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".

Hope your head feels better soon

Thanks,I've bookmarked it to add to my pressie list

Bass Japan Direct is a BC'er

It might be simpler just to buy yourself a replacement knob. Then nick the screw out of it, if you want to stick with the existing knob.

It can really get you down can't it If everything else is right though, it is certainly worth persevering. The next one could be the perfect fit.

[quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1434958408' post='2804033'] Nice to be in a position to tell Apple to f*** off. [/quote] Indeed, I have felt like doing that on a fair few occasions.

Glad it was good for you. I wasn't gigging last night, so was planning on coming over to see your band, then I got offered a dep, then had to turn that that down as I had a rough day health wise. Another time hopefully

[quote name='Old Horse Murphy' timestamp='1434747565' post='2802574'] The latest chapter in my dealing with Gary story As usual a total gent to deal with and I couldn't recommend him highly enough [/quote] [quote name='Grangur' timestamp='1434747853' post='2802578'] Do you know, I was just thinking, I've never bought from Gary, or sold to him. I've met him on a fair number of occasions. He's a good guy. I just thought I'd say that. I guess this feedback thread speaks for itself already. But anyone can buy or sell with confidence. [/quote] Probably not the done thing to comment on ones own feedback thread but thanks chaps.
