Him speak honto!

Sure - in response to your "Really?", I was simply clarifying my position that it is my opinion rather than a demand; that's all.

Ah yes, forgot to mention switch cleaner - squirty cans avalable from Maplin (also squirty cans of air, which are handy for blowing out dust & detritus).

Seems fair enough to me!

You stated "It's your opinion that the site should demand location information" and I clarified, by saying "it's my opinion that the site should require it, but it's not my demand that the site must require it.". That's OK to say, isn't it?

Yes - it's my opinion that the site should require it, but it's not my demand that the site must require it. Isn't that what the OP's question is asking? Whether the site owners/admins decide to do it or not do it, it's their choice.

I personally wouldn't pay hundreds for a 70s Japanese copy (but that's me, personally), but I see them being offered at those kind of prices, so there must be a market. I'm not sure about an unbranded one, though. I guess you could agree that if you sold it, you could split the money at that point.

It's my opinion, not a demand! I look at the buy & sell pages on a lot of sites and I tend to pass by the ones which don't have the info readily available; if things don't at least show a price, location, and photos, then I'll probably move on. I don't know about pain of life, but if you want to sell something, it's probably an idea to make it easy for your potential buyers.

Yep - that's it.

I like to see whether it's nearby, for collection. If I see something I like, I'd want to try it, but finding it's in Aberdeen (I'm in Berks) means it's a no-go. Same with wanteds - someone might be after something and I might have one I'm not sure about selling, so I could say pop around and have a look-see.

Pots are easy to replace, if needs be. But it may not even need that; sometimes the nut holding the pot to the scratchplate comes loose and turning the knob turns the whole pot, which then causes the wire to break off at some point - that's an easy fix!

It's a shame, because there was some really useful information there.

My first thought was Grant, but I have no hard details. The bridge cover looks like it's a replacement, as those 70s ones came with the full-size cover and you can see the screw holes. I had a Columbus back in the day and this one doesn't seem familiar.

Here's one I picked up last year: Status Graphite neck. Warmoth body. Badass II bridge. Schaller tuners + Hipshot eXtender. J-Retro preamp. (Not sure what pickups are.) Straplocks. I did have a fretless version of it too, but I sold that.

I think at least putting the county should be a requirement for ads.

My Shaftesbury: Now has a Ric bridge and binding (pending collection).
