Just an observation, I just got a bass with only a position marker at the 12th fret. Actually it's large and goes in between the 10th and 13th frets. It does have side markers. I've never had an instrument without fretboard markers and was a little concerned about them not being there. Turns out...

Always been a huge Priest fan and I've been aware of these for quite some time but they were pricey. Well recently MF had a what I'd call a clearance sale on what they had left. I actually think I got the last 1 they had. They were marked doen to 1,799. I pulled the trigger. The bass needed a...

I think it's really cool that it made it this far in that condition. At this point more of a collector piece to be displayed and/or played carefully in a safe environment. You'd have to be out your mind to take this to a bar. I have no interest in it at this price whether it's worth it or not, I...

Well the Spector Ian Hill arrived last night after dinner. Not much time with it yet but my immediate impressions were, it needs a setup which is to be expected as its 6 years old and was sold as new so its been in a shop (GC) for 6 years. Also its in like new condition, kinda surprising...

Looks a wood inlay to me. My PV USA Millennium has wood dot inlays. I thought it looked odd at first and wondered what they were for a time. Turns out maple dots on a Pau ferro board.

I have nearly a twin of your Ibanez. Mine's a 1990 SR800le, jewel blue. Has the red writing on the pickups (forget what it says), I've had it for years. Can't bring myself to sell it, many "better" instruments have come and gone in the time I've had it.

Well, I took a shot and I think I got the last one MF had. I have been thinking about these and the price was lower than any where else that still had one. This'll be my only single P pickup (albeit reversed) bass.

Anyone have one of these? He is a big reason I play bass at all and these are on sale right now. These seem to have very unique fearures as far as the Spector Euro models go. A unique thin neck, only one P pickup instead of p/j. Near as I can tell it may be the only of these with that pickup...

Thanks. Yeah it's a plastic piece with the layout on it. My initial thought was to take it off but I figured it's been on there all this time I may as well just leave it.

I ordered this a week or so ago after another GC used purchase didn't go like I wanted. Anyways this is 98 Fender American Deluxe Jazz bass with the Suhr pickups and preamp. Very happy with this one! In very good condition with only some swirling and very light scratches from playing. Would all...

I've had good luck with them most of the time with GC used. Never been more than disappointed if a purchase didn't work out. Not out any money. There's a GC near me and I have stuff shipped to the store and go get it there. If somethings obviously wrong it never makes it home. Stuff like the...

I thought about that. I actually bought and sold some stuff that way on another forum quite a few years ago (the old FDP). It went mostly ok. Had a trade go sideways there though and it made me leary of those transactions. Though I would do it again for the right piece of gear. The main reason I...

I noticed that. I asked the sales guy and he said it just looked crooked not cocked in the hole, if that makes sense. I figured I can just move it back or replace it. I will contact you if I need anything, thank you for that offer.

I'm pretty sure they are. This was the last year they were used I believe. Suhr pickups and preamp were stock for 3 or 4 years 95 to 98 until the stock was used up. That's the way I understand it. I was thinking it should have Fender noiseless and I figured they were aftermarket. I was fine with...

I buy used but used and taken care of, that said the 1st ding, scratch or what not is already there. I do have a 01 Peavey USA Millennium that as far as I can tell is still waiting on its 1st scar. That's gonna hurt, she's a beauty. I've bumped the headstock into stuff but so far all good.
