I was considering getting one for a P bass project. I missed out on the last one he had. I've had some corespondance with the seller and he seems ok. I hadn't noticed the lack of first fret marker, but don't think it would put me off

Most enjoyable, excellent

I doubt it's anything to do with needing a damp course, much more likely to be a condensation/ventilation issue. As others have said keep some back ground heat and ventilation.

I quite often use a drill bit as well

Really enjoyed that

Watched it when I got in from rehearsing last night. Really enjoyed, think I will have to dig out some of my Simon & Garfunkel albums and give them a whirl again.

You'll be a better player for it. [/quote] Got to agree that is a cracker. Generally not mad on live albums but I do still thoroughly enjoy and regularly play Humble Pie, Rockin' the Filmore.

They can be a bit stubborn but will some patience and gentle asssistance with a small screwdriver worked around the edge, you should be ok

Looking good. Nice job. Glad to see that you persevered with your project.

Have snapped one when changing strings at home by absent-mindedly turning tuner in wrong direction until string snapped! What a stupid git. [/quote] Same here and I felt such a twat, even though I was the only one to witness it.

Yes, I experienced the same thing, although can't recall if it was the same note, at a depp gig back in the summer, playing on a wooden band stand. it was a sscarey moment

I suspect that your diagnosis is correct, I'm sure that was the same problem I had with the jazz bass that I had a few years back. Rectified fairly easily, if you can solder or have a friend who can. Sorry don't know any guitar techs in your neck of the woods, but I'm sure someone will be along soon, who does.

Truly lovely looking vintage loveliness there Rick. I'm sure you won't have any problem selling that on. There is obviously not the same love for vintage amps/cabs as there is for instruments, seeing that your post has been here for well over twelve hours and I'm the first to post.

Get some pics up then........go on go on go on

So sorry Darren. Given the level of customer service that I received in my dealings with you and Chris and I know other Bass Chatters also received, your business deserves to survive and prosper.
