Enjoy, I'm sure it will be a very entertaining gig.

I did as Neepheid suggested but as I had just given up fags, used smoking economics. I gave up in July 2010 so have saved approx. £2,000. Allowing me to get a very nice G&L SB1 and a 75 P bass

Nice one James. Not good though is it, that it's necessary to do so?

As you, I was slightly concerned when I found that the band I was joining downtuned by a semi tone. I have not found any problem or the need for any adjustments to the set up or truss rod. What has been a minor inconvenience is when trying to learn numbers that are recorded at concert pitch.

[b]Nice one Daz.[/b] Played this with a band a while back and always had fun with it.

You can drill out the holes but wouldn't really recommend doing it freehand as it were. Best bet is to use a proper drill bench and clamp down the neck so that there is no movement, ensuring that the holes are accurate and not skewing off at an angle.

I shall update with photos as the refurb progresses. Look forward to seeing it restored to it's former glory.

I had this one on my watch list, now deleted, what a total dick.

I use a Genz Shuttle 6 with two Mark Bass cabs and have been very pleased with the combination. Mine are not the travellers though.

Looking forward to it. Best of luck

Nice one. A much happier day for you today then

So glad the wait is over for you and us. Lovely looker, which will look even lovelier when you change the pick guard, good call.

Yes and it's a joyous thing. Glad it's working out for you.

I should probably do a proper search to check whether this has already been posted but it's late. So if you haven't already seen it, check it out and enjoy [url="http://www.brucethomas.co.uk/"]http://www.brucethomas.co.uk/[/url]

I have a decentish Yamaha acoustic on a stand in the lounge. Mostly it sits there and is dusted more than it's played. Sometimes strum a few chords on it. Play the ukele a bit, thoroughly enjoy it but need to learn a few more chords.

I had this on my ipod this very morning. A good tune and was very popular on the northern soul scene

One of my faves

Wow, Rich has certainly worked wonders following your cruelty. That looks very handsome. I will look forward to seeing it all back together.

Greg. I might have confued the issue for you. His user name is: 0353203 Let me know and I can email him for you if necessary.

Hi Greg. If I was in the market for another 70's Fender I would be contacting Bass Chatter 0353203, (dont let the strange user name put you off). Earlier in the year he sourced and completed a deal for me on a 75 P bass. He took care of the importing and removed all the worry and risk for me. My advice would be to drop him a pm, outlining your budget and requirements. Good luck with it.

Still missing my BB1200 as I suspected I would
