As if by magic, all is revealed. Perhaps the winner hadn't followed this thread. Thanks warwickhunt.

[quote name='Gunsfreddy2003' post='746519' date='Feb 15 2010, 09:00 PM']So what happened? I am confused![/quote] That makes at least two of us!

[quote name='discreet' post='746489' date='Feb 15 2010, 08:40 PM']1. Yes. 2. Yes. 3. Yes, yes and yes. 4. [url="http://www.style.org/unladenswallow/"]http://www.style.org/unladenswallow/[/url] 5. Under the sink where it usually is. [/quote] 1. Thank you. 2. Thank you. 3. Thank you. 4. Brilliant! (hell's bell's was that film really 1975?) 5. Very special thank you. Now partaking.

Is there a gap in the space/ time continuum? Has a nano bot chomped some words? More to the point, have I missed something here? Er. like a post going awol? Has a BC'er won this bass? What is the air speed velocity of a swallow? Where is my Sanatogen?

Do I have to be the one with; "you know when youv'e been Tango'ed"

[quote name='NickSpector' post='743634' date='Feb 13 2010, 12:47 AM']Someone got f***ed over by that jerk. I emailed him and got no reply. I'd like to punch conmen like this square in the nose for being utter stealing lying twats.[/quote] Completely agree dude, except I would prefer to use a knee a lot lower on the anatomy. I emailed him to go view as I live close. Got no response whatsoever so it really does look dodgy. I hope this guy gets named in the ebay bit as one to watch.

36 hours since I emailed asking to come and view it. No reply. It's now up to £400. Sadly I think somebody may be going to get kippered.

24 hours + and no reply to my mail to him?

[quote name='thebeat' post='740750' date='Feb 10 2010, 10:51 AM']So even the fleas are finding stuff in their uncles attic now? Mind you, i think it's actually a MIM 70's reissue.[/quote] Yeah, I though perhaps Mex re issue. Decent shots of the headstock, front and back, might have helped. Thing is, being altruistic, there is a chance the guy is selling it short. If I do get to see it (no reply yet) will ask if he minds me taking the neck , control panel off, and taking pictures. One can but ask, and I've been "nutted" before today! Karl.

[quote name='Shambo' post='740596' date='Feb 10 2010, 07:56 AM']Sorry if you're already onto this listing but it caught my eye. Made around the time I was born and save for the white scratchplate, it looks exactly like the bass I've been trying to replace for the last ten years... and I ain't got the money to bid on it. [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Fender-Jazz-Bass-Guitar_W0QQitemZ220554260273QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV?hash=item335a0eef31"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Fender-Jazz-Bass-Gui...=item335a0eef31[/url] The seller seems very unsure as to what they're selling, but if it's genuine and in good nick, you'd hope he gets his £300 back. [/quote] I live about 10 miles away and have e mailed him this morning to ask if I can go over to see it. The serial plate nowadays is all to easy to buy off ebay, could be a newish Mex reissue, although it does superficially look genuine. From those photo's, I would expect to see at least yellowing of the headstock. If I get to see it my next task would be to convince him to let me loose with a couple of different sized Phillip's! I will let you know.

Was sold for £580. Now back on the bay at BIN of £775.

[quote name='Prosebass' post='737523' date='Feb 6 2010, 07:05 PM']Indeed, photography is dear to my heart and it is full of forum members discussing the merits of digital over film , films dead ? shall I go for 14 MP over my my 12 MP camera ? Full frame or 4/3 format, blah blah blah blah blah. I use 35mm and medium format film cameras, compact and DSLR digital cameras, horses for course non are worse or better than the other, I just take photographs with them. I am beginning to think the bass fraternity is exactly the same. There are those who have have to justify and push their decisions on equipment on others and those who just play the damm things through whatever they like. As I said previously a simple Line 6 GX with POD Farm and a laptop is an amazing tool that I use alot. Conversely I love playing straight through a simple practice amp be it valve or tranny or IC. Shouldn't we just celebrate all this wonderful gear rather than tell each other we are wrong ? And yes Jaco was a bit of an arrogant twat but then it seems to be a trait of genius ?[/quote] If I was a millionth as good as Jaco, I would be an arrogant t**t.

Too good to be true? Yes.

Uncool. Up against a wall. Uzi 9mm.

Lighten that load dude. Gas for small but scary moderm neo wotsit's and a small. lightweight. powerful head.

[quote name='The Bass Doc' post='734964' date='Feb 4 2010, 12:50 PM']Quite, and the Jazz bass you were referring to?[/quote] Smutty. Stop that at once my lad.

[quote name='Johnston' post='731008' date='Jan 31 2010, 08:03 PM']I must have weird tastes in basses. The dearest bass I've bought was the epi T-bird at £270 despite playing every bass in the shop it was the only one I liked including fenders, 'rays and warwicks. Was out looking on Saturday played a real lovely looking squire jazz, natural finish, block inlays loved the look hated the feel. None of the expensive stuff tickled the eyeballs. The only bass I was tempted to buy was the Epi EB-0 from the starter pack. So tempted to order one online without the pack for a wallet busting £130. I can't imagine paying £900 for a bass mainly because I've seen one I liked !!![/quote] It's all subjective, I had a T bird once, loved the sound,loved the look,hated the feel especially the neck dive. I am paying £900 as I have just sold my 1974 Jazz after 22 years of ownership. It got too valuable to gig. This next bass will probably be the last I buy, so £900 over probably 15 years more playing before retirement (if God spares me) doesn't work out that much ( a lttle over £1 /week).
