    Thanks. I will need to rub the finish back to bare wood, so I guess I will need to use the sealer.

    Thanks for the tips and pm, most helpful. I was planning to deal with the same company for the lacquer. Did you use the sealer/primer coat that they advise prior to the proper coatings. If I do the job the way they recommend, it means purchasing three different cans of lacquer products.

    Nice job, I'm about to do the same to a Squier neck, tinting and decal that is. Who did you use for the decal and lacquer?

    Truly hideous, what was probably a fine instrument now brutalised by a git with some sand paper.

    Really really pleased for you. Good man.

    Welcome Chris. It's a great site, hope you enjoy. Gary

    I suspected that might be the case, thanks Ou7shined

    I've now rubbed down the headstock to remove the Squier logo and drilled out the holes to accept proper size tuners. My plan now, is to apply tinted lacquer and then clear. My question is, do I need to remove the existing finish, which I think is polyurethane, from the neck or can I spray the lacquer straight over it, following a rub down to form a key? The lacquer and decals aren't cheap so I'm trying to avoid costly errors. As always all suggestions and pointers gratefully received.

    Really surprised to see this for sale already, yes we are fickle buggers. Good luck, can't see you having any trouble moving this on,

    Handsome. Hope you enjoy. I think G&L's are very very nice instruments.

    I'm about to order decals and lacquer from this lot [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190508976512&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...e=STRK:MEWAX:IT[/url]

    Stop buggering about man, all you need is another P bass or three

    This one has been around a bit on Bass Chat. I got it a few months back for my bitsa project but have now got a new replacement. There are a few blemishes and marks and a crease caused by the good old royal mail who seemed to think it was a sound move to fold it up during it's journey to me, even though it was well packaged with instructions to not bend etc. Anyway I flattened it out and it's ok. Also a previous owner had carried out a bit of filing, presumably to get some oversized pups fitted. Anyway the pups I fitted were larger than fenders and so it didn't look too bad. A few weeks after I had finished my bass a set of American RI pups came up on here so I got them. When it came to fitting them though the gap around the pickguard cut out just looked a bit ropey and it was spoiling the whole look for me. So that's it, I've not exactly made it seem like a must have item but just don't want anyone thinking they will get a pristine piece of kit. Of course if you like your P bass with the chrome ash trays and covers then it wont show and you will have saved a whole load of dosh. [attachment=76271:069.JPG][attachment=76270:061.JPG][attachment=76269:062.JPG] Hopefully the photos will help explain more clearly than my ramblings. I would like £12.50 inc of postage

    A very trusting, helpful Bass Chatter and a pleasure to deal with.

    Blimey Chris that was a quick change about. Best of luck with the sale. You must stay faithful to the P bass and stop lusting after these strangers

    Think it's highly unlikely that the wood could give way around the tuners.
  20. gary mac
    Thanks chaps.
  21. gary mac
    Good to hear a happy ending

    Now that I'm doing more setting up and general tinkering I'm in need of a set of under string radius gauges. Any recommendations as to make and where to buy from. Thanks.

    [quote name='Thurbs' post='1178398' date='Mar 27 2011, 03:50 PM']I had a crap ending to my gig last night... went to the car to bring it to the stage door to find someone had put a brick through the front window. Not happy.[/quote] Unbelievable, what's wrong with some people. Some snotty little scrote keyed my daughters car the other night in a pub car park.

    I finally pay a visit to this section of the forum after three years or so and what do I encounter? A floozy in her underwear. I will not be back! Much
