I think we just need time to get used to the new system. I'm not certain because I haven't had the need to buy anything yet, but isn't it below £135 the seller lists item 'including VAT' which they collect, over £135 they list it as 'plus VAT' which the courier will collect and charge a fee for. Aren't all VAT applicable items over the threshold sold as 'plus VAT'?

Yes, if a volume control was linear, although the sound level is, as you say, dropping at a consistent rate, the human ear hears it as an accelerated amount in the first (or last depending which way we're going) section of the sweep. So a logarithmic control counter balances that quirk of human hearing to make it sound equal throughout the sweep.

I agree it's a confusing time buying from the EU here in the UK, but, it's just as confusing for a seller in the EU selling to the UK. If I were an EU seller I might be inclined to think, 'you chose this, you can work it out.' We (the UK) have made a very difficult situation for everyone but as usual we want everyone to make it easy for us. Unless I'm missing the meaning of the OP. 🙂

Too slow again, ignore me.

To answer my phone own question, neck dive presumably, but you can't have everything. 😉

If you include a payment of £1.60 to cover return postage and admin fees I'll gladly reimburse you. 😁

This is amazing. If I was in a Glam Band I'd be all over this. A funky shaped, silver glitter P bass, what's not to like? Be interesting to see how much it gets too. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Westone-Raider-1-Rare-1983-Bass-Guitar-Matsumoku-Japan-/303865791197?_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49292

I've been having a closer look at this, and maybe I'm just too fussy, but how blasé do you have to be to remove the neck at some point and then refit it with the neck plate upside down. 🤔 I still like it though. 🙂

I'd just like to say I've just bought a set from Warman, and @Ricky 4000has bought from ebay. Both sets only contain narrow files, fine for a guitar but will only just about do the average G slot, not D, A or E. Also they aren't very coarse at all. Sorry for suggesting them.

No not finished yet. I've got to fit the pickups/switches/controls and then try and wire it up so it works. I've been a bit slack but I just haven't felt like doing it for the last couple of weeks. These badges will spur me on now so will be finished soon.

Get through a couple of bottles and you'll be about set to buy this for a grand. 😁

Well, I've just had a knock at the door and opened it to find Michael Caine, Donald Sutherland and Robert Duvall on my doorstep. Sutherland hands me a packet (well places it on my step, stands back 2 metres and takes a photo of it) and informs me that "The Eagle has landed". @Dad3353, these are fantastic! Thank you so much. Soooo much better than having to resort to a vinyl sticker. The white is actually fine as it is but I'm off to fish out some gold paint in a mo and paint the top surface of one. A little sneaky peak. Once again thank you, a legend indeed. 😊👍

Don't think I haven't thought about it. If I were to get one I'd prefer an original white one though, so that the finish had the same amount of aging as the neck and hardware.

Yes a grand is out of my range, especially as it's been varnished by his Dad or something. But I'd be happy to £180. 😁

In my experience it's easier to discern pitch differences at a higher pitches, as you're finding with your guitar. This is why when trying to pick out the bassline of a song you're learning, people will sometimes suggest using a device that plays the song at a higher pitch, the bassline then just pops out.

I didn't notice that to be honest, I was too busy checking out my reflection in the jack plate. I'm guessing that's what he means by "replaced pick up" as the pickups look genuine, but the jack plate is a new piece of mirrored acrylic. It's still got the headstock badge though, they've usually fallen out by now, although it's been out as it's in on the wonk.

I really, really like these. But I really, really, really want a white one. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Hayman-4040-1975-Vintage-UK-Made-Bass-Guitar-/303857451975?_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49292

I like the look of that. A P with a difference. Shame it's collection only.

Did you hang it on the same peg as the guitarists hat?
