  1. Where abouts in Gods country do you live marcus?
  2. Yep, I virtually ran away from the shop before he changed his mind!
  3. Got Mine for 150 I think plus a knackered old Londoner amp as PX! Can't fault it.
  4. My first was a Bright red Hondo destroyer with P bass pups and terrible action. Bought from Windows in Newcastle in early 80's. Haven't got a clue where it is now. Bless.
  5. You've got me thinking now.... It could do with a facelift. Funny really I haven't had the thing 2 minutes.
  6. They're a bit like like rocky horse s**t but I love mine. One day when the band makes lots of money I'll push the boat out, but right now it's doing a grand job. Don't have any backup though.
  7. Still got the Pbass pick guards? Got a Black precision with maple neck, which one do you think will set it off the best? Like black but I'm trying to picture the pearl. hhmmmm.
  8. Got mine new (but a little smokey) from Grott guitars in old Eldon square(remember them). Got it for an absolute steal because it had been in some fire damaged building. It smelt a bit smokey for a couple of weeks but after that it was all good. I think there was a couple of them at there at the time. Maybe you got the other one?
  9. The Bass base 250 is an excellent amp and i use it for backline and on it's own for pubs etc and it copes no problem. Bit heavy though, you wouldn't want to be carting it about all the time. Have to be honest though I don't know anything about the modern stuff. Bit disappointed if it's true what warwick is saying about the tone of the newer amps as I was looking at a back up for mine. Hope they haven't skimped on quality.
  10. re. the POD Had my floor pod for about 8 months now and I'm only now getting the best out of the compressors....I think. Try doubling up with the front end compressor (on the control panel) and the MXR. A bit dissapointed with the compressors and chorus on the POD TBH.

  13. If you've had any dealings with me, please leave a comment, good or bad, and I'll return the favour. All the best. Joe
  14. Thanks Pablo, A nice guy to deal with and a credit to ebay.....sorry Basschat. Excellent communication and he was very understanding when the courier messed us about. Cheers Joe
  15. Yeah, I know Chris. The preamp was installed when I bought it. Gives it that extra little bit of versatility I think. I'll certainly miss it when it's gone. [quote name='Chris2112' post='219692' date='Jun 16 2008, 10:41 AM']I have one of these as my main bass (but just with standard pickups and preamp, I didn't feel a great need to change them), and they are absolutely cracking. So good I sold my Status Stealth bass after getting it![/quote]
  16. Hi all, Having just bought a new P bass from these very pages my spector now has to go. I will be sorry to wave it off but hey ho! what can you do. I've already put this up for sale or trade this year and then withdrawn it but this time it just 'has to go' as the wife says. It has a [b]VERY SLIGHT[/b] (unphotographable) indentation on the back of the neck which doesn't affect playing. In fact I only mention it to be totally honest about things. Apart from that it's in as new condition (never been gigged) and comes with a hard case. It has been upgraded to include EMG ceramic pups and an 18v preamp as opposed to the usual Tone-pump circuitry. It's a lovely bass which has a great neck and a lot of tonal variety. I wish I could keep it. I know there's a credit crunch but I'm looking for offers around [b]£400.[/b] Thanks for looking.
  17. Okay, Cheers anyway. [quote name='Rasta' post='218433' date='Jun 13 2008, 04:28 PM']Sorry Captain Black, you just missed out by a smidging, the bass is now sold to Si as of the previous evening. all the best, Rasta. Irie[/quote]
  18. Had a rethink and decided I don't want to part with it afterall. So, looks like I'll have to start saving up for another bass. Thanks to all for the interest.
  19. [quote name='captain black' post='175711' date='Apr 13 2008, 04:47 PM']More pictures coming up......[/quote] More pictures Robbie, as promised. Ta Joe
