    Back last year I spotted a Martin D-45 for £900 on London Craigslist and Gumtree. Further enquiries revealed guitar in Orkney, not London. Fine, said I, I'll hop up and have a looka nd give you cash if all ok. Never heard FA after that. Some of these c****s are well dumb.

    [quote name='captain black' timestamp='1336774417' post='1651039'] Stacker, Sorry mate, I missed your earlier post. What's the story on this one? What's original and what's not? Joe [/quote] Was once Jetglo but came to me in a natural-finished, gummed-up mess with a small resin(!!) fill on the rear of the cresting wave All this was hidden from me by the Yank dealer. Anyway, I had a couple of oil/wax finished basses at the time and sanded back. The bridge was exhibiting a lot of tail-lift, so I swapped that one out for a 7-screw 4003 model; I also swapped the rear pup out for a horsie reissue and jumped the rear cap, as most folk do. Neck/rods all ok, though the first inlay protrudes a little bit, obviously an old injury from when the neck was incorrectly set at some poing in the past. A refret would bring this bass up to a gigagble condition and my sale price reflects that.

    [quote name='molan' timestamp='1336762225' post='1650806'] Ah Donny what are you doing to me eh? I often think I'd like a nice old Ricky kicking around for those days when i want to grab a pick & play old Jam & Yes songs [/quote] Come on then, Barrie; the refret can wait if that's all you want her for! Very slim and smoooth neck. And that horsie n toaster together....

    It just don't get why Fender called it the '62, for by that time the VVT circuit was well in use by then. They have also done away with the bridge grounding strap and, for all I know as I've never been under the hood of the newer ones, the resistors and pup/control cavity grounding plates.And for the coin they charge, they should shove all that back in [i]plus[/i] the clay dots!

    [quote name='LukeFRC' timestamp='1336683660' post='1649592'] wow, did they want you to pay the postage too? What else you got your eye on? you are a man of good bass taste [/quote] Don't wanna go into it, Luke. Rick's Fine's '58 build is defo on my radar, though that will probably go very quick. Plus, I've go my eye on some TC gear. I just want shot of all the Ricks; got enough basses for now, anyway, as the one below just arrived from Oz.

    [quote name='LukeFRC' timestamp='1336677858' post='1649468'] people low ball you at that price???? [/quote] Yeh, an ebay f***head last week. I think I'm cutting my nose off reducing this, but there are other things I've got my eye on.
  12. Stacker
    Back up. Need to shift this, guys.
  13. Stacker
    Ok, so the man emails me. As expected, new nut and a re-fret, but the pots have been changed, too! Anyway, pipe-dream bass at that price, and overpriced with it, IMO.
  14. Stacker
    I want this, badly! Not had a P for about 16 years but after seeing the recent Ishibashi '58 and now this more affordable one - in better nick, I might add - I got GAS bad!! Time to float the old Rick 4001 yet again!
  15. Stacker
    Sweet!!
  16. Stacker
    I'd edit your pix to crop off the headstock, Stevie. Don't want John Hall n Oates on your back!!

    Ok, something new landed on the mat this morning and I've got too many fretless Jazzes at the mo, so one has to go. This one is a bitsa. The body is a relic'd Wilkie Vintage body - most probably Basswood - with the Jaco influence and has Wizard pickups and a Wilkie bridge with brass saddles. Add to that a lovely Warmoth fretless Jazz neck with some nice flame and birdseye on the back and is fitted with Wilkie forward gear tuners. Standard Jazz nut width but a slightly rounder profile, almost like that of a Nash. Tiny bit of a gap on bass side (around 1mm or so) but given that it's a knoc-up, it's no worse than I've seen on some MMs and '70s Fenders. Strung with Warwick Reds. No case. looking for £370 shipped mainland UK. No trades or swaps, thanx.

    They don't look that bad to me. Saddle height is mean to (roughly) follow the radius of the fingerboard but, as with all things instrumental, it's all subjective.

    [quote name='Doctor J' timestamp='1336319246' post='1643937'] They clearly don't need to with this one [/quote] Oh, I think they should! Anyway, just emailed them about it. I'm not really a P man but that is something else!
  21. Stacker
    Yeh, I know; I've bought several basses offa them. Just think they shouls offer a bit more of a pitch.

    Whilst not part of this thread, I must admit to being a victim of shill bidding - orchestrated by a guy I knew!! Sure, I couldn't really prove it but hear this out. I sold this fella my old Steiny XL2A at one point and he disappeared off teh radar. Ten years later, he popped up on ebay to flog it. He had it starting at £400 and, natch, I stuck in something considerably above that. I also emailed him and, since I knew him, asked him what he expected to realise for it. He said £600, which I offered right away but he correctly said he'd like to let the auction run. So I sat up one night in the last few minutes, bidding against someone. In those few miuntes, the auction jumped up £50 at time, ramping up to the £100 mark in the final seconds. I won the auction at £1500 - quiet above what I expected to pay at that time - and decided to have a look at the one ebayer who had been bidding against me. When I checked all his auctions, all his sales and purchases seemed to be of mobile phones and their accessories. I was quite convinced that the seller had colluded with someone in ramping up the price of the bass and when I met him, in person, a few days later, I jocularly asked if I was bidding against one of his mates, to which he just hummed and hawed and feigned indifference.

    I like a natural finish if the grain is allowed to come through, which usually means a stain, then sanded back again. I'm not really a P-bass fan but there was a nice one floating around Edinburgh in the late '80s that had been stripped back and given an oil finish. Think it was a '69 and I tried to buy it a couple of times but no go.
