  1. Daz has just taken possesion of my Schro. Comms were great, he was very decisive and put himself out to come and get it. Absolute pleasure to deal with, fully recommended and a real nice guy to boot. Enjoy Daz, pleasure to meet you. All the best, Karl.
  2. Just bought Si's Alembic. Can't believe I now own an Alembic. Easiest deal ever, threw a top class strap in and let my ogle his Overwater, which is stunning! Absolute joy to deal with, it doesn't get easier. Thanks for everything Si and see you soon. Cheers, Karl.
  3. 17,000 posts is an amazing contribution and somewhere in that lot somebody has to take offence, just on the sheer numbers. They should have been thanking you for your vast contribution. I have had a couple of spats with members here because I am a huge believer in treating people with respect and dignity. It's up to them to lose that, but when they do, they may well get it both barrels. Basschat is an amazing place, amazingly run by the mods and amazingly respected by the vasy majority of it's members. Now,back to OT AGAIN please
  4. 3 hours This isn't a triple dip recession, it's a great depression!
  5. "Out of 20000... there may even be a murderer or two!" I've got an alibi guv "We're only (just) human after all". Nah, kidding, Mods do a fantastic job for us
  6. [quote name='4 Strings' timestamp='1359757155' post='1960089'] It IS 3eq No, 4 Strings didn't buy it, he already has a black one with a maple neck. He'd like to have this one too but couldn't justify it and so is really wasting our time by making any comment at all on this thread. [/quote] Best use for it seeing as how the original owner of the thread can't be arsed
  7. OK, so I'm in the wrong about flipping, I have a choice not to buy, I'm not going to get an original 53 P for the £150 or whatever it cost in 1953. My bugbear is somebody buying a P on FEEBay for £665 and putting it on here the next day at £1000. His 7th such move in a year. That is tantamount to trading and sorry, I find it a bloody insult. I certainly don't ask for mates rates. If it's just above what I think something is worth, I will offer a little below. If it's what i would be happy to pay, I will pay that. Thank Christ at long last I am almost GAS free (I need to get back to 4 basses before she twigs my world didn't end at three) Mean while, back at how long would you wait?
  8. [quote name='4 Strings' timestamp='1359730472' post='1959526'] He didn't say so I thought we'd go without the middle ground! Rosewood neck, case, not a mark etc. Good for £600. Jealous now. [/quote] It's in the title of his ad, Stingray 4, 3 eq. Please tell me I'm right and I'm going no more insane , than usual
  9. Next in line for a chat Mr. Nose please PM'd.
  10. Well slap me silly and call me Mable! But, er, did he say 3eq and is that one, er, 2eq
  11. [quote name='phsycoandy' timestamp='1359715883' post='1959131'] This is so melancholy i'm quite depressed now, here for a fragment of time now lost to the life that is bassrob, and still no pics. [/quote] Come on that man, we're British dont you know. Shoulders back, chest out and onwards
  12. [quote name='Fuzzbass2000' timestamp='1359710819' post='1959028'] Might be talking at cross purposes here... for sure there are OW + RW 70s (PB70) Fender Japan p-basses which they've been making since the mid 90s. One of mine's got the body of one. but then a couple of years or so back Fender US issued a 70s p-bass (Classic Series) which came in TSB / OW + Maple + Blocks. Think the original run was Japanese and then it looks like they switched to Mexico. [size=4][url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/151422-new-from-dv247-fender-mij-70s-precision/page__hl__70s+white+precision__fromsearch__1"]http://basschat.co.u...__fromsearch__1[/url] Good old Fender.. too many models [/size] [/quote] Absolutely spot on. Hopefully in the following link is one that was sold earlier. Confirmation the original run late2011/early2012 were Crafted in Japan. It's about post 3 or 4.

  13. [quote name='4 Strings' timestamp='1359713992' post='1959083'] Shame, he seems to have gone. Good price and interested parties (even if I'm too thick to work out who is who). Maybe he's now sold it and so that was his life on here. Leaves us all still here. Wondering what a honeyburst Stingray looks like. And its official case. oh well. [/quote]
  14. Sorry to be dim, but where was this made and how would one tell?
  15. Sorry Tricky, as per my pm yesterday evening. Is it Mexican or Japanese please? Is it still for sale? If it is Japanese and comes with the hardcase, as per my pm, I would like to buy it please. I will happily cash/collect from Stockport. Cheers, Karl.
  16. Bugger, when did they switch production to Mexico in these? They were Japan PM'd at 9.17, er, pm
  17. [quote name='lurksalot' timestamp='1359664099' post='1958558'] Why don't you go round his recent posts start quoting them and asking for some attention , he may get the hint if he is following some threads , it probably is a bit dodgy forum ettiquette , but might just kick something into life [/quote] The bad guy deserves dodgy forum ettiquette. There's a bloke on here flipping two basses at an attempted profit over his buying prices of £800+ That is bad enough. THIS LENGTH OF TIME to get a bass sent is not bad enough, it is totally UNACCEPTABLE. Name and let him explain!
  18. Any chance of some more photos if you srill have it? Very interested, but not going to fork out on that one photo I'm afraid. The following link is an example of a good advert, http://basschat.co.uk/topic/196748-yamaha-bb414-in-beautiful-orange-metallic-mint/ Cheers, Karl.
  19. [quote name='tricky' timestamp='1359398618' post='1954213'] WOW.. I need to spend more time on here.. ! [/quote] I don't and I still missed it
  20. [quote name='yorks5stringer' timestamp='1359507354' post='1956040'] £20 delivery, I've just posted a Bass in a proper box for £7.50 [/quote] Is that with insurance? I find Interparcel as cheap as that, until you put the insurance on.
  21. Fantastic Loz, Alembic at Fender price and weight I'm only a couple of hundred quid short, off to the off-license for me I think
  22. As per post one, long gone, sorry.
  23. Our drummer is outside waiting for the AA man because he has a puncture and removing the virtually welded on alloy is beyond the strength of the 4 of us. But that was last night. Brilliant vid, cheers for that
