  1. https://ritter-instruments.com/jupiter.php (Or possibly just go through an external pre)
  2. Phew. The balance of the universe is restored!
  3. Is this the beginning of a Kanye death hoax?
  4. At least this guy's parents didn't miss a trick: https://www.crunchbase.com/person/chris-peacock
  5. Whatever the interval Em is the 3 chord if you're in C Maj. Going up, the interval between the two is a major third, going down it's a minor 6th, but it's still the iii in terms of the key of C. Mind you, I talk sh1te sometimes.
  6. It's a neck, tuning machines and string tree from a 2020 Squier Classic Vibe 70s Precision Bass. Which I reckon is about 50% of the bass itself. (I have the pickups, bridge, neckplate and pots somewhere if anyone's interested, for a few dollars more). It's a maple neck in vintage tint with maple board and black blocks/binding. Includes the original tuners and string tree. All 100% stock. The only mark on it is where some of the varnish on the truss-hole chipped when the rod was turned. See here: The whole thing is finished in the spirit of the poo-brown flare-clad Capri-driving 1970s. It has been barely used and frets are all in perfect nick.Truss turns and works properly. It's a slim, shallow neck for a P-bass, and fitted the body it arrived with perfectly snugly. C profile, 'crafted' by a CNC operator in Indonesia. Collection from Hove, or UK postage at cost (choose your preferred courier). More pics:
  7. I'm a big fan of Cioks DC5. Never have to think about it and it fits nicely beneath even the flat boards such as nano and metro.
  8. My tuppence ha'penny: Width and profile are a bit less important than neck thickness and fingerboard radius.
  9. This song has one of my favourite ever lyrics too. Seems to be about someone creating their own Lassie dog porno doll out of bits of dead bug, and it's all ridiculously shoehorned into the rhythm(s) like watermelons stuffed into a sock. It's the opposite of normal songwriting, and also completely brilliant.

    Platypus

    Thanks Platypus for a very hassle-free and exemplary deal, and hope the Bighead Pro does everything you need it to.
  11. Bought this a week or two back on the grounds that a headphone amp would be a good thing to have. Expensively, it turns out I'm wrong. Could send it back and leave the retailer to deal, but I'm not feeling that selfish. So, for £50 less than retail, and with UK postage included, you get this pristine and only-used-twice brushed-metal beauty. Complete with box and all the bits that came with, except for the plastic wrapping. Here's the lowdown: it's a headphone amp. It's a portable USB audio interface. Or it's a 2-band preamp for your bass. This is the posher of the two PJB Big Head models, and is powered by a massive lithium ion battery to make aviation more challenging. Stick it in your gigbag, you know, just in case. Here's the official skinny: https://pjbworld.com/cms/index.php/product-ha-2/ Small print: I won't post outside the UK, sorry. I'm open to trades, I guess? Item can be viewed and purchased in leafy Hove, subject to SoDis, or else posted using a postal delivery operative. Woo woo! Buy it and stuff.
  12. Not sure about the upper horn there
  13. I've had three bass looms off John now (2 Js and a P). Always easy to install, sound great, do what they're meant to and delivered within a day or two of ordering. I wholly recommend that you also buy three of his looms.
  14. I once put phosphor bronzes on an electric (Warwick) and loved the sound a lot. When I tried to gig with them nobody could hear me even with the amp up full. I actually had audience members complaining, you understand. It was a regular gig using otherwise my regular rig.
  15. Anyone see this? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1977-78-Fender-Jazz-Bass-Guitar/264754366975
  16. Thanks both, job done and trainspotterly urges sated.
  17. I think given my skills with rulers and drills, I'd probably best go for the latter if that's OK? I'll bung you a Paypal for whatever the postage comes to.
  18. Much appreciated -- btw, what screws does it use? Same as scratchplate?
  19. That has done the trick for the cover mounting holes -- thank you!
