That's a looker Chili. I've still yet to have a play on one of these.

[quote name='pete.young' timestamp='1435394762' post='2808323'] Jungle were excellent, I loved the sound the bassist was getting out of that Thunderbird, and what about that little kid breakdancing? [/quote] The kid was very impressive. I've never been much of a Thunderbird fan but it did sound great and look super cool.

I didn't get to watch much of it last night but out the bits I did see, the most unimpressive was Florence and the most enjoyable for me was Jungle.

Love it

Like I said earlier Dave, it is a right pain. Really wish you luck, let us know.

I've come up against the same problem, it is a right pain. Do you know any of the traders, Andy Baxter for example, well enough to ask who they use?

I was just listening and playing along to this a couple of days back. Love it

That sounds encouraging Paul, hopefully it will all be resolved soon.

I think it's actually good that they are pointing that out. None of the couriers will insure, unless the bass is in a hardcase as far as I know.

[quote name='Meddle' timestamp='1435180943' post='2806374'] Must have been a really good performance. [/quote] I really ought to ban you right here and now but seeing as you have officially given me the first laugh of the day, we'll let it pass.

What a brilliant thing. Marvelous.

Welcome, good to have you aboard

Welcome, hope you enjoy yourself here. Go anywhere near the for sale sections and you are almost certain to find that you want/need more kit.

Looking good

That is atrocious service, glad you have named and shamed. They now have the opportunity to come on here and justify themselves and hopefully put things right.

Will look forward to the pics if you get it.

[list] [*]Here you go: [*] [*]Multi-layer pickguards: starting in mid-1959 Fender switched to a 3 layer pickguard (w/b/w) made from Celluloid on most models. The Pbass and Jazzmaster used a 4 layer pickguard of Tortoise/w/b/w (except on certain custom colors which used a 3 layer w/b/w pickguard). These celluloid 'guards had an outer white layer with a mint green/yellow tint, thus giving them the name "green 'guard". The amount of green/yellow depends on the abuse and UV the pickguard was subject to. To some degree the effect is not only caused by age and sun, but the "felting" of the black layer below the white layer. This material was used till January 1965 when Fender switched to vinyl or ABS for their multilayer pickguards (Celluloid was dangerous and very flamable, and shrunk with time causing cracks). Sometimes these pickguards are called "nitrate 'guards" because nitric acid is one of the key ingredients used to make celluloid. The 1965 and later white pickguards do yellow a bit with age. But even aged white 'guards look much different than the older "green" 'guards. In the late 1960s, white Stratocaster pickguards change slightly (not sure about other models). Though from the front they look identical to the 1965 to 1967 variety, the 1968/1969 white Strat pickguards had a bottom layer (the layer not seen unless the pickguard is removed from the body) of "pearloid".
