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

I sold a bass to Ville, which he was unhappy about due to an error on my part. It's been a painful experience but absolutely none of that has been his fault. He has been a complete gentleman throughout and I'm grateful for his patience and courtesy.

... I don't actually believe it's worth that much, somehow. (Warning: Guitar content! ) [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LES-PAULS-PERSONAL-GIBSON-WHITE-CUSTOM-FROM-THE-COVER-OF-HIS-AUTOBIOGRAPHY-/221078874232?pt=Guitar&hash=item337953e878"]http://www.ebay.co.u...=item337953e878[/url] !!

so... how do Bensons compare with, say, Sue Ryders?

[quote name='chaypup' timestamp='1348242735' post='1811356'] It was the Jazz 'Precision' that I zoomed in on and it appeared to say Vintage on the headstock.

Pretty sure it says "Benson".

[quote name='oldslapper' timestamp='1348226394' post='1811052'] It's pretty much like a Hohner Jack, with a P pup. They're nice little basses, don't see why this shouldn't be? [/quote] Agree. I think this looks better than the typical layout, TBH; the lumpy Fender body doesn't look so bad, somehow.
