God, I had forgotten that. Henry 'King Thumb' Thomas wasn't it? BB

I think I remember one where some Bird was being taught the drums (quite informative) and the info trailing across the bottom of the screen saying that Bass lessons were coming up next (need them!) but waited and waited..............then got infomercials for crap but no bass BB

That's mighty tasty but the last few I've seen have gone for a lot less than that Nice facings though! BB

Where's me link gone?????? Ah, bythesea has stolen it! Thank you BB

Another Ian/Pete Classic for sale......Luvverly! BB

I thought most of their s/h gear was getting sold on commission hence pushing the price up? BB

I thought that was going to say [quote name='Tait' post='513323' date='Jun 14 2009, 02:24 PM']spot on, according to "the fender bass: an illustrated history" - 'Jez is talking bollocks.....'[/quote]

[quote name='Jean-Luc Pickguard' post='513257' date='Jun 14 2009, 12:37 PM']I used to hang an onion from mine which was the fashion at the time. Anyway, about my washtub. I just used it that morning to wash my turkey, which in those days was known as a walking bird. We’d always have walking bird on Thanksgiving with all the trimmings: cranberries, injun eyes, and yams stuffed with gunpowder. Then we’d all watch football, which in those days was called baseball.[/quote] If you dont start making more sense, we're gonna have to put you in a home...... BB

I feel like a total d*ck - I have seen that tons of times and never realised it was a strap button!!! BB

No not mine, i had it in my watch list just to see what happened - it's a sunburst i am after. Fenders are a mystery to me, I would like a nice vintage precision but, as you can tell, I would probably get stiffed if the neck had been totally refinished could that just be botched replacement decal? Bb

This didnt attract any interest at all - which I am surprised - am I missing something? [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=270402048792"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...em=270402048792[/url]

[quote name='bigthumb' post='506859' date='Jun 6 2009, 11:16 AM']The bass looks good. The thumb rest is in the correct position for the year. '73 '74 was a transition period for the whole thumb rest thing. But I do think its way over priced. This one ain't too bad. [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1973-FENDER-P-BASS-PRECISION-PRICED-TO-SELL_W0QQitemZ190311352678"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1973-FENDER-P-BASS-P...emZ190311352678[/url] Not 100% original but it wouldn't bother me.[/quote] Not trying to hi-jack Happy Jack's thread but this one does it for me but what difference would/could the replaced pots make? I suppose irt could depend on the parts used even if it was genuine Fender parts? BB

[quote name='Happy Jack' post='512468' date='Jun 12 2009, 09:41 PM']I was planning to take mine with me ...[/quote] You'll need an asbestos flightcase then? BB

What about Rowbees Squier Jazz???? (in for sale section obviously) BB

I have them all photographed with a note of the serial numbers etc and current value (in case of fire /burglary) and my daughter knows, if I peg it, to stick them on eBay, or indeed on here, for sale and what to expect to get for them. I am 47 and on Tuesday last my best mate from school ( although we had lost touch since then) dropped dead from a stroke so it can all come sooner than you think. BB

[quote name='RhysP' post='511785' date='Jun 12 2009, 06:15 AM']It's better looking than most Warwick designs...... [/quote] Jah! You vill regret saying that, British swine! Vot is your name? BB (Grupenfuerher)

Wish I had had all this advice for my 'Ray - Fine bass but couldnt put my finger on what was wrong with it, I couldnt seem to dial in what i wanted and ended up punting it. Hope urs turns out OK BB

ALL mine were made on planet Earth but being more specific 1. England 2.Germany 3.England 4.England 5.England 6.England 7.England I think there is a pattern developing here....... BB Goodfellow might be Ireland

I only buy it to hide my copy of Huge Juggs ( a celebrated journal of note ) which also contains pictures of t*ts BB

[quote name='dub_junkie' post='511516' date='Jun 11 2009, 06:36 PM']that could be messy - iirc they're glued on the 20th,not fixed with screws.[/quote] Paint stripper hot gun and a chisel and that would off in seconds!!! Of course I would have to come round and kill you for spoiling the best looking Ray I've seen in a long time! BB

Never mind that, which bass player could you drop 40 feet from a crane and he would still work? BB

His abilty is not in question, he just has one of those coupons, you know, that you just want to....and dont get me started on Gary Willis' hat!!!!! BB
