Sorry if I am being a complete numpty, but I have to admit that despite being a member since 2010, I'm still not sure how to leave feedback. Do we have to go into feedback and then search for the member's name, if so, wouldn't it be better to have a "leave feedback option" when clicking the member's profile such as this?

1 x Fender USA Jazz/Precision Machine Head (Brand New) 2008 - 2012 NOW £15 Posted!!! I purchased this tuner a couple of week’s ago for my Fender American Standard 4-string bass, but it is the wrong one, this for a Fender American Standard 5-string bass (Fender Part No: 007-5115-000). I purchased it from America at a cost of well over £40 with the duty and taxes. It is brand new and only taken out of the bag for pics.

Fender American Standard Precision Bass - Sunburst 2008 £795 Posted!!! SOLD!!! I'm having a proper clear out of most of my basses because I want to get down to just two gigging basses, I've sold quite a few recently and this is another that has got to go, I think I might regret it because this is one of the best American Standards I have ever played, everyone who has tried it agrees that this is a beauty to play. It comes from a smoke and pet free home, it has been gigged and shows some signs of wear but nothing more the a few small dings that haven't chipped the paint. The neck is virtually "as new" and "unplayed" because I have used a jazz neck on it from the day I purchased it, I have now just put the original P neck back on for the sale. If you can get over to Bridgnorth in Shropshire, you are welcome to try it out for yourself. The original Fender hard case and all the case candy is included in the sale.

Fender Road Worn 50's Precision Bass - Sunburst 2015/6 SOLD!!! Sorry, No Trades. I'm having a proper clear out of most of my basses because I want to get down to just two gigging basses, I've sold quite a few recently and this is another that has got to go. It comes from a smoke and pet free home, and has not been gigged, so it's in great "roadworn" condition. If you can get over to Bridgnorth in Shropshire, you are welcome to try it out for yourself. The original Fender padded bag and all the case candy is included in the sale.

IBANEZ SR500 £125 Posted!!! SOLD!!! This is an Ibanez SR500 that has been stripped and resprayed (not professionally) by the previous owner, but it looks ok and everything works fine, I purchased it a couple of year’s ago as bass that I can take to open mics and jams without worrying too much about it, but I no longer need it so thought I would sell it on to someone who might get some use out of it. The neck has also been rubbed down including the headstock, and the tuners have been replaced with brand new Warwick tuners. All the electronics work fine, it has active circuitry (battery included), and has Bartolini Mk 1 pickups. It is a powerful sounding bass and has a variety of tones to cover most genres, it still sounds like a SR500 As stated, this have been stripped and resprayed (not professionally) by the previous owner, so it’s not perfect, but everything works as it should, and would make a great bass to mess around on at jams and open mics, etc.

Importing One pickup from the US: Total Rip-off
thebrig replied to Spoombung's topic in General Discussion
Big BladeMan 4 is £135 + £5 p&p Total £140 in Bass Direct, I make that £68 cheaper -
That's what I had more or less resigned myself to do, but I think a fellow BC'er has come to my rescue with two matching tuners.

I didn't break them, I happened to come across one of the best Jazz replacement necks ever, so I decided to spend time working out a template so I could drill the holes to accept the locking pins so I could fit the neck to my American Standard P bass using the original tuners, now I've decided to fit that neck to a "home built" p bass which I'm really happy with, so I'm now thinking of selling my American Standard P bass on so I have to put the tuners back on to do so, I've got a matching drop D tuner and I found one replacement tuner, so I now need two more tuners to fit to my favourite neck. Bit complicated I know

GOTOH Pre CBS Vintage Relic Reverse Tuners £75 Posted!!! SOLD!!! I bought these for a “roadworn” precision project, but I actually bought a real Fender 50’s Road Worn last week, so these are now surplus to requirements. They are exactly the same tuners that are on the Fender 50’s Road Worn series and were purchased in the USA, they are very hard to find in the UK and cost silly money if do manage to find a supplier. I will ship them in the original box.

Just had it confirmed by a Fender parts dealer, the locking pins do NOT line up, why discontinue the old ones and bring out newer ones that are not interchangeable? Looks like I'm going to have buy a set of completely different machines that hopefully will cover the two holes in the back of the headstock. Gutted!!! If only I could find a couple (or a set) somewhere.

I worked for a small online company and the stock amount was always visible to the customer, the moment someone ordered and paid for an item, the stock reduced, and once the last one was sold, it displayed "out of stock".

It happened to me in December, I payed £89.99 (inc postage) for a EMG Geezer Butler Precision Bass Pickup, got a confirmation email saying my order is now being processed, then I received a second email the following day saying it was out of stock, so I emailed back asking for a refund. They reimbursed me quite quickly, but it's a real pain when online companies don't show that something is not in stock on their sites.

I've tried Schaller without success, thanks anyway.

I haven't, but I will now. Cheers

I need two replacement machine heads for my P bass but after searching literally everywhere around the world for months, I just can't find any anywhere, they have been discontinued and replaced by the lightweight open gear type. My question is, does anyone know if the locking pins on the new ones are the same dimensions as the older ones? if so, I will buy a complete new set. The top two pics are the older ones and the bottom pic is of the newer ones. Any help would be much appreciated.
