  1. 5th amendment pleaded Andy. Sold, thanks all
  2. Cheers Dunc, it is indeed a fine bass. Far from cosmetically perfect but a damn good versatile gig machine. I'm hoping to give the saddles a WD40 bath this weekend, and put the string spacing so they are over the poles. There are 3 (between here and FB) close to pulling the cash trigger, but I can't get it sent out today. Not sending it out tomorrow as it would be in a couriers warehouse over the weekend. So all 3 know it's Mon for Tues. All further PM's have been replied to, thanks for looking, Karl. EDIT. Thankfully now on hold, my poor one typing finger's getting tired
  3. Many thanks Gareth and Ollie, appreciated . All PM's now replied (phew, smokin' keyboard). Between here and FB I've had 7 offers of trades since this went up. Sorry folks but this one has got to be a sale I'm afraid. Thanks for looking and all the offers, cheers, Karl.
  4. Only selling as have managed to end up with 3 P/J's Model no 013-5702- 306 Short lived Mex P/J (1999/2002) built between California Series and Mex Deluxe Active. This is not a Mex standard, more one of the top of the range Mex's at the time. This is a passive bass with a P body, Jazz neck and P/J pups. Think this is the 3rd to come up in the last 15 months, although last one was in January. Precision body, jazz neck, (1.5" nut) P/J pups, gold coloured anodised plate, 20 med jumbo frets, std AlNiCo pups, Vol/Vol/Tone, US electronic components, American Vintage P Bass bridge. 8.5lbs. Issues, some headstock chips, bit of thumb wear on plate, some "certain light " scratches on the back, couple of hard to photo dinks,some rusty screws and the saddles, whilst fully adjustable, have a bit of rust on them. This bass is in good condition for a 14 year old bass that has been gigged, all dinks, rusty bits etc are above. ANY BIG paintwork issue you think you can see are none existent, it's my photography I'm afraid. Recent set up with new Status Premium roundwounds. Tremendously well made Mex bass with a good rep. Lots of reviews online, an example thread follows where they have a mention (some not quite positive, but ther ya go).

  5. As alluded to by the guys above, no such thing as the same bass. Same model, yes, same bass, no. That's why a lot of folk ask for the weight of a bass for sale. Especially us older gits who've had basses on our shoulders for 40 or more years
  6. @ lojo "Agreeing to gigs, or not is always a choice up front" Not if 3 out of 4 members do it then present as a fait acomplis. Leave the band you say? I did.
  7. Love these. I'll pay for my fuel in a couple of weeks then. Fully understand it, but as ever, it sh*t's on the bands
  8. Steve, does it come with the original gig bag? For God's sake, somebody buy this, it's only 4 miles from me and it's killing me
  9. Allright you comedians, no, I haven't bought it. Yet Nowt will happen re courier until Tuesday. Doing all that IBAN stuff, well that usually takes 3 days for payment to clear to Europe and that's without 2 bank holidays chucked into the mix. So I'm guessing it would be cleared prob Wed/Thurs of coming week. I keep hoping to see it sold so I don't have to arse about with all that. Now THAT'S lazy
  10. Yeah, the 75 RI is interesting with people putting them out £1100/£1250, even if some of those are the recent FSR which was presumably released to get rid of the last 75 RI's, after the 74's had been released. Statistically on here, the 75's go for £800/£900, as in actually SELL at those prices. A natural on FEEBay last week didn't get a bid at it's £850 start price. So he's relisted it at £1000 BIN A lovely natural with Rosewood 'board has been up at £950 since late last year. It's on here at £850 and still hasn't sold. One thing I have noticed in general is that sellers from the EU seem to ask a bit more for their basses than similar basses have gone for. But as we all know anybody can ask what they like.
  11. Enjoy Kev and have a great couple of days
  12. Enjoy it Kev, have a blast.

    I really enjoy dealing with Martin, it's simply a laugh from start to finish. Always has great gear, well looked after and a joy to deal with. As 9 pages testify And boy, that TM Stevens Deal with top type confidence, you will find no better, all the best Martin.
  14. [quote name='kevvo66' timestamp='1458907965' post='3012026'] I hope it sells sells very quickly , because I can't control myself anymore and I'll end up buying it myself , I need to step away from the iPad [/quote] [quote name='lou24d53' timestamp='1458908136' post='3012028'] ^^ Yip, I'm exactly there too...... [/quote] Can't do much about it being sent out until Tuesday boys
  15. Put up as it's the only one I've got that's near the funds required. Trying to fund the Ida . If the Ida goes quickly this is likely to be taken down. Finished in 2011 in USA, original purchaser bought it in 2012. I bought it off him a few weeks back for £1000. Active/passive in excellent condition. As ever with black there are tiny "certain light" scratches, that do need that certain light, and close up inspection, to see. Weight is 8lb 14oz so it's no heavyweight. Complete with the splendid "TV Logo". Whilst there are one or two of these still available new as "sell downs", they have now been replaced by the Elite which is selling around £1600. Currently the middle pick up is a Geezer Butler EMG (around £90) BUT the original pick up is also included in the sale, as is the original big rectangular hard case, Fender logo'd. The jazz pup is the original noiseless. Whilst it's a fund raiser, weak as I am, I would not be averse to a swap for AV63 P, AV 64J or one of the recent Hot Rod series. Payment would need to be cash collected, bank transfer or cleared cheque, sorry, no PAINPal. Happy to meet up, no extra charge, between just north of Brum, Carlisle, Leeds Courier, well, it's an expensive bass in a big case, so insured, UK, would be around £45. Feedback at bottom of post. Any trial in Wigan welcome, any questions welcome, many thanks for looking, cheers, Karl.

  16. Right, you turned me down, pah You have forced me into putting my American Deluxe P up for sale to purchase this particular beauty. Off to photo it is then young starman
  17. Really surprised this is still here Ash, 'av a bermp.
  18. Lump to throat for me, Whitney's I will always love you Bangles Eternal flame
  19. Weight, well, ask any female friend/relative, one of them will have luggage scales. Piece of string, hankie, whatever, hang bass off scales. Lovely bass but it's a 400 mile trip for me, others much further. As a pose to £30 fully insured courier. Lovely bass, good luck.
  20. Lovely bass. Only bit of info you have missed (for some of us ) is an accurate weight?

  22. [quote name='gelfin' timestamp='1458682628' post='3009885'] I'm always happy on stage. [url="http://s970.photobucket.com/user/gelfin5959/media/5454_119420366233_706761233_2464116_2394269_n.jpg.html"][/url] [/quote] I would be smiling if I had a Chris
