  5. Hi everyone! First off I need to say I don't really want to sell this bass, but unfortunately needs must. I bought it brand new in 2008 from PMT in Birmingham, so I probably paid too much for it, but I tried all the American P's in the shop and this one had the sound I was looking for. The ash body, string through bridge and maple fretboard/neck combo seemed to produce the best P growl I'd ever heard, with the maple neck really adding to the top end. It also comes equipped with the (optional) S1 switch, which I'm sure everyone knows does not add much to the sound of the Precision (and so I have seldom used it) but it is what it is. As mentioned in the title it is a "Diamond Anniversary" model from 2006, and the colour is Transparent Sunset Orange. Because it was a transparent colour, the body is ash compared to the solid colours from that year which I believe had alder bodies. The bass has sat in its case for most of its life as I've always tended to favour my Stingrays when playing live, though it is a beautiful sounding (and looking) example of a classic P. The photos don't do the wood grain justice, but I've done my best. There isn't a single mark on her, and I would therefore list it in "as new" condition with only the slightest amount of surface rust on the exposed pickup pole pieces (which could probably be removed quite easily). The case only has a couple of minor scuff marks (removable with a bit of elbow grease), and it comes with all the original case candy (truss rod allen wrench, Fender strap, cleaning cloth, case keys, etc.) still in their original bag having never been used. I remember paying close to £1000 for this bass new, and I have seen the market for P basses seems quite varied depending on the particular bass, so I figure I will ask for offers in the region of £800, before I decide whether I want to put this up on ebay. As I said needs must, so I thought I'd see if there was any interest here first. I am located near Bromsgrove, just south of Birmingham where the M5 meets the M42 and would prefer collection as I wouldn't want to post it. I am also quite happy to accommodate anyone wanting to see/try the bass first. I can accept PayPal or other forms of payment so feel free to make an offer. All the photos can be seen at [url="http://s13.photobucket.com/albums/a296/dswalton/Fender%20P/"]http://s13.photobucket.com/albums/a296/dswalton/Fender%20P/[/url], but here are a few to give you an idea of what I'm offering up for sale. If there are any problems accessing my photobucket photos, then please let me know. I can also take more photos upon request. I have sold a few items on this forum before (amps, cabs, effects) so I'm sure there are a few people who can vouch for me as an honest seller. I haven't been around as much lately due to our recent arrival, but hopefully that will change in the near future! Here are the photos: And cheers for looking!
  6. Just bought a pedal from HotRox last week and it arrived next day after delivery updates sent by email. Very pleased with the service received, so would definitely recommend them.
  7. I think if ever a thread needed pics, then it's this one!
  8. [quote name='gusto' post='504481' date='Jun 3 2009, 10:02 AM']You have pm :-)[/quote] Sorry Gusto/Mark, you were number 2. Golchen/Jon was number 1. Tickets now gone!
  9. Have 2 tickets for the show at the Excel on Saturday June 13th that I can no longer attend. Sux as I just looked at the schedule (should never do that) and Nicko McBrain is running the drum demo this year, should be pretty entertaining. So if you want the tickets, just drop me a PM (first come first served) and I'll post them to you on Saturday free of charge.

  11. [quote name='johnnylager' post='486598' date='May 13 2009, 08:10 AM']Rob Wright from Nomeansno / Hanson Brothers uses a 300 watt Marshall 3530 S/S head with a tube pre into a Marshall 4x12 guitar cab. He has a brutal sound.[/quote] Funny you should mention this, as I bought a 3530 a little while back in an attempt to recreate Rob's bass tone. I spoke to him at a NoMeansNo gig once, after reading about something he said in an interview in a bass mag that was repeated on t'internet, and he did say the 3530 has a "tiny tube" in it which was what helped with that crunchy tone. Just like you have suggested with the tube in the pre-amp, and yet I've taken the cover off of mine and see no sign of any such tube (and nowhere to hide one). I contacted Marshall about this amp and they have no info on it (useful). Promised to get back to me but never have. Rob said he doesn't use any effects and just plugs directly in, and I believe this as I do the same and if I crank it enough, the crunch is definitely there, but this seems strange coming from a solid state amp. Any ideas? And so I'm not taking away from your original thread question, I have the aformentioned 3530 and a JCM800 Super Bass head and both produce great (and completely different) tones. I suppose as with any amp, everyone's opinions will be different, and if Marshall have had quality control issues in the past, then this will affect this. But I can say I've heard great things about the VBA amp from others on this forum, and my gear is quite old and perhaps from a time when there weren't such problems (but I have no idea) so if you like the sound of Marshall gear then there's no reason why you shouldn't go for it.
  12. [quote name='El_JimBob' post='474204' date='Apr 28 2009, 02:03 PM']Consider me 'interested'....[/quote] As Mrs. Doyle would say "G'won g'won g'won g'won g'won g'won g'won!" I don't want to have to resort to Fleabay, and promise to donate £20 from this sale to the maintenance of this site.
