Seen a few on ebay in recent weeks, but the price has really gone up of late. Couple of years back I got one for thirty quid but that's not likely now. Over £100 new when I've seen them. I like them but wouldn't dream of paying that sort of money. Think I would be going for a gotoh or the new fender high mass bridge. Gotoh seem to go for around £30 on ebay.

Impressive Steve, that looks really good.

Best of luck matey. Do something different for a few days if you have the time/inclination, then come back and find yourself a decent band where your talent is appreciated.

I had a chuckle when I spotted this during my daily trawl through ebay. I'm looking for another project, but feel a touch wary of this one.

I thought Bass masta was infested with all sorts of bad stuff, has it been sorted? Personally I wouldn't go near it after what it did to my daughters computer. Guess you're ok if using a mac.

You certainly wouldn't be hiding at the back of the stage with that one.

Nice collection and I actually think the P bass has a certain charm. will look forward to seeing the makeover though. All the best, Gary

Put me next on the list please my good man. All the best, Gary

I recently paid £150-160 (can't recall exactly) for a Jap P bass neck. The one that I got was worth every penny. So if the neck is a good one, then do you think the body and hardware is worth say £180ish? What is the hardware like. Do the pups sound good.

That is loverly, enjoy.

I think he can play perfectly well, he certainly wasn't miming on a recent documentary I watched

Stevie I found this site very useful when I was doing my recent P bass build [url="http://home.provide.net/~cfh/fender2.html"]http://home.provide.net/~cfh/fender2.html[/url]

I thought this one was during the period when the line up didn't include John Taylor. Good song though. I have to admit to liking Duran and recently downloaded their new one, which I think is a decent album.

Not the best of locations in my opinion Pete, so I'll be looking elsewhere. But have a bump and best of luck with the sale.

..and now it's going to give Letchworth a bad name.

Don't know Daz, I do know that I can't do it. I find it very tricky talking at the same time as playing.

Pete, dont know if you seen this site, but i found it useful, mostly for putting me off actually ordering [url="http://www.dutycalculator.com/new-import-duty-and-tax-calculation/"]http://www.dutycalculator.com/new-import-d...ax-calculation/[/url]

I wasn't aware of this either until last week, when my shuttle 6 went off for repair. I was awoken early this morning by the courier ringing the door bell and presenting me with a fender box. Haven't opened it yet.

I bet when I revisit Bass chat in a few hours this thread will be about three pages long And I love DR High beams, but they are stainless, so maybe not what you want. I have found them to be good for punchy rock and funk so far.

A valid point for me, although it tends to apply more to instruments than amps/cabs etc. is that a new/different bass has often inspired my playing and instead of sitting down and noodling about with the same old riffs, patterns, scales, I've gone off in a different direction.
