  1. [quote name='Mr H' timestamp='1320094689' post='1422355'] Did you tell 'em?! [/quote] *sigh*. Of course! Surely you don't think I would have palmed it off on someone unsuspecting?
  2. Someone offered cash for the neck, and it's gone Thanks for all your suggestions though, I'll keep them in mind if I ever get the confidence to try it again
  3. Hello! Welcome (?) Nice of you to do that, bit of common courtesy is always appreciated in these parts
  4. I like. A lot. And I've "liked" you on Facebook.
  5. Isn't it strange - I always tell myself that I am only allowed as many basses as will fit on my stand. I have one of those racks that [i]are made to[/i] hold 5 instruments. But I currently have 7 basses balance precariously on this rack Technically I'm not breaking the rules that I set for myself but do you guys think it's getting a bit silly now?
  6. [quote name='BassBus' timestamp='1319993792' post='1420974'] Oh, if a bloke had said that... Find a local luthier who I'm sure will be able to sort it for you. [/quote] I can't afford that unfortunately. I'm really gutted I was looking forward to having this neck on my Squier P, and spent an hour this morning sanding the neck pocket to fit properly etc. Very bummed about the whole thing.
  7. I don't know how to do any of this stuff without making a hash of it girls weren't meant to play with drills and screws and stuff! I'll have to sell it on. If anyone fancies a bargain, it's over in the classifieds. I can safely say I've learned from this mistake!
  8. Double cr@p. I heated it up and then tried again when it was cooler, and the damn bolt broke off even further in to the wood. Argh, now I have no idea what to do. It's about 1mm under the surface of the wood, and there's no way I can get to it. The neck still fits without a problem on the bass that I took it off, but it won't go on the bass I wanted to put it on
  9. Sigh. I've broken the top 1cm (including the head) off a neck bolt. The remaining piece is still in the neck. There's about 1.5cm sticking out, and about the same amount still in the wood. I've tried using pliers to remove it but it just won't budge. Any ideas?
  10. Metallicy Lake Placid Blue SX jazz bass body for sale - fully loaded. Excellent condition and everything working. The pick guard is white but currently has a layer of matt black vinyl on. I can remove that if you like. Collection from Gloucester. Asking £75 which is a very good deal. Any questions or offers, please give me a shout.

  11. Shame you have to sell this Dave, I know how much you love it. But anyway, I'm the aforementioned previous owner, and it really is a stunning bass. Sounds great, feels great, everything's great. In fact if I was rolling in cash right now I'd probably buy it back. And Dave is a good guy to deal with.
  12. Excellent! No special trips though mate? I'm happy to wait until the next time you're coming over this way, wouldn't want to put you out.
  13. Cheers Matt! Yes I am female, wouldn't call myself a lady though
  14. I have a spare Warwick hard case. It's not in mint condition as it has a few scuffs and small tears in the tolex, and the tolex won't stick to the top of the case for some reason (too tightly applied in the factory perhaps?). Over all, it's not bad really. The edges and corners are in great nick and the handle is good. It's fully functional and has 4 latches that work great. Two of the catches have a lock, and I have the key which will be included. I don't really have room for it so I'm letting it go. £15 firm, collection only.
  15. Cool! Which ones did you order? One stereo barrel thingy and one normal one? I'm in Gloucester, will that be an issue at all?
  16. [quote name='Andyjr1515' timestamp='1319391304' post='1413549'] Hi How urgent is your need? I visit Cheltenham quite often (we have a main factory there) and could do it for you but it might be a week or three before I'm next there during an evening Happy to do it for free. Andy [/quote] That's very kind indeed Sir. Much appreciated. I've dropped you a PM.
  17. I'd really like to learn to solder, but find online guides so hard to follow without making a mess of things. I'm willing to have a go, just extremely nervous that I would mess my beloved basses up! How do I know what parts to order?
  18. I'm keen to find someone who can help me out. Basically, I need the jacks replacing on two of my basses (one is a Spector with active EMG's and one is a passive Squier Precision). The local music shop can do it but they require me to leave my basses there for a couple of days, which I don't like doing. I'm hoping to find someone who can replace the jacks for me, and also let me know what parts I need to order - I'll be happy to pay for your time for the repairs at a pre-agreed rate. Thanks in advance
  19. Bought an SX from Mike - no issues at all, would deal with again
  20. Bought a Thunderbird from Andy - no issues at all, would deal with again
