  1. Where are you based? If you need an amp in the East Midlands/East Anglia are I can help with a loan.
  2. [quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1341492775' post='1719942'] Buy another neck, with blocks already in place, and swop it over. Keep the original somewhere safe, and you can always revert to it, or replace it should you want to sell. [/quote] This ^^. At least then you can go back if you don't like it.
  3. I have a Hiscox case that is a perfect fit for my Rick 4001.
  4. I had a Kramer ally necked guitar until my son inadvertently gave it away. I still hope to get it back one day. Hurts the hands to play on cold days, but certainly a talking point on gigs.
  5. That looks stunning. I want one!!!!
  6. [quote name='Gust0o' timestamp='1340627062' post='1707176'] f***ing hell, that's brilliant and tragic! [/quote] There is a happy ending, of course. He glued the new break together with Araldite too
  7. An aquaintance of mine had an EB3 which he knocked over. It fell off the stage and the headstock snapped off, so he glued it back together with Araldite. He was asked if it was a solid joint and he said yes - watch - and banged the headstock on the floor. It snapped again - in a different place!
  8. [quote name='fingerz' timestamp='1340374112' post='1703599'] You need as many basses as you need. Right? [/quote] You need as many as you want
  9. [quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1340373421' post='1703569'] The formula is: Enough basses = n + 1, where n is the number of basses you currently own. [/quote] I would say enough = n + x, where x is the number of basses in existence that you don't yet own
  10. Maybe the bass:room ratio could become a measure of standard of living?
  11. Telebass - can you explain this concept of "enough" please? I still have rooms in my house without a bass
  12. Yup - that's what I was aiming to do. I find it odd that the pickups as fitted have so little scope for adjustment.
  13. You mean that Fender sponge is not intimately bound to the meaning of life, the universe and everything? Damn - my whole lifestyle needs a re-evaluation.
  14. Looks like mouse mats are the way to go. Thanks for all the advice
  15. The problem, Yann, is that it is at the limit of its foam cushion backing. Loosening the screws further doesn't raise the pickup, which leads me to believe that this how it's supposed to be - unless the previous owner wound it down so tight that the foam cushion has been compressed.
  16. Hi everyone Here's a question for the Precision experts out there. I recently bought a Mexican Diamond Jubilee Precision, and the pickup seems very low compared to my other basses. The gap from the top of the pickup cover to the E string is 8mm. That is a lot more than I would normally expect, but is it normal for a Precision? Thanks Greg
  17. I need one bass but have nine. They are all played, either at home or on gigs. I like them. 'Nuff said
  18. Thanks Gary - I have PMd him
  19. Thanks Truckstop - I'll do that
  20. Hi everyone I am pimping a Mexican Precision, and would love a green tortoiseshell scratchplate - the darker the better. Does anyone here know who could make one? Cheers Greg
  21. I bought a Godin Freeway A5 from Alex. It was a great deal, and Alex made it easy with communication all the way. The bass arrived on the right day and was very securely packed. It was a pleasure to do business with Alex.
  22. If I had the moulah, that Hamer would be mine. Unfortunately I spent it all on a Godin .......
  23. [quote name='crez5150' timestamp='1338409318' post='1674260'] We have something better 500 Watts RMS [/quote] I'm drooling already
