  1. I'm also open to Trades. I'm looking for an Epiphone Thunderbird, Hofner HCT 185 Artist Bass or Jazz bass. It can either be a whole thing or in bits/a project. Thanks!
  2. Hi I'm selling a partscaster tele I've recently put together. Body: Alder tele one piece Neck: Maple and rosewood strat neck. Truss rod adjustable at the heel. Pickups: Bridge- Iron Gear Rolling Mill. Neck - Stock Fender Body has been stripped and stained indian rosewood, as has neck. Finished with Nitro Satin lacquer from Manchester Guitar Tech. I'm not sure where the parts are from. The headstock seems to be an exact copy of a fender, so not sure if this a licenced copy or something else. I've currently got the neck pickup attached like a P-bass pickup - with screws into the body with a foam pad underneath. If you want it set up as standard, attached to the pickguard, I can change it over. The body has a swimming pool rout, so you can change pickups over to something bigger in the neck. I haven't strung it as I'm going to let the buyer pick what strings they want, and I'll put them on. One negative point - I didn't do the through body drilling, and the guy before me hasn't done the best job. As you'll see, two of the ferrules are very close together. I've checked and had it strung, and it absolutely doesn't affect playability or string life, so it's just cosmetic. I've had a look at other partscaster teles, and they seem to be listed at around £200, so I'm going to list this for £160 inc postage or collection from London/Herts. Price drop to £100!!
  3. Now on Ebay with buy it now or best offer on it. All offers considered. [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280916613830"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280916613830[/url] Thanks!
  4. Ok, do want this to go, so £180 for the bass or £130 for the loaded body. Thanks
  5. Bump. I may be open to parting this out too. If anyone wants the loaded body, so everything minus the neck, they can have it for £150 ono inc postage. If I can't sell the whole thing I might use the neck elsewhere, but don't need another P so the body can go. Thanks
  6. [quote name='Doctor J' timestamp='1339591625' post='1691031'] Claytonbashing mystifies me. One of the lines you see frequently trotted out by old punks is that [i]the great thing was that you didn't have to be able to play to be in a band[/i]. Therefore Clayton, I put it to you, is the living embodiment of punk. 30 years later he is still in the band and still not able to play. Punk not dead as long as Clayton lives. Stick your spirit of 77 up your arse, you all sold out where he is still proudly flying the flag. Not only that, but he gets paid too. Regularly. Not only that, but he gets supermodels. Regularly. Not only that, but his regular gig is not the Badger And Brake Lever playing Boney M covers, but football stadiums [i]and he doesn't even play football!!![/i] Mock him not, for he is a quite clearly a genius. [/quote] He could be considered a genius in the sense that he's the laziest multi-millionaire I can think of.
  7. It's a walnut stain, diluted slightly and then once dried a satin nitro finish. I was going for a Gibson SG Studio/Harrison Rosewood tele look. I'm currently doing a tele in the same colours as this, which I'll have up for sale in a week or so too.
  8. Up for sale is a customised P-bass, built by mine own fair hands. It was my main bass, but has fallen out of use and it's too nice to just be a 2nd bass. Alder body, rosewood fretboard with maple neck. Pearloid inlays (not stickers). 3 ply white pearloid pickguard. All stained walnut with a satin nitro finish. Wilkinson pups (was going for a standard trad p-bass sound, which these do really well), brass wilkinson bridge under the cover. As you'll see, I've gone for a rough sort of look, scratches and different depth of stain, just something a bit more interesting than the 'reliced' look. The neck is a jazz profile, thin and very smooth/fast playing. Holds a good low action and stays in tune well. Currently strung with rotosound flatwounds. Add a high level set of pickups, and you've got a brilliant bass. Really enjoyable to play. Obviously have spent a bit of time on this, so not looking to sell unless I get a good price. Based in Herts/London.

  10. Bought a P bass wiring kit off John. Gave me helpful advice about the tone I was looking for and which parts to use. Arrived quickly and was by far the easiest repair/modding I have ever had to do - had old wiring out, new wiring in and playing again in 10 minutes. Wouldn't go anywhere else for any wiring I need in the future.
