Can't beat a slab pine body :-). Did you roughly mark pickup and control cavity positions then drill the hook up wire hole before gluing the body together? I'll be trying that if there's another build.

It's a pretty unique system. https://schack-guitars.com/covered-neck-fixing-sytem

Owned that model, damn fine bass. Company behind Revelation bought Hohner UK and since Alan Entwistle had been their top man he does design work for Revelation.

Wasn't a great deal to see though there was a technique to flipping the combo horizontal, so it could slide in the handy amp storage area on the bus. Designed with handles being closer to the top made that easy,same can't be said for my 158lb Peavey cabs.

Aye. No car back then so bus it was 🙂

Mine went to a Glasgow rehearsal place couple of year back. That was actually my 2nd one.bought the first from Grants in Edinburgh early 80's. The old Alexander's buses had a storage area for them,often hijacked by women with prams 😄

Yesterday a fella on the FB owners page had a post about Fender MB-5 pickups. Says they drop in no problem. Course a google search shows the MB-5 was discontinued years back😢

The Duncan is basically a humbucker ,they say "hum-cancelling". The 2 joined wires mean it's wired in series,stacked pickups tend to lose a bit output and series wired stops it losing more. @BassBunny is correct red is hot.

B-stock come with 3 year warranty and paid returns. Dekos are QC fails so have no warranty and,if it doesn't match the curtains, you pay for any return.

Not missing much. Fan fret guitars have been on there for 6 months,so has the fretless neck through 5 string.

Last scratchplate I did the only tools were a hacksaw and rasp for the shape,drill + various bits/countersink for the pickups etc. Drew the shape out then cut straight lines as near to the outline as possible. Curves and bevel were done with rasp. Was undecided on pickup at this stage so hid a Warman jazzbar below the scratchplate. About 90 minutes work.

I've the split coil single in a PB-50, bloody good pickup. Postal service in Spain is terrible, that bad locals don't really buy mail order.

Both use the same pickups and the preamps in each have the same boost/cut at the same frequencies. Only real difference is the USA used a Korean built PCB and the BXP had a SMT module. Alder bodies with a decorative cap was standard for both BXP & US as was pau fero boards. Most BXP did come through body with single saddle bridges but then Peavey thought that was good enough for the US "custom" bolt-on versions.Those bolt-ons used the surplus preamps from the,then, recently discontinued Millennium. Always smile when I hear folks brand those Millie preamps as an upgrade,it was simple economics 😄 Must say I'm surprised you think there's such a huge difference between the BXP version and the US. Last year a friend picked up a BXP 5'er on her travel up to visit,lovely darkwood model it is. With Gill's 3 US and my 4 it's safe to say we know the Cirrus tone well. Her latest looked,played and most importantly sounded exactly like a Cirrus.

Hotmail.com. It was already in the "junk mail" folder.

Just had an email supposedly from DHL asking to confirm delivery details. It says in reaction to lost parcels their new policy requires name,address etc. To things flag as spam. Mandatory is spelled "mondatory" and "rbkaocc.xyz" seems a funny email address for an international company. According to myonlinesecurity it's been running a fair while. https://myonlinesecurity.co.uk/fake-dhl-confirm-your-delivery-details-phishing/

Sadly they didn't go too far Dave. No sad ending though 🙂 Gregg Parker runs the Blues Museum in Chicago and Tony Saunders (bass fella) has kept busy. I exchanged a few emails with him,said he had fond memories of the Parker days.

Saw an ad last week, Nice bass,decent price etc. I was going to comment but somebody else was giving background info and saying it was an overlooked classic. Trouble was their info was wrong 🙁 What should folks do in that situation ? Info fella was quite enthusiastic and a for sale ad didn't seem like a good place to correct him. Last thing I wanted was to hinder a sale. Bass was sold but there's at least 3 people with duff info in their heads.

Congratulations on that beauty John. Seeing various items getting moved on by your good self this last wee while had me wondering. Now I see it all went to a worthy cause 😎

Now you get an inkling of the crap many of us learned to play on 😃

Another P-bass will shortly be getting a 2 saddle bridge thanks to Keith 🙂 Paid for late Thursday night,in the post Friday,delivered Saturday morning. It doesn't get much easier than that 😎 Fella's a credit to BC.

I was looking for a 2 saddle bridge and Chris got in touch. Despite post office closure and a busy schedule he got it out to me in jig time. Top man, look forward to any future dealings.

That's about 50 minutes from me if anyone wants it collected then shipped south.

Wonderful set of La Bella flats arrived from Cal this afternoon. Cal's a good guy so expect an easy painless transaction if you deal with him.

Top Man is Lee 🙂 Bought some pedal connectors from him last week. Very easy fella to deal with. He gets my vote of confidence.

Same deal as happened with the Jeff Berlin Palaedium. The design belongs to the Player not Peavey. Jeff went to Cort and Brian moved on to Carvin and Dean.
