Excellent as always Andy.

I've found that if I do the popping thing on my P bass that wears Elixirs, then it's a waste of effort and is lost in the mix, if I do the same with the P with D'addarios or Highbeams, all is good.

What a rotten situation CyberBass but so glad to hear that you survived. Hope you make a full recovery and get back to playing in the not too distant.

North West Guitars do some good necks Dave.

@ped were the knobs from the site that you linked to a few pages back?

Maybe I should get a set of those for mine, looks good.

What a transformation I've worked on plenty of grubby instruments but none quite as minging as your one.

Both in our set list

Looking good Make sure that little locking grub screw on the bridge is in nice and tight.

Glad it got to you, safe and sound.👍

Very true but it's hellishly difficult sometimes

The stock pick ups aren't bad but I put a set of Wizard 64s in the one I had, really added to the oomph

Love that bass line. Typical of the Faces, where, to me, it always feels so loose that it could all fall to pieces and go very pear shaped but doesn't

It's not that easy to see the details on your pics (could be my eyesight though) but is the solder very messy. If it is, then it could be that someone inexperienced has been in there and caused damaged to the pots, by overheating them when soldering.

Hope your good wife is not too unhappy with the purchase

Have you got it yet boss?

Was about to post exactly the same.

Agree with you about the old sixties tort and for me nothing else comes close. When I needed to replace a 63 tort guard, I went for the real thing, it took a lot of searching and talking to different contacts but it was all worth it, when I eventually located one and got it. Dearer than a Spitfire one but not by that much. I seem to recall a BC'er having some bother with Spitfire a few years back. (Try a search and you might find the thread).

Stupid scammy git messaged me yesterday. I chuckled as I flagged him as a spammer.

The Tribute LB100 is passive https://www.pmtonline.co.uk/g-amp-l-tribute-lb-100-bass-3-tone-sunburst-brazilian-cherry-fingerboard?utm_source=google&utm_medium=shopping&gclid=Cj0KCQjw4fHkBRDcARIsACV58_HBkkUB4CcwV3QDgUdXwu6wvL4rh-6gbrV98Bqb_FJDOrftWVHhKA0aAqjBEALw_wcB#product-details

Looks like it's seen some action. That will clean up nice though. The pickups on these are just so powerful. Volume on full they are aggressive and snarly as hell, wind back slightly and it gets into vintage P bass territory.

Hope it gets to you, safe and sound. What year is it Ped?

Fellow G&L fan here. I'll be gigging my eighties SB1 at the weekend. About to do the deal on an Asat ClassicTribute, as a birthday pressie to myself

Went along to watch him play at the Bass Centre in Wapping, it was inspiring and highly entertaining.
