Thanks for the informative replies.

Move the strap button on the Epi TBird. (You might have to buy a longer strap.) Then see if the Gibson is good enough to justify the price.

I'm four of the unique visitors (two work PCs, one home PC, one library PC). The four of us are very grateful for the existence of BassChat, and for all the hard work of its admins and moderators. Thank you all. Also, [quote name='ped' timestamp='1349958288' post='1832688'] Just been browsing our analytics ...[/quote] Fnarr, fnarr

I bought fabrocker's three-necked monster bass. An easy transaction without problems; I'd be happy to deal with him again. Thanks!

I've bought far too many basses here.

Give him credit for honesty, hm?

thanks gentlemen, much appreciated Answers: The neck and body fit well. None of the four neck-holes align with the six body-holes. However, the four holes in the neck are at the same distance from the centreline (and presumably the trussrod) as the six holes in the body, so I am not too worried about that. This popped up today on eBay, so that might clarify the origin of the body. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vintage-1960-s-Kay-Precision-Bass-Guitar-KB24-Neck-Plate-/261108965007?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item3ccb4e9e8f I'll update when I have more.

I love that headstock design

hi folks I recently acquired this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/170908835881?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649 which as you will see has a six-bolt neck plate. The neckplate is a factory job (the countersinks are chromed). I bought it to fit a fretless Hohner neck, which is four-bolt. Should I fill the holes in the neck, before trying to fit it? Constructive advice would be appreciated

I play mostly covers. Sometimes they are not very conventionally arranged

Bought Greg's Squier MB-4. As before, a pleasure to deal with and recommended without hesitation. Thanks Greg

I've never tried to ship a double bass but I reckon it might cost that sort of money?

:jealous:

ouch... Good luck!

put a webcam in it, so you can put the view of the audience on a screen
