    Maybe they sell less of them so costs are higher

    Tried it, way too floppy It was on a prosebass fan fret and I had assistance from mr prosebass himself but it wasn't to be

    i have plates to sell, with a thick layer of celluloid. I'm using one myself now on my own P bass. Apparently they fit a US and MIM perfectly according to reports from basschat members, and fit a VM pretty well too. See the pictures below that they have kindly taken the time to post. dark brown early 60s style or later-style mid brown NB There is a sheet of plastic film on them, but you can see the depth of the top layer. £16.50 each plus postage at cost (2.95) I'm happy to use BACS or Paypal, but would appreciate not getting fees I have a few dark brown Jazz plates with screws, that Norris was kind enough to try on his MIM jazz for me (I don't own one any more) - he said they fitted fine. £18 for those, with screws Ead advises me that whilst very pretty, they do NOT quite fit the '96 MIK Squier 50th Anniversay Bass as the original is very slightly larger. I'm happy to send you one on a Fit or Return basis, provided that you send it back in the original state. thanks

    I realised that i found guitar a bit boring and I noticed how people reacted to bass.

    [quote name='gjones' timestamp='1487785137' post='3242905'] Just put a random word in front of 'Metal' and there'll be a band that plays it.. [/quote] Badger metal never really took off then ...

    [quote name='markstuk' timestamp='1487447340' post='3239923'] I thought the best violins were made in Cremona ? [/quote] Stradivarius and co had their workshops there

    I'd tell them to get stuffed, unless you're busy telling them what kind of drums to play ?

    [quote name='Coilte' timestamp='1487754352' post='3242373'] Flats are not really expensive ..(initially...yes..).. when you consider that they can last for up to ten years...longer in some cases. [/quote] the fender ones arent even expensive - longevity notwithstanding. I paid £14 on amazon for 7250 flats .
  13. Geek99
    Fender flats are cheap on smazon and I recommend them

    I reliced mine and it went well, I didn't touch the hardware as i didn't want to affect the functioning. I rounddd the board edges and the pup cover, all positive changes So what was the result ? My music loving friends (not musos) say it looks cool, people at OM come over and ask to look at it. Kids love it. And that's the point if it as far as I'm concerned; it raises the profile of the electric bass guitar
  15. Geek99
    most welcome.
  16. Geek99
    i may just set up an ebay alert...
  17. Geek99
    Now I really /do/ like that
  18. Geek99
    Yes quite cheap also

    I really really like relics, especially if they have parts like underside of the upper horn that no one can quite believe would relic naturally Phew - NOW we are back on track Has any of the naysayers thought that maybe the grain would pop the paint there (and in other non obvious places ) through expansion and contraction, rather than wear ? Adam Claytons 73 P has paint loss there on that horn

    They are very "clicky" too

    I've tried regular electric strings on an electro acoustic and they sound far too bright
  22. Geek99
    It's that a metal flake finish ?
  23. Geek99
    Coke is good for the can's metal

  25. Geek99
    can someone please pass the popcorn ? This topic will run and run and I may be here for some time. Its lucky we never discuss relicing and its relative merits (or not) so it could be an enlightening debate
