My old Sabine tuner had an extra DC jack too and a little lead, i used to power my Hartke VXL off it for a nice neat mini-board

Either way he is sellig a counterfeit item, whether he knows it or not. Surely that must contravene some eBay rules?

The seller seems to have covered his back pretty well in the listing, the only thing he gives is the serial number and he even says it cost him £300 If i were you and i didn't want the bass (it sounds like you are unsure) then i'd bite the bullet and buy it, then if it isn't the bass the serial number makes it out to be file a "significantly not as described" claim on eBay. Then if he doesn't refund open a case in Paypal and then escalate it to a claim. I think you have 40 days to do this? You have to cover postage as well Even though the seller states no returns Paypal will still refund you if you have been ripped off. Thing is, does mentioning the serial count as specifying what model/year the bass is? Might be a sticking point if you do buy and return it Might also be worth getting in touch with Fender to notify them of a fake serial being sold on eBay, might add a bit of weight to a Paypal claim? Good luck with this one mate EDIT: Oh and message eBay now about your doubts (if you haven't done so already), again this might add a bit of weight to the claim and they would be less likely to side with the seller

A fishing rod holdall would also make a good EUB gigbag, fishing shops often have a few 2nd hand ones in around the £30 mark Check out the Preston Innovatons ranges, particularly the Hardcase ones as these are semi-hard style bags You can get them up to around 2m long too

[quote name='grumble' post='747402' date='Feb 16 2010, 04:14 PM']Yeah I spotted that earlier, trouble is its the start of a slippy slope. £400 for an EUB to see if I take to it slowly becomes £750 for a db which then grows to £1k after new strings and proper set up ! Only to find I cant hack it.... At the moment a quick trip to Manc land for a Stagg is probably favourite.[/quote] Whereabouts are you? I'm near Blackpool and you're welcome to have a play on my Stagg EUB to see if you like it A lot of people dismiss the Staggs but i love mine, it can do quite a good db impression It also has a line-in and headphone out so i can play along to tunes on my phone in total silence which is really handy

They've been going for nearer £400 recently. In the past year or so i've watched Corvettes go from under £300 to over £600 (for a 5 string Active Standard!). I'd happily bid up to £400 on this if i was in the market You can still buy these new for around £600, although if anyone wants one now is a good time to buy 2nd hand as Warwick are shifting production of these overseas.

Aye, the LMII was an incredibly popular head and sold bucketloads, combine that with the constant longing for bass gear that most of us have and it's not surprising that there's quite a few floating about in the FS section. I would say that for every person who sells one there are many more happy users who gig with their's week in week out and have no desire for anything "better" I love mine, it's going nowhere!

First gigging rig was a Gibson RD Artist '77 in maple through a Trace Elliot Commando 15, didn't really cut the mustard for what i wanted so i got rid. Now i'm using a Zoot (somteimes a Warwick) and Markbass LMII with a Schroeder 1212r

It says "custom made" on the headstock, that's where he got the whole custom bit from! I think it looks quite nice, lose what's left of the scratchplate and it'd be a cool bass

I'll take the neckplate if that's ok

I assume so, the Mighty Mite on my fretless was originally on a MIM Precision. The body of the fretless is off a Hohner and it doesn't look like it's been widened. I also like the pickups on the Aria, i raise the bridge unit up high on the treble side and the harmonics are really loud.

Sounded like a genuinely nice guy which makes it all the more upsetting, RIP Jimmy and condolances to his friends and family Steve

If i had my fretless here i could check for ya as i have a mighty mite neck on that and an Aria STB Jazz here, unfortunately it's at my tech's house being upgraded at the moment. If i get it back soon i'll let ya know! I replaced the pickguard recently with a generic one and only needed to do a little filing if that's any help They're really nice basses IMO, i love the neck on mine!

Mostly on songs which i've played in a few different keys from depping with different bands, Hush and Sweet Child O Mine are ones that i get confused on. I'll never forget the time i was depping for a band that played the latter in C, after the intro i came in a whole tone sharp in front of all my mates who pi$$ed themselves for the rest of the song, waiting for me to cock up again For years i got the blame for mucking up the post-chorus break on Are You Gona Go My Way, one day our drummer came up to me and said he'd listened to the CD the previous night and realised it was his fault all along

Around £100 now i think, i got mine for under £80 when they came out. I found it a bit flimsy but sounded great. Looks much better built than it actually is though

I quite like that, very pretty. I had the 6 string version with the dark cherry flame and that was nice, very well built too
