Cos i dont know why ;-)

Its got two tone controls but dont ask me why

So i bought a maple neck from Hong Kong before xmas for what was to be a natural finished precision, anyway at the weekend i noticed tommorichards had a cheap Stingray body for sale that A: had the same neck pocket dimensions as my neck and B: wouldnt sound like my other precision and whats more he wanted a speaker i was selling so the deal was done. it arrived today at 1.30pm by 3.30pm it was wired up, strung, plugged in and playing and sounding very nice on a set of flats, its got a remarkably low action considering it was a brand new undrilled neck. Im chuffed with how its turned out for such a small outlay this is definitely my `Budget` budget bass oh yeah i had a spare headstock logo so it would have been rude not to use it [IMG]http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j186/jeffhop/SNV80342_zps34670e1c.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j186/jeffhop/SNV80343_zps693ab817.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j186/jeffhop/SNV80344_zps58e5e59d.jpg[/IMG]

Just done a deal on Toms Stingray body, very painless transaction and great comms. Top man!

I love the mockingbird body shape, always have, neck dive is easily cured cheaply with a suade backed strap

I had a Torque 100 back in the early `90`s tremendous bit of kit , worst amp ive owned though was a Fender Bassman 100 great in the bedroom but nowhere near loud enough for even rehearsals

if its in the north east i`ll be happy to oblige

lovely, in a white chocolate kind of way

The `Funder Jeff Bass` range are future classics, mark my words

thats gorgeous!

my 5 string R/B Streamer has the MEC `Vintage Humbucker` pups and ive never had any problem with output, its been my main recording bass for the last year and the engineer we use has always been very complimentary on the sound quality.

the `contact us` page doesnt work as i tried it tonight, it just froze fortunately ive fixed my amp!

oh yes i can see them, whoop problem found! how do people gig these things for years without a problem and mines been in the car twice and this has happened! now if only i hadnt blown every fuse i had trying them in my practice amp i could try the thing again doh!! my practice amp has a strange fuse holder that can fit 2 ways but only works one way and blows the fuse the other way whoops 3 blown fuses and no spares till wednesday damnation! thanks for all your help chaps, much appreciated. Jeff

yep thats the one ive tried.

nothing on the Ashdown, isnt that the one thats now located at the power socket?

why has he put 2 miss matched control knobs on when the black originals matched the rest of the hardware? `touch of class`? cheap and tacky more like! and why has he swapped the neck humbucker out for a flamin jazz bass pick up? the blokes an idiot.

ive checked the one thats located in the power socket, are there more?

I must be really unlucky when it comes to amps, i bought a Berhinger last year practiced with it once and it never worked again, today i practiced with a new band for the first time since buying a second hand Ashdown EB180 which worked when i bought it and worked when i got it home but i practice through a smaller combo in the house so its been stood 2 months, plugged it in at the rehearsal rooms switched it on and..........nothing, tried a different socket.still nothing tried a different power lead.......you get the picture. Its not the fuse as ive checked it its really hacked me off, does anyone know anywhere in the north east that fixes amps? i really dont want to fork out another few hundred quid for another one

I saw them in the 80`s in a sports hall in a village called Willington, the first words were `Hello Newcastle` which is 30 miles away! cracking gig though, even went backstage after the show and met the band, nice guys the lot of them.

he obviously doesnt know MDP snapped a truss rod
