  1. I recall one about them squeezing a tube of Wasabi into a bowl and telling JN it was guacamole.
  2. Indeed. Wonder if it's the same seller?

    AH, yes, of course.
  4. I had the Vintage 'Jaco' Jazz. It was a POS. Awful body finish and horrendous neck-dive. A weak-sounding instrument.

    I've heard some courier firms have trackers on their vehicles. I cannot remember which ones, though, and if actually true.

    Without a doubt the worst courier experience I have had, either as Hermes or as Evri. The former lost track of a Steinberger XL2 I was posting to Vienna. Checked twice at Edinburgh and seemingly never left that depot. Hermes would not answer calls, and the chat-bot kept telling me it was unable to answer, or somesuch. I had to get the courier broker involved (Parcel Hero) and they actually got through to them but they were of not help. The purchaser was really understanding, but just as I was about to refund them and make a claim, some two weeks after courier picked it, I got an email from the purchaser that it had arrived in Vienna ok.....whilst still showing sat in Edinburgh. The second one, with Evri, involved a drop-off at my door (in a block) despite a note to leave in a particular safe place. A photo was provided but the item was not there when I arrived home. I now get items delivered to, or sent from, my workplace.
  7. Shame about that J. Wal Pro 1
  8. Back in my teens, I sometimes rehearsed in the attic of a hippy flat. There was a Dano plexi guitar there, and it was heavy enough, iirc.
  9. Don't recall them with two humbuckers. Nice neck/'board for the mid '70s. CSL Bass
  10. In discussion with AB, Thx for input. All seems to be going well.
  11. A mate used to call them that, facetiously.
  12. Once known as Rickenbacker International Company.
  13. I've never purchased from this dealer (for several reasons) but I'm considering doing so, as something has arrived that I have my eye on. so I'm looking for others' experience, positive or negative.
  14. Those early stacks had that black overspray. And I've seen one or two that had the red almost faded away.
  15. I thought it might be a Kemper Profiler, but it isn't.
  16. I had a V63 and I drooled over it....except I couldn't get on with the baseball bat neck, so it went. The neck was ok. The swimming pool behind the neck is not good for those basses. And, yes, their prices are nuts right now, and most of them appear to be in Japan.
  17. Gone! I actually rather liked it. But not at the price asked.
