  1. If anyone wants to buy this, I think I've still got some washers somewhere that sit under the truss rod nut to give you some extra adjustment. I had them machined for a neck I had with a similar issue. If I can't find them you can have them FOC.
  2. Just noticed that the body has contours and chamfers. The slab body can be hard going at times.
  3. In the Thomann images, these have Made in China on the headstock, rather than Indonesia.
  4. I've got a Vintera Telecaster Bass and it's a hard pickup to define. It's not overly muddy, certainly has more focus to it than my old EB-3, but it's not as articulate as a P Bass. It drives my amp with very little effort. "Built for power, not for speed" is how I saw them described once.
  5. Bargain. I've had four of them over the years, one was my main gigging bass for years. I bought one at the end of last year but I've gotten used to lighter basses and rounder radiuses in the intervening years so could really gel with it unfortunately.
  6. Where are you based? I've seen someone selling a mint Chinese Classic Vibe P Bass in Sonic Blue for £300, but they're up in Lochgilphead which isn't really near anywhere.
  7. I'm looking at something with a Pau Ferro fingerboard but I've never tried one before. The colour of the wood notwithstanding (I find it to often be too light and streaky for my taste but the one I'm looking at is quite dark and even), what's the grain and texture like compared to the traditional rosewood? I've tried instruments with Indian Laurel fretboards before and really didn't like it; it felt very dry even when it had been recently oiled and had a very open grain that you could comfortably stick a fingernail into.
  8. It was a black poly finish to match the body of my Squier Bass VI.
  9. Dave's done three basses for me (and one headstock). Thoroughly recommended. Telebass in black: Bitsa in Sonic Blue: JV in Shell Pink:
  10. Fender 70s plate tuners in chrome. Mint condition, full working order, taken off my Vintera Telecaster Bass. Comes with screws and bushing from the same bass. Can be picked up in Glasgow or can post.
  11. Cheers for the offer but it's the lollipop versions I'm after
  12. In this scenario though, the 51-style neck would have a squared off heel rather than a rounded one like the later Precisions, so would have required a fair bit of work to make them fit. It's a rosewood fingerboard too, so the more likely scenario is a reshaped headstock IMO
