    Is this the bass that was sold recently by Cotswold Bass Guitars? I recognise the pics from the CBG site. Lovely bass. Shame you can't hold on to it after just getting it.

    This isn't an 80's bass. The one piece pickguard was a feature in the early to mid eighties when the pickups had white covers and the bass was the American Standard offering. The American Traditional Jazz was made from about the mid-nineties to late nineties and was a cheaper offering than the standard Jazz. It's really up to you what you do with it. If it plays well and sounds good then why spend money. By keeping it in 'Traditional' mode you have a talking point and also a nice bass.

    Dan just bought a Fender Strat from me. As per all the above posts the transaction was extremely pleasant with good communication. Always a pleasure to do business with folk like Dan.

    [quote name='richardd' timestamp='1457898186' post='3002826'] They come with two Hutton F plate and A FF Foo Fighters plate [/quote] OK Richard. I didn't realise that. You learn something new every day. The Foo Fighters neck plate would be cool!

    [quote name='richardd' timestamp='1457880090' post='3002585'] HiAs it is only a few months old, do you still have the FF neck plate and would you post in the UK Rich [/quote] I think the neck plate in the pic is the correct one.

    The Strat is now sold. Thanks for all the interest folks.

    Still 'on hold' I'm afraid.

    When the sound gets so loud that it becomes impossible to hear the song that's when I leave. No point in damaging my hearing.

    Up for sale is a Fender Stratocaster 2003 USA 'Highway One'. This is a very nice playing Strat which is in good condition for a 13 year old guitar. This is one of the first generation 'Highway One' Strats which I much prefer due to the small headstock and decal. There are some small marks here and there on the nitrocellulose finish. These are almost inevitable on these thin finishes. I have tried as best I can to photograph them. Although the guitar is 13 years old it has not been played for about 10 years which is primarily the reason for the sale. Everything is in working order with no problems. The bridge has been set up in the locked position. That is to say that it has been adjusted flush to the body and two extra springs added (see pic) so that it doesn't move. This process however would be easy to reverse to enable the bridge to be used in tremolo fashion. The Fender gig bag is included in the sale. The guitar is also fitted with schaller strap lock buttons. I am not looking for any trades. The asking price is £350 which includes packing and postage to UK addresses.

    Glad you're happy with the bass Dave. David MacGregor is a nice guy to deal with and always stocks nice basses.

    [quote name='colgraff' timestamp='1456165825' post='2986171'] Jumping in with both feet, because I am feeling reckless. I lived in Aberdeen from 1986 to 2002 and, at the time I would have struggled to distinguish between nationalist, separatist and racist. I had White Settler sprayed on my house 11 times, was spat on, barred from pubs, assaulted, had the wheels loosened on my car, was refused from taxis. On most occasions when I reported this to the police, I was told "What do you expect? Go home." I won't be going back. [/quote] I'm not going to rise to this nonsense. I'm out of here.

    [quote name='4stringslow' timestamp='1456152605' post='2985957'] Colgraff made a good point about nationalists and separatists. I certainly didn't mean to imply Scottish nationalists were racist in the sense of the BNP/EDL (because I don't believe that) so I can see why you got upset if you thought I did. Again, apologies if I wasn't clear enough. As for my last sentence, I was just defending my position by referring to the Scottish referendum result - unnecessary or not, the outcome of the vote is now a fact of life and I, for one, think it was a sensible result. [/quote] You just can't help yourself.

    [quote name='4stringslow' timestamp='1456139823' post='2985703'] I'd say you're stretching things to suggest Scottish/English border and sovereignty issues are racist rather than nationalist. I fully accept that Scottish nationalism is a legitimate political position but surely I'm allowed to believe it is also a daft political position? Something I seem to have in common with the majority of Scottish voters. [/quote] Of course you can think that Scottish Nationalism is a daft political position just don't lump Scottish Nationalists in with the racist BNP, EDL &UKIP. Your last sentence is unnecessary. I am a floating voter and don't support everything the SNP stands for. I was merely countering your sweeping statement.

    [quote name='4stringslow' timestamp='1456096185' post='2985417'] I could point out that tolerance would allow me to use such a descriptor without castigation, especially in a topic about tolerating the intolerable I apologise if my chosen adjective struck a nerve but given the proclaimed agendas of organisations such as the BNP, EDL, UKIP etc, it was the politest one I could think of at the time. Feel free to suggest an alternative. I also apologise for the slight swerve into political territory. My bad. [/quote] You see this is the problem. You can't see past your own border to realise that Scottish Nationalism is a legitimate political position. What you describe as nationalist I would describe as racist.

    [quote name='4stringslow' timestamp='1456003827' post='2984527'] Indeed - there's no such thing as an English, Scottish, Welsh, etc, passport - though it may be on the agenda of the various nationalist nutjobs. I'd be perfectly happy with a European passport or, better still, an 'Earthling' one. One day perhaps. [/quote] It would be nice to make your point and leave it at that instead of describing those who follow a nationalist agenda as nutjobs. Nice to see tolerance id alive and well.

    What aero71 said was that your bass is the blue flower model. It is not a Paisley pattern model. Therefore paisley shouldn't be in the title. It should say blue flower and not blue Paisley. I hope this helps. Good luck with the sale.

    John is a marvellous guy. Loom no sooner ordered than it appears with the postie. Excellent loom has got my bass sounding just ooooooohhhhh! This man is 'Master of the Loom' Many Thanks!

    If you are going to keep the bass for all time then make your choice based on the excellent advice above. If you are going to sell/trade the bass in the future then go for the American Standard.

    [quote name='neepheid' timestamp='1455876552' post='2983124'] A declaration of war! [/quote] I can't imagine anything worse than going to hear the same covers played over and over again. At least with an originals band you can make up your own mind whether you like their stuff or not. How do we ever get to hear anything new? Also, remember that all songs that are covered had to be original when first written and performed. Is the compromise perhaps to have one or two well chosen covers in a set if you are an originals band. People don't always need to have the familiar to 'feel' the song!
  20. Hutton
    Many thanks for all the replies here folks. I've decided to fit a new loom as provided by our own KiOgon. The original bits can sit in the case.

    [quote name='neepheid' timestamp='1455788760' post='2982379'] I dunno, but I'm pretty sure you're definitely the guy who talks most about gigging at the bar band level [/quote]

    [quote name='Stance' timestamp='1455533254' post='2979852'] This won´t help - Moving a vintage Fender is never a right move ahahah [/quote] You're right my friend. Bass now withdrawn!👍
  23. Hutton
    [quote name='Stance' timestamp='1455500568' post='2979670'] Have a bump on me! I have on of those 78-81 P-basses - just awesome! [/quote] They certainly are excellent basses. I'm beginning to wonder if I'm doing the right thing!
  24. Hutton
    I think there are many people who relate to Twincam's situation. I, for one, have found this thread very helpful.

    [quote name='Chiliwailer' timestamp='1455464230' post='2979292'] Problem is, if you need to take out the pot to fix it then the solder isn't virgin anymore.... Seems like a waste if time to me. I'd just replace it and include it in a sale IF someone is that bothered. Done it myself a few times on more vintage bases than an 81. [/quote] That's fine as far as it goes and I agree with you. However, when someone says that they can't offer you what you are asking for your bass because it isn't 100% original because of the replaced pot despite it being included in the sale then that is a problem. How much are you meant to knock off for an original pot not being fitted but included. Seems daft to me.
