  1. [quote name='mcnach' timestamp='1507508538' post='3385987'] These strats are lovely... have a free bump! [/quote] Appreciated and time for another bump
  2. Second time Geoff and I have had dealings, this time me buying from him. Just like last time, nice and easy from start to finish. Very rapid delivery and the item was exactly as described. Still very happy to recommend.
  3. Yes we are on to it. Thanks.
  4. [quote name='JapanAxe' timestamp='1506722138' post='3380765'] 'North of the Isle of Wight, South of Keswick' is perhaps a bit vague to someone (i.e. me) who has a friend who might be interested... [/quote] You're quite right it is a bit vague. I really thought that the location was stated in the ad. It should have been but this time I failed to include it. Anyway it's Hoddesdon. Herts. Original post has now been edited.
  5. [quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1507191340' post='3383761'] Y'know, I almost prefer the days when Eden manuals used to talk about the "magic smoke". It was easier to understand, and more consistent. [/quote] I don't need to or particularly want to understand. Let Alex do his thing and if I want it, I'll hand over the dosh and just enjoy.
  6. Any replacement nut is going to need some fettling, certainly with respect to the string slots. I like the Graphtec nuts. Nothing wrong with brass, other than a little more difficult to file the slots.
  7. [quote name='Rick's Fine '52' timestamp='1506883685' post='3381792'] [font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Here's one of my faves, 100% stock, very fine condition, 1961 Custom Colour Olympic White, stack knob Jazz. Comes with case, mutes, and all the original case candy, stack knob paperwork, even a spare set of unused strings![/font] [font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]http://[/font] [/quote] Just fallen in love with Jazz basses all over again
  8. [quote name='Chewie' timestamp='1506871637' post='3381649'] Thank you sir, Do you have anybody in mind that could perform such genius? I live in Swindon. Kind regards, [/quote] I don't know anyone in that neck of the woods, sorry. Check out the pinned post about BC'ers willing to help out.
  9. What Ped said. The truss rod unless well out of kilter, won't have much bearing on that part of the neck. Assuming that the nut is ok and you have the correct relief in the neck, then it might well be fret wear. Quite often a graduated leveling is required down that end or it maybe as simple as just one or two slightly higher frets.
  10. [quote name='Oggy' timestamp='1506082638' post='3376326'] Now that is a really nice looking Strat - have a bump on me . [/quote] A thanks type bump
  11. My daughter had one of those at around the same sort of weight, had to sell in the end, as even with a comfort strap it was just too heavy. Sounded great though with a set of wizards.
  12. Hope it's a great day for you all Will look forward to seeing the photos and blog from Silv
  13. [quote name='songofthewind' timestamp='1505940442' post='3375430'] Tasty. I loves me a Strat. Brown tort guard, mebbe? [/quote] I was considering a change of guard but actually a change of circumstance has led me to put it up for sale on here.
  14. Black Strat body, decent quality. Very recently purchased for a planned winter project but the Squier neck that I have doesn't fit. In good, used condition. Complete with output socket and strap buttons. There are a couple of dings that have been touched in by a previous owner, this has been done quite well and unless you really look, they don't show. Difficult to photograph but I've tried. This was sold to me as a Squier but given that the neck pocket is around 58 mm wide, I'm not so sure. Maybe some models had a wider pocket, or perhaps a past owner has altered it. Anyway, please keep in mind that if you want to fit a standard Fender or Squier neck, unless you install some veneer shims, there will be a gap. £25 NOW ONLY £20 collected from my place in Herts. If you need it posted the courier charge will be £15.99.
  15. [quote name='Tandro' timestamp='1505484484' post='3372299'] Ooh I like the look of that, have a bump [/quote] Thanks Time for my bump.
