    [quote name='ash' timestamp='1337514401' post='1661120'] Ha! Yes reasonable price all things considered, wonder how far it will go? If I hadn't just bought a '77 in similar condition I'd certainly have a punt at this - although I paid rather less for mine .

    What's the nut width Shonks? And the weight (save Tom from asking )

    Perfection. I remember lusting for this when you first go it. Now, I need to do 6 more gigs to top up my bass money to this level The 6th is July the 6th. Anybody wanting this, you have been warned and the clock is ticking . Oh, and bump.

Looking at his feedback he's bought a VM Neck, Squier body and Fender tuners in the last 12 months...... [/quote]

    Cheers Yorick, that's about what I thought, especially the rocketting bit .

    If the price doesn't go too daft may well have a punt on this Sid-a-like, but apart from the declared hossing about, what do you reckon folks? Ta, Karl. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/330733015318?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

    Alan has just bought a bass off me. He is a really lovely fella, and a REAL PROFESSIONAL musician. Yes, he makes his living at it. Respect ! Decisive, did what he said he would do and even managed to find me despite Basschat (and more importantly messages) being down. That was really impressive. My immense thanks for that. 5 other people were after this bass, all in various stages of waffling. Alan got on with it and bought it. Deal with utmost confidence. Enjoy Alan. all the best, Karl.

    Pie Jesu, Brightman and Miles-Kingston. CD on computer whilst doing invoices. Hawkwind next methinks. Great being your own gaffer

    Again in response to questions, recently had a full professional set up by Ritchie Thompson, Thompson Guitars, Wigan. Ritchie is a wizzard. This included new 45-105 Status Premium strings, new Switchcraft jack socket, action/intonation/pick up set up. Cheers, Karl.

    In response to questions, these were all Alder bodies. According to Fender forum most of Duck's legendary work was done on two 1958 Precisions, a maple board and a rosewood board. This is obviously based on the maple boarded one. One of these Japanese signature basses (presumably serial number 1 or 2 ) is glimpsed fleetingly in the hands of the Duck in The Blues Brothers film. Finally, yes, £550 in my eyes it's worth at least as much as a Geddy, or a Mexican 50's P bass. Cheers, Karl.

    [quote name='Coljbass' timestamp='1337013008' post='1653989'] Hey Karl mate! Yeah, gutted that it's come to this but moving abroad isn't cheap and I'm not using it. It's still in the same condition as when I got it from you. I hope all's well with you! [/quote] I would be well-er if I had £1300

    [quote name='andy67' timestamp='1337000777' post='1653733'] Did you swap through the Yamaha Attitude Facebook page? andy [/quote] Yup, with me Andy. He got that Blue Mark 1, I got Col's Purple X Anniversary. He's a top player and singist as well .

    The three who wanted to but this on Saturday appear to have lost interest . The great man himself apparently had Serial numbers 1 and 2 of this bass, (Fender forum) this is number 231 of 1000. All made in 1998. No gospel, but I did read somewhere that three special runs were made out of the same factory in 1998, the first Geddies, first Marcuses and the only run of these. Obviously the Lee and Millers are still produced to this day, the Duck's aren't! Hopefully a real Fender expert may be able to confirm what I think I read (or deny it, in which case I will remove this gut feeling). Cheers, Karl.

    Fantastic and gorgeous

    Last night was my first gig with my new (well, all new to me but all bits 6 years old) rig. 2 EBS NEO 212's and an EBS TD650 head. All much bigger than the mini power rigs I've gigged for the last couple of years. What a sound, what a difference. Absolutely adored it, great punch, clarity and much idiotic grinning. It's a compromise of course. I would love the 8 x 10's, as much as I would love the roadie and pantechnicon to go with them . Karl.

    Many thanks Gary. The gentleman in question has just tried similar tactics with a prominent member of the forum. That prominent member, being wiser than me, has cancelled the deal. I may be out of order, but judging from Mr. Piotrowski's wanted adverts, and the number of basses he is showing on gear porn, he may be a dealer of some description. The Kasuga he bought off me now appears to be sporting a white scratchplate and pick up surround as well as replacement pick up selector toggle.

    Know what you mean, one of the guys I work with lives in Inverness itself and it is always more expensive to send stuff to him by Paisley Freight, the only area they let me down in. Possibly they think a new time zone starts at Perth . I will certainly get quotes from Parcel Force if it does end up going there, (mind, I'm in Dunfermline on Tuesday ). Cheers, Karl.

    Thanks Hutton, wasn't aware of that. I will get quotes if needed, but I've always found Parcel Force to be more expensive and less reliable than Paisley Freight. Cheers, Karl.
