Or you could buy my LM11 that I put up for sale on here today!

Thanks, much appreciated!

Hi, just upgraded from LM11 to the 800 (not tube) and on the rear panel I have pre and post EQ buttons that are set in the out position. Are these functions purely for DI ing? I only play with backline set up so dont go through any mixer or PA. Do I leave them in the out position? Also the groundlift is set in the out position. Is this correct for UK? Cheers

Mine....Fender Jazz 50th anniversary. Only 200 made!

[/quote] £900 mate for a custom shop....are you having a laugh? It's more than double that and it's not near mint....it's MINT! Btw I'm not male so all your assumptions are totally incorrect. £7 might be worth it for as many adverts as you want to put but I'm only selling one item and its a guitar so doubtful it would strike up much interest amongst bass players and how likely are you to tell your 'bandmates' there's a guitar for sale thats going to cost them a packet. Yes, it was free last time I used this site to source a ltd edition bass so I was surprised that it cost £7. It would be far more profitable to charge £1 for every item that's advertised whether it be a set of strings, fx processor or expensive axe. I wouldnt use evilbay but rest assured it got advertised on reputable sites. It's a shame your guitar buddies didn't get to hear the full details about an amazing guitar that is a worthy investment.

Tried to put up a post to sell my mint custom shop artist series USA Fender Strat but got a message saying it now costs £7. Appreciate website owners need to cover costs but thats a bit extreme when I can post on gumtree etc for nothing.

Tell them straight. Songs should be gig ready and studio time for getting tight as a band. Why should you have to hang around waiting for them to learn their part AND pay for it!

Our guitarist at a gig: 'I kept f**king up because one of the stage lights was shining on my guitar. I didn't want to turn it off in case it looked unprofessional.' My rely: Err...not much point in looking professional if we sound like cr*p because of your numerous mistakes. Now if he had taken a step to the left or right, the light would no longer be on his guitar so really it was a poor excuse. The real reason is he had not picked up his instrument since the previous gig and assumed he would remember. My bass tutor taught me this: Practice doesn't make perfect....it makes permanent!

I wanted a candy apple red with matching headstock but Far East did not have anything like it. However, I'm sorted and am now the proud owner of a brand spanking new 50th anniversary Fender Jazz bass!

I had already tried Fareast but they have nothing like the jazz I want.

Unfortunately I don't like sunburst, cherryburst, off white or woodgrain. The colours I prefer somewhat limits me and usually at a cost. :0(

Just had a quote from ishibashi for a Japan Fender 1975 Reissue Jazz and with shipping import tax custom duty and VAT it's no cheaper than buying form a UK dealer. As follows: Cost of bass: £927 Add 3.9% import duty = £962.65 Add 17.5% VAT = £1131.12 Customs clearance: £20 (approx) Grand total = £1151.12 Same bass at Guitar Emporium priced at: £1149 What's the score? I was under the impression that basschatters bought from Japan to save ££££'s. Some people claiming they got theirs for £300 - £350. Are they talking about used? Give me a heads up please.
