I see what you mean. Darn it. Been sold the wrong ones. They said Precision but hey ho. Ah well, next time I'm in Guandong I'll take them back!

Hmm, I thought I had bought Precision ones - must confess I know nothing about these things. How do I tell the difference?

She was concerned about the crowning on the third fret.

Reminds me, must see if my old mum has finished getting the snow off the TV aerial, I need her down off the roof, that shed won't paint itself.

God no - whatever would she expect next if you started spoiling her like that?

Thanks Steve, it is helpful I hadn't thought to ask about open tickets, however i suspect they are booked seats as the prices are all different.

It is surprisingly simple. Trust me I'm a ham fisted klutz and I managed it!

I know what you mean about the colour but the hole filling hack looks really useful.

@ezbass It plays as well as any of the Fenders or MMs I've owned. It sounds massive, is relatively light, and i think looks awesome. Put it this way my Fender Jazz went straight into a box ready to sell the moment I played the Bruce Thomas Profile.

Thanks guys. Sadly driving and hotels are out of the question. I am literally penniless right now. Can borrow the coach fare and gig ticket was paid for last year. Trains are way beyond my price range. All will be better once someone buys my beautiful Jazz bass but for now everything is on a budget.

Good stuff, glad to see a problem being resolved - well done @alexclaber and @Huge Hands. It would be nice if others didn't feel the need for negative sniping, never achieves anything good. The world needs more love not people competing to see who can be most outraged or sarcastic. Only my opinion of course, I respect everyone else's right to live how they want to.

Thank you.

But should I add the hardware or not? I think it looks great then I think the bass doesn't need any holes drilling in it...

It's an awesome idea. I want to cycle to rehearsal, use the in house amp carrying only a bass with me and this could be the answer. Annoyingly my singer has offered to bring a bass in her car as she stores a couple of mine for me at her house. This of course renders my crazy ideas about folding basses redundant. But for gigs on public transport... Maybe..

Don't know if any of you have heard of the baking soda / super glue trick but here it is...

Thanks folks!

Coming up to the big city to see this wonderful band in April. Does anyone have any idea what time gigs tend to finish at the Palladium? Can't afford the petrol / rely on my car so will be on the bus. Trying to book my ticket but I'm faced with the stark choice of catching the 11 o'clock bus (leave the venue 10.30 at the absolute latest) or the midnight bus. Problem is if I end up on the midnight bus I don't get home until 5am whereas the 11pm arrives in Bath at 1.40. The only other option is to hang around London till 1.30am and that bus gets in at the same time as the midnight one!! At least option 3 means I wouldn't miss any of the gig. Can't find any information about times except doors open at 7.00 - what would be the best guess for finish time?

I know. Doubt he intended to.

Instant love at first sight when I unwrapped this beautiful bass. When I played it I knew it was the one. Would I be insane to put anything on it? Had some chrome bits lying around...

Wow!

Honestly no need to apologise, my comment was tongue in cheek.
