    [quote name='bassatnight' post='628116' date='Oct 16 2009, 05:18 PM']Just a Fretless to add to the family and I am done! (until the gas hits me again!) Marcus Miller, Sadowsky Jazz, Fender US P, Fender US Jazz[/quote] I think you need something 80s - an Aria perhaps How's it going Steve? I'm enjoying the SB1000 a lot - more than i thought I would actually. It's at the repair shop at the moment receiving some TLC. I thought you already had a fretless? Take care mate, Derrick

    Walnut ??

    lapolpora replied to Starless's topic in Bass Guitars

    A mate of mine has one of the early 80s walnut Stratocasters. Black pickguard, gold plated hardware - absolutely stunning. Sounds good but goes out of tune quickly (don't they all ) His strat is actually called "Strat" on the headstock - not "Stratocaster" and I also remember being about the same time as the early 80s Elite series.

    Tasty! Good work. You just need a bit more work on the groove face

    [quote name='PauBass' post='593090' date='Sep 8 2009, 05:33 PM'] Very tempted by this bass...If you don't mind me asking? Are those pots original ones or they've been replaced? Just asking because the one on the left looks too new and different to the ones I've seen before.[/quote] PaulBass, To be honest I really couldn't tell you. I know a good bit about Fenders but I'm not an expert. When I bought this I bought it from a guy who had owned it for 20 years. I asked if he ever had any work done to it (roundabout was of asking him if it was all original) and he told me that he had one of the pots reconditioned - not replaced, but reconditioned. He himself had bought the bass when it was ten years old. Your right about the pot looking different, but I really don't know what it should look like to say. Everything else about this Fender "looks right". Nothing stands out as being newer/changed/different. All the wear and tear and ageing looks consistent across the instrument. G'wan

    [quote name='OldGit' post='591915' date='Sep 7 2009, 09:05 AM']You may want to read the Couriers thread [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=36625"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=36625[/url][/quote] Thanks Old Git. Some useful info there, though no real surprises (you get what you pay for and all that). Personally I've found Parcel2Go to be OK. Whenever I've had a problem with them (twice - both missed collections) it's been when I've booked DHL. Unfortunately they don't seem to act as agents for UPS anymore.

    [quote name='Pete Academy' post='587872' date='Sep 2 2009, 07:57 PM']I can promise anyone, this bass is unbreakable.[/quote] The first time I laid eyes on a Steinberger was in the original Bass Centre in Wapping (the small showroom upstairs). The guy on the floor was demonstrating to another customer how strong it was. He lifted it to head height and dropped it on the floor. It wasn't even out of tune. I saved up and bought one, sold it years later when it was unfashionable and needed cash for other things and have always regretted parting with it. I'd have another in an instant if I could find one and actually afford one. And it was the best built bass I have ever seen from any era.

    [quote name='DBMAN' post='586707' date='Sep 1 2009, 05:51 PM']Hi! Do you ship to France?[/quote] Hi, I think I can ship the bass to France for about £35 - with tracking but uninsured. The shipping cost is pretty reasonable as I can book it via www.parcel2go.com. I can pack it in its case and in a cardboard outer box padded with packing material. Let me know if you're interested.

    [quote name='BigAlonBass' post='577873' date='Aug 22 2009, 09:34 PM']I thought Bands like Chic, (and that type of music) were a complete waste of time (personal opinion only) so didn't ever bother listening to the Bass line, or even know who the Bassist was. I had to Google his name to find out who you were talking about-sorry.[/quote] Fair enough, but listen to this: [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SVWaAAsbahI"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SVWaAAsbahI[/url] You know the tune. You can't tell me that's not a sublime tone and in the pocket groove. ...and can anyone tell me how to embed the youtube link in the post?
