Had been lurking following the build thread, but have to [i]come out[/i] and say awesome finish. looks fantastic! (jealous)

Thanks fatgoogle, Only discovered adverts the other day, one of the guys at work was talking about it. gumtree I had seen but it is not great, buyandsell is good too. I'll check out donedeal and thump, I never heard of those. From Nenagh originally so not too far from fethard. D_G

Hey Stu, Yeah I am keeping my eye out for one's in the UK, even a cheap ryanair flight may be worth a trip with the good sterling conversion at the moment. I'm not in any major rush I just thought it may have been good value. I'll prob make a cheap offer and see what happens, worst he can do is say no and it means no driving for me. D_G

Since I posted in my first thread yesterday I decided to say hello as I have been registered and lurking for quiet a while. "Hello" I'm based in Ireland and have picked up my bass again after many many years of it lying idle, I used to play a fair bit when I was in my teens. Now with a few years ages and a small bit of wisdom I’m trying again. A bit different this time round, getting more into the musical and technical side of things now and will be getting a few lessons to try and keep me on track, I used to play clarinet which I was pretty handy at but that is a fond memory too. It is weird what happens when a young lad discovers alcohol and ladies. Not with any band at the mo, just playing for the fun and enjoyment. I do meet up with a guy I work with who plays piano keyboard just for a bit of practice and craic, he has plenty of patients. Like to tinker with stuff too so there are loads of half finished pedals all over my place, will post pics once I get them up and running, hopefully. I have to say there is lots of great info here and thanks to all who post. Looking forward to spending more time here. D_G

Cool stuff on the shipping front, thought it would be more. Don't mind at all, I'm just outside Limerick on the Clare side, hard to take being a Tipp man. I see your based in wexford, that bass is on your doorstep.

Hey lads, Thanks for all the replies. Having considered the price asking and the distance to get to it i think i will pass. I only discovered the adverts site the other day so I’ll keep my eye on it for a complete bass, not really in any major rush to be honest. Howya fatgoogle, yeah been visiting the site for a while but never really needed to post. There are plenty of good deals in the UK alright but the shipping is a killer, going to the US in September but I’m sure customs would have a field day with me if I had a bass under my arm, flying through Shannon so might be worth a shot. Thanks D_G

Been lurking for a while and require some help so time for my first post. Would this [url="http://www.adverts.ie/showproduct.php?product=121250&cpage=2#poststart"]MIM[/url] be considered good value? Just happened to come across it and it caught my eye. I would have no problems with assembly and electronics as I am pretty handy that way. Is a MIM jazz worth 200-250 plus extras required to finish it? From what I know (and I could be very wrong with this statement so feel free to educate me) MIM Jazz's are pretty good but the electronics are usually poor? Any advice would be very welcome. Thanks D_G A bit of background, I played bass when I was younger and have picked it up again 12 years on, literally starting from scratch again, have been to the doctor and diagnosed with the first symptoms of GAS.
