It’s a spectrum mr G, not a prescription list. Try getting something to move around in your hands (like a string of beads) when you have to concentrate my two girls both have adhd and it’s how they get thru school

Get a freaking room ....

Oh god - not more amateur-ish cod carpentry that would shame a preschool woodwork class .... can’t you just go to night school and learn to do this stuff properly? [sigh]

There are a fair few us members and some Canadians also

Hello Han - my youngest D is a US citizen as it happens. more female members is a good thing. There’s a lot of jargon and in-jokes - just ask - don’t be puzzled

If you attached the headstock to a decent sized cart horse you could do Some ploughing and the pickup cover would be really good for turning stones out of the churned earth fromnthe ploughing . And you could play it to scare away crows

I tried one once - I’d never played a fender then and owned an aria magna 5 I gave it back to its owner (and his lovely redhead wife) and lied convincingly that it was lovely and that I could see why it was his pride and joy. I had my fingers crossed behind my back

Yes but at least that sound is not some dreadful trebly played-with-a-pick-like-a-total-lamer racket let me guess, you use the black ones, chopped up into kindling (ie “the neck”) to blend in with the charcoal and the red ones to blend in with the lit burning staves ? To cook your cowboy cookout beans on, right?

I’ll convince you that “you don’t need a ric” by a) letting you see one b) letting you play one there you go. Sorted 😛

That looks amazing value - wish I lived closer -
I have the ampeg ba108 (it’s little brother) and it’s awesome

You probably just tightened it up too much all at once - put it down to experience, although maybe you can swap the neck out for another ? gently does it

If you had a classic car you could not fit OE tyres. -
I’ve had an idea - the claimed “just one guy” at sandberg who does relics should quit, go and work for Fender CS and then there’ll be no relic sandbergs, CS relic fenders will look half-decent @Beedster AND they’ll have a fender logo neatly satisfying @wateroftyne as well i know ... so simple, such genius ...

Yes and I’m right

I think you fornicated it up right there

I bought a bass from Leigh Gordon (norcheeba) and it was just a 90s mex jazz bass with a neck like a banana and action you could park a bus under. Sounded better when he played it tho ...

Mustang sally ? No ... oh ...

They are ... blessed by the special pixies who make US fenders worth every penny
-
I measured my jazz bass as 0.0008 ohm resistance from edge of front pup to Jack socket using conductive glue copper tape - pretty much nothing
-
Enjoyed that, and I had huge hots for Nancy Wilson in the 90s

... and you like the instrument...if you don’t gel with it it’s a non starter

Buying one expensive Gibson might be considered a mistake, buying two expens....
-
I don’t agree - there will always be some flaws - it this particular OP cannot live with them comfortably then that’s reason enough to ask for a swap

Google “300£ to dollars” ...
