Pukka bass one, fits nice and is well padded ill check my feedback and find you the listing if he has any more. edit. he doesnt sorry

i would be very very surprised if you could drill the remaining part of the screw out, 4 screws should hold it firm enough anyway and if youve still got the sheared screw head, if its aesthetics your worried about why not glue it into the hole thats left on the bridge. or you could always move the bridge either forwards or backwards 5mm or so depending on how much travel you have on the saddles.

I saw that when i got mine, apparently the black and white is a rare custom colour.... why kill one though!

Id love a V bass to go with the ZZB and the fact our guitarist has a Gibson Custom shop white one

Thats bloody lovely!

Why thank you sir

Nowt wrong with a mm humbucker on a jazz [URL=http://s80.photobucket.com/user/jeffhop/media/SNV80401_zps83a7e450.jpg.html][IMG]http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j186/jeffhop/SNV80401_zps83a7e450.jpg[/IMG][/URL] the joys of the self build

Do what i did, stick a humbucker on a jazz ;-)

I like Picato flats as they kind of thud which for some reason is how i like my bass to sound, ive got 3 basses with them on and 4 with fender flats but i do prefer the picato................................................maybe im just weired

Flats have been fitted as a matter of course I much prefer them, ive been drilling holes and adding strap buttons trying to find the perfect anchor point for maximum pelvic thrusting and have just about got it sorted.........look out ladies the pickups are just different P`s in a pod so to speak haha

my latest addition is an `86 ZZB Custom, that i got given [url="http://s80.photobucket.com/user/jeffhop/media/SNV80452_zps1d61c1ce.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s80.photobucket.com/user/jeffhop/media/SNV80454_zps03629757.jpg.html"][/url]

well my mate was good to his word and brought the ZZB round for me, instant big hair band moment! Anyway i felt a little guilty for taking it off his hands so I gave him the Dean i had that failed to sell on ebay and now everyone is happy, here are a few more pics.

I find the 3mm perfect for bass as theres no 'lag' when plucking especially if its a quick down and up stroke i feel that using a .7 or .8 pick has a slight bit of give in it before it releases the string, maybe im just weired but i feel like i can pluck quicker using a fat pick, if youve never tried one give one a go, i was skeptical at first but now i wont go back.

Bought a Mighty Mite jazz neck off Anth, nice to put a face to a name, top lad!

Oh yeah forgot, no pic no bass.........................here it is [URL=http://s80.photobucket.com/user/jeffhop/media/971584_589558517759006_705250214_n_zpsa8247146.jpg.html][IMG]http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j186/jeffhop/971584_589558517759006_705250214_n_zpsa8247146.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

[quote name='chriswareham' timestamp='1386328234' post='2298762'] I think I know a former microlight pilot who could sort it out. [/quote]

At our gig last night a lad i went to school with who also plays bass offered me a free Aria ZZB in black and white!! well i wasnt going to turn that down was i!! all i have to do is build him a jazz using his money........somebody pinch me!

cracking gig last night, well worth the 100 or so yards i had to drive to get there yes it was that close and yes i did drive (the pa is heavy) first time id played a hometown gig in 30 or so years! made even better by a mate of mine coming up to me at half time and asking me if id like a free of charge Aria ZZB!

llian bought my Retrovibe bass, very prompt payment and cracking comms, no problems. Jeff

Im enjoying playing `Accident Prone` by Snakecharmer and `In a Broken Dream` by Thunder at the minute, neither song id heard of till i had to learn them.

I use a pick for bass and im a recent convert to the 3mm gravity picks, they are a bit expensive to buy but as long as you dont lose them they should last absolutely aaaaaggggggeeeeeesssss

Traded a bass with Martyn, no problems, very honest and genuine guy. Cheers bud.
