  1. Absolutely stunning, "THE" P One day
  2. Pedant alert. Fenix were made in Korea. And superb instruments they were/are.
  3. Hmm, Happy Jack, hmm, HJ, hmm JH
  4. [quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1369221497' post='2086411'] From a purely Grammar Nazi point of view, it's not actually possible to increase a reputation ... [/quote] GrammarWaffen and RickenWaffen in the same week
  5. [quote name='Wolverinebass' timestamp='1369219299' post='2086365'] But that was because the tail lift was a "registered trademark." Not to mention the intonation and saddle adjustment problems. But hey, come on, that's worth paying for isn't it?!! [/quote] And the odd fretboard flying off , the Blue Boy stain, and a big problem with the 4004's that I can't remember
  6. [quote name='Rich' timestamp='1369220013' post='2086379'] That'd be 19,999. At least one person thinks JH is the good guy in all this [/quote] C'mon Rich, 'fess up
  7. It would be so much easier to take if Mr. Hall backed off private, individual sales of 60's/70's/80's made basses. It's making private people suffer for buying something that was legitimate at the time. I wonder how long Mr. Hall will continue to hack off an element of over 20,000 bass players in our little tin pot land
  8. Clown alert
  9. A bad week. RIP Trevor.
  10. Fabulous, fantastic bass. I'm as surprised at you selling this Andy, as I am at myself for selling my Special. Strange times. Karl.
  11. Stunning bass. Despite my efforts to get down to three basses, if my Yamaha goes I am going to find this VERY hard to resist
  12. [quote name='greyparrot' timestamp='1369067786' post='2084484'] i dont normally comment on sales treads unless i have an interest (which i don't) but this is a silly price for one of these beasts.... some1 is gonna get a great deal here.... good luck but i dont think this will need it!....ahh hang on thought it was the other attitude... none the less a nice looking bit of kit. [/quote] Yup, I'm kinda trying to point out at all posts that this is the Special, not one of the 3 LTD series . That's why it's not around £1000.
  13. In response to questions here and elsewhere 1.The video. We are doing a festival later in the year. Of all the bands on, we were the only one without any kind of video. The organisers asked us to do one for their site. 2. The scratchplate is not original. The original was in Aurora Projects when they went bust. This is a quality custom made (Richie Tomson Guitars) replacement. 3. I will consider shipping abroad, however, NO PAINPal, money must clear my bank account first. Buyer must arrange their own courier and insurance. I have shipped to Italy and Poland. Both were a nightmare (one "got lost " at an airport for THREE weeks) so I am reluctant. Everything answered I think. Cheers, Karl.
  14. I'm currently at 4. Had bad GAS for last 3 years due to this place I want to get down to 3, although I only need 2. I always gig with a spare on it's stand,simply to speed up a change if I break a string. I did exactly that a month ago, first string I 've broken live for over 30 years

    Sold

    I think White Cloud may be looking for one of these?
  16. The fret board inlays are the same as on the expensive LTD's, just the top frets are not scalloped. Other differences to the LTD series are no d-tuner, no twin inputs and the pick ups are generic Yamaha, not DiMarzio's. Still extremely powerful. These actually seem to come up less frequently than the more expensive LTD's. Pushing £700 cheaper than most LTD's seem to go for, they are not a bad deal . Of course a buyer could break out the Dremmel, change the pups, route out/put in second input and put on a d-tuner, probably for less than £700
  17. Aw shucks fellas, very kind. Below link to a "showcase" video recorded live. Select HD. Mix is somewhat none bass friendly but you can just about hear it. The video also appears to stick somewhat. But you can see what this poor old workhorse has been subjected to over 500 times http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UqXzSj3qLx4&feature=player_embedded
  18. NOT A LTD 1, 2, OR 3. IF it was it would be £1000 plus I was never going to sell this. Previous owner did about 400 gigs with it, I've done about 150. Somebody was asking for one and decided more than anything, now I have the Warwick, this is simply not going to get used. Lots of little scratches, one major ding. Just over 9lb, 39mm nut. Woofer at neck, P in middle, controls (from neck backwards) woofer vol, woofer tone, P volume. At some stage it has had a Hipshot drop tuner. That's gone but the holes are still in the back of the headstock. Back of the neck is discoloured by sweat. Paint worn through both sides of body where your right arm rests. Sounds from almost double bass to very snarly growly. Unlike the expensive Attitude, no scallops or twin inputs. 5000 made in 1995, most never left Asia, the RRP of these in UK in 1995 was £600. Signed by Billy front and back, although it is fading. £320 collected from Wigan, £340 couriered, sorry, no PAINPal. Cleared cheque, cash on collection or bank transfer only. UK only and no trades on this thanks. Thanks for looking, anybody close enough more than welcome to come and try. My feedback linked in red below.

  19. [quote name='Mickeyboro' timestamp='1368826431' post='2082153'] Oh b%^*#y h$¥€!!! [/quote] Language! Could it be that Bedside Manners Are Extra? Coat being got as I type.
  20. Hard luck Martyn, he will accept courier if sorted by buyer (his Q and A bit below the ad)
  21. [quote name='Geek99' timestamp='1368642079' post='2079688'] Not if you're using the mobile version I'm sorry to be picky but I think it's a highway 1, not a (later) highway one ? [/quote] Wait until you get home then Bump.
  22. He's in Grantham in Lincolnshire, it says so just below his non-photo Have a bump Rich
  23. [quote name='simon1964' timestamp='1368602783' post='2078960'] The colour is certainly not original. The jazz pickup is not original. The lack of markers on the fretboard is highly suspicious - the seller's suggestion that it may have been fretless originally doesn't ring true to me. Pictures of the pots will undoubtedly show that they're not original - they can't be because of the added pickup. And for the same reason the pickguard cannot be original as 70s Fenders only had two knob guards. At best you might have a few bits of a 70s P but it's not worth very much IMO [/quote] Good grief, I was pretty much right then. Not like me!
  24. Aw shucks Dingus, you are too kind
  25. Good move chaps. As you were.
