[quote name='Twigman' timestamp='1369145215' post='2085401'] I wonder what Mr Hall is doing about these: [url="http://www.musicstore.de/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/WFS/MusicStore-MusicStoreShop-Site/de_DE/-/EUR/ViewParametricSearch-SimpleOfferSearch?SearchParameter=%26%40QueryTerm%3D*%26CategoryUUIDLevelX%252F6OTVqHzpu7YAAAEZ63gtK5qL%252FsUPVqHzpVKQAAAEZOApFop40%3DHhnVqHzpNRgAAAEZwwlFop40%26CategoryUUIDLevelX%252F6OTVqHzpu7YAAAEZ63gtK5qL%3DsUPVqHzpVKQAAAEZOApFop40%26CategoryUUIDLevelX%3D6OTVqHzpu7YAAAEZ63gtK5qL%26ManufacturerName%3DCareer"]http://www.musicstor...erName%3DCareer[/url] [/quote] He won't do nuthin', as they say over there. The man might be trying to protect his firm's copyright but he's a bully. I'd call him a lot worse if I thought I'd get away with it but given that there's four guests reading this thread and California is just back from lunch I don't want the mods to get another missive from that bawbag!

[quote name='BassBus' timestamp='1368874129' post='2082494'] Not that I would ever advise working a way round something official like a Portable Appliance Test but have a look [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_trksid=p3984.m570.l1311.R2.TR10.TRC0&_nkw=pat+test+labels&_sacat=0&_from=R40"]here[/url]. [/quote] Some of those sellers are prepared to print initials and pass/next test dates on the labels?? LAbels aren't enough, anyway; they're only a brief visual record that the item has supposedly passed a test. Anyone wanting further clarification will ask for the full certificates and data dumped from the testing unit.

In A&B??

[quote name='Dr.Dave' timestamp='1368550327' post='2078425'] It's a right handed slab bodied Precision played by a left hander. Maybe it's a Fender and it looks like someone's stripped the paint off. Piece of sh*t to be honest. If you play left handed , buy a left handed bass. Aterall , I wouldn't buy a lefty and turn it upside down. Where's the sense in that? [/quote] I dunno, but I reckon the late Keith Ferguson (Fab T'birds) rocked an old P-bass the wrong way round.

Yeh, I fancy one, too! They do other colours: black,natural and maybe red. You just gotta search. My worry would be if the twin-neck arrived in bits but i think AliBaba uses an ESCROW-type payment service. Let's all buy one!!

Have a look at [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1973-Fender-Precision-Bass-BLACK-OVER-SUNBURST-Vintage-Electric-Guitar-1972-1970-/370813996264?pt=Guitar&hash=item56563c8ce8"]this[/url]. Seller says original condition. Was this 'Black over 3TSB' something that Fender regularly did back in the '70s? But, like Rick says, why do it over a '50s model.

Yep, don't get this colour, at all. Nash does a better relic, IMO.

Trade Tang and AliBaba have loads of basses like that, even a lush [url="http://www.aliexpress.com/item/RIC-Custom-Shop-2012-New-Twin-Neck-solid-maple-purpleElectric-Guitar/765000666.html"]double-necked fella[/url].

That is a hack-job worthy of Music-Outlet-Shop!

Folded horn cab, eh? Not much in the way of highs, then, though they had a long throw. Bet it sounds monster loud.

[quote name='Junkyard Rocket' timestamp='1367278618' post='2063719'] he should make it up to her by taking her up the oxo tower. [/quote] I've never heard that one before!!

I think the Vintage gear is great VFM. I really like that one withe burl maple top, the V100 - what a super bass for the money!

[quote name='Dingus' timestamp='1367269354' post='2063593'] On Mumsnet ? !! ! Seriously ? Subscribed ! [/quote] There's a lot of mentalists on that forum from what I've heard. This one I'm gonna follow!

Parcelforce does not offer any additional insurance on musical instruments and I only found that out by accident a couple of years ago when a Gibbo 335 I shipped to Spain went missing. It was eventually found sitting in a cage in an unused area of a warehouse. Check the 'Fragile' list of this link and remember the list:- [url="http://www.parcelforce.com/help-information/compensation-refunds-and-claims/items-we-exclude-compensation"]Exclusions[/url] IMO, those guys at UK Mail should be identified and sacked, if they haven't been already. What a shocking way to treat people's property, people who are, in effect, paying their wages! And I wasn't surprised to see evidence of petty theft taking place with regard to the bottles of fizz. In the industry's defence, though I must say that I never saw anything like that going when I did some agency work for a large UK courier firm back in the '90s. I was often there in the evening when the bulk deliveries came up from Coventry and all the ops on the sorting conveyor treated the items with care. And the full-time couriers all seemed to be concientious. I'll count myself lucky in that I've never had to claim on courier damage. Anyone got any real horror stories?

[quote name='seashell' timestamp='1367159392' post='2061890'] Yes, and we are just your innocent playthings, Skank. [/quote] I'm gonna run that Lovett/Lang gag past some of my muso mates!
