  1. Cool - it was Manchester Apollo for me.
  2. Mo Foster is a good 'un; I saw him with Jeff Beck on the There & Back tour; met them after the gig!
  3. There might be a sale in a while...
  4. Well, assuming it is genuine and can be refinished, that was a pretty good price. I dropped out earlier...
  5. A mere scratch! I'm picking up my bass tomorrow from the bloke who's repairing this. and this...
  6. Hehe - he does spell it properly in the description, though.
  7. Won't come to any 'arm!
  8. Aye - just the title and the illegal logo.
  9. Looks a bit of a dog to me.
  10. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Fender-Warmoth-74-Jazz-bass-build-project/112736305513?hash=item1a3f9b8169:g:kZMAAOSwytJaQ7~W Only pickups, bridge, neckplate are Fender. Body is Warmoth. Fender logo on 3rd party neck makes it a fake.
  11. Aye - I guess it's a matter of whether there is something untoward underneath, and the quality of finish... (And the time & effort required!)
  12. I'd say a competent luthier should be able to sort it.
  13. I've got an Affinity Strat which I bought for my kids 10+years ago; it's like a Fender except every part is just cheaper & less well finished, but it sounds rather good. I looked at selling it a while back, but they're not worth much, so I kept it; I think £40-60 is the right price range and you get a lot of guitar for that!
  14. The machines are interesting - not yer standard cheap Japanese ones.
  15. Well, I haven't been wanting one of those for years, but it looks so left-field I think I'll give it a go! PM on way...
  16. I think it's amusing that the packaging has Professional misspelled. But it looks a nice cable!
  17. That's an interesting way of flipping the question around.
  18. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Fender-Jazz-Bass/182988650320?_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIM.MBE%26ao%3D2%26asc%3D49130%26meid%3D537622dc6ad542afaa6d2b34918cbae7%26pid%3D100005%26rk%3D6%26rkt%3D6%26sd%3D362200709424&_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851 "I can't tell for 100% is it real fender parts" - well, I can tell the machines aren't!
  19. We used to make fun of Jedson back in the 70s; it'd be worth up to £50 as a curio, but not as a player.
  20. As mentioned, even the county would give a general idea of the area. Work-wise, most peoples jobs say they shouldn't be posting online whilst at work. No need for their precise post-code.
  21. Elf in your pocket after a gig = a really hot derrier!
  22. Perfect!

    Odd balls

    There are some commercial brands which assemble basses from off-the-shelf parts. Recently I nearly bought a Peter Cook Mighty Mite P-bass - he made them in the 70s/80s(?) and one I saw had a Mighty Mite logo.
  24. Hmmm - this seems to have tumbled out of control.
  25. Me too - I think we can say things have folded.
