[quote name='warwickhunt' post='71593' date='Oct 9 2007, 03:08 PM']Not half as much as I will if I don't curb my spending. Testes may well be worn as winter ear muffs if I'm not careful I should point out that the reason I'm angling for a trade rather than a straight sale is that if I sell this bass I fear she'll have the funds appropriated into the kitchen modernisation pot and I'll never get my hands on it. A sale isn't out of the question though.[/quote] I really feel your pain.

[quote name='warwickhunt' post='71454' date='Oct 9 2007, 10:13 AM']Yes I have indeed made a rash purchase (again), convinced that I'd be able to convert to a 5 (again) but SWMBO has pointed out that I haven't even sold one of my amps yet (again)![/quote] I feel your pain.

I had to fight SO hard to not buy that one (if it's the same one). It is lushness in a pot.

[quote name='thedonutman' post='68753' date='Oct 2 2007, 06:00 PM']Don't mean to hijack, but where did you get the 4+1 from?[/quote] 4+1 came from Ebay. Where else?

[quote name='BeLow' post='69278' date='Oct 3 2007, 10:16 PM']This is very scary - but that might have been my bass! I sold one like it back in the early 90's to a guy who said he wanted to convert it into a 5. I regretted selling it ever since. The only thing that doesn't tally up is the head stock (which was a squire logo and the scratch plate but could easily have been replaced). I don't think I have the serial numbers though. Is the pickup original?[/quote] Logo seems to be original, I put the new scratchplate on it. The pick up is a replacement. It is very fine and "just works"

[quote name='Sean' post='68800' date='Oct 2 2007, 08:23 PM']22 ct Gold pickguard, maybe? [/quote] I posted it really late when I was VERY tired. It seemed reasonable. Like all killer recordings done at 3am, they don't look/sound quite as good in the morning! I think £350 would be fair, but on mature reflection (!) I will hold on to it.

[quote name='ped' post='68470' date='Oct 2 2007, 12:55 AM']How tight is the spacing with the Wilkinson 4+1 installed?[/quote] Spacing is 15/16mm according to my morning eyes with a tape measure. It is not tight as such, easy for fingers/pick.

Bass is a Japanese Precision. (Ser number C 016559 which to the best of my knowledge places it in 85/86) . I bought it second hand - it might be a 57 re-issue or something clever along those lines. I have no idea. I'm sure someone will tell me It plays well and feels "right". It is lighter than a light thing. I'm just not a P kinda guy. Condition is fine and dandy for a 21 year old bass. Pics looked WAY better inside my camera's tiny screen. I will get onto some better ones, but it is now bed time. It has a Wilkinson 4+1 kit on it at the moment. The bridge is swapped for a new bridge and the D string tunes at the bridge after being anchored at the string retainer on the headstock. All could be returned to "normal" with a screwdriver and 10 minutes work (less with an electric one) and a new nut. £350 Want it you know you do [attachment=2574:DSCN3478.JPG] [attachment=2576:DSCN3481.JPG] [attachment=2575:DSCN3479.JPG]

If you would split then I will take the EQ

Yep, 17mm

[quote name='Dodge' post='66909' date='Sep 28 2007, 01:53 PM']Anyone want this? It's working but missing a few bits - the battery box cover is missing, the nut on one of the sockets has disappeared. It works, but the socket with the missing nut is making an intermittent connection on occasion - probably caused a dry joint on the board. It's REALLY tatty but still sounds great if you like that sort of thing. Pics here: [url="http://picasaweb.google.com/paul.stansfield"]http://picasaweb.google.com/paul.stansfield[/url] No idea what it's worth, so I'm open to offers. It's quite heavy actually, so I imagine shipping will be ~£5+[/quote] PM

[quote name='Peaty' post='66802' date='Sep 28 2007, 11:29 AM']what string spacing is the coconut cover pup for Cheers Pete[/quote] Whatever MM 5 spacing is. I think its 16mm or 17mm. I will check. It was made as a drop in for an MM5 Thanks Owen

I have spent more money than I care to admit to in public. My MTD has as good a B as anything I have owned (LAK USA, LAK Korean, Sei, MTD US). I really love it. We live in the golden age of lutherie. And I'm not talking about the top end of it here.

[quote name='BassManKev' post='56397' date='Sep 6 2007, 10:49 AM']because its pointless?[/quote] Nothing pointless about low notes. Low notes are cool. Pipe organs with 64' stops. None cooler.

[quote name='slaphappygarry' post='61289' date='Sep 16 2007, 06:18 PM']Brand new? 3rd hand but unregistered by me. Don't know about owner 1. Unregistered? See above Legit copy? Yes Sealed? Nope You don't quite have it yet man... I live in hope G[/quote]
