    People will look back at this week as the great Precision offload!!! How many on the board now? May not be the best time to sell.

    Hi Ally, I'm not really looking to move that far away from Fender Jazz basses but thanks for both offers. If it were a nice Stingray or Big Al we'd be talking...... Muchos grasias Col

    I use the large Stubby pics. Plenty of grip and excellent for percussive playing and digging right in for speed lines. Good luck with the search

    You sure a Precision wouldnt satisfy the GAS??? Really sure? ;-)

    What the asking price?

    If its an individual thats selling on ebay then its not new. Buying an expensive bass from a shop gives dealership expertise as well as back up in case of fault or any other consumer rights matter. I see it as a means to charge full whack on unsuspecting ebuyers.

    Thank you Ally. More Pics have been added to OP

    I once owned a very similar bass. Mr Shuker certainly knows how to put a J bass together. Great look too, have a bump

    Ive been bitten by this one and i'm definately twice shy. At the end of the day I'm not a professional player therefore my gear is paid from my own pocket and chosen carefully to suit my needs. It cost me a small fortune and I love it. The thought of loaning it out makes me cringe since an inexperienced support band drove an old Marshall head of mine to death, leaving me left to play through the PA. I was not a happy bunny and I did manage to comandeer the bassists' guitar until the repair was sorted. Just hassle I really dont need. I paid for it, I carried it, I use it. If you cant be bothered to sort your own out then with all due respect, you deserve the PA :-)

    John always seems to have the basses that are just that little bit out of the norm yet incredibly desirable. ive been floored by both his current offerings. Have a bump just for the 'porn' value. This Parker is possibly the nicest bass ive seen in many moons! Col

    Nicely worded John. Feel free to pm me a proposal for my P if you're intrested. Cheers Coli

    Just to add in here. I've owned a number of basses that have had neck breaks. Repaired properly they have hardly, if any, effect on the physical operation. I've seen a luthier demonstrate this by bending a repaired neck to breaking point and it split on another section, the repair remained true, you could deduce stronger than before repair. This guitar has lasted this long I'd vouch the damage is aesthetic only. Good luck with the sale.

    What are you looking for trade wise?

    [quote name='flyfisher' timestamp='1337000528' post='1653724'] I'd say this is the key point and a lot will depend on how formalised this arrangement is. Are you really part of the band or just a hired musician? A subtle but important difference. If the former, then all members should have a say in touring matters and conditions etc. If the latter then, frankly, it's their band and you have to do as they say (or leave). My bet is that these things are not clearly defined and that each band member has their own idea of things, and that they are not in harmony with each other. The first thing is to decide if you can put up with the situation. If you can then fine. if you can't then you should call a band meeting, raise your concerns and propose the sort of changes you'd be happy with. But you should first consider what to do if no-one agrees with you as it could result in your being forced out. As for the wisdom of taking kids on tour, I'd steer clear of that discussion unless expressly asked. They're not your kids so they're not your responsibility. Suggesting to parents that they are not doing a good job (whether it's true or not) is a recipe for disaster and not really any of your business. [/quote] +1. Well said

    That's a lovely bass. Great price too. Mine is newer but still fab. Have a bump

    There is an Items wanted section on the forum. Perhaps youd want to try there?
