Shiny! Nowt wrong with more Precisions I can't see the jack socket. When you said Strat style I expected to see the chrome recessed pocket on the front of the bass, Is it in the side?

[quote name='stingraybassman' timestamp='1389948463' post='2339756'] Is that the George North signature model? [/quote] Given the length of time it's taken to get this far it's more a Heineken Cup trophy celebration! -
It is indeed sir

Ta-daa Not only was my new bass waiting for me, but my Christmas pressie was as well, a new hard case for my other bass I've had a good look and a quick noodle whilst dinner was on and it's lovely. Sensible action and a non-floppy B string There are a couple of things I'm a bit surprised by, the B and G strings have all the string wrapped around the tuning post and the B and E strings sound really woolly compared with the other three but the outside edge of the pickups are screwed down so far they're nearly flush with the body so it could just be that they need winding up a bit to bring them closer to the strings.

It was waiting for me when I got home pics later [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/227177-nbd/"]www.basschat.co.uk/topic/227177-nbd[/url]/

I've just seen that the status on my new bass on the ParcelForce track and trace has been changed to delivered I so want to go home now and caress it. Or complain because it's been smashed to a million pieces...

£15 Posted A PJ Pickup set from a Korean Aria Pro 2 Magna Series 5 String. All screws, foam supports and 3 control knobs (splined fitment). Oops, supposed to be £15 in the Trade/Price box, but I can't edit it. Sorry. [url="http://s1118.photobucket.com/user/SOrchard6/media/DSCF6522_zps1133a1ef.jpg.html"][/url] -

It weighs 1.4 kg though and came from eBay!

No idea! But from an engineering POV it's rather nicely done. It might work better as art though

An half finished unbranded P-Bass project in bits. The body is solid wood not ply. Currently finished in Halfords white primer and I also have the white scratchplate that came with it but I think I may have mislaid the screws. The Fender style bridge holes have been plugged and new ones drilled to take a Schaller 3D4 bridge for sale separately. The neck has had the face of the headstock (badly) finished in yellow. The 4IL elephant ear tuners and ferrules have been removed for painting but they are included. The body and neck are from different instruments but the body has been plugged and re-drilled to take the new neck. Neck plate, and if I can find them, the scratchplate screws included. I'll post pics of the whole sorry mess and the intended re-fin design if anyone wants them. £50 Posted

I have a Schaller 3D4 bridge in chrome. I don't have any shims or screws for it though. It's pre German re-unfication and says made in W. Germany on it so quite old, maybe that makes it vintage or antique and I can ask hundreds for it, but I doubt it I'm after a probably overpriced £20 inc posting or trade for a Schaller 3D5 bridge also in chrome. EDIT - it doesn't say made in W. Germany! But it is sold pending the usual. -
I think the dot markers are bolts holding the fingerboard on. Is it wrong to say that I quite like it?

[quote name='Si600' timestamp='1389682036' post='2336814'] As you say, all I need to do now is decide how much I want it. [/quote] Enough to pull the trigger it would seem... I'm terrified now!

Very nice.

I can't crop my avatar, neither in IE or Chrome. I get the crosshairs and can select the area I want, but when I click done I get a pop-up saying that I need to finish editing first. Any suggestions?

Make one 4 and one 5er and send them out one after the other

Thank you for that, that approach hadn't occurred to me! He's going to take some more pictures in daylight at my request so it does sound genuine. As you say, all I need to do now is decide how much I want it.

I'm actually between the two, so either. Let's not derail this topic about how nice BCers are though and take it to events or PM.

How about this one?

I was making noises about having one in Northampton ([url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/187294-midlands-bass-bash-2013/"]http://basschat.co.u...bass-bash-2013/[/url]) but I didn't get around to doing anything about it. Re-reading my thread the consensus is build it and they will come (maybe ) PM me if you want to collaborate this year on one.

No offer of passing on my contact details, just got the response of what do you need to know.

http://item.mobileweb.ebay.co.uk/viewitem?sbk=1&nav=SEARCH&itemId=201019043071 What sort of questions should I be asking about this? The thing that really puts me off is the "selling for a friend" bit.
