    [quote name='Grand Wazoo' timestamp='1344300764' post='1762591'] [url="http://www.fender.com/en-GB/products/search.php/?partno=0325212507"]http://www.fender.co...rtno=0325212507[/url] Squier is very proud to introduce its new Telecaster Bass Special, which presents an exciting new sonic and stylish twist on a long-familiar design. Its time-honored body and headstock shape are well balanced by a comfortable medium scale length (32") that will appeal to bassists and guitarists alike. Remarkable tonal versatility comes from its large chrome-covered Fender®-designed Wide Range humbucking neck pickup, Duncan Designed™ JB-102B single-coil Jazz Bass® bridge pickup, and three-way blade switching (both pickups together and each pickup individually). Other distinctive features include black "barrel" switch tip, knurled chrome control knobs, vintage style bridge with four chrome saddles, vintage-style tuners and strap buttons, and single-ply pickguard (white on Black model, black on Vintage Blonde model). [/quote] How did I miss this! Perfect!

    Bass collected last night. Quick tighten of the strap screws required then......nothing! Looks like a packet of broken biscuits! Brilliant. Had a quick skelp using Amplitude and it is smooth. Really good buy. Maybe needs new strings and a minor set up tweak but plays cracking for its price! Would like a look at their Jazz version too now. Try and get some pics up later.

    Looks great mate. Keep us posted.

    [quote name='Green Alsatian' timestamp='1345981943' post='1783736'] I had one of those, picked it up as a 'couldn't resist' buy-it-now - it sounded really nice and the neck felt great. I liked the relic effect on it too - not an obvious 'lets take a sander to it' job. I only let mine go as I'd not long put a set of DiMarzios in my Peavey Zodiac BXP - I'd definitely have another ESP without question! [/quote] Cheers dawg man!

    [quote name='jezzaboy' timestamp='1345974717' post='1783628'] Looking good Paul! Where did you get it? [/quote] Gumtree. GAK and others do it as well. ESP £1500 version: At a saving off £1150, I can live with the difference.

    Bargain!

    Wow! Cool! If you reduce the window width the headstock sticks over the end? 3 D Bass pics next?

    No more worrying about dings, scratches and cracks!

    Cracker!
  13. merello
    Poor Cenas! Excuse my English, 'cracker' means really good. It is a compliment! Sorry my friend - I was not accusing it of being a fake!
  14. merello
    Free bump for a cracker.

    [quote name='Ou7shined' timestamp='1344247898' post='1761571'] I came here to correct a statement about soft and hardwood infestation but the author must have realised it was balls and deleted it. Fact of the matter is that they can go for most woods but only specific parts of the wood are of interest to them ie they don't like heartwood. I've seen ancient oak beams riddled with worm (my dad has a Tudor country house in Suffolk - incase you are confused as to why a NE Scot should have experience of an oak timberd building ) but they only look at the outer layers. One of the best ways to check if your woodworm is active is to tap the suspect wood and see if sawdust comes out the holes - the fresher looking the sawdust the more likely it is to have been made recently. Don't worry about your house or it's contents disappearing overnight as most modern construction timber is treated and your furniture, other basses etc will be coated with distasteful (to them) materials. Besides, when the adult beetles emerge they must find a partner to mate with... it is unlikely that they will find one in your house so the will either find their way outside or die a virgin inside.

    UPS [size=6][b]U[/b][/size]ndelivered [size=6][b]P[/b][/size]arcel to [b][size=6]S[/size][/b]cotland Read from top to bottom. Won a guitar from Charvel and Fender GB sent it immediately. Poor Russell North of Fender sent the tracking number and said it would be with me Friday the 3rd of August. Then we both had a laugh as it moves around the British Isles like the Olympic torch! Arrival Scan: Tamworth, United Kingdom, 08/05/2012 11:51 P.M. Departure Scan: Dublin, Ireland , 08/04/2012 12:13 A.M. Arrival Scan: Dublin, Ireland, 08/03/2012 6:45 P.M. Departure Scan: Tamworth, United Kingdom, 08/03/2012 3:51 A.M. Arrival Scan: Tamworth, United Kingdom, 08/03/2012 12:59 A.M. Departure Scan: Barking, United Kingdom, 08/02/2012 10:22 P.M. Order Processed: Ready for UPS Germany, 08/01/2012 10:12 A.M. OK - how difficult is it to send a guitar from England to Scotland? UPS are really giving it a go! Feel sorry for Fender who have been great and are being let down by UPS's circuitous meanderings. I'm fully expecting my plank to be multi-stamped by passport control!

    So the consensus is we have a Pee bass and a sh*t bass?

    Firstly - American calendar dating system. Should have arrived last Friday but it was diverted to The Edge's tech for inspection. Secondly - Bassa!

    Tom46 to Me to Edster to Donnyboy....the Basschat bloodline is there! Miss this bass like crazy man! Set up by 7string at the time, think I also put some new capacitors in it and shielded it with copper lining (no guarantees!). Bought and fitted the black scratch plate too. What a technical wizard I am! Sold it in a GAS attack to get something better and never succeeded. If I had money I'd buy it with confidence.

    Jealousy is such a negative emotion but difficult to hide! Had a wee strum of this in MCM before our friend from the East came bearing gifts away from Glasgow. Love the look and really enjoyed the feel of this bass. Absolute cracker mate! Think it is better with the white plate too.

    Think JJB used a Hiwatt Guitar rig for his bass work early on!
