But would you be happy with the Jazz shape body? What about a P neck and P body with Jazz pups?

[quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1435921708' post='2813612'] experience makes me think that perhaps you're at the end of the thread on the truss rod, and the 'forcing' you've felt is the nut trying to cut more thread on the rod..? Is it possible to take the truss rod nut off, insert a suitable thick washer, and try again..? [/quote] Spector's have a two-way truss rod and I don't think you can do this in the way you would with a traditional Fender style rod.

If it was me... If you've just bought it you need to PM the seller. Then take it back to the Gallery. Maybe the seller might shoulder the cost of the set-up? I certainly wouldn't mess on with it any further.

.... Get a Longhorn anyway.

If you've been using your ears all your life I think you are eminently qualified.

I like that rapping bear from the Muller Rice adverts. I'd pay money to see him live. Next years top act perhaps?

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1435579116' post='2810132'] I believe that a lot of these bands would be far happier if they could move on and leave much of their music of the past behind them. [/quote] Maybe. But if you headlined Gladstonebury and didn't play Sticky Pants Trance, frankly I'd feel robbed!

[quote name='Beer of the Bass' timestamp='1435568057' post='2809988'] I much prefer Robert Plant doing his own thing to the Led Zep re-union a couple of years ago. [/quote] I met Robert Plant and he said that Stairway means nothing to him now. He said he much prefers the stuff he is doing now, although no one will play it! Really nice genuine guy.

[quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1435518726' post='2809651'] An yes, but which side of the tracks, eh? [/quote] The ones he stole

[quote name='White Cloud' timestamp='1435444936' post='2808928'] Kanye - [i]"Rap is the new rock and roll, and as the biggest rap star in the world I am the biggest rock and roll star in the world"[/i] [/quote] Do they still rain bad acts with bottles of piss at festivals? Was always a feature at Donnington and Reading.

[quote name='spongebob' timestamp='1435419538' post='2808628'] Considering what's he's been through, I think Lem is doing pretty good for 69. He'll do it until he drops....probably a long time after most of us! [/quote] I should imagine it's Motorhead that keeps him going. Was pleased they played Over The Top, one of my fave riffs, just mahoosive!

I have to say, in spite of my earlier comment about Lemmy running out of puff, I thought the band were great. Phil and Milkky looked like they were really enjoying themselves and all told, I reckon it would be pretty good if you were there.

It was sad to see Lemmy looking so frail. He's lost a lot of weight and looks like his clothes were wearing him. His power is no longer there. I suppose time waits for no man.

Great! But is MacD's Icini a Status?

[quote name='basskit_case' timestamp='1435299110' post='2807316'] I wouldn't get away with that on eBay or in the for sale section here. [/quote] I'm not so sure. Many sales in the marketplace here state that goods will only be shipped at the buyers cost and risk.

If they can't get Insurance they can't get insurance. I suppose your options are to pick up in person or negotiate a generic hard case. Or don't buy from them.

[quote name='bluejay' timestamp='1435094978' post='2805501'] [/quote] I see Jack's halo is slipping!

[quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1434958408' post='2804033'] Nice to be in a position to tell Apple to f*** off. [/quote] Yeah? Well, f*** you in all!

The Godfathers used to come on to the theme from The Persuaders. It was bostin! Once the singer handed me a can of Stella as they walked on, mint!

Welcome

I think the standard is Mahogany, but I also believe you can spec others
