Oh yea, I just put a set of Rotosound Flatwounds on there so it sounds mre like John entwistles bass every day. It sounds sweeeeeet

Seems to work now! More detailed pics just ask, will do my best for ya! I've never seen a Silvertone/Danelectro Dolphn bass in this country, they're as rare as, well, something very rare indeed.

[quote name='Jase' post='99784' date='Dec 5 2007, 06:59 PM']I wouldn't give a feck about the fretboard, if I had the cash I'd have it I'm actually looking for a vintage Fender, probably take a lifetime to save for one.[/quote] Not really, you can get early 70's ones for about £700, so not that long really... I bought a 69 for £1100 6 months ago.

Hi everyone I'm having a few issues financially, so I've had to sell up tons of stuff I've got around the house, And I've got a big house. Pics are here, let me know if you're interested. Prices are negotiable and all of it is here in my lovely house in Bristol! PMs if you want it. Also, apologies to a couple of people who I've not been clear with, and I'm sorry! 1974 Fender Precision Pickups - these are the complete pickups and pots from a 1974 Fender Precision. Pots are dates, pickups too, and the solder has never ever been touched. You know you want them! £200 1963 Danelector Dolphin Bass. Great item, all original apart from the changed tuners. the scratchplate is missing. It's a 60's garage rock classic and it's a steal for £400 [b]Early Geddy Lee Jazz Bass. - On Hold for the 2nd time![/b] I've got tons of old Fender bits as well (new guitar I've parted out) so let me know what you want...! Precision and Jazz Bodies Now Sold (I can't remove pics though!)

[quote name='99ster' post='98556' date='Dec 4 2007, 12:41 AM']No - it's not common - unless they've had a hard life & been played lots...[/quote] I've actually come accross quite a few that have BTW. I own one in fact (although it was an ebony fretboard on top of the sweetes Fender neck I've ever used). Sometimes there were truss rod issues which have split the fretboard, sometimes they've been worn down, other times the owner just wanted a change. To behonest though, value wise it's going to affect it a hell of a lot. If it's noticeable (and it would need to be a great job not to be!) then I'd factor that into the sale price.

I've wanted one for ages, and my family (about 20 of them!) asked what they could buy me, I said 'double bass' and they asked me to find one. As soon as i got back from the studio, there was on eon the computer! Madness I tell you. S I thought, why not, and hopefully she will be mine very shortly. i can't wait! She'll be on stage with me in a few months hopefully. I have an EUB that doesn't do the trick. Perhaps I'll put that up for sale instead!

I'll take it! PMed

PM'd. I wan this for some recording this week! She's lovely! w

Hello all, I'm getting rid of some old basses to get a new 60's jazz. Today for sale I have: 1963 Danalectro 'Dolphin' Bass. This is the king of 60's garage/surf band rock chic. All original aexcept for tuning pegs, this is a great bass for, well, next to nothing. £450 2006 Candy Apple Red Japanese Jazz Bass Body - Phwoar, this is lovely. Fully loaded and ready to slot a neck on it. £225 Geddy Lee Jazz - exceptional bass. Not sure of price, email with offers. Let me know what's fair. 1965 Gibson Melody Maker - all original, but with a repaired neck (it's a vintage Gibson, so it's not the end of the world). Cherry red, and a steal at £500 1950's Czech 'Parlour' guitar with original case. This guitar is a work of art, and sounds amazing. Action is a little high, so I'd use it as either a slide guitar, a vintage garage style smasher or a slide guitar. £200 sheets. I've got more, but this should cover the 60's jazz (plus a substantial amount of cash from me as well he he) Email/PM for pics. Lawrie

Let me know if you want a set of 1974 knobs then let me know because I have a set. PM me if interested.

Lovely bass, but a bit full on the price. Great basses to play, and super sounding instruments no doubt about it.

Truly exceptional basses. Unbelievably good value at that price, and something that in a few years I am sure will be worth a lot more money. I had aone (a 5 string) and it was serene, just couldn't get on with the low B.

He he, I'm always the same with my old girls. I give it about 6 months before you get itchy fingers :-)

Err, taking offers on this stuff people! Give me a ring if interested as email sucks the big fat one at the moment. 07917563110

Bump with more added. PM if you want it, and throw me some offers if you feel lucky. I'm in a good mood today.

Aww man, that sucks I didn't even get a PM! Ahh well.

Lawrie

Err yes, everyone was right, it is just the body. Otherwise I would be going mad in my selling splurge :-) Anyway, a few pics of the Fender body as requested. Anyone who wants to see it can come down, and we can throw a new neck on there and get her working! Lawrie

Hi Jay, it is a Badass 2. Give me a ring as I have moved. You can see if there's anything else there you want as well. Hope you're doing well. Lawrie

Hi Chris, I've already had someone reserve the case, and the tuners as well, but you're second on my list if he doesn't want it! Cheers, and I hope you are well, and hope you're chopping and changing as much as I am with basses :-)
