    I did a deal with Trev for my Cort A6 today and he was very polite and generous considering the distance he had to drive to pick it up! Straight to the point kinda guy, which I like and very honest as he alerted me about the basschat dispute beforehand. It was a cash in hand deal and I have no complaints at all. Fantastic player too!! I would definately deal with him again. I'm not sure if using other bcers photos is a major issue??

    Bass for a bad back....

    Pedulla's look amazing. So many toys, so little time!

    Took my Gibson SG along to practice last night and can't get on with it at all. I thought short scale bass for a short scale bloke? much prefer Fenders. Plus although the gibbo is light and has huge bottom end grunt it's neck heavy and the strap button is in a silly place. Guess that'll be going next :)[/quote]

    Just stick a strap button on the headstock, be dandy!! You just need to get used to the short scale, takes a couple o weeks and then you'll be flying! :lol:

    Fender Precisions - they're fantastic

    I can't stand the P-bass, I love the vintage legacy en all but the sound is woolly, clanky at times and I just hear my finger squeaking and beating on the strings. Has a really boxey sound and it doesn't stand out whatsoever. I prefer something with a hell of a lot more drive - to my tastes bass should be as loud as guitar. I loathe being called the quiet one, if I played one of these I would never get noticed.

    The neck doesn't feel too bad, but it decreasing speed of playing massively! I also prefer resting my thumb on the edge of a soapbar on a four, as an anchor, instead of a screw. I dont like the look either unless its sunburst, tort and rosewood (has to be rosewood!! or it sounds too thin) with ashtrays. I'd buy a 62 RI cos of the look when its slung low, but i'd end up selling it due to the weak sound. The PJ configuration sounds a lil better but again too wooly. Overrated massively, can get that sound on many a bass.

    I'd have to buy some ghastly wooden plank with the pickup right up against the end of the fingerboard like a Hofner Club. Then again, judging on how I've worn and aged over the last forty years, it'd be a pretty horrid and grimy specimen!

    I own a Charvel Jackson 1988 (D.O.B.) star, I used to look at the one Chris Holmes used in WASP when I was 3 onwards. When I saw one on Ebay (and they're quite hard to find) my father bought me it for my 21st...pretty wicked :lol: . I also own a 1969 Custom bass, but its not worn or grimy :)
