    The one I'd be sorriest to see go would be the bitsa fretless P I put together myself. In the right circumstances I might give it to someone, I suppose. But It's not worth anything anyway, so that's easy for me to say.

    Thanks gentlemen

    Tune down a semitone?

    There's a lot to like, IMO, but it won't please everyone, for sure. If it plays well and sounds nice, there's nothing there to put me off (except the price ). But there's nothing there which screams "Buy Meeeeee!!!!" either.

    No worries. Good luck with your sale

    [quote name='timmyta' timestamp='1474076255' post='3135489'] if this is still available when you come up here I may be stupid enough to buy it [/quote] I suppose I should actually try to be helpful... I'm expecting this to be about the 15th-20th October.

    Hmm... any trades? (I'm trying to work out a way to trade for Interpol52's SRF700 - which I'm sure he'd trade for this.)

    [quote name='Karl Derrick' timestamp='1474098924' post='3135548'] [u]Up until the Victorian era[/u] the word 'Girl' applied to both male and female children [/quote] Really? I've not found a reference for the Victorian - best I can do is the Old English, which would be pre-Elizabethan (1400s?). Source, please?

    [quote name='Funky Dunky' timestamp='1474097206' post='3135535'] Identical to my Jim Deacon! [/quote] Quite possibly. Assuming that's not some sort of euphemism, that is...

    Thanks, gentlemen - appreciated. I'll have a look. I do need to get rid of it though - repaired/bodged or not.

    A raga on Radio 3. Sorry, missed the title and artist.
  19. alyctes
    Indeed. Just a shame I don't know what I'm doing, eh?
  20. alyctes
    I suppose the other thing would be to get a preamp/pickup set which needed 18 volts - which would need a two-battery route, which would be bigger, which would obliterate the evidence of this foulup.

    After my initial shock has worn off somewhat... It's very 80s - though there are similar Italian designs from the 60s, IIRC. I wonder what it weighs - that extra upper bout (?) has to add to the weight. I suspect that doesn't actually do much except add weight and look, um, "different" seems the least controversial word - so I don't know whether I'd bother, even if I could afford it.

    Ouch... That's no help, I know. But good luck!

    These are better than their price suggests, IMO. One of my guitarists has one of these (now working properly since I had a go at it ). It would make a good starter, project or backup bass - I might have learned to love P necks if I'd got used to one of these when I was first [s]playing[/s] making a noise with a bass.

    P-bass body requiring finishing. A partly-shaped but unfinished P-style body with a nicely figured top - possibly bubinga? £30 plus carriage. Some things which should be noted: - The routing for the controls is quite large (and crude); it won't fit a Fender P pickguard. - The bridge holes are not positioned exactly square and would need adjustment - probably filling and redrilling? - One of the pickup mount holes has come through from the front. It's approximately 4mm diameter. looks to be 4mm or so. I've shown this in one of the pics. (Don't look at me, the previous owner done it guv...)
