    Great pics, looks a great gig. Love your bass also 👍
  2. Beedster
    That’s a fair point 🤔

    Drummers either have a small car or no car, go figure?

    Unattractive relic to my eye, lots of battering round the edges rather than player wear
  5. Beedster
    That’s the truth of it 👍

    If you want it be quick however, as I appear to be changing my mind a lot at the moment and it wouldn't take a lot of convincing for me to keep it

    Rather torn about this and certainly not overly keen to sell, but I bought it recently to do a better job than a Status Jazz in an RHCP project but I think I prefer the Jazz. I'm selling for slightly less than I paid, c'est la vie. Trade-wise I'd like a decently large amp, Boogie, Ampeg, WHYG? This has a forearm contour that I assume is a modification (as opposed to factory), but as you can see, has been very well done. I can get to London or most of SE (or beyond) for a handover, and given this thing is 100% bombproof I'm happy to post in a hard case 👍 More details here

    That is a bargain 👍

    Well on the face of it, it's a pre-CBS at the price of an early 70's, so I'm thinking if it was legit it would have been snapped up already, there's about £5k resale profit in there for someone

    Yep, the Basschat Rule: if it looks to good to be true.....

    Mmm, no feedback, odd price, indicates London but offers shipping only to lower 48 states.......

    Happy to consider trades for this or I'll put it on eBay/Reverb 👍

    So, no-one's put their hand up for this, and having played it again this weekend I'd be pretty mad to sell it. I bought it for a Chilis project for which I subsequently also the SUB because I think it suits the project better (I really wanted a Modulus Flea). But to be honest the Jazz is just so bloody good I would be kicking myself about in the pretty near future, although I suspect I'd feel the same if I sold the SUB also. Problems, problems, problems

    Keep them mate. Even my ‘little’ Diesel 2x10 blows the socks off pretty much every cab I’ve owned with the exception of my two bigger Diesel cabs 👍

    I remember them as Fat Fingers as well 👍

    So, this is where I've got to........ Very light sandpaper revealed that under the white paint a previous owner appears to have sanded the original finish before applying the paint (where the finish is worn through to the wood is very very smooth, and while there's enough original finish to work with - on which the lovely checking is still visible - even that has signs of previous quite heavy sanding. Also looks like there's been a repair under the rout, I'd guess a battery compartment was installed and then filled. Think I'm going to do some very mild relicing to the wood so that it matches the feel and colour of the other areas of bare wood which are significantly darker.

    Pairs

    Beedster replied to msb's topic in Gear Gallery

    All (both.....) eras of RHCP covered.....
  19. Beedster
    They make. anice pair after all 👍
  20. Beedster
    Still available although I made the mistake of playing it last week and wondering whether I should keep it AND the SUB........ 🤔
  21. Beedster
    You'll never guess who make them.......
  22. Beedster
    It wasn't a Torres by the way

    I know many will disagree, but I don't really buy the idea of the unplayable 70's Fender (unless of course the neck has bowed which happens to manufacturers other than Fender e.g., EBMM and Ric). I've played some in shops and at a seller's house that have played like dogs - bad setup, dodgy electrics, neck not on straight or badly shimmed - but while I often declined to buy them at the time, I'm not convinced any couldn't be recovered! I bought a maple neck '75 Precision unseen on eBay and when it arrived it was a disaster, neck like a suspension bridge, strings nowhere near poles, more dead spots than Margate in winter, but I got it playable with some work. OK, it was VERY heavy, but I've nevere been that worried about weight.

    Must dig out my old copy

    I seem to be storing drums here so that would solve a problem I do have 👍
