  1. Bastards.
  2. 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
  3. Will do #1 has pulled out, now waiting to hear back from #2...
  4. What about the jack socket, would that require switch cleaner?
  5. 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..
  6. OK thanks, I've sent you a PM as well now.
  7. 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.
  8. No not yet. But you should have had a sticky from me, did you not receie that?
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  12. Can somebody please tell me what style is; I'm a bass player after all?
  13. 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
  14. Just sold Jon a harness. Totally stress free one of the good guys. Many thanks for your business.
  15. For sale is my Harvest leather strap. It's nice and soft and in good condition. Just not being used. £15 posted to mainland UK. I'll sort a pic or two out. NOW SOLD - Many thanks for the interest.
  16. Favourite: The real kick in the guts from bass pedals at live gigs (in case i have the terminology wrong I am referring to the ones that look like organ foot pedals). Least favourite: Probably synthesized hand claps.
  17. For things Fender Japan try this: https://support.fender.com/hc/en-us/articles/214343783-How-can-I-find-out-when-my-Japanese-made-instrument-was-manufactured- For the other one not so sure I'm afraid. Maybe the BC hive mind can help.
  18. I went through a variety of sets before I found out that I really liked the D'Addario EXL170BT sets which now inhabit all of my fretted basses. I have tried their new NYXL sets but they don't do it for me in quite the same way so I'm hoping that the EXLs don't get taken out of production any time soon. On the upside pretty inexpensive next to your GF's favourites!
  19. Me neither, but then I'm just paranoid
  20. Is anybody still waiting for their pickups to be returned?
  21. Interesting thread that caused me to revisit my '66P again. When I was looking to buy I deliverately sought out a vintage bass that had been played rather than cherished, so to speak, in the hope that the wear would point to a bass that people had enjoyed. So my bass has scratches, wear marks and pickguard that is slighly warped and a few corrosion marks on the hardware. To my ears, and those of others it sounds great though. The neck has a beautiful feel to and I enjoy playing it as often as possible.

    Bought some strings from Mark. Smooth and easy and he went above and beyond to get them in the post to me quickly. Many thanks.
  23. Now sold, thanks very much for the interest.
