  1. He must be running out of stuff to randomly stick onto his basses - this is the first time I've seen one with matching control knobs
  2. Incredible work and result. Top darts all round
  3. I've often wondered if this process was possible (seriously considered taking a forstner bit to the wood underneath a very weighty P basses scratchplate) so this thread is fascinating to me
  4. Yeah I've often wondered that, he seems to have an allergy to matching parts up. Rarely have two knobs the same on any given guitar, nor pick ups. I'm surprised he doesn't do the same with the strings
  5. ...I cant seem to find the right size. I have a Fender Deluxe Precision Special which I use for my day to day frivolities and general musical gallivanting. I'm looking to change the hardware over to black for no more reason than I'm a bit of a tart tbh I've ordered 3 lots of replacement knobs from a well known auction site, but they're all to small to go over the pot shafts. The bass has 3 regular pots and one stacked, also a tiny little two way toggle switch. The shafts in question appear to be 5.5 - 6mm diameter across, anyone know where one might be able to source a more errrmmm….. girthy knob? Or four?
  6. Just received a bass from JohnR, ruthlessly packaged, the courier stood no chance - Mwahaha!!! etc Many thanks to John, to all else, deal with confidence
  7. One of my fave basses is a £100 J&D jazz that I bought coz I like the colour, gets picked up more often than counterparts that are five times the price
  8. Mind BLOWN! But id still buy the bass probably
  9. Having waited for several years for IMO the most beautiful bass ever made to come up for sale, and not being sure it ever would TBH, then finding I had no money when it actually did and letting it slide for ages, only to finally end up with it my hands, Id say keep it. Its gorgeous, as an objet d'art its worth it surely
  10. The reason my beloved TE GP12SMX had to go, and I was in my twenties at the time
  11. Lovely! How much? Where from?
  12. Combinata bass VII? Look more like a IV to me
  13. Hmm. Are we seeing the work of a certain BC member?
  14. That bridge doesnt look like its in the right place to me...….
  15. So what is the official name for the colour of that bass? Saw Derek Forbes play a similar one a few years back with big Country and wondered what it is ever since
  16. Mine runs DR's as well, and yes sings like a singy thing.
  17. Oooh I got one of these too, a very very capable instrument it is as well
  18. Another J&D jazz here, bought from this forum, sea foam green with black hardware. I've slimmed the neck down a little and its a little cracker
  19. Unbelievable. I bought a set of these brand new literally two hours ago. if Id waited...….KiOgon would have still beaten me to it
  20. Indeed. And sadly the bad thing about Ebay is sellers can 'fine tune' the feedback that gets left, thus. Couple years ago I spent a tennerish plus postage on a clothing bag/suit protector type thing off Ebay, was from a seller with large product turnover. The product was advertised with all the usual guff we've all come to know and love "Hi quality....super tough....etc etc " It tore as I tried to take it out its plastic bag packaging. A bit miffed, I left them negative feedback and set about trying to find a decent product (Which I haven't to this very day, I don't think they exist) Day or so later I received an email telling me that if I retracted that feedback, they'd refund me in full. Now, how many people would go for that sort of deal? A very large percentage Id wager. I didn't as it goes, coz I was so p*ssed off and I'm generally a very stubborn bugger. I left my feedback there. But I never got a refund.
