  1. That is glorious... I am both sad and relieved that you are far away. Someone is getting a fantastic bit of kit there.
  2. Of course it is... I clearly struggle to notice the difference between four tuner holes and six 🤦‍♂️ But I can appreciate that intonation could be vexing. Thanks for replying 👍
  3. There are some suggestions in this thread: https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/466753-fitting-tuners-if-headstock-holes-are-too-big/ Most of the links still seem to work.
  4. Really interesting conversion - and something I've never seen before. It might be a daft question, but is the string tension between a guitar and a bass comparible? Just thinking about the neck/trussrod etc.
  5. It's my son's 18th today - I'd love to be able to buy this for him... not that he plays bass! But I'd make sure it was well looked after and played regularly on his behalf. GLWTS - someone is getting a great instrument 👍
  6. Bought a nice Sterling bass - complete with tasteful cosmetic upgrades. All good - very considerate seller and everything worked like it should 👍
  7. This is definitely worth the asking 👍 I did a similar headstock reshaping to mine, which suits it perfectly. I also changed the scratchplate to clear and tinted the neck to a more amber shade, and it really looks the part to me. GLWTS!
  8. Just to bolster your confidence... I did the drill out and plug with dowel version of the fix, admittedly on a very cheap neck, and made a horrid job of it. For someone who likes woodworking I was ashamed of myself. However, it's been fitted to my office beater-bass for several years and has been completely solid. No problems with movement or strange sounds coming through the pickups or when played unplugged. Have a practice run on a bit of scrap and go for it!
  9. It's just a different way to earth the bridge:
  10. I recently bought a Barefaced cab from Sam - it's in fantastic condition and it was a really easy transaction. Just how buying from the forum should be 👍
  11. If this was a four string I would have already smashed my piggy bank. GLWTS, not that it will be here long!
  12. Bought a high pass filter from Pat - all went smoothly, and the guy knows how to wrap a parcel. I'm still breaking into it...
