phsycoandy Posted October 15, 2009 Author Share Posted October 15, 2009 SOLD PENDING THE USUAL. I saved long and hard for this bass and will miss her badly. I happened upon her with a freak phone call to Bernie 3 years ago nearly, but times move on and situations change. She was a dream bass and still is and I'm sure the new owner will appreciate her imeasurably. Apologies to all the guys who were struggling to sell gear to finalise the deal and to all the PM offers etc. Andy Grabs Whisky bottle and swigs. Oh well..........

I had to go today and lift £1600 but unfortunately i have to give it to a plumber tomorrow when he finishes our new bathroom. All the way home I was thinking what if................

phsycoandy Posted October 21, 2009 Author Share Posted October 21, 2009 Pete. Mr Thunderthumbs. apparently he played her the day before I collected her from new and fell in love then so perhaps it's right in the end that he finally has her, although you will understandably dissagree!

Gunsfreddy2003 Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 Think you are right Andy - a good new home/owner. Still just a bit miffed that I could not raise the necessary but that is the way things go sometimes - now if I could just persuade Russ to sell Bentley in 6 months time!!!!

Thunderthumbs Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 Well......got home just over an hour ago. What a very, very, very long day! Been on the road since 7.30am, and been driving for most of that. But.......it's been 1000% worth it. Got her home and immediately played her (it must be a 'she' ). And what a dream to play. Just feels right straightaway. Andy....I know how you feel. I also delivered my Warwick Thumb to joe_bass today, and I can't deny there was a little something inside me that was sad to see it go, as I've owned it for 18 years. But like I said at the time, it's not been used in anger for at least 2 years, so better to go to someone that'll give it the use it deserves. Once again, thanks for making it easy for me. And I promise I'll look after her. Cheers, Pete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the equivalent of driving from ours to Newquay and back again in a day.....which I'd never do!

Just after I'd advertised my G&L, I uploaded the photos of my P to photobucket, then spotted Mark's topic in the "Items Wanted" for Precisions. One of them was a 70s P in black with a maple neck. That was exactly what mine was. So we agreed a fee and the deal was done, just like that. And your avatar...I would mind 'maintaining' her . Don't think the wife would encourage it though .
