  1. I'll say.
  2. I have some exellent imitation Fender branded foam.
  3. Just sold Brian a strap. Excellent to deal with, plenty of PMs and quick payment, one of the good guys that make this site what it is. What's not to like people; deal in full confidence fellow BCers.
  4. Goodness. However that is exactly the kind of bass I'd really want to hand over in person even if it meant meeting half way.
  5. Very sweet indeed. I really like that level of relic and as you quite rightly say it's not to everyone's taste but sod 'em. Just so we can upset Prowla what's on the headstock I've just re-discovered the P/J since my Spector Legend owning days (the first series with P/J and 3-band EQ). I've just grabbed a cheapie Tanglewater Classic Jazz which has received a few upgrades!
  6. What about a few AC/DC standards if your singer has that kind of vibe? Whole Lotta Rosie Let there be rock Back in black etc. etc.
  7. I think people are nervous about couriers, and giving the relentless rise in web-based retail and the 'next day delivery' promise the pressure on the logistics side of the business is only going to increase. The slightly inevitable consequence, given the power of the big players like Amazon, will be price pressure on the service deliverers and therefore probably less care. The delivery vans are routinely over programmed each day and surprise, surprise most companies use transits as they are not required to have a tacho to monitor driver hours and rest periods, not to mention speeds. I spent some time working in logistics management so I know a number of the 'compromises' being made.
  8. A further harness from John has been acquired, this time a P/J wired V/V/T and now fitted. Can you believe it, it arrived quickly, was easy to fit and improved the tones my limited talents can generate. Outrageous.
  9. Thanks for all the interest, the strap has now been sold.
  10. Which RW did you buy, was it one of the 50's?
  11. Bastards.
  12. I keep staring at this one, so please do me a favour and buy it! http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Precision_Roadworn.html
  13. Will do #1 has pulled out, now waiting to hear back from #2...
  14. What about the jack socket, would that require switch cleaner?
  15. The value of anything is only what somebody will pay for it, so if XYZ bass can be sold for £ABC pounds then that's its value, whether that's perceived to be good or bad value is sort of by the by..
  16. OK thanks, I've sent you a PM as well now.
  17. Here is the promised picture. Having had a bit of a measure I think this one runds from around 120-145 cms or so. I hope that helps everyone.
  18. No not yet. But you should have had a sticky from me, did you not receie that?
  19. Just for the avoidance of doubt I will post a pic and measurements as soon as I get in tonight. I have contacted everybody on the list now and I thank you for your patience.
  20. Hi folks, I've had a lot of interest in this for which I am most grateful and I will deal with all of you in strict order to be fair. So the earliest post or PM comes first and so on. Please bear with me.

    string death

    I'm not a big fan of the NYXLs, as a serial D'Addario user I tried a set out but now I'm back on my preferred set for fretted basses the EXL170BTs. I am now hoping that these don't get discontinued.
  22. Can somebody please tell me what style is; I'm a bass player after all?
  23. Good pints folks, will get measuring and photographying asap. If it helps I'm 6'3" and I had to shorten it from full stretch length. I've just been on their website and I think it's this one but not 100% sure on that front: http://www.harvest-guitar.com/en/Cow-Antique-The-Classic-oxid.html
  24. Just sold Jon a harness. Totally stress free one of the good guys. Many thanks for your business.
