They are truss rod ends. My thoughts too. Without removing the original there's no way of telling.

The parts to address the truss rod issue arrived today. Packaging was a bit of overkill.

by Stevie Wonder or Ray Charles??

You've done well - the Ashdown gear is great VFM and high quality at that. I've heard good things about Revelation basses, again great VFM.

Years ago I went to my local music shop to buy a metronome. I quoted the online price to him to which he replied "I can't even get them for that". Business now closed.

and probably less expensive than direct from Warwick

I think this seller may have overpriced other items in the past too.

You may want to ring my local tech, Mal, to discuss. http://www.theampworkshop.co.uk/

Going to look at it on Thursday - so much for "no more impulse buying".

Scary expensive (thankfully) but I still like it.... https://reverb.com/uk/item/13118007-yamaha-sb1-c-flying-banana-1960-s-blue https://reverb.com/uk/item/42365254-yamaha-sb-1c-late-60s-yellow?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=13981464659&utm_content=campaignid=13981464659_adgroupid=123697206423_productpartitionid=1397566533115=merchantid=376840503_productid=42365254_keyword=_device=c_adposition=_matchtype=_creative=535009618475&gclid=CjwKCAjwx8iIBhBwEiwA2quaqxRosKmkgiraWwZtjHeZC4jrmWAc-lKx3BbiCjkO14-2k4EinbOrZBoC0fcQAvD_BwE

Thanks Paul... I've sent him an email...hoping that it's expensive...

I looked at the shop site - couldn't see it. Any idea on the price? Oh no, not another impulse buy!!

Collection only from Elgin though...a long trek for most of us.

Currently maybe - once you start on 5ers there'll be more stuff to tempt you. (the voice of experience)

Spectorcore bass - weigh a little over the weight of an atom - maybe two. Actually the 5er comes in at: Weight: 8lb 4oz/3.7kg

...and if you do have any issues they are members here so you can PM them and discuss. @D'Addario UK

D'Addario have been really supportive of the Bass Bashes in the past and IIRC gave BC members a discount on the NY line. Good guys - maybe Ped needs to offer them a discount on advertising for a discount on strings for BC members...

Tell us more....

...and they say reminiscing isn't what it was.
