Schnozzalee Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Hope you find it again mate; I'd like to find a couple of my previous guitars too - amazing how they drop off the radar like that (unless kept in the BC community!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcus bell Posted April 29, 2013 Author Share Posted April 29, 2013 to be honest mate a few months back, i tracked it down through a few pm's to certain members but now i cant remember haha would love to find it and buy it back, it was an amazing bass, i worked so hard getting the action and playability just right.... if you look at photo 2 you can see how low it was, but no buzzing, just a great playable jazz bass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hamfist Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Good luck tracing it Marcus. I suspect many of us have one or two similar basses that we regret moving on. Personally, I have a lovely surf green Status Energy I sold last year in my mind. Can't for the life of me understand why I sold it. It was a cracker that, in the same words that you used, "played itself" in my hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassman Steve Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 (edited) I have mentioned this before but I'll mention it again just so you know there's always someone worse off than you ............... I have owned (and let go); 1953 Precision #0189 (it cost £995 when I bought it); and An original 1966 slab body Precision (which cost me £895). Which one of us has the biggest regret. Hope that makes you feel better - I just feel more sick!!! Edited April 30, 2013 by Bassman Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynottfan Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 I was going to post to Marcus that selling my Ray 4hh in black with chrome plate made me fell bad, I see your list Steve, 66 slab ouch! 53P £995, yep you win!

3below Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 (edited) In my case I traded in a 1958 EB2 against a Precision in 1977 (I doubled my money). I would be more than happy to have it back, not likely though. Edited April 30, 2013 by 3below Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ead Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Yeah, I sympathise too. My Spector Legend 4 is, I think, around BC somewhere and I'd definitely have it back. [attachment=133883:Spector Legend 4 13.jpg] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stu_g Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 i bought a 1975 precision for £150 quid and swapped it for a very dodgy eb3 many years ago doh! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
police squad Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 paid £550 for a '62 P bass in 1989.sold it for £550 in 1992 to go on holiday. It wasn't as good as my '75 but would now be worth a bit more than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White Cloud Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Good luck with your quest Marcus. I bought a brand new Wal custom on the old never never back in 1985 for £750. Didn't drink, drive or entertain any voluptuous females for 6 months whilst I paid it up with every penny I made. John Entwhistle even briefly played it on one of those bass centre bass weekend master class things. In a moment of absurd nonsensical halfwittery I swapped it for a brand new Jaydee supernatural - which subsequently developed a terminal neck back bow. It was a real dog of a bass. Almost 30 yrs on I still consider it the stupidest act of my life...and I have done some really stupid things! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish I'd kept a lot of basses that I sold in moments of absolute madness, including a leather scratchplate Wal that I sold for silly money in the late 90's! Sold it to a good friend and great bassist, but I still wish i hadn't! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
