Mr. Foxen Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 If I hadn't just dropped my jazz project at Tom Waghorns for assembling I'd have so scored that for the purpose. Now I'm putting up with a red hung in a window till it faded to pink finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He only has lefties at the mo but his stock changes all the time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thedontcarebear Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 That's a friend of mine selling that, sold and bought things from him before too, so it should be decent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weirdest way I've ever seen of packing a bass - he stuck the label onto the gigbag, and taped a bit of bubble wrap around the headstock Surprisingly its fine - neck feels similar to an SX 62 Jazz, but slightly more closed...will do for leaving at work...

thedontcarebear Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 I've never bought from him and had it posted, although I dislike buying on ebay, mainly because of how people post things (like a bit of bubble wrap and an Engl valve combo!).

You get to play at work? So does it sound like an ordinary SX jazz?[/quote] Yup Parcel Post...erm think the £20 postage was a little steep Yeah I can play for as long as I want (usually play for about an hour/hour and a half - bass playing is just a bit of fun). I could probably play for about 5 hours a day at work if I wanted - the clue is in my username, if you want to know what I do Don't know how it sounds - my 15month old toddler has already tried smearing it with Apricot jam. I have NEVER seen such a dry fretboard - fed/cleaned it with some lemon oil and its looking a lot better. The strings look orginal too (practically unplayed).
