  1. Hey, I'm interested in this item and I was just wondering how large the gaps are on the board
  2. If this is still here after 16th of august ill take it
  3. [quote name='Bassassin' timestamp='1451088944' post='2938291'] One o' these: [url="http://www.rickysounds.co.uk/Bezels.html"]http://www.rickysoun....uk/Bezels.html[/url] Very sensible way of not lacerating your thumb on the sharp metal edges of the standard surround. Looks better than a bloody great hole, too. Jon. [/quote] Thanks a lot! You're an absolute life saver!
  4. [size=6]I know that the neck pickup has a Zero-Mod thumbrest but does anyone happen to know what is covering the hole of the bridge pickup?[/size]
  5. [quote name='yorks5stringer' timestamp='1446581614' post='2900608'] Not sure what type of glue it is? Is there a corresponding solvent/glue remover? A Luthier should be able to get it off, I wouldn't recommend you using steam if it is water soluble. Will dental floss bite into the glue and could you saw it out? In future you only need a tiny drop of glue to locate a nut, for the very reason that if you need to replace it you want to be able just tap it out! Worst case scenario is you remove the broken nut in pieces and you have to buy a replacement. If you are handy with files, buy a dog bone and make a new one, just photograph the existing one first! [/quote] Thanks for the advice
  6. So several weeks ago I bought a second-hand Yamaha BB 5 string. When taking the strings off to drop some lemon oil on the neck, the nut fell off the bass. I tried putting the nut back into it's slot and securing it but it kept falling out. At this point I was quite annoyed that the nut wouldn't stay in. I grabbed some glue (Home Essentials Extra Strong), put a few drops into the slit and glued the nut in. After a while of playing (after the glue had already set completely) I noticed that when i was to be playing on the G string, the string would often slide off to the side of the neck. When I looked at the nut again I realised that the part closest to the G string is slightly off the neck. Not in line with the width of the neck. Basically, this problem is a big issue for me because i very much love this bass and I really don't want to have to buy another. However, this problem may be able to be fixed by using thicker strings (Currently using 40-125 gauge) which I would like to avoid as I like these strings. Any help with my problem would be highly appreciated. -Phonder
  7. So last week i got Marcus Miller to sign the headstock of my P Bass. I'm worried about the signature rubbing off or smearing. Is there any way to stop this from happing? He used a black Sharpie and the neck was from a 2014 Mexican P Bass.
  8. I might take it. £190 seems like a really good price and ive always wanted one of these. Im located near the Sunderland/Durham area. However, ive never bought anything off here so i have no idea how to buy it haha
  9. So I've just bought this Yamaha 415 5 string bass and I'd like to know when it was made but i cant find anything that could help me. The serial number is QLL279062.
  10. I've been looking at Ibanez 5 strings for a while now. Soon i will be going to London but if i cant find anything i want there, then i am going to buy a 5 string Ibanez SR. However, this one here is cheaper and better than the one ive been looking at. I get back from London at the start of August so if this is still on here (which i highly doubt because its a bargain) then i would love to buy it from you!
