    Hi Fretmeister and thanks for letting me know. I live in Wigan so unfortunately it's a long trek. Best of luck, Karl.

    For Gawd's sake somebody buy this. Do you have any idea how far I would have to travel from my mud hut/cobbled roof house in Wigan, to Kent. Have you any idea how much more I am tempted each day?

    Sorry. I have probably missed it, but where are you based please. I may be interested in the Ampeg. Cheers, Karl.

    A Geddy for 250 Euros? Aye, right.

    Christmas '73. Futurama jazz copy, £10. Plank with strings from newspaper round. Went downstairs for my pressies and Ma and Pa had sold organs to buy me a second hand Marshall 20(yes, twenty) watt valve stack. Well, matching head and 1x15. Saw one exactly the same on evil bay last year, starting price £2000. Oops!

    Last November I went for my 1st audition for well over a decade, at the age of 51. Twenty years older than the rest of the band. I got it. Then about 2 months ago I was contacted by a really good covers band. Went for the audition (one of 7 bassists), got it. Only 10 years older than these wonderful guys. All this (plus other offers) because I put my details up on Forming Bands. If you need to, have a little break, but keep looking. You owe it to all the effort you have put in over the years. One joyous punter makes it all worthwhile. Good luck whatever you decide.

    Sadly I was the "letting down" one in the band I left 6 weeks ago. My first band after a 5 year hiatus, only with them 3 months. I honoured all booked gigs, did the studio ep (and paid my quarter) and promised to give my notes and time to my replacement. I left because I was offered a 6 month paying dep job, 18 gigs (original bassist taking paternity leave???). It's also playing covers material that I adore. Sometimes, you just have to be an honest s**t.

    [quote name='BassBunny' post='801772' date='Apr 10 2010, 01:32 PM']Don't use ParcelForce, they are useless and expensive. There is a thread on Couriers and I always use Interparcel for UK and European Deliveries.[/quote] Unfortunately I can't take time off work (service rep) and none of the couriers have depots less than a 40 mile round trip for me. Parcelforce at least have a depot in my town. Oh, by the way, has this gone?

    Can you put some photo's up Stephen? Cheers, Karl.
  12. karlfer
    Hiya. Sorry to trouble but, 1. Any photo's? 2. Would you be willing to send via Parcelforce? Cheers, Karl. [quote name='ConnorHamilton' post='801246' date='Apr 9 2010, 08:51 PM']Bump Make me an offer, I need to money! Haha![/quote]

    [quote name='deaky' post='799476' date='Apr 8 2010, 08:46 AM']PRICE DROP BUMP £380 for head and cab. Looking for quick sale. Collection only please Cheers Deaky[/quote] No sweat, there's one on ebay that I'm going to offer £180 +£20 postage. Sure you appreciate 6 hours driving and £70 of fuel doesn't add up. Good luck, cheers, Karl. Oh, and bump again.

    [quote name='Mr. Foxen' post='797227' date='Apr 6 2010, 09:25 AM']Grrr. Diamond Head's.[/quote] Sorry. Metallica's version is what I obviously meant to write. Only because that's the version I do in the covers band I am currently in. I would love to turn up to this Saturday night's gig, at the Derby Arms in Colne, with that. Talk about Duelling Bango's.Not to mention two very nervous guitards.
  15. karlfer
    Love it's tacky-ness. Just the thing to belt out Metallica's Am I Evil?

    I traced an Epi Explorer bass serial number a while back and seem to remember U was the notaion for the Unsung factory and think the 1st two digits were the year. Could be completely wrong, memory, blah blah, memory, blah blah, mem.... Coat being got!

  18. karlfer
    Thanks Deaky. Sorry, just twigged no posting. 400 mile round trip so no go I'm afraid. Good luck, Karl.

    [quote name='Lostheplot' post='782256' date='Mar 22 2010, 12:27 AM']Would you consider splitting this if so how much for the Hartke head?[/quote] Yeah, same question from me. Thanks, Karl.

    Crackin Grommit, so tempted.

    I was after this bass but it was only for trade. I have a Highway 1 Jazz and gotta tell ya, it is probably the 2nd best Fender I have had, second only to the '74 jazz I had for 30 years. Good luck with the sale. Karl. Oh, er, bump.

    Oldgit's feedback

    karlfer replied to OldGit's topic in Feedback

    So, deal agreed Sunday. Bass arrived 7.40 am Tuesday. Should have the wrapping undone by Friday(that's a lie, but to damage this bass in transit would have been bordering on impossible) AMAZING. I love the bass, it is better than described,did I say I love the bass? Simon, I simply cannot praise you enough, superb, easy transaction. I am immensely grateful to you for providing me with a Precision with a slimmer neck, that I can play. Did I say I love the bass? Now, where's that stupid grin removal cream? TOP,TOP guy. Many thanks, Karl.
