    Ah, I messaged you a couple of times as you had offered to sort out the finish on my checkerboard P bass like you offered months ago. If you're still interested, I'd love you to sort it out for me Cheers

    Hi On behalf of my bands guitarist, I'm listing his Dean ML Tribute guitar in solid black with a hard case. He's owned it since new and has looked after it very well but as expected with pointy guitars, there's a couple of chips to the tips of the headstock. Nothing major but it's better to note it so it's not a surprise. There's the obvious light buckle rash on the back of the guitar and a few surface scratches on the front too but nothing that can't be buffed out and certainly nothing that can be felt when running your finger over it. Some info on the guitar. It's got a tune-o-matic bridge, Dean Zebra pick ups, grover tuners, Dime Custom dials, all chrome hardware, 4 screw bolt on neck and it's had recent professional set up with 10 gauge D'Addario strings (it has been set up for E flat/E standard tuning) as well as having the intonation fully checked and corrected. It's only ever been used for band practises and recording/playing at home. Never gigged either as he uses an Epiphone Explorer for gigging with. The price is set at £200 O.N.O. including the hardcase which has various other foam fittings for different guitars but is set for the ML right now. As for trades, the only thing he is interested in trading the guitar for is a Zoom G2.1DM Dave Mustaine Signature modelling pedal or an Epiphone Les Paul Custom (in black or silverburst) Viewings are welcome as long as a time can be arranged that fits around his work schedule. Don't really know what else to say apart from pictures will follow later on. CHEERS! Stevie.D

    Hi mate, will these still work properly with the new frequency change over and all that?

    [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1329124620' post='1537292'] You going for the 'what Steve Harris played in the 1950s' look? [/quote] Haha yeah! That was my exact thought. Would like nice along side my Steve Harris signature model too! Evil Undead, please reply to my PM about the paintwork job

    Hmm, that's interesting that both of you have 97's and say they're great basses but it's even more interesting that Lozz mentioned the 95 take over. Kostas, it wasn't long before then that they started doing that. Personally, I'm not a fan as you lose the skunk stripe on the back of the neck but I know they do improve the strength of the neck. I need someone with a 1990 P-Bass to tell me what it's like

    Seymour Duncan SJB-1 or SJB-3 quarter pounders. I've got a (heavily customised) Squier VM 77 Jazz and i'm going to stick a set of SJB-1's in there next month. They're amazing pick ups

    It's the same rickenbacker he played years ago but he's had it modded many, many times by Dawk Sounds. He had the neck re-shaped and picollo strings put on it. Absolutely absurd if you ask me but I do love Manowar at the same time...
  9. StevieD_FenderP2009
    I normally hate these P-Basses but I REALLLLLY like this. Stick a mirrored pickguard on it and I'll have it ...if I can pull £200 out of where the sun doesn't shine
  10. StevieD_FenderP2009
    I know I said it in the message to you but my god that is gorgeous! Get a Marcus Miller pickguard and you've got a perfect MM replica haha. If you're interested, i'll post a picture of mine on here when I am at my dad's again. Thanks again for doing the swap mate

    I stopped using Rotosounds for about 6 months as I felt they were starting to die off far too quickly and I couldn't afford to change them every month on 3 basses at 20 quid a pop so I started using the Fender (re packaged D'Addario) 45-105 standard strings. Yeah, they were nice but they lacked that snappy, twangy sound that Rotosounds gave me on my basses. I'm seriously considering going back to using the Roto RS66LE 50-110 for the lower Drop C# stuff I play and RS66LD 45-105 for the standard/ E Flat stuff I play. Saying that, I do find the D'Addario Chrome Flatwounds to be better than Rotosound's flatwounds (especially the Steve Harris SH77 flatwounds) so I'll carry on using those on my Steve Harris signature Fender but for the roundwound strung basses like my Tobias, Spector and Fender Jazz, I'll give the Swing Bass Rotos a chance again.

    I'm desperate to try out one of those Hartke LH1000 heads as I know David Ellefson of Megadeth swears by them and they can be picked up quite cheap. Saying that, I can't see myself selling my Trace Elliot unless an SVT 4 Pro comes up for sale. Hopefully next month I'll have a few more additions to my rig so i'll post some pictures then

    I'd prefer it to be USA made if I'm honest. It's just that whole American made year of birth thing. I don't know why it's such an appealing thing but it is. I do like the Japanese stuff though, they've always made decent export and non export basses

    Hey guys I'm looking to join the band wagon of people looking for Y.O.B. basses which unfortunately for me means a 1990 bass. My choice is obviously a Fender Precision Bass. You wouldn't expect anything less from a Steve Harris/ Marcus Grosskopf/ Geezer Butler/ Frank Bello nut. Anyway yeah, I'm looking to get one with an Alder body, maple boarded and C shaped neck (with a gradual descent to a D shape from the 12-20 frets) then give it the full "Steve Harris" treatment which means a Badass II bridge, Seymour Duncan SPB-1 pick ups, chrome pickguard, Fender vintage reverse wind tuning pegs, Graphtech black tusq top nut, amber tinted neck, pure white refinish with blue/yellow/blue (instead of claret/blue/claret) binding and Leeds United (instead of West Ham) emblem on the back end of the bass. If the general consensus is that the 90's Fenders are sh!te, I'll just bite the bullet and buy a late 70's/early 80's one. Cheers Stevie

    I just bought an iRig off Dave. He sent it the same day I paid and it arrived the next morning. Absolute pleasure to deal with and a man of his word. Thanks a lot Dave! I really appreciate it going through so quickly Stevie
  16. StevieD_FenderP2009
    Swapped the neck from my Squier VM Jazz with the neck from Dave's VM Jazz. The man's a pleasure to deal with and an absolute gentleman as well as a man of his word. Would happily deal with him again. Thanks Stevie

    Bump!
  18. StevieD_FenderP2009
    How much would he want for just the head mate?
  19. StevieD_FenderP2009
    Bump! Price drop?
  20. StevieD_FenderP2009
    I can make you one if you don't mind waiting a while?
  21. StevieD_FenderP2009
    Ah okay mate, cheers anyway. I'm after another metal one
  22. StevieD_FenderP2009
    Buuuuuump
  23. StevieD_FenderP2009
    Hi mate Is it metal or a plastic one?
  24. StevieD_FenderP2009
    Did you mean £260 posted? It's £250 B.I.N. and £10 posted. Still, absolute bargain. Pair that with a Jackson and a HyDrive 410 and you're in Megadeth! haha
  25. StevieD_FenderP2009
    Oh man that is nice! I was thinking of spraying the body of my Jazz white but this has made me want to do it more! I wish I could afford this
