"Currently " reasonably priced. Probably not for long though https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/225394323005?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=9ftQxeKfSKK&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Currently at £123 and 15 bidders. This won't sell at a bargain price.

I got in contact with Yamaha last year and they sent me two truss rod nuts which allowed extra adjustment. This isn't the issue - the neck bows inwards - I've let the tension off for several months with no ascertainable improvement. Others havea suggested steaming the neck - not as straightforward as it sounds though I'm sure someone who knows what they're doing could make it good again. That's not me.

I don't think it would hurt to run 18v if you do. Personally, with the experience of my SimS system, I don't think you need to add any more pups to the equation.

There's no way that you could ever have known this but I lived in Greenock many years ago. The street? Braeside. Amazing but true. Cosmic or coincidence?

The neck on my BB615 has a concave bow. If anyone has a spare lying around, please let me know. I actually have a neck from a BBG5 I could trade if it makes a difference.

I was given an exercise regime for my hands by a physio at my GP. I didn't find that it helped but others might. I'll post it later.

Anybody need a P body for a project? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/404127177693?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=aykEQ0-QRJW&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=3arTyUkpQE-&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

I know that @Grangur just bought a Yamaha wearing Black Beauties. Send him a PM.

I've updated some of Terry Chapman's info but for those needing some work done in North Herts Terry has been having treatment for Cancer for about two years and is not taking on any new work currently. Please check Gary Mac's details - he's based in Hoddesdon. Hoping that he gets well soon.

Now you just need to sell all the new Sax stuff to generate more money for Bass GAS...

Ah, so it's a Holy Bass?? Sorry, but surely you expected that...

So you won't be interested in this little project just down the road. Only £69 https://www.gumtree.com/p/guitar-instrument/aria-fretless-bass-guitar./1451145110

IMO that's the problem for sellers. We've become accustomed to low prices rather than fair prices.
