Hi. In the UK, anything from £250, slightly battered and possible alteration to the electrics, no original case to dealer prices for a good one with original case - £495. [url="http://www.classicandcoolguitars.co.uk/guitar/peaveyt60tb.htm"]http://www.classicandcoolguitars.co.uk/guitar/peaveyt60tb.htm[/url] I have collected mine over the years so would sit around the middle of that for a nice one. I have been thinking of breaking down the collection of T-60's for a couple of years now, so if you are interested, let me know. Got all sorts - Early Toaster/Slab and later Blade/Contoured. Really nice guitars - only really appreciated once you have actually played one! Cheers.

"Adding middle creates distortion and causes the notes to break up, it's a well known fact" A quote taken from a guitarist, last night. "Back the middle of and you'll always get a cleaner sound" was the other. There followed another 20 minutes of light hearted banter, with me pointing out that [i]I [/i]had not heard that one. It [i]may[/i] enhance the distortion on a guitar amp but on a bass amp?? Can anyone with expertise enlighten me? Cheers.

Hi. I pop in here how and again but have not joined in yet. I also visit "[i]The Dark Side" [/i]- things with skinny strings that wail in the night!! Here are some of mine. Perhaps one of my favourite Peavey T-60's - Yes, I have a whole bunch of them, as well!! Something a bit special from Ibanez. Finally, one of my favourite photgraphs. To get this shot took me several hours!!! Pro Photogs please feel free to point out any of my failings!! I like it! Peter Cook Twin Neck, from around 1973-74.

Nice track! Using an earlier "Toaster". I am still breaking down my collection of Forty's but will still end up with maybe five or 6 of them, as keepers. You [i]may [/i]be interested in one of them. So, I'll be in touch, via PM. Cheers.

After some lenghty discussions, asking all the right questions, bought my PB70. Once the deal was set, payment came in at Warp Speed Very easy to deal with. All the best. Cheers.

[quote name='Bassman Steve' timestamp='1342867549' post='1742029'] ご希望の方には、フジゲンカタログの送付もさせて頂いております。ご住所とお名前を書いたメモと円分の切手を同封し、下記までお送りください。折り返し担当より送付させて頂きます。 Christ, I wouldn't stand anyone saying that about me!! [/quote] If you wish, is, I will also send Fujigen catalog. Yen worth of stamps and enclose a note I wrote your name and address, please send it below. You will be sent from the folded charge. How sad!! Curiosity got the better of me!! GOOGLE TRANSLATION. Not that offensive!! Cheers.

Hi. Been out of the loop for a few days. It [i]looks [/i]like you are sorted - if you still want the pic, let me know. Cheers.

Would a picture of the cavity help? I have two of these. Both have two position, so are the Elite. I have had basses in the past where someone has used a three position in place of a two, as I quess that's all they had at the time! I can get you a close up shot, if you wish. This is mine.

If I remember correctly, the weight of this thing is well over that of a Peavey T-40!! Picked it up when I met BRX at a Nottingham bass day. H E A V E Y! Played it all night???? Cheers.

[quote name='kais58' timestamp='1340982675' post='1712434'] Hi, I just bought a bass off a friend and they said it's a Westbury 'Les Paul' Bass Guitar however it has no markings on it anywhere apart from on the back it says "Made in Japan" anybody know what it is? Here's a picture: [url="http://sucs.org/~kais58/DSCF5010.JPG"]http://sucs.org/~kais58/DSCF5010.JPG[/url] Thanks for any help. [/quote] Avon Rose Morris, Sumbro, Grant or similar, I would say. Jon (Bassassin) would have known in a flash, Cheers.

Vintage MIJ (formerly J@pCr@p) Spotting
FlatEric replied to Bassassin's topic in eBay - Weird and Wonderful
Just read the post above and on the listing is "other things you may like". Spotted this.

Great feel, nice neck, punchy sound - I have three of them, did an outdoor thing at the weekend with mine (identical to the one listed) everyone one said what a great sound it was. Not much money for a Very Nice bass. -
[quote name='Kiwi' timestamp='1340002942' post='1697307'] Looks like a heavily modified Fender Precision Elite II to me. [/quote] Yep, that's where my thoughts were but I'm not certain that it is.

I was watching Vintage TV, the other night - usually some interesting stuff and you get to see kit that bands were uing years ago. Moody Blues were on twice and in both videos, John Lodge was playing this: [attachment=110689:JohnLodgeBass.JPG] I tried to pin down what it was but without any luck. Any ideas? I also came across a nice Twin Neck, whilst looking for the P. [attachment=110690:John Lodge.jpg] [attachment=110691:JohnLodge.jpg] Interesting! Cheers.

If this will help. . . . We do mainly Classic Rock and usually, these work a treat: Hard to Handle - Black Crowes version Caroline Thunderbird by ZZ Top (most people have never heard it but it gets them going) also Sharp dressed man. Sweet Home and Gimme 3 Steps - Skynyrd Stick together - Roxy I want to break free - Queen. Teenage Kicks I believe in a thing called love - Darkness Whole lotta Rosie normally works but not always - + others I have forgotten but there are two sure fire winners - Old as the hills. . . . Johnny be good and Route 66, never fails.

Sorry to be so flipant. . . . Nice bass, I have one that is identical but my first glance had me marveling at your Photoshop skills - a mate has some wallpaper like that and I was trying to see how you had got the shot and then realised it is on a bed? Doh! Irl get me coat! Cheers.

Lucky man! A VERY nice bass! Enjoy. Cheers.

[quote name='Shaggy' timestamp='1338396944' post='1673954'] +1, Likewise, wouldn't dream of gigging my '85 Gibbo Explorer without the hard case! On the upside, at least the necks are maple rather than mahogany (as on the more fragile T'birds) Downside is the case is the size of the deck of an aircraft carrier.... [/quote] I'm with you but you are correct, a case for one of these is a bit on the large side!!
-
Ahhhhgggg! Don't do it!! That is a rare old beast you have there! Slight mishap with the bass in a gig bag, and that head is going to suffer some damage!! Your case looks like the one it took me ages to find for mine. Once it's gone, you may struggle to find another one. Just something to think about. Cheers. PS I have only ever seen a handful of these in the UK. I wonder how many there are?

[quote name='Johnston' timestamp='1338072558' post='1669409'] The tear drop one? [/quote] Yep, that's one of them!
-
Hey, not the worst I have seen!! Give me a couple of days to dig out the images and then I'll post them. They are BAD!!! Cheers.
-
Alex, you have WAY too much time on your hands!!! Errm, Great Job! As you say, looks different from the "norm" Cheers.
-
I've got 2 CIJ and 1 MIJ - no one would be able to tell the difference between them. All of them VERY nice - I'm sure you will be very pleased. Let us all know. Cheers.

As someone who loves driving (some people don't) this is heading towards the final straw. No matter what you will be driving, it will no longer be a case of let's nip off to such and such place, it will be "get the calc out, let's see if we can afford it"! A lot of places in the UK survive on tourism - there'll be less of that - attractions, hotels, pubs etc will draw less revenue and pay less tax!! On top of all that. . . . . . there will be no need for speed cameras, as mileage would be (I assume) tracked from GPS, so the minute you speed up to 83.2146879 MPH, to pass that convoy of trucks that have been in front of you for 5 miles. . . . . the fine will be printed off and in the post before you have come to journies end!!!! ARRRRGGGGHHHHHH!! That's all folks.
