  1. Don't care what it is, it looks gorgeous to me . Thank God it's not in Britain or I would be in trouble again!
  2. DHL appear to have misplaced an Aerodyne Fede has bought off me. Pissed off. So far this week Tax Office, Yorkshire Bank Finance, Wilds of Radcliffe and DHL have managed to bollocks things up, leaving me to sort it all out. I haven't got the life expectancy. Why can't businesess do what they are f***ing paid for . Karl.
  3. Well done and enjoy!!!!!!!!!!! Karl.
  4. I would certainly be up with a start offer of £480 the pair, cash collected, it's the 400 mile round trip that's stopped me . For crying out loud somebody buy them! Karl.
  5. Wish they made a 4 string.
  6. Thanks Fat Rich, Python's fish slapping dance still cracks me up after all these years . Nigel, I will be catching no barbel over 5lbs, it seems to be the law (although have broken that law a couple of times . Karl.
  7. I don't like slap. Nowadays I play in a pub covers band. All Right Now has a bassline punters expect so I am not going to do hammers, pulls, triplets, blah. We don't actually do All Right Now, but you get the picture? I am part of a team of 4 blokes that play gigs to entertain punters and ourselves. So, each to their own. PS Nigel, July 16th, 1 week Barbel bashing on the Severn . Karl.
  8. [quote name='Jondeeman' post='1292430' date='Jul 4 2011, 05:00 PM']Totally agree that it's a waste of time posting this way on "The Bay". The assumption that it's hot, and that the seller hasn't got a clue what they're offloading is probably right. Here's one that caught my eye earlier.... [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BC-Rich-Bass-/190551685393?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item2c5dc3f911"]BC Rich[/url] I don't claim to be an expert of BC Rich guitars, but could anyone tell what it is FFS?!?!?![/quote] Posted with ebay mobile as he ran out the door of the house he'd just turned over??? (joke Mr Solicitor!)
  9. Anybody wanna swap my 3 basses for a tambourine? Seriously though, fantastic, many thanks. Karl.
  10. Sold my Aerodyne to Fede. He guided me through my 1st international transaction. Top fella, cheers Fede, Karl.
  11. Yeah, good call, there's pretty much always some such item on. Somewhere to verbally pillory them would be good, it's frustrating seeing something you may be interested in, at a piss take price. Karl.
  12. Go into the link below and search Hondo, good luck, Karl. [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=270"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=270[/url]
  13. On Hold, cheers Fede, you are a gent! Karl.
  14. [quote name='Shaggy' post='1281442' date='Jun 24 2011, 08:05 PM']You need to buy this off me mate......... Seriously though, that Gretsch is absolutely lush.[/quote] Off topic, is that a Red Gibbo Explorer? . (No, I can't afford it). I had me a white one for about 15 years, loved it, sold it for £400 to a mate. I think I have evolved into a dickhead!
  15. [quote name='gub' post='1280124' date='Jun 23 2011, 08:34 PM']They look v cool , can you feel them at all?[/quote] Nope, you can't feel them. Stupidly easy to fit. They also peel off leaving no residue , if you want to remove them. Catch light in all sorts of ways. Silddx (Nigel) put me on to them, big thanks to him. Only thing I would do different next time is just remove the A and D strings when fitting, rather than all 4 strings. Loads of designs, was very tempted by Ying/Yang dots to be honest, but, 70's jazzes, bound, blocks, what can I say . Karl.
  16. I am a cheat. Not fretless, but my Aerodyne has imitation blocks on, so I know where I am. About £13 delivered from good ol US of A, very quickly at that. [url="http://www.ccinlays.com/"]http://www.ccinlays.com/[/url] Karl.
  17. If the gain is too distortiony???? for you, have a look in the thread in repairs etc, look for Happy Jack's how to change the valves on an Orange Terror. The thread is pinned. I did this to mine for £28 including postage, and what a difference!!!! Just a thought, Karl. edited now I've thought of linking it . [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=134869"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=134869[/url]
  18. Congratulations, gorgeous (er, not you obviously). The work you put into your collection does you proud. Karl.
  19. You'll be sorry when you want a 1.75 x.64 brass screw and nobody else in the world has one . Karl.
  20. Further PM's replied to. Had offers up to £400, but that was including courier. Not going to do that, wife want's a bass selling, not me . If a trade comes about, I'll just tell her the one I get will be easier to sell on ( and then "struggle" to sell it). Anyway, firm £400 collected, £430 insured, delivered. £749 new and it only has 3 or 4 tiny dints (one on the front). See my feedback link in the 1st post. Would you sell it for any less? Cheers, Karl.
  21. So glad that's 5 strings and I struggle with 4 or I would be getting in trouble (again). Best of luck, Karl.
  22. Sorry Mods if this is in the wrong place. The company below have the world's worst web site but what they stock is incredible (in terms of nuts, bolts,m screws etc). Recently they have been the ONLY place where I could get the following: 1. Correct length/diameter bridge saddle screw for Japanese '75 re-issue, Even Allparts don't have them. 2. Hex headed tiny screw for the INSIDE the shaft of the tuners on my Attitude Special. Absolutely brilliant place. Charged me £1 for the 4 tiny hex screws and gave me another 4 the same, with Phillips head, just in case. Karl.

  23. [quote name='Beedster' post='1276616' date='Jun 21 2011, 07:35 AM']And here it is (crap pics, better later) [attachment=83204:DSCN0025.JPG] Martin Simms custom Jazz neck, ebony board, stunning birdseye maple; Seymour Duncan SPB-3 Quarterpounders, Badass II, very nice early 90's Squier Precision body (CAR?). It sounds how it looks, rock 'n' roll [/quote] That is fantastic Chris. 1st dibs (did I really write that?) if it comes up for sale. Karl.
  24. Think he just got this one BurritoBass
