I found I never used the piezo on mine, and it was bloomin heavy too. But an excellent bass, really good.

Heres a pic to show the action at the body end. Most basses that come into my hands seem to have high actions?? Am I the only bassist in the world that likes a really low action??

Okey dokey £60 delivered (neck off) poss trades for jazz bridge pickups/p/jbody/gig bags/interestingthings
or just £50 cash collected
the body is good it all works I just think the neck is too thick and needs tlc
particularly after a gold gb7 (Warwick style) hipshot extender

To coin a basschat cliche: tea-> keyboard :-D (well phone actually )

Great news bud and great to hear from you. You take care of yourself :-D

Rob gave, yup, you heard me GAVE me a status softcase and wouldn't even let me pay postage. The man is not only the backbone of basschat and a general legend but also bloomin nice too!

I've just put an aged pickguard on it for kicks dunno if it'll stay.

Nice one, thanks boss.

The bass was originally known as 'altus' however another manufacturer claimed they already owned the rights to the name so it became known as the 'FNA' or 'formerly known as altus' (sic) should really be fkaa.
The really depressing news is my tatty one only went for £400 :-( although it was well used with some heavy wear.

Dude could you share some more about that custom rf etc filter? I'm always curious about such things after working in hifi for years.

Cheers metalmore, if you ever sell yours ask me first lol. I was lusting over that 10k one too.

Thanks dude, stripes came today pics added!!

Ive had huge Bacchus GAS for sooo long!!, Strangely i quite want one that looks like my fender..utterly pointless but i still want one lol!! oh the inscrutable GAS. Luckily im skint forever so it actually helps relieve the pain!

yup, another strings direct fan here

sale? trades?

If i hadnt just been simultaneously been shafted by my landlady and work id have snapped that jazz clean up! cant believe its not gone!

Cheers guys, honestly the new neck really brought it to life, way better than either the original with it's ultra fine fretwire or the harder sounding graphite, it's just a perfectly symbiotic relationship, I may have got lucky :-D
I'm not precious about it cause as I mentioned although the pics don't show it, its scratched and dinged up to hell, so if you are at one of my gigs and there's time I'm well happy to let you have a go.
I don't think I was in the band then, I did play Bristol with ozzy once dunno where but it was opposite the train station I think, fairly quiet night. Other than that the only other time I played bristol was colston hall with doublecross supporting Styx in 2005, if anyone fancies slinging lounge fly a weekend Bristol slot I'd be very pleased!

EDIT!! Just realised it's Gloucester not Bristol lol, nope def not me then, never played Gloucester.

cheers dude, different band, the wizards of oz ;-)

Hah hah. She is rather lovely! (and the singer heh heh) As it happens we're in need if some basschat assistance, it's on the myspace and I'll post about it in the morning, but in brief were down to the last 40 out of 2000 bands to open a Spanish festival :-D which was a nice surprise, now we need votes!!
