That's very good of you, James.

Friday night uplift

[size=4]I had this up for sale last year but withdrew it - now re advertising at a lower price of £1100. I’m looking to sell, not trade.[/size] [size=4]The bass is an American Standard Precision, in three colour sunburst finish, with highly figured maple front and back, gold hardware, special edition logo on rear of headstock and a neck mounting plate confirming it is number 315 of 500 worldwide [/size] [b][i][size=3]The Fender Advertising Script was as follows:-[/size][/i][/b] [i]“1996 marked the 50th Anniversary of the Fender company (1946-1996), and in celebration Fender produced a limited edition anniversary series of the following instruments (Bracketed figures show the total number of instruments made):- 50th American Standard Precision Bass (500) 50th American Standard Jazz Bass (500) 50th American Standard Jazz Bass V String (500)[/i] [i]50th American Standard Stratocaster (2,500) 50th American Standard Stratocaster Left Handed (250) 50th American Standard Telecaster (1,250) Text from the 1996 Fender press release: Exclusive features on these once in a lifetime instruments include: [/i] [i]Gold plated American Standard hardware, highly figured maple veneer top and back,[/i] [i]Antique Sunburst finish, Vintage pickups and electronics, White plastic parts, Black tolex vintage case with orange plush interior and a vintage Fender nameplate.

[/size] There are photos below the advert, but this is a link to some bigger & high quality pictures.

Hope it was a good night for you at The Institute. You're welcome to come round to try the Gibson - just give me a ring on 0778 070 6991 to arrange if you would - or text me & I'll ring back. I'm here (Morecambe) till tomorrow early evening - then I'm off to Rochdale for two or three days. Cheers, Geoff

Good evening! Just got back & spotted your post - had the kitchen scales out and I make it 3.75 kilos. Whereabouts in the North West are you? Geoff

[size=4]In red metallic finish, my vintage Gibson guitar all in good working order and in original condition with some marks & wear to the paintwork - see photos .[/size] [size=4]It has two Zebra humbuckers giving a really great rich and full sound, but not muddy at all. All the controls are working fine and it has a nice true neck with a rosewood fretboard. [/size] [size=4]The serial number 83512594 dates it to 1982. These were made by Gibson in the USA from 1980 to 1984. [/size] [size=4]It has a bolt on neck, tune-o-matic bridge and stop tailpiece, 24.75” scale, a rosewood fretboard and Gibson machine heads - you get a lot for your money – a Made In USA Gibson with humbuckers and the looks of a Les Paul.[/size] [size=4]The guitar comes with the pictured rectangular hard case – not made by Gibson, but it’s very strong and protective, and a decent strap.[/size]

Hi Gary, That's a great looking bass, man. Thanks for the offer, but I'm either going to sell the bass, or, if I were to swap, it would be for a semi acoustic "jazz" style guitar. Thanks again for the offer.

A jolly May Bank Holiday bump to all.................

Cheers Cosmo - You see, if buy this, you'll be able to play like Roger Glover.............

A rainy night bump.

A happy Easter Saturday bump to you all...................

Hey there - a subject dear to my heart. I think that moving mags on is a great idea - they are horribly expensive at around the £5 mark, and are still perfectly readable/enjoyable/informative even when read months or years alter. I got some from another member here - and when I did, the main cost, is, as Ray has laid out, the mad cost of Royal Mail postage now. 5 mags come in at about 2 kilos, and the only cheap way is, in my opinion, to use My Hermes - that way you can still drop the parcel off at a local My Hermes shop of your choice - a bit like going to a post office - and you get a receipt & could shave a few quid off a 2 kilo parcel within regular UK postcodes and you can get "signed for" facility as well if you want. It's a pity that there couldn't be a central depot/library for all the mags, or, perhaps a "you send me yours & I'll send you mine" arrangement......but if everyone is buying Bassist, then you would all be trying to swap the same mags. There must be a way round this.............

Sunday evening bump............

It's that Friday night bump.....................

Le bump.

Hello there, If you have the small switch set to the mid position then it doesn't affect the tone of the instrument,and you can use the pedal to boost the signal to the amplifier, so it would work as a level shifter for bass. It is really aimed at guitarists - specifically at Fender players who want their Strats or Teles to sound like a Les Paul.
