eBay .... If no conductive glue you have to solder each piece..... Time passes ....

[quote name='Thor' timestamp='1407360766' post='2519884'] Cheers for all the responses guys, I do have another query, is it best to shield the pup routes with that copper shielding material - I'm guessing probably a must given the single coil pick up arrangement? [/quote] Yes but get the stuff with conductive glue and make sure it's earthed

Where did you get that vid ? I can only find audio cd

Ok - will look that one out. In all the other pics and videos I've seen its a battered p bass - the same one I saw on the old grey whistle test performance when Joshua tree came out.

He can probably tell you a likely year, factory it came from and what the workers had for lunch on the day it was made [/quote] yes, try and capture a clear view of any scraps of food left in the cavity when taking your photos.

A little bit "of its time", ant but I think it still holds up

my four year old said "what's this music daddy - I like this. And It isnt loud enough "

What's really ticking me off is sellers who are actually in china pretending to be shipping from within the uk

Complain to eBay and neg them

I've never actually gigged but I did have lessons and my teacher (quickly) showed me the bones of stand by me and then made me play it straight away whilst he played telecaster. Deep. end Nerve racking, magical, transporting. He told me after: "you're quite a lot better than you think"

I like #3 too

[quote name='ambient' timestamp='1406227047' post='2509605'] I read somewhere about someone sending a bolt on necked bass in 2 parts. Seems like a good idea, especially if there's no hard case. You could detach the neck, and really go to town with bubble wrap, use a large, deep, rectangular box. [/quote] Or two joined together - it worked really well for me

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1406198268' post='2509200'] Didn't someone suggest hanging [color=#505050][font=Arial, Helmet, Freesans, sans-serif][size=4] [/size][/font][/color][color=#505050][font=Arial, Helmet, Freesans, sans-serif][size=4]Esther McVey? Or did I dream it? Either way it would be very wrong. [/size][/font][/color] [/quote] Yes it would - I have a few tasks in mind for her to achieve first

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1391343869' post='2355945'] Good idea... now what's the best place to get heavy nuts..? Ibiza..? [/quote] Good place to get empty nuts I believe I use the grabby Hercules ones with wooden mounts. The wall is thermobloc as it's internal and so I just used very long screws (7cm or so) driven straight into the wall using a power screwdriver so they're tight. They're not shifting and the hangers are easily strong enough for the items you see in my sig
