    Someone requested some sound samples - https://www.dropbox.com/sh/rzs7pezlhrtjs88/AADZKl75j9x0m2KEPdHAHro8a?dl=0 Please excuse f*** ups and sloppiness... no gigs and very little practice for 10 weeks takes its toll!

    I must admit, surf green does really appeal. I have seen surf green and a tort scratch plate which looks great. It's such a risk though, with such a pricey instrument. I might have to get creative on Photoshop to visualise it!

    I am considering my options I must admit... I really want a funky solid colour though... Surf green or lake placid blue... Would it be sacrilegious to repaint this??

    Can't tempt you???

    It is... Seems a shame to let it go so cheap but needs must! Plus I think the current climate doesn't help. It was for sale in the Bass Gallery a while ago for £1500 so it is a bargain! 😜

    I have seen something I would like so would accept £1200 plus delivery...

    I just picked up a sunburst one of these and they are great US made precision basses for not much cash...

    Price.drop bump!

    I was after a YOB '76 Precision... But had to settle for a US made Highway 1... Saying that, it sounds like a P, plays like a P and with work minor work, will look like a mid 70s P! I gonna try and vintage up the maple on the neck with some amber tinted lacquer... No idea how that will turn out!

    Ha! It's the one thing I won't let go of now... I love that bass. So versatile, so playable. The GB is definitely on the same par, perhaps a bit more hifi... It's just the 35 scale I don't get on with... How are you mate? Still got your GB?

    To be honest if it doesn't go to a good home it will stay with me! Every time I look at the as I think ... " Is it the right thing?" Time will tell!! Glad it served you well!

    Trades???

    Cheers mate - it's a great bass and a pain that I'm not getting on with it. To be honest, if it doesn't sell I will give it more of a trial when gigs start back again... you never know! How's all with you in Norwich? Keeping yourself entertained?

    Have just bought some vintage amber nitro lacquer from Northwest Guitars... it looks to do what I want so will be a bit of an experiment! Hopefully this way, I can just get a bit of a key on the wood for the lacquer to stick and not remove the decal!

    I did think that if I wire wool / scotch pad the headstock, I could do it light enough to create a key for the clear coat to stick but not remove the decal? I suppose it's going to be trial and error really... I could always get a another decal if it does come off. I read somewhere that multiple coats of tru oil create a vintage look... could try that first?

    Some interest but nothing so this is very much available. A few questions I should have included in the description: Weight - a smidge over 9lb (this was calculated using bathroom scales so not 100% accurate) - it feels very similar to my Sei Jazz which is a shade under 9lb... I have included pics of the bridge spacing - 19mm and some enquired about pickup size so I have added those pics as well. Cheers!

    I have acquired a Precision highway 1... the body has a nice patina after 12 years but the neck has hardly been used (previous owner used a lakland neck on the bass...) I want to try and 'vintage' the neck up a bit... any advice? It's a rosewood board so I will just be doing the maple... it's just so pale... i don't mind a bit of work and it isn't my main bass... so! Tru Oil?? will it give me a vintage amber look? or do I need something else? I just want a tint of age, not full scale relic so don't want to go crazy. Will I have to remove the decal or can a work over it? Any advice would be much appreciated! Carl

    Probably both with my daughter... Bit of a trumpy bum she has!
  19. carlsim
    Yep.... The first of many!

      There's a good reason for never letting two year olds play with matches.

      Is it like a psychic connection, so if she farts at home but you’re down the shops you suddenly involuntarily laugh?

      When she's old enough she might learn how to possess them like Abe in Oddworld...

    How do I add status updates? I found a thread where someone mentioned you have to activate in your profile but I cannot seem to find anything in mine... Anyone?
  23. carlsim
    Any interest? - really looking for a trade - SR5 possibly with some cash or something interesting 34" scale of similar nature and value...
  24. carlsim
    No idea at the mo... I'm waiting for a new scratch plate so will have a look then...
  25. carlsim
    Can you change the pup covers on the basslines?? I'm intrigued to a black guard cream pup combo...
