I bought a Cog T-16 from Lee a few days ago and it arrived today. Flawless and straightforward transaction with excellent communication throughout. Many thanks!

I bought an MXR distortion pedal from Brian and the transaction couldn't have been smoother. Prompt and friendly communication. The pedal was with me in under 24 hours and exactly as described. Many thanks.

The PJ arrangement on a P bass is great. It gives the normal P tone when soloing the P pickup. Soloing the bridge pickup gives the sound of a soloed Jazz bridge pickup. What it won't give you is the sound of a Jazz with both pickups on full. The P+J pickups together give a very different sound (and one that I'm not fond of). The only thing I like both pickups on a jazz on full for is for slapping; otherwise I prefer weight the pickup balance to one or the other of the pickups.

You could get Jon Shuker to put a new fretless board on an existing neck for £150. I'm considering doing this on a fretted jazz I just bought. Alternatively he builds necks to your specification from £250.

Unfortunately, because of my need for a SLO Special neck, I'm unlikely to find one in UK stock so buying sight unseen is my only option.

I always wanted a Stingray but when I bought one I couldn't get on with the neck, which is why I ended up with the Sterling. Swore I'd buy a SLO Special as soon as I could afford one.

Hi guys, just wondering if any of you owns a current-production (USA) Stingray and could comment on the build quality. I'm considering ordering a Stingray with a SLO Special neck but it's a huge amount to shell out if it turns out to be rubbish. I have a 90s Sterling, which is absolutely wonderful, but the last Stingray I played (from about 2010) left me disappointed.

I bought a Fender American Standard Jazz from Seán at the weekend. We'd communicated about it a while back and arranged a mutually convenient weekend. Excellent communication all round and the bass was in great condition as described. He was very accommodating and offered me lifts to and from the station in his home town so that I was able to catch my train on time. Was nice to meet such a nice bloke and his family and hang out for a couple of hours too. Deal with confidence.
