    Andy said to consider a bass I had for sale as sold so I modified the basschat post and cancelled a scheduled listing on ebay. He then later came back and said he didn't want the bass - not the end of the world, but a pain all the same.

    I did - but now it seems it isn't !

    Bought Mike's strat which has got serious neck relief problems and a maxed out truss rod with no mention of this in the listing . Awaiting a bill from KGB for the repair (heat treatment of the neck which they think will also necessitate a fret dress and were looking at a minimum of £150 for the work)so obviously not happy.I had already spent over £120 on replacement parts (pickup, scratchplate and rear cover which I had installed prior to finding the neck issue.so was committed to keeping the guitar.Would never had bought it had known about the neck

    I love my Lodestone Primal Artist. It isn't as pretty, but has seen off 3 Shukers an ACG and an Overwater amongst other How about the Sue Ryders as well ?

    I agree, I would expect to have to change strings and do some tinkering with the action to get the bass to feel how I want, but it would seem a bit harsh to say that a bass was bad if it is just in need of a set up. Is it tone or buzzy electrics or some other issues which make people call them bad ?

    Hi, I've currently been doing some research into a new guitar and have been checking out Strats by Fender and G&L etc. On almost every site I looked at, the advice was that the G&L guitars were better made and were consistently good straight out of the factory and that you had to play quite a lot of Fender's to find a good one. Presumably this would also apply to Fender bass guitars. What have peoples experience been in buying new Fender basses, what is it that distinguishes a good one from a bad one , is it tone, is it finish , could you buy a MIM that was a better bass than a USA etc? Is there anything to particularly look out for especially if your LGS only has a couple of Fenders to test against each other ?

    Thanks for the offers guys, but I would rather put cash to it and go for an American strat. Regards, Ed

    I bought Karlfers off him and I haven't put it down since I got it. They are awesome basses really well made with a dream neck.

    Hi, what is the string spacing and could you give some more dimensions on the fretboard width. Regards, Ed

    Bump for a great guitar. I actually sold a £1000 Fender Stevie Ray Vaughan Signature Strat and kept one of these as it sounded better.
