Who do I choose to build me a bass?
Shockwave replied to JazzBassfreak's topic in General Discussion
Tom Waghorn of Waghorn guitars will build you anything you want as long as it has his name is on it. I have an RD copy being build right now with some changes. -
Since buying the Squier I have gone back for a set of Elixir strings. A Kong Pitch black tuner and Dunlop Straplocks. Knocking off prices automatically for me and good service again. Now I would love to buy that Peavey T45 they have!

[quote name='hamfist' timestamp='1400836339' post='2457343'] HI, I am interested in your Delano soapbars. I have a set of Tonerider Jazz pickups I could partially trade for them. THese TOneriders are cheap but do not underestimate their quality. I have owned classic single coil and split coil Fralin Jazz sets and these Toneriders are right up there in tonal quality IMO. Very balanced tonally, and very articulate. How about my tonerider set plus £50 for your Delanos ? CHeers, Alan [/quote] Thanks but no thanks!

Up for sale is a pair of Delano 4 string SBC HE/S humbuckers in EMG 35 casings. They have a little bit of playing wear on the casings. These pickups cost around £100 each brand new. Get a set here for just £70 (shipping extra). Alternatively I will trade or part ex for a set of aftermarket passive jazz bass pickups. Dimarzio/Seymour Duncan/Fralins etc. Hit me up.

[quote name='TheGreek' timestamp='1399653039' post='2446384'] Never seen one of these before but the neck must be worth the £300 BIN price surely..

[quote name='White Cloud' timestamp='1398792455' post='2437667'] I feel embarrassed for not noticing this. Apologies folks. Would I be correct in assuming that all of the communication/long delays relate to basses that were offered as part of a low price deal? He seems to be extremely busy in relation to full price instruments (double necks etc). I myself was teetering on the brink of placing an order a couple of years ago...but in all honesty I wouldn't dream of it now. [/quote] Mine is one of the low cost deal types. Jon had said he has put mine behind other more recent orders that paid full whack. So when is mine going to get done as there are always going to be orders put ahead of mine? I paid for a service and I should get the same service that others get regardless of how much I paid. I heard of dudi recently asking for his money back because of the delay. Jon said he can't give the money back and would have to sell the bass before he could do that...

[quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1398693590' post='2436605'] That's a bit unfair, isn't it? Good song-writing has always come from frustration and deprivation, preferable experienced while living in a garret. Whatever a "garret" is. If you want good song-writing, obviously you need to live somewhere far less affluent than London ... [/quote] Telling it how I have seen it! Saw one great originals band at the Roundhouse when I first came to London, turned out they were from Brighton, but liked putting on their website that they were based in Camden for the cred!

Living in London for a couple of years now. Haven't found one interesting band to join that made me go "Wow, I would put in the effort". Formed my own instead. Decent songwriting is almost non-existent. Bristol has/had much more interesting bands.

[quote name='Mikkoantt' timestamp='1398092254' post='2430316'] I think that Modern Player have best price/quality value. [/quote] I would have to disagree in my experience. The Chinese Fenders LOOK fantastic, have all the bells and whistles. But I feel they were always lacking playability and soundwise. MIM all the way.

Decently made Wiring Harnesses, Are they worth it?
Shockwave replied to Shockwave's topic in Repairs and Technical
I purchased KiOgon's Alpha mini pre-wired harness. I do know how to solder and solder very well, however I just havent the time devoted to it. I would have liked to get CTS pots, but would have had to replace the plate which is more expense. Pretty sure Alpha pots are just as good as CTS mind. Metal shafts etc. 250K VV and 500K Tone .047uf Cap. Also picked up his Jazz brass Shielding kit!
