  1. [quote name='Beedster' timestamp='1389810228' post='2338182'] That thing's built like a tank, it's no doubt had some rough nights and has probably outlived several of its owners. I reckon it's probably scared a Strat or two in its time also and growls every time a keyboard player even looks at it. The odd p****d punter invading the stage isn't going to worry it in the least All joking aside, some old basses just look built to last, that's one of them [/quote] [quote name='Jebo1' timestamp='1389818078' post='2338339'] Basses are built to be played. My 66 Fender has cigarette burns, a stain from a pint glass and a bite mark! Buy it, play it, love it (and get insurance!) [/quote] you guys are just making it worse!
  2. is this 2010 or 2011? any pics?
  3. as an update I sold the P (boo!) cos I was really digging playing my fretless ray. ive since moved that on and reignited my p bass love with a nate mendel sig. its great through my orange terror bass and is ideal for rock & punky numbers. Im now thinking of another P with flats. My amp set up at the time wasn't doing it justice but I realise the error of my ways. you jus can beat a good old P bass!
  4. Looks like its spoken for but if not I'm local to[size=4] you, some pics would be nice[/size]
  5. This is my YOB Bass and my fav colour scheme but dont think id trust myself with it in some of the rough houses we play in. Belting bass at a good price glwts wish I had the funds...
  6. Are these usa or mex built? How is it for dings knocks etc
  7. I was so close to getting this and Ted was a real gent. Deal with confidence, and it looks a belter!
  8. Cant follow the link to the original sale thread?
  9. Just bought a Nate Mendel Sig P Bass from Mike. Seemless transaction, bass arrived when he said, packed superbly and great comms all the way. Do business with confidence
  10. Im thinking of buying a jv at the min. But its a solid finish. Were they all definitely alder. My jap silver series was basswood. Good as it was at the time if im shelling out I want the real deal in body woods. Any way to tell before you buy?
  11. I'm not even after a ray and it wouldnt be my ideal colour choice but am tempted. Come on peoples that's a stonking bass at a great price buy buy buy!
  12. saw one of these in dawsons today and thought it had been dinked on the bottom! where are these made Mex?
  13. [quote name='ash' timestamp='1387456573' post='2312126'] Bent bit of tin = bbot Any interest in an early 80s MIJ Ibanez Roadstar? Cheers [/quote]good man cheers. I can be a bit thick sometimes
  14. What are these like for weight/balance I'm used to my Sandberg which is very light with no neck dive. Those tuners look heavy!
  15. Oops sorry thought that was a link to a sales page. Damn you skim reading on 7" tablet!
  16. Mine was original sunburst with black plate as well. The colour and finish are great on these early MM basses....damn want my old one back glwts
  17. I used a 4 stringer fretless ray as my main gigging bass for about 18 months and it was the business. Really fancy trying a sterling but too short of cash at the min, bump for good looking bass
  18. I recognise that damage to the edge below the jack! Think this was my first ever bass bought new in rushworths Liverpool in the early 90s and sold (foolishly) on ebay after 100s of gigs. The mark is where I moved the jack to the edge then realised what a fool I'd been I moved it back and had the hole filled :-) think there's pics of me with it at www.thebuckets.co.uk shame I didn't see this sooner I might have brought her home. Whoever gets it its a belter
  19. +1 for unlined I had an unlined stingray and it was my main gigging bass for 2 yrs -lovely tone. The ebony board on this will be sweet and will laugh at a roundwounds attemp to dig in
  20. I have my eq all set at 12 o clock col and gain about 10 through a 2 x 12 loud as hell and a great sound its plug and play heaven
