[quote name='TheGreek' timestamp='1464634268' post='3061025'] How about putting it in the raffle at the Herts Bash if you're coming?? [/quote] I didn't realise there's a chance of Jamba coming! With "The Door" too? That would be an honour!

Unless I sell it in the meantime I'll be bringing an Aria bass that's for sale. If I can find the instruction book I'll also have a Boss drum machine for sale too.

Cleaning ebony fretboard... recomendations?
Grangur replied to CamdenRob's topic in Repairs and Technical
Hi Rob, if you've not done if already and don't have oil, I can bring some linseed oil to the Herts bass bash next weekend. -
Shielded bass - tone stopped working!
Grangur replied to bassituation's topic in Repairs and Technical
My thought would be to line the cavity with plastic to stop connections occasion the electronics coming into contact with the shielding. If won't stop the shielding working, bug it will prevent short-circuits from happening. -

[quote name='steve-bbb' timestamp='1464552206' post='3060298'] not as much as eejuts who dont look after their instruments then try and pass it off as 'cool mojo relicing' first against the wall when i rule the world [/quote] Please do help me; what is "cool mojo relicing" if it's not evidence of someone not looking after their bass? After all isn't "cool mojo relicing" faking what happens if you don't look after your bass? Edit: I once saw a "Roadworn" bass sold as "in mint condition, no dings or scrapes". Isn't that missing the point? I creased up. -

[quote name='Paul S' timestamp='1464531765' post='3060119'] Another option is forget the screws and use double sided tape. [/quote] NoNails is good stuff too. (DO NOT try this at home!)

I just checked. All my PGs have 13 holes, I guess you've thought about the option of getting a 13 PG and drill 2 holes in the right places. Nothing else for it... Have you seen the Basschat Market Place?

[quote name='largo' timestamp='1463499825' post='3051847'] Can I ask, would the handle fit on the top side (not the side side) of the One10 cab? I have a plan of using a 16" x 12" drum case as a cover/carry bag for one of these cabs. Cheaper than the £50 BF want and probably more padded as well as easier to carry etc. It would be easier to remove the cab from the drum case if the handle was on the top. Although got to make sure the amp will clear the handle too. Cheers. [/quote] You mean like this? https://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=cajon+drum+case&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Acajon+drum+case It would fit, but I think you'd want one where the strap webbing goes down the sides and under the bottom. A One10 is light, but not a light as a cajon.

Hi there and welcome to Basschat. I have a number of spare Fender ish pickguards but I can't help you because I'm not that into Fender technical issues to know the difference. So maybe you could do well to help those who may otherwise be able to help you by adding a picture to this thread?

[quote name='Chienmortbb' timestamp='1464518604' post='3059979'] You do not say which Westone you have but the preamp in the Thunder 1A is awesome. The Thunder 1 is the same bass but passive. [/quote] It could be a Westone Jet. I've got one. It's also a passive P. It's awesome too.

Am I the only one that gets annoyed by adverts for fake Fenders
Grangur replied to Kex's topic in General Discussion
Just another thought here: Imagine for a moment that you were the owner of the company who made a Fender-like range of basses. Maybe you are John Shucker, for example (sorry John, your basses are better than Fender I'm sure). One night you go to a gig and see a bass You made there on stage. You're thrilled at the tone, the sublime sound, the colour the finishing and how it looks, except you notice something changed.. The owner has taken your name off the head and it's now advertising Fender! All YOUR work is now being used to make the biggest competitor look good! Even if the original supplier was Gear4Music or Rockburn surely credit should be given to the true maker? This still being so even if you have changed the bridge and pups: the style is,still theirs. -

[quote name='Kex' timestamp='1464366376' post='3058942'] No I did see that (hence the comment) so would seem Mr Hall has scared you, but seems he's not scary enough to worry eBay or the numerous Bass gear forums on Facebook? [/quote] Multiple million$ legal cases don't scare some sites. The owners of BC don't have such deep pockets. Or maybe you would like to talk to the owners of BC with your offer to insure the site against such action? -

[quote name='No. 8 Wire' timestamp='1464042633' post='3056120'] As if by magic its flashier cousin just turned up: [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vox-Custom-3002-Bass-MIJ/142002565853?_trksid=p2045573.c100033.m2042&_trkparms=aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20131017132637%26meid%3Da36480a6d47347118b5c689f3edf4bc1%26pid%3D100033%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D4%26sd%3D142002565853"]http://www.ebay.co.u...%3D142002565853[/url] Anyone played one of these beauties? Anyone know what the nut width is? [/quote] Anyone know if this would have started out looking like this? My gut feel is it would have been painted and someone's been lucky in what they found when stripping it. But you never know. Moving on... anyone seen this? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/121998284001?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2661&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT It looks nice. It ended yesterday with no bids and they've relisted for the same price. Is this a bargain? Any opinions? -
As the title says I've got 2 strings from a set of Fender 0.24 - 0.84 250B6 strings left over from fitting to a 4 string bass. These are brand new and free to a good home. Can't think why anyone would want them, but maybe the'd fit a guitar or something? PM me if you're interested.
