Gary bought a tuner off me and - despite Royal Mail giving us a scare - all ended well. Top BCer as everyone else already knows 😀

Bump with latest eBay tyre kicker story: EBayer: Hey,why is the chrome neck cover plate upside down? Me: I tweaked the truss rod to get action super low and accidentally reinstalled the cover plate upside down. Would you like me to reverse it and send you a picture? EBayer: Yes please (thumbs up emoji) Me (15 minutes later): voila (with attached a couple of pics of correctly installed cover plate) .... no reply

Fantastic piece of community 🥰 -
Dave bought a Cioks PSU from me and it was a pleasure from start to finish. Enjoy!

The nice chaps at BassBros have just listed a 78 Precision which looks like it just banged through a packet of Benson & Hedges before 8am today https://bassbros.co.uk/product/1978-fender-precision-bass-11/

... and we then reversed the deal as it suited both of us. The BC circle of life, haha. All good as before!

Been asked a couple of times about the neck profile (which - being Fender Japan - isn't a traditional 60s US profile, despite the model name!) Its 1.65 inches (42mm) wide at the nut, so its basically close to the modern P bass (1970s onward; 1.625 or 1.65 inches) in nut width rather than 1950s and 1960s style 1.75 inches (44.45mm). The blurb says its U shaped (see below) and it definitely is more of a handful than my Jazz bass depth-wise (Edit: c22mm deep in first position, see photo). The finish on the rear of the neck is not thick gloopy varnish so its easy to slide around from position to position without getting 'caught'. -

Go onto Gumtree and type "Bass Guitar", location Ashton-under-Lyne
Clarky replied to HeadlessBassist's topic in Bass Guitars
Will do, am waiting on some oval mother of pearl crown neck stickers from US to make it look more like a "regular" Euro 4 (and the earlier IH edition from c.15 years ago). Plays beautifully and sounds nice and punchy. Also the blemishes are virtually invisible on the gloss black, thankfully. To all intents and purposes, anyone from a foot or two away would think its brand new/mint -

I did buy it. I paid several hundred less than the one on Andy Baxter's site after our haggling. Think Tony I is just a bit rubbish at updating Gumtree advert (it said "weeks old" when he first listed it last year, when he had not long bought it from BassDirect ... given how many adverts he has, I think he just hits refresh when an ad expires!) I had a good experience PS, mine weighs 8 pounds 2.5 ounces, so almost identical weight to Andy Baxter's (1 pound more)
