Be carefull of Bailey hats though, a lot of their styles are smaller than the label size!

    [attachment=79359:picbandp..._1181921.jpg][attachment=79361:picbandp...to419942.jpg] Ooh, hats, lovely! These two beauties came from Jill Corbett in Brighton, made to measure, and worn most of the time now, to keep the ever increasing baldy bits toasty.

    Hi all, We're playing in the Exeter suite after tonights game with Bath. Any of you South West boys (or girls!) going to the match, do come and say hi

    It's a shame that active is a no-no for you. I bought a fantastic American Jazz deluxe from bcbass last year, to use whilst my Pedulla had an ongoing problem that no one seemed to be able to sort, and it is still my bass of choice for most gigs now. You still get all the old school tone but with so much more besides. Oh, and it looks sooo good in candy tangerine!

    I've recently been regretting this one going since seeing a very cool picture of Klaus Voormann with one. This is a 2005/6 (memory is hazy) CIJ Blue Flower 54 RI. Again I believe this is still on Basschat although has again been sold on since I sold it. [/quote] Indeed it is still on here, although I think it's had at least 2 owners since your good self, before coming to me! It now has a Seymour Duncan quarter pounder fitted and some very bling peacock blue DR strings, is much loved and used everytime we go busking, as it gets loads of attention.

    I've some DR black beautys on my Pedulla Rapture fretless, look great, nice to play, and loads of cowey mooey mwah!

    Hugh Manson in Devon would be worth a call, or how about Steed basses, Wes is very good. I have basses built by both these guys and can't fault them. I've owned my Manson for longer than I care to remember!

    [quote name='Clarky' post='920593' date='Aug 10 2010, 12:58 PM']Great looking bass - nice work Wes! No spare spondoolies at present though (looking to raisemoney me'self from sales )[/quote] Too late now anyway Clarky! It arrived today and it really is the mutts nuts. Fantastic sound, feels right as soon as you pick it up, and looks the business. Had a quick go through my Barefaced T'vintage and SWR working pro 700 and I can't wait to get out and gig it, lovely vintage tone, but also enough trebly top if you need it to cut through, and with my band you need everything you can get! Only problem is Mrs P has now taken it away, as she bought it for my birthday, and thats not till early Jan. DOH! If any of you are after a good Vintage reproduction Wes is the man, the build quality and finish on this is fantastic, I really can't fault it. Nice one Wes, thanks again

    [quote name='wesfinn' post='922517' date='Aug 12 2010, 11:31 AM']Bass now sold!! Thanks for all of the lovely comments people! [/quote] And soon to be winging its way to Porkpie towers, lovely! Mrs P very kindly thought this would be a nice birthday pressie, though I'm going to have to wait till early Jan before I get me mitts on it, DOH! I think I'll be allowed to try it when it arrives though, and it's a great incentive to get out booking the gigs for next year. She's a diamond, my missus! Cheers Wes.

    [quote name='dirtylittleherbert' post='881613' date='Jun 30 2010, 08:58 AM']I would ship it its obviously large but not massively heavy, would you not prefer to arrange a courier? Or know the cheapest method to do it and I'll get a price?[/quote] I'm not going to be much help here, never had to ship anything that large! Maybe someone else on here can advise? I take it it's all working ok, no issues with the speaker, bearing in mind it's age?
  21. Porkpie
    Would you be prepared to ship it, and if so, how much to TQ13?

    [quote name='romanytony' post='855653' date='Jun 3 2010, 08:16 AM']Hi, I bought a Fender Jazz Deluxe in LA 3 years ago, now I am thinking of selling, it's in a hard case of course. Any ideas how much it's worth? As far as I can tell they cost new about £1300. My wife wants a new kitchen and I'm skint.[/quote] I bought bcbass's candy tangerine jazz deluxe at the end of April, and it's absolutely fantastic. I havn't gigged anything else since, even considering selling my fretted Pedulla Rapture as a result. If yours is half as good it will make someone very happy. pm me if you want to know what I paid.

    [quote name='Jerry_B' post='846052' date='May 23 2010, 09:30 PM']Personally, I'd kill for a black unlined fretless P![/quote] Not wanting to hijack the thread so treat it as a bump, but Mansons in Exeter have a black one. Personally, I prefer the look of Clarky's!

    Hey Tom, sorry to hear of your troubles. Not in the market for anything at the moment, but I bought a bass from Tom early this year, and to anyone thinking of buying, go ahead with confidence. He's a top bloke to deal with and in my experience very straight with all the detail and description on his basses. Good luck with these sales geez.
