I'd bet money that's been cut down from a normal-ish body. If I'm right, it'll dive like a pro footballer.
-
Indeed. I really should not have done that...
-
Silly number. Many Peaveys. Skinny necks, generally (though I'll never sell the Vox Standard, which has a neck like a treetrunk, and I seem to be much happier with thicker necks on fretlesses). Plus an Ashbory, and a couple of uprights I can't play. Yet.
-
Okay, that's not going to be there long...
-
Might be a good deal, if it's in decent nick. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Farida-Bass-Guitar-with-Stagg-20BA-Practice-Amp-/271624247144?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item3f3e111768

[quote name='bagsieblue' timestamp='1412195383' post='2566732'] because I like posting the pics - here is the pink one: [/quote] I still want it -
I bought Paul's Peavey tuners. No issues at all and I'd happily deal with him again - this is at least our third transaction, it might be as many as five... which should tell its own story. Thanks mate
-
Not my thing (nor in my budget!), but I'd always be a little uneasy about buying something like this from someone who doesn't know how to spell the singer's name.
-
With bogus Ritter decal on the headstock. Hmmm.
-
[quote name='timmo' timestamp='1412110998' post='2565855'] Whenever i see user names like that, it puts me off bidding on the item [/quote] This. Even more so if they have a name like nine_bob_note or similar.
-
I'm pretty sure it's going to be cheaper and simpler to replace the tuners than the neck. I'd guess your best bet is to buy decent-quality second-hand tuners, and see how you get on with them. You can always sell them again if you decide to go the hole-drilling way.
-
Is it the tuner size or the tuner quality that's the problem?
-
One other question: Are you certain there's enough wood in the headstock to do this? Sorry to ask, but I'd be really sorry if it went badly wrong and I hadn't...
-
Professional carpenter/cabinet-maker? They would know how, and probably wouldn't charge the earth. Exeter has docks... there will be boat repair shops. (Is there still a museum of boats there?) Is there a woodwork evening class you could get to? That should have access to proper workshop-sized power tools.
-
I'd guess you'd be better off in the Repairs and Technical section? I'm guessing that if you want to go to 14mm diameter pegs then you will struggle with a hand drill, whether you've got a drill press or not. What sizes are you starting from and trying to get to?

[quote name='gazgoldstar' timestamp='1412087278' post='2565515'] A little bump for an interesting virtually brand new bass! Do you think it would be wrong/cheeky to post this in the EUB/Upright marketplace too? [/quote] I think it would be a bit cheeky, myself. Perhaps that's just me though. -
There is usually one of these for sale on eBay somewhere. I wouldn't own one if you paid me, personally.
-
Ouch... Thanks mate, appreciated.
-
[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1411900163' post='2563596'] They're for making a time-honoured gesture at the Conservative Party Conference. [/quote] That would be quite reckless.
-
well, if it goes for about £40 then I suppose the buyer might be able to break for parts. Maybe.
-
Mismatched tuners...
-
IIUC they are fine as starter basses or as projects. But I don't know, I'm not a fan of the P neck.
-
The lower horn does make them look sort of Jag-hybrid.

Mint looks nice. I also like black or grey marble.
