    They're trying to convince you they're bigshots who can represent your music and they're communicating via a gmail address. They're not even trying to be taken seriously.

    If they're asking for money from you upfront its 100% a scam. No doubt whatsoever.

    cherry sunburst with an aged white pearl pg. Yum Yum!

    one that corrects wrong notes and sloppy timing

    I read the entire site from start to finish to ensure I don't miss anything

    Plenty of gear that's been 'preloved'. That doesn't sound very hygenic in these covid times.

    Maybe I'm misremembering, but weren't those flea basses generally regarded as overpriced and disappointing when they first came out?

    If a fender sounds thin & lifeless to you, it sounds like you need a wishbass - I’d consider that the opposite of a fender. Alternatively you could try to fatten up your tone with a compressor and/or preamp

    I wonder whether he really designed these to be able to use a bass with these fitted as an e-meter for his scientology auditing.

    anything under about half an inch makes me feel like I'm winning

    Maybe its a Will Lee signature model

    Nice thread resurrection I wonder whether its worth suggesting one of these as the original manufacturer has no interest in reissuing them

    I can't use clippers as they never cut properly for me. I use the scissors on my swiss army knife. Mine is the cybertool but there are smaller ones with the same scissors.

    Or you could bring a set of pliers to the gig so you can play the first set fretted and the second fretless

    I like basses basses that evoke the 60s USA. My current favourites are: Daphne blue JMJ mustang Arctic White Epiphone Thunderbird Vintage Pro Flame Maple Guild Starfire II with biSonics

    I can imagine a courier refusing a pickup if insufficent packing has been used, or using it as an excuse to refuse a claim after loss or damage, but I wouldn't expect it to be accepted and then have a fine levied - thats a new one on me.

    The first question I would ask is "why does the neck pocket depth need to be deepened?" Is because the action is too high and the bridge saddles don't go low enough? If so you don't need to got to the trouble of incresing the depth of the neck pocket, you only need to add a simple shim to alter the angle the neck sits in the pocket, which will give you the required adjustment at the bridge.

    They're long gone & I'm giving up biccies for a while

    Woohoo! The replacement bass is here and its all looking good. I've set it up with the flatwounds I previously had on the other one & there's no string buzz.
  21. Jean-Luc Pickguard
    Me too My 90s blueburst has an adjustable truss rod - unlike the dead-on which adjusts at the headstock you have to remove (or partially remove) the neck to get at the adjustment nut which is at the body end of the neck like a 60s Fender. The original 50s ones didn't have a truss rod so the dead-on isn't quite dead-on

    Its currently out for delivery and I'm trying hard not to go to the window every time I hear a vehicle approaching.
  23. Jean-Luc Pickguard
    This is the current state of play for the replacement bass. I will be genuinely surprised if it is delivered tomorrow.
  24. Jean-Luc Pickguard
    Before spending any cash I would check that when the band say they prefer the sound of a precision, they don't actually mean that that they like the sound and image of a Fender precison and nothing else will do.

    The new one has been dispatched with an estimated delivery date of this Friday - here we go again! The old one has arrived back in Germany so hopefully they'll get it back tomorrow or Friday.
