    [quote name='Stacker' post='629427' date='Oct 18 2009, 01:09 PM']here you go:- [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Fender-USA-57-Precision-Bass-American-Reissue-White_W0QQitemZ220492231501QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV?hash=item33565c734d"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Fender-USA-57-Precis...=item33565c734d[/url][/quote] Lovely innit! I'd love to have a go on one but I guess it'll be a long time before I even see one in a shop 'round here.

    Its stunning. I'm in love! It only fuels my GAS for a '57 reissue.

    I still haven't been able to try one! Each time I go in to Birmingham's PMT they never have one. I owned an '01 Precision and foolishly sold it because IMHO it was one of the best P basses I've played.

    [quote name='wayneyboy' post='627286' date='Oct 15 2009, 08:04 PM']trade for ebs 4x10 proline?[/quote] PM'd Cheers Wayne. I'd be happy to do swapsies with a bass of the same value (£650) but it would have to be sold to fund next years trip down under.

    Nice! Good price as well.

    I guess do your homework on the deals available. The interest rated can be very high so you might want to consider a bank loan or even a credit card where the overall payback total will be less (as long as you are sensible, unlike me)!

    EBS are great cabs and after owning a few different types of them I settled for the two Pro Line 4x10s. For cabs with lots of bottom I'd try Markbass cabs (from experience) as they seem pretty big on the bass thing!

    [quote name='GreeneKing' post='625207' date='Oct 13 2009, 04:46 PM']Is it only me that, undoubted rarity value aside, thinks it looks 'okay'?[/quote] Okay? just okay? ....... I mean just - okay....? really, just okay? Peter, well really! :snob:

    Ten grand on a good vintage Fender or Ten grand on a motor? I'll be taking the bus thanks. Yeah its a boat load of money, well certainly for me but in my book its worth it. Remember you'll more than likely get it for a few quid less with your suitcase of cash!

    I think its one of the nicer Traben basses I've seen.

    [quote name='LukeFRC' post='624368' date='Oct 12 2009, 08:26 PM']i don't doubt that it's a brilliant bass as laklands suposedly are, and most of them look good, but that's odd looking, like a cartoon version of a '57 fender[/quote] Well it is a 'Donald Duck' Dunn..... I'll get me coat.

    I like it but why dont they put the old reverse type tuners on it? My Lakland Skyline DD is one belting Precision, if I do say so myself! Maybe slightly heavier than I would like but certainly not an issue.

    If I had the kind of money which allowed me to buy a bass like that I'd have it. People pay a fortune for questionable works of 'art' and buy new cars and loose thousands as the drive it out the showroom. Its a great investment piece.

    Back up for sale sort of BUMP!

    Due to over stretching my finances I'm going to have to part with my Jazz bass. This is an 'A' series Squier from around, I guess 1985-86 ish. Its in not too bad nick with just a few small knocks and play ware, most noticeably a dink where the paint has come away on the bottom edge of the body roughly about 10mm. The pickups have been replaced with Wizard 64s and I doubt that the scratch plate is original. The body colour is very off white but the camera dosnt pick this up. So what with the 'mojo' (dont like that phrase either) it looks pretty vintage. The bass comes with a gig bag but I could also post it in a tatty old hard case. So there you go. I have to admit that I'm not sure what its worth £250 + P&P? Cheers, paul

    ohhhh aahhhh That is quite something!

    Is there any Australians here who would say that this is a good price or not? I for one think its a bit OTT. Lets see if it sells or not.

    The opportunity has arisen for me to get my originally desired rig of 2 x EBS 4x10 cabs so this baby has to go. I've owned it for about 6 weeks and I've done some gigs with it and its preformed outstandingly. The sound it kicks out is massive, reminding me of the Ampegs I used to use. The cab is practically unmarked with only scuff marks on the corner protectors. Going by its condition it looks like its had very little use. For a large(ish) cab its not too bad moving it about. It weighs in less than the EBS 4x10. There is also a new cover for the cab, one of them off ebay which cost over £50 but worth every penny. I paid £650 for it so I'll be looking for the same. I wont be interested in trades for amps/cabs, the only bass I'd be interested in would be a late/new US Precision. Postage is a bit of a no no but as ever I'll be happy to meet up within reasonable distance from Shropshire. I'll be happy to provide more pictures if required and iAMP800 not included! Cheers, Paul
