    Carnival in small Dorset town last Sunday. I was rubbish. Rest of us were OK-ish.

    [quote name='Green Alsatian' timestamp='1373543298' post='2138818'] A pleasure dealing with you sir - glad you like it! Funnily enough, I did at one point consider looking for a cheap Westfield Jazz to swap necks - seemed more appropriate, somehow. I love the twin-P configuration - I've got to stop looking at pictures of older BC Rich Eagles. [/quote] Likewise, on both counts

    Bought some tuners. My second purchase from Owen. All well, good comms and efficient. Recommended. Thanks

    Maybe the OP should try ground-rounds?

    I bought Green Alsatian's modded one (pups upgraded, extra P pup). I like it, makes a nice noise. I will be putting a Jazz-ish neck on it though

    I'll vote Peavey here.

    I have a telebass-style Retrovibe which dives like a loon. Hanging stuff from the bottom strap button doesn't work IME - I'd have had to double the weight of the bass. I'm looking at three options: a.) extend the upper button; b.) rework the strap so it hangs entirely from the left shoulder and has a retaining strap across my back; c.) use a modified neck plate with an upper arm to attach the upper strap end to. Each of these would work. The question is, what's affordable, and easy, and idiotproof ( ) ?

    If you want a cheap intro to short-scale basses, Ibanez GSRM-20 is a well-made starter. But change the strings

    [quote name='seashell' timestamp='1372881470' post='2131177'] The great thing about your posts, Nigel is that they are full of passion and love of music. That's not bollocks. [/quote] This, absolutely bang on. Well said.

    I've had the band-split-and-reform-without-me thing. I wasn't impressed. (The "new" band played a vanity gig (leader's birthday) and vanished. Not my problem.)

    If Rasta says it's a good neck, I will believe him

    ooo... a Fender I think is good-looking. Now that is a rarity

    the jazz back is gorgeous - I'd just varnish it as is and I love the body.and headstock shapes. Does the body have a curved front?

    Surprised this is still here. John's a gentleman and a scholar, too.

    [quote name='bluejay' timestamp='1372786943' post='2130018'] I assume not many non-Warwick basses have an adjustable nut, then? Why? (Genuine question - I'm surprised that such a clever thing is not very common.) [/quote] FWIW, I didn't know before this that [u]any[/u] bass manufacturer offered an adjustable nut... thanks for the heads-up
