  1. A Nissan Juke for £600...? Did it come in an Amazon box?
  2. Never seen it, maybe just use brown tortoiseshell pickguard material and double sided tape? It would still be thicker than normal ( and may look weird) unless you got the single ply stuff...
  3. There's a bit of a story to that. I bought it with 2 humbuckers installed (and a load of other player mods that were non- standard) as you can see below. I returned it to stock but as it had had a big hole routed out in front of the bridge for the pickup, it was filled with wood, and primed. I then did a light couple of coats of aged vintage white nitro which was a bit more yellow than the original white ( which was also nitro so must have been a respray too.)
  4. Sometime the tracks are so damaged the only solution is to replace the pots, which is not difficult if you are careful and methodical. ( You'll need a soldering iron too)!
  5. Nice old thread revival! I had a Japanese Blue Flower at one point too (in addition to my current one below) but without the covers.
  6. An ambitious price for a homebuild but I'm sure the tweed hardcase for an extra £70 is worth it ( he even overcharges for this)!
  7. To avoid any confusion, I think the Mark II Combo head is equivalent to the Little Mark III not the Little Mark II?
  8. Keep the pound coin (that it obviously came with) and return the Bass...
  9. I've heard they have quite thick skin....
  10. I'll be there and judging by the interest in it, bringing my Peavey Milestone III Bass (1k views and no purchase offers)! Maybe not.....
  11. Just going thorough the chart rundown, never before realised that Rush had bothered the UK singles chart!
  12. I notice the delivery is £6.13 and have seen this on other Basses too. Is there a deal with the bay, as I don't think I could find any Courier who would take and deliver a Bass for £6.13....?
  13. Unless you are playing with an insanely loud band it will be more than enough in almost any situation with the right speaker/s.
  14. There's certainly a homage with the Tuners being moved to a more streamlined angle....
  15. What's going on with the pickup, have they added another one at some stage or just enlarged the existing gap to move it forward? Ah, zoomed in to see enlarged to fit the EMG.
  16. I've noticed this before that a number of Japanese sellers (even on ebay) are selling the exact same Bass for differing prices, nothing hooky but there must be a different selling arrangement where someone can retail a Bass owned by others.
  17. Well they've just teased us on the weekly email with some screenshots of the new webpage, so it really is coming! Ye of little faith......
  18. The seller is a cash converter type shop, and they are not known for underselling gear.....
  19. Might be nice to send that photo to his wife and family, if they have not already seen it?
