I found a pair of replacement truss rod nuts recently sent to me by Yamaha UK. I think that they're metric. PM me with your address

Thanks for what you do during the day.

Currently... Give it a while and the GAS will get to you and your collection will increase. When I joined I had one 4, one 5 and an acoustic. I have a few more now

Three relatively expensive basses already?? You'll fit in perfectly here....Welcome.

I'll wait 18months and look at a used one. After all it's not a P or a J so any Fender aficionados who get one will move it on for the reason above.

Message from Guy Hellier: Definitely one if Bruce's later basses. He had an endorsement with them for a few years and they even did a signature limited edition target one. Obviously, this is from his FTJ time but definitely a very nice piece for a collector. Happy bidding!

Did you knab the 4 string P type that was on ebay recently? I looked at that but I'm not playing my 4s so passed on it.

IIRC wasn't there some fella called "Pastorius" or something that used to have a go??

I've just looked at the Warwick Black label strings (which used to be around £15) - they've shot up in price to over £20.

...which sell for less than a tenner if you shop around. https://www.bax-shop.co.uk/electric-bass-guitar-strings/warwick-42200-m-red-strings-stainless-steel-4-string-medium-electric-bass-guitar-strings-045-105?utm_source=google&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=surfaces&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=18344726315&utm_term=&adgroup=&creative=&gclid=CjwKCAjw69moBhBgEiwAUFCx2Mjm7981Na0i-2luIx5U-Mn01_AM0L7ojkyzI1cvOV_1pvOZkCKzpRoCybYQAvD_BwE

When I started it was Rotos or Dean Markley - I don't think that there was even a choice of gauges - not in my local shop anyway. I now use flats or tapewounds where possible. They may seen expensive initially but they seem to last forever and I wouldn't be surprised if Noah used them on The Ark in his spare time.

Message from Guy Hellier - he'll contact BF later this week for more info. Hmmm - what are the chances we could get him to come to this year's SE Bash?? 🤔🤔

You can never have enough cake.... What a daft question. Of course there are Tea and Coffee making facilities - what would we have with your cake?? 😊😊

I've always had amazing customer service from Ashdown - I would say "second to none" (though Bernie Goodfellow is up there too). My experiences with Warwick have been less to shout about but TBF I have had no dealings with them since 2015. It must have got better in that time.

I contacted the seller : Me: Just to be clear - is this a bass that was owned and played by Bruce Foxton? Accepted that he does play a Waterstones bass but all the photos I can find are of him playing a WHITE one. Obviously with many would be buyers the attraction on this item is that it was once owned and played by BF. Just making sure before placing a bid. stenew8773: Hi / thanks for your message- I purchased it a couple of years ago and that’s how it was sold to me and obviously when I met the seller he specifically confirmed he had bought it form I believe Peter Barton who I believe is the booking agent / manager of from the jam - he provided the COA To be fair I took him at face value I would not under any circumstances want to mislead anyone at all It might be worth checking directly with Peter Barton who I believe is in barnoldswick as to it provenance - I didn’t buy it from him I bought from a guy who lived in Rawtenstall I hope that helps Thanks for the prompt reply - obviously, as I stated, potential buyers won't be buying this for the bass itself - it will be because of the provenance. I've sent a few messages/ emails out to see what I can establish about this bass before making a bid. I can't find any images of BF using a red Waterstone - only white. I've sent a message to Pete Barton and Waterstones. I'll send you everything that I can find out - hopefully it will strengthen the credibility of your ad. New message from: stenew8773 (30) Thankyou - obviously if it’s not real I will mortified I think I will suspend the ad until I hear back from you Reply The ad has been pulled. I have also sent an email to Pete Barton (Management) and Guy Helliker (Bruce PR agent) who is in Vietnam currently. Waiting for them to get back to me.

I been looking at these. Managing to resist so far.

I had one a few years ago (my first BC sale actually) - if you're looking for a lightweight P bass this might be right up your street. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/295952828440?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=kY3idlu2TC2&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=3arTyUkpQE-&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
