    I really do admire your work ethic. 👍 I've just come back from being in Spain for five-and-a-half weeks, but three weeks before I was due to go, I was offered the opportunity to join a tribute band, I spent those remaining three weeks learning the set. Before I went, I enhanced the bass in all the songs so I could hear it clearly when I was laying by the pool on my sun bed, I listened to the tracks over and over again worrying that I would have to start all over again when I got home, but I was pleasantly surprised because when I started going over them, I felt refreshed, and my playing was much more fluent, so maybe a break can do good. I'm not saying it would work for you, but it certainly did for me.

    The neck is still okay at the moment, but if the truss rod finally goes, then I will give him a shout, he's only lives a short drive from me.

    Yes, I met Robin a few years ago when he was playing bass with his band in a local pub, I didn't know him at the time but I got chatting to him because I didn't recognise the bass he was playing, turned out it was one of his own custom builds, he gets some amazing reviews.

    Tim just bought a P bass from me and it was a very pleasant and easy transaction. Highly recommended BassChatter, deal with confidence.

    Yamaha FG420-12A 12 String Acoustic Guitar Due to the onset of arthritis in my hands, back problems, and old age, 😕 I'm now selling off a lot of my gear. Although painful, I can still play bass for short periods, but playing guitar is nigh-on impossible for me now, and I'm not really a guitarist anyway, so I would rather move it on to someone who will use it regularly. It sounds amazing with a big 12-string sound, and is in excellent condition with just a couple of tiny dints that hardly notice which is to be expected on a guitar that's over thirty years old. Very comfortable slim neck (46mm Nut). You are welcome to come and try it for yourself at my home in Bridgnorth. Collection is preferred because I have no case or box to ship it in, but might deliver for fuel costs.

    If it is a Sonic, and it certainly looks like it could be, then I have to admit that they are great basses, the only reason I'm selling it is because I already have two other P basses, and the fact that I've played just one gig in the last six years, then this bass is probably one too many. 😉

    That's works with me, I'll send you a PM with the details.

    I listed this earlier as a Precision Bass with "unknown origin", but I've since been informed by a fellow BC'er that it might be a Squier Sonic Bass with a Fender decal applied to the headstock, so I've withdrawn it and have now re-listed it with a new description. I purchased it some time ago from a seller on Facebook who told me he wasn't sure of it's origin, but the fact that it had a J neck appealed to me because I prefer the narrower J neck profile. If it is a Squier Sonic Bass, then I think that £125 is a fair price because it's in excellent condition, plays well, and has powerful pickups that gives you that typical P bass tone. You are welcome to come and try it out at my home in Bridgnorth Collection preferred but might ship if buyer arranges the courier, or I might meet up within a reasonable distance from Bridgnorth. https://uk.fender.com/products/squier-sonic-precision-bass?variant=49502342250783

    Okay, I'll withdraw it and then re-list it with different wording. 👍

    Is there any way of knowing, I took the neck off and there's just a red written "C" on it?

    It's a Mighty Mite neck which I purchased brand new nearly twenty years ago, I've owned many high-end basses, including American made Fenders, but this neck feels so right in my hands which is why I don't want to replace it, so I was wondering if the truss rod is replaceable?
  14. thebrig
    I've had this jazz neck for years, it's been on loads of different bodies and is by far the best neck I've ever played, but I'm now worried that the truss rod might be coming to the end of it's life because it's now pertruding out of the truss rod slot, does it need replacing, and if so, is it costly to do so? Thanks.

    It would be good if the OP would come back and actually explain what he means by his question. 🤔

    Here's me in 1967 wearing my "kipper tie", and playing my Burns Sonic Bass that I purchased second-hand for £15 from a mate's mate.
