had this a couple of months ago What worried me was that they had a password that I did use at one stage. This site is worth a look https://blog.malwarebytes.com/cybercrime/2019/02/sextortion-bitcoin-scam-makes-unwelcome-return/ It has a link and you can find if your email has ever been hacked, which is where they get your password from you can report it to the police here https://www.actionfraud.police.uk/alert/alert-cyber-criminals-send-victims-their-own-passwords-in-new-sextortion-scam you can also check to see if the bitcoin account has been used for scamming here https://www.bitcoinabuse.com/reports/1MX8BUf7R4rE7xLoaVMyiceX8DE8D3aFQg

    Nice bass. I think, and I could be wrong, they put american pups in some of these and the more expensive tuner type indicates that yours should be American but i could be wrong something to google and research maybe enjoy

    Interesting to see he used two fullerton era american vintage reissue strats albeit swapping out the stock pups for emgs. The white one also had a neck swap but does that account for the $300000+ price difference? Probably not alone

    Very under rated basses long scale with mustang pups wots not to like?

    I was not sure if the finish, wiring and pots were original which would effect the value

    Is it made of plastic or metal?

    They are exceptionally good basses and get better the older they are are. He sells fullerton avris for £2500ish. This one is not fullerton but it may have some early components like the pots.

    Now i'm sure you could have phrased better Ped?

    Thanks Luke. I just like Leo things and tend to prefer older models. So Fender, Musicman (including early EB) and G&L.

    Hello Ped Using a dressmakers tape measure the circumference at the widest point (being the bottom of the tapered knob) it measures 7 cm. Hope this helps you Gareth

    Here are my knobs
  17. gareth
    These are radio knobs and were used on early GLs Theres a direct link via Leo to pre eb rays, the earliest of which also had radio knobs Very nice bass Ped, well done!

    Andys basses are retail prices i sold a 67 for £1200 two years ago i sense that the popularity of mustangs has increased, along with their prices since then

    Oh my goodness, how have I missed this bloke these last 50 plus years? I do remember people recommending him to me but I never got round to listening to him Just got to go thru his back catalogue and work out what CDs to buy Christy Moore Live: Come All You Dreamers: www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00zj2m1 via @bbciplayer

    I think the problem is that Steve is such a nice guy. He's been touring for years and probably regards Nad as one of the family and does not want to upset things. In truth it would be infinitely better if Nad was replaced
  21. gareth
    Yes I won't go see Steve again for this reason Nad Sylvian's awful vocals i don't understand why he uses him ive seen lots of Genesis tribute bands and many of these have vocalists infinitely better than Nad sorry Nad if you're reading this!

    If it's all working with no problems and recent valves, that's probably not a bad price. I had an svtii for a time and to my mind the v6 was SO much better
  23. gareth
    Thanks very much. I'm very old school so it's seems the fender might be just up my street i miss that v6 though, was a great amp, I got it from Dave bronze, he had two and it had the chrome rather than black plastic knobs thanks again
  24. gareth
    I still have this one that I may be putting up for sale on here

    "I had a Chinese 'Vista Series' Musicman and that was fantastic" my musicmaster?
