I know this as I've seen them come in my shop over the years. IMO 70's fenders wern't that 'golden' I'm a real fan of the new stuff that's out now, quality.

Avoid selling cars :<< I have a mint focus as a classified ad for £1995, some half wit offered £1000

<<<10. A bass can be mint but still have chips, dings & cracks.>>> I've bought these mint basses and that's so true! One persons opinion etc'

you got a pic of the shure please?

I too have all the basses I need except for two, a Shuker jazz and a USA maple neck G&L 4 string. still look about err a lot each day.

Just done a deal with young Andy involving a Jaguar and a gorgeous Precision which has just arrived. Blown away with the P, it's superb! I did look in the box but the girl wasn't there Andy went above and beyond the call of duty so I could have this for the weekend chasing the courier down the road and making him come back Thanks very much mate you are one gentleman, scholar and acrobat, I hope to deal with you again! Best regards, Tom.

Nah, one piece of wood. It has one bid

I have bought bought and sold quite a bit of stuff in the year or so that I've been here. I have been done a couple of times but it's my fault for not asking enough questions, and as has been already said, one person's idea of mint usually isn't mine but you take that chance. I am very very fussy about my stuff as folks that have bought from me will testify. Still trying to find the perfect bass for me and am close with the G&L. However as I'm 64 time is running out and there are sooo many basses out there Profit wise I have lost money on just about everything but I'm retired now and can afford to lose small amounts, usually the carriage. I sold one member a 51 reissue bass for £500 and it was on ebay the following week for £750. I don't really care about that because I don't own it anymore and if he can get that for it then good luck! I'm more concerned about people realising that I'm spending good money on their bass and ALL marks and dings and neck problems should be hilighted, I'd never buy a bass off anyone using sh*t camera phone pics. and yes I make a donation every time I sell something without fail. I love the ethos of the majority of members, it's very friendly and people are extremely helpful too, we just need to be discerning about who we deal with. Just my twopenneth

I have the blueburst with maple, also have the Korean in natural. These are the best basses I own by a country mile, go buy one now, in fact buy two Fantastic! end of.

I only do church gigs.
