[quote name='Chipps' post='671772' date='Dec 2 2009, 02:06 AM']Always loved the Berettas... and I'm strangely drawn to that butchered '70s Strat, even though I don't like natural finishes or maple necks - I guess it's good to know that not all the classic Fenders escaped the '80s big hair days. This one suffered so that all the suspiciously pristine ones could live. Er, or something...[/quote] Well, the Strat is now up for sale as I've only had daft e-mails from French guys asking if I can put the original trem and pickups back on. DUH? In addition to this, I cocked up the dating and now having gone further into it with Strat Central and being told NOT to trust the Fender website. It's a 74 NOT a 77. Here's a link to one of the many sites with better dating info. [url="http://www.guitardaterproject.org/fender.aspx"]http://www.guitardaterproject.org/fender.aspx[/url] Log on, enter serial (571240) no prefix and it will come up. So even more vintage-ier if that's a real word. In fact, how much more vintage-ier can it be? none, none more vintage-ier. Anyway, it's here, has a possibility of getting back to London / Essex on Monday night and is £800

Up for grabs is an SKB type rack case. 6 unit and in great condition although a tad dusty inside. Ideally need to sell before Monday as that is when my mate goes back in his van (Essex / London) it can then be picked up from him or he can deliver it if you speak to him about a nominal cost. The front and rear covers are only off for the picture. All catches in perfect cond. If it sells after Monday, he'll be back over for New Year and can take it back on the 3rd January. £45.00 Thanks, leschirons

A few of you may remember that I have the unpleasant job of selling some guitars for a friend's widow. I need to do a lot of work to clean, photograph, date and price up all these but this is what will be on offer after I've done all that. It will be easier to try and sell these here due to transport issues. Whatever is left (if not all, as the French have just as little money as the UK at present) will be offered on Basschat and then Ebay. Transport will then be arranged via a reliable insured courier although the possibility exists that I may be able to bring them over to London/Essex. This is now what is for sale. With prices. Mail me with any requests for more pics. Ignore the two PRS 22 customs. They have both gone. 1974 Strat 3 bolt (unfortunately with a licensed Schaller Floyd and 3 Seymours) Natural. £800 1988 USA Neptune Kramer Baretta 1 "Eye" graphics by Klein. £550 1985 Kramer Baretta, black, USA custom order. £500 1991 Heartfield Elan3 Dimarzio HSH and real Floyd. Transparent red. £1200 Les Paul gone gone gone....

[quote name='alauth' post='618420' date='Oct 6 2009, 12:01 PM']Hi everyone ! I'm trading/selling this amazing bass made by the luthier Christian Noguera (one of the most famous luthier in France, if not the most). It is an Yves Carbonne model, with 8 strings and it is the only one right handed ! Other ones are for Yves and they are left handed. I want to trade this bass because it is not the sound I'm searching for. The sell price would be 4500$/2825£/3055€ (this is 7500$ new). So, here it is : You have a full review here (with many photos) : [url="http://www.onlybass.com/html/test-noguera-yc.html"]http://www.onlybass.com/html/test-noguera-yc.html[/url] (sorry, French inside) A quick translation of the specs would be : Body : alder Top : poplar burl Fingerboard : ebony Neck (one piece) : birdseye maple Matched headstock Crel custom microphones Aguilar OBP3 preamp Hipshot Style A custom bridge 19mm string spacing 34"' scale I'm not selling it for money so I'm not in a hurry. I would be very interested in a trade with an other bass (like a [u][b]MTD 635 Wenge/Wenge[/b][/u] or a [u][b]Dingwall 6[/b][/u]) What interests me is a bass with 6 strings and more Don't hesitate to send me a PM to know if I could be interested by your bass I live in France and will probably send the bass with UPS. Thanks for reading Arthur[/quote] Superbe.

If anyone needs a Jazz scratchplate in black 3 ply. Here's one. Don't know if its Yanky or Jap but I remember it being around for about 15 years. Proceeds to go to Basschat and once it's been confirmed that that has been done, I'll post it off which I'll pay for. Whad'yer reckon? £12 as it's for a good cause?

I have the unpleasant task of selling some guitars for a late close friend's widow. She had intended to keep the lot but needs must. With the help of a very helpfull BC'er, this guitar has been dated to 1977. Serial number (not stamped in apparently) 06211025. It also has the words "Les Paul Custom" and made in USA on the reverse of the headstock. The guitar has not been cleaned in any way as is obvious by one of the pictures. The case is not the original as it's from the 80's period. The bridge pick-up was changed to a Seymour Duncan but the guitar will be sold with the original refitted or if anyone prefers to do this themselves, the Duncan can be returned afterwards as I'm trying to get as much money for this lot as possible for her. The guitar is in Brittany but will be with me after about 10 days for any further photography and info. Getting the guitar back to the UK is not a problem and any carriage will only be within the UK but it MUST be insured if you want to do that. Collection from Essex is also an option. I know the pics are not great but she didn't really understand my instructions. The paper name and address sticker on the back of the headstock will be removed as it was simply put there for ID purposes by my late friend. As stated, I need to try and get as good a price as possible and she has told me that she would like to get as close to 2,000 Euros as possible. I don't know what this equates to in Sterling at the moment as it changes on a daily basis. If this is your cup of tea, try a very close offer. Other guitars to come shortly will be a pair of PRS 10 tops, a pair of 80's Kramer Barettas, a 1978 natural Strat but unfortunately with a Floyd and a pair of Duncan humbuckers and a Heartfield Elan (1992) a Mex Tele and a couple of acoustics. Thanks for looking.

That's a beauty. I might put the price up (or change my mind about selling it) Cheers for that.
