    A stable, I reckon

    No worries, sorted one out elsewhere. Hope you end up liking it and keeping it!

    Hi. Still available?

    Hi. Is this still available?

    If I hadn't been hit with a completely unexpected bill for almost exactly 800 quid this morning I'd have been beating a path to your door for this. Good luck with the sale - someone is going to get a fantastic and unique bass!
  6. Grooverjr
    Oof! I was hoping you'd say it was skinny so I could stop drooling over it.

    Bought a very nice P neck from Frank - so I could do the 'proper' PJ combo of J body and P neck! Good price, very easy to deal with, top man overall. Thanks.

    I bought Tom's absolutely cracking ACG Skelf. Lovely guy to do business with, did a fantastic job of packing it up for couriering and communication in general and was genuinely interested in how I got on with it. Can't recommend him highly enough. Cheers Tom!

    Looks like a great bass for that money! What's the neck profile and the nut width?

    Thanks @Berserker. Will PM you @Rollin Thunder

    Very cool. Great colour. Looks nicer than the Attitude IMO.
  13. Grooverjr
    That's very cool. Maybe you can get the same paint job on one of your P basses? GLWTS
  14. Grooverjr
    Gorgeous. That 'dirty birdseye' looks so much better than it sounds! And with an ACG you know it will be a joy to play. For that price someone is going to get a hell of an instrument.

    Does Brian count as an extra band member for payment purposes?
  16. Grooverjr
    Blimey, you could shave in that it's so clean! Black on black with maple is indeed a lovely colour scheme for a Fender. GLWTS

    That's a very nice looker. I have a similar story with my Squier Jazz that was my bass when I was a teenager. I stopped playing completely for around 25 years (life got in the way) and it sat in my grandparents' loft. I picked it up again during the pandemic and that's what restarted my playing. It's a mid 80s MIJ so would probably be worth a bit (if I removed the poster paint 'art' on the body) and I rarely play it but I could never sell it unless I was incredibly desparate. Just knowing it is there reminds me of the old days practicing in my mate's garage, getting fake IDs so we could play in pubs, dreaming of one day getting into Kerrang or Metal Hammer. I get your point and it's lovely that you want someone to play it but it's very grown up and I think irrational attachments to things from the past are a big part of what keeps us sane. Good luck to you if you're sure you won't regret it and whoever does end up with it will hopefully get 20 years of playing from it.

    Thanks. All this love for them makes me want to get it sorted and then give it another go before deciding to part with it.

    That catalogue is great - super useful! So it's definitely the 1300 with an EMG mod - nice to know what the 9 ply body is made of!
  21. Grooverjr
    That's the very one! I think I'll get the strings off and give it a week of oiling and love then send it round to the luthier to get the action figured out. Thanks everyone - even Sunday is a school day!
  22. Grooverjr
    This is very similar, but the nobs on mine are not stacked. Mine could be a later version of that with less sophisticated preamp as the nobs are all standard with no push/pull or stack.

    Thanks - seems like every bass was once owned by someone on here 😁. It's certainly had a life, then because I think the guy I got it from was in Essex. I can see why you loved it, it's a really, really gorgeous looking thing and sounds great in a few of the settings. The neck feels good as well but it is way too cramped for me. Interesting on the action. The bridge is cut into the body at an angle - back end is down into the wood, front end not at all, and this means the saddles are really high so I feel like I'm never going to be able to get it to sit that low. I think I'll take it to a luthier and see what they can do with it.

    Haha! So it does! Honestly looking at it straight, even with my glasses on, it looked for all the world like a P but now you say that and I look at the photo it is an F! Just looked it up online and it is Fujigen 1995 but no other information. And then I looked at the stamp and it still looks like a P 🙈

    Hi Dr J. Here you go. Hope this helps the detective work. Hopefully you can read the serial number in the picture. It's active but I'm not convinced it started out active because the pots don't seem to make a huge amount of sense and there's no apparent bypass. Lovely woods but they hadn't been well looked after by previous owners so they're quite dulled.
