In my defence, I retired last year from owning a guitar shop so yes I'm lucky, (and often bored) I spend way too much time on here but the CV is awesome! I don't often go into a guitar shop to buy anything but had to have this. go buy one... well go on!! Dooooooooo eeeeeeeeettt.

I have just bought this: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=83937"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=83937[/url] pics down the bottom of the page. and I have to say how blown away I am with it. The action is low and it's really good to hold and play. I have 2x USA Precisions, one is a 2 pickup deluxe model and yet this newby will stand up with them. The quality is getting better on the cheaper stuff. I also made an impulse buy when out for a day in York on Monday. I saw this in Mormusic: [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Squier-classic-vibe-P-bass-1950s-lake-placid-blue-MN_W0QQitemZ380224359942QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV?hash=item5887234e06"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Squier-classic-vibe-...=item5887234e06[/url] Tried it, and it's as good as anything else I have, seriously! That little pickup surprised me, it has some oomph to it. It was up at £379 but he reduced it to £299 so I was happy enough. Again, very low action and a very straight neck. Mormusic I have to say is one of the best guitar shops I've been in, very pleasant and it's a happy place. Think I'll sell my expensive stuff now

Sorry I've eaten the mars Bar. -
I echo all the above, just bought a P bass off Rob and he is first class to deal with. He did exactly what he said he would do and the bass is setup perfectly. Trade with confidence folks! Cheers Rob.

This is an outstanding example of an SG bass, whoever gets it won't be disappointed. It's just like brand new! GLWTS Mike.

Cheers guys, it plays as good as it looks

The trouble is that there are a lot of well made chinese basses and guitars out there now, the market is awash with them and unless you have something different or very special it's a hard market place now. I have a new Crafter cruiser bass for sale here for what is peanuts, and it won't sell for almost half of its RRP and it's perfect in every way. Same with the Cort Action also on here.

Just to echo all the above, I've done another deal with Bob for my artisan and the same fast payment and great communication. Hope you enjoy it Bob, thanks again. Tom.

This is my Fender Strat, crafted in Japan around 2005/6. I have to sell all of my guitars now because I can't play any more due to arthritis. This is in outstanding, unmarked condition, not a mark or blemish anywhere I can see. There is no fretwear either. Specification: Body Ash Neck Maple one piece, Soft V profile, 324mm Scale Fretboard Maple, 184mm/7.25in Radius Frets 21, Vintage Style Nut Width 42mm Pickups Custom Shop 50s (U.S.A.) x3 Control&Switch 1 Vol, 2 Tone, 5 Way Switch Bridge Steel block Vintage Machine Heads Kluson style Hardware Chrome Pickguard 1-Ply White Ash is a wonderful tone-wood and this guitar has a nice, lively, well defined acoustic tone and resonance. Plugged in the sound is pure vintage Strat; clear as a bell with that wonderful 'out of phase' type tone in positions 2 and 4. This guitar has Fender US Custom Shop 50s pups - you won't get closer to the classic early-Strat sound - the pickups are superb. This guitar also comes with a steel tremolo block, which adds that little extra zing and sustain. This is my absolute favourite of the maple fret board Strats. It is a model they do not make any more... unfortunately. Here you have classic Strat style and sound, superb condition and at a very reasonable price bearing in mind that the US Custom Shop version would cost at least twice the amount! I want £550 for this. It's what I paid for it and it's been hardly used. There is no case with it but it will be in a gigbag and packed very securely. Delivery £20.

Hi all, this is my Precision Lyte, it's a 1993 model and it is in amazing condition for its age. In dark red with gold fittings it looks stunning, there is no fretwear at all. It is also fitted with gold straplocks which will be included. There are one or two very small marks but you'll have to hunt for them as they're not really photographable. (wow, big word huh) There is a small chip on the headstock but that's it. It has a lightened profiled body and it is very easy to hold and is in no way tiring. The electronics are active only, featuring master volume, pan, bass boost/cut and treble boost/cut. The electronics work as they should and run quietly producing a wide range of tones from fat bass to slap. I am selling because I now have a MIJ Precision that weighs about the same. This will come in a gigbag and will be very securely packed. I want £340 delivered for this because of its condition and the new Ritter gigbag. No trades on this, sorry. Thank you for looking. PS sorry about the dust speckles I forgot to wipe them off :blush:

Last reduction. Now £135 delivered, that is less than trade price for a new Action bass! If it doesn't sell at this silly price, I'll donate it to a good cause.

Hi all, I have just bought an MIJ Precision and am not impressed with its output, it seems quite low. I've checked the wiring and it seems ok so I'm going down the route of a new pickup. I'm very impressed with Wizard jazz pickups so I'm going for either a Thumper or the Area 51 stealth bomber. Anyone had experience of either? I do like a lot of bottom end but I also like to be able to lighten it off a bit too. Any comments or advice very welcome

Without pictures it doesn't exist

PENDING SALE: Fender 50's Precision, Reissue.

Pm'd I'll have it. -
Check out this guy too. [url="http://www.fareastguitars.co.uk/"]http://www.fareastguitars.co.uk/[/url]

Mine just arrived, an ebay purchase. 1989 dark red with gold fittings and absolutely mint condition. Very well cared for too. Can't believe how light it is after my other fenders. It has black nylon strings fitted and consequently there is no fretwear at all! I can't cope with them so it'll be getting restrung pretty quickly.

I have the same problem! I've just bought a Jap P bass from 1993: this one: [url="http://www.fareastguitars.co.uk/usedpb1.htm"]http://www.fareastguitars.co.uk/usedpb1.htm[/url] It weighs 7.7 lbs! light as a feather after my US models so they are out there if you search a bit. I'm also waiting for a Fender P bass Lyte to arrive that I bought off ebay.
