  1. HMX the nut width is 40 mm. If you want to come along for a play you are very welcome.
  2. Thanks pst62 for your comments and the bump
  3. Thanks. I'll have a measure up in the morning and get back to you.
  4. Oh lordy indeed. I'll stick with my mundane p basses, think I would be all if I strapped that on down the Ferret and Furkin. Enjoy though
  5. A bump for the weekend visitors
  6. Sorry for the loss of your pet, really feel for you.
  7. [quote name='classrock' timestamp='1341081874' post='1713714'] Look great if your in a 70's funk/glamrock band ! [/quote] With Ken and Barbie on vocals
  8. I've been in this situation in the past and found that we were all pussy footing around the singer but it's just ridiculous really. A singer who can't sing in tune is no good to anyone. Just makes the whole band look/sound bad. I like the Fretmeister's approach
  9. Man up, forget the chores, sort your priorities and get playing.
  10. I suppose it depends how handy you and what tools you have. Think I would keep looking
  11. daily bump to the top
  12. Wish you a speedy recovery Rich.
  13. Sorry Jamie, don' have a combo these days. Good luck, hope someone helps you out.
  14. A still here and still available bump
  15. hope it gets to you safe and sound. Look forward to seeing some pics
  16. [quote name='KiOgon' timestamp='1340559871' post='1706242'] I know [i][b]exactly [/b][/i]how you feel my rack overfloweth at the moment [/quote]
  17. I've not encountered a bad Japanese instrument, although not had any experience with the actual model that you're asking about.
  18. Another bump before I put them back in the spares box.
  19. When you turn the screw make sure the saddle is actually moving, sometimes it doesn't and needs a little gentle persuasion.
  20. Thanks John. I hate selling basses, I just want to keep them all really.
  21. Sunday afternoon bump.
  22. Thanks. Not really a profit making exercise, just wanted to get my outlay back. Won't get disheartened, I'll just find something else to sell to pay for the washing machine.
  23. [url="http://www.flickr.com/photos/httpwwwflickrcomphotosgmac190/7427567372/"][/url] 1970’s inspired Precision Bass, handcrafted in Hertfordshire Ok, ok, so it’s really a bitsa but it’s a good one. I’ve got a genuine 75 fender P but have been nervous about gigging it in the type of venues that I was playing with the classic rock band. So I decided to put together a 70’s style bass with decent components, that would hopefully sound and look right. I had decided that if this turned out well it would be a keeper. The good news is that it turned out really well. The unfortunate news for me, is that I‘ve now left the band and also had some unexpected expense on the home front. So I’ve decided to sell. The Spec: Squier VMP body, with 3 ply pick guard. Kiogon Greasebucket type wiring loom, with cts pots. Fender Japan 70’s reissue pups. Mightymite neck, with tinted lacquer finish and Fender decal. 9.5 radius rosewood fret board. Wilkinson vintage style tuners. Fender string tree. Fender F plate neck plate, with Allparts black cushion. New set of Rotosound Nickel Roundwounds 45-105. Everything has fitted together very well which hopefully should be evident in the photos. Looks and feels better than many of the Fenders I’ve picked up to look at in the shops. The neck had not been previously used and therefore the frets have no wear and the fret board is perfect. The only minus points are three small blemishes to the lacquer on the rear of the neck, which you should be able to see in the photos and a few surface scratches to the pick guard, which probably don’t show up in the pics. Weight is a very reasonable 9.5 lbs. I haven’t gigged the bass but have given it an outing to a rehearsal with my other band. It gave a great performance, sounded just right and sat in the mix just like a P bass should. Quite a mixed set, modern stuff, Plan B, Duffy, Black Eyed Peas and old favs, Doobies, Free, ZZ Top etc. Would be happier if this was collected as I don’t have a case for it. But we can discuss shipping if required. Happy for BC’ers to come on round for a try out. I’m asking £295.00. No trades at the moment thanks.
