    You're going to be gutted the first chip it gets. It looks too nice to play - it should be hanging in an art gallery

    Manufacturing defect/unfit for purpose = full refund or replacement (under UK law, but probably European law too)

    Bah! Missed that one, beaten to it Edit: I'll raise you "Do you use your continental quilted maple bass?"

    Sheet music?

    I toyed with the idea of building one myself... oh, for a good 5 minutes or so. Then I remembered that I haven't built a single guitar yet, I have a queue of at least 3 that I want to build, and the chances of actually playing it at a gig are pretty negligible. Ah well, dream on and back to the sanding...

    Or get your frets dressed

    When you've got the volume and tone up full it won't make the slightest bit of difference anyway

    The amp isn't cluttering up the place any more and you've got the guitar you were GASing for. And the problem is?

    The Charvel Charvette is also a budget guitar - I have one. I've never found another Tokai branded locking trem unit like the one that mine is sporting - and I've searched a lot

    Leave feedback on their feedback thread. Don't be afraid to leave negative feedback (avoiding libel/slander obviously). Always check feedback threads before buying and selling. Luckily most BC members are "diamond geezers" but you do get the odd turd

    The only thing I can think of is the relative strength of the magnets. You could try a "pull" test to compare them by sandwiching a piece of ferrous metal between them and seeing which magnets "win" when you pull them apart. I'm blindly guessing here

    If you need a really thin dowel try some wooden bbq skewers. I'd slacken the strings to make sure there's no tension first though and give it a good 24 hours for the glue to set Edit: Superglue would probably be enough on its own though if you can get it right down in your crack (fnarr!)

    My mate at work has loaned me his active 6 string Sandberg fretless and it's a lovely bass. Nice clean sounds and a gorgeous "mwah" to it
  14. Norris
    Correct. Take it steady though when adjusting and give the neck time to settle between small tweaks
  15. Norris
    Do you hunch over your bass when sitting? Maybe try sitting up straight as an intermediate step to full standing
  16. Norris
    That's looking great

    [quote name='Grangur' timestamp='1443428480' post='2874492'] It appears to be the same piece of wood. [/quote] Shame. It might have broken cleanly if it was a join. In that case I'd maybe try using a spreader (old credit card?) to force some glue into the crack to stabilise it.
  18. Norris
    Is it all the same piece of wood or is the split on a join?
  19. Norris
    That looks terrific

    I'll suggest Quo - Rocking All Over the World. Straight eights 12-bar and the crowd will sing along

    It might be worth getting in contact with the retailer where you bought it. I'm sure they will be able to get in touch with Tecamp
  22. Norris
    I hope a local BCer can help out. It might be worth putting out a distress call in General Discussion

    I assume you've changed the fuse in the back of the amp rather than the mains plug? It's the amp fuse that's likely to have blown (unless the board is fried!) If you're anywhere near Leicester you're quite welcome to borrow my Rumble 500 combo. I'll be going out in 2 hours time though (social, not gigging)

    As Twigman says, your options are to move the strap button towards the head if possible, make the head lighter (lighter tuners), or make the bottom end heavier (undesirable)

    I have a set of SD QPs on my fretted PJ. I don't know if they'd qualify as "smooth" though. They do sound good
