  1. This is what you need : https://www.banzaimusic.com/Partsland-BLEND-500K-AC.html
  2. You can send from UK to UK...
  3. As I'm using EuroSender for a while and promoting it for a while too, there is a 2 day latency for the pickup as it's a logistics company. But they can pickup anywhere you want and deliver anywhere you want too, all across Europe and to some other countries too. 😉 Thanks for the discount, Chris.
  4. Anything by Muse : I hate people unable to recognise their main influence, in this case Ultravox John Foxx period, more specifically Ha!-Ha!-Ha! Anything by Oasis : bland by definition. Anything by Whitesnake : the worst band in the known and unknown universe. And of course, all these autotune "singers".
  5. Buying fretted basses as I (almost) never play them, being a fretless guy. But the worse was getting into (truckloads of) vintage instruments as these are not better ones, but certainly way more expensive, for sure. Thankfully, I always got my money back, and learned so much about vintage gear that, now, I know that most of them are fake ones... Sad but true.
  6. You can easily check it by pressing just after the second fret, there must be some clearance above the first fret.
  7. Looks like the nut has been filled too deep, indeed.
  8. The fingerboard radius, as stated in the original ad, is 7,25" (184R in metric). For the nut width @Jadenacre will have to measure.
  9. The load will be different. You'll get a bit more highs and a bit more output, but sometimes it's hardly audible.
  10. Traded my Glockenklang 3 bands preamp for Kev's EBS-PRE. Everything was smooth, fast and easy with great communication all along. Another credit to BassChat. Thanks mate.
  11. Here is the original ad on Facebook : https://m.facebook.com/commerce/products/2828457340528928/
  12. Häussel is making terrific pickups and if a pickup is sounding that good on a fretless bass, it will sound the same on a fretted bass. That said, it looks like Adrian is having a right shoulder capsulitis. He should see a doctor.
  13. Self called experts are once again lost as they don't know a thing about the Fender non-export Japanese models. This Precision Bass is NOT a Squier, but a true Fender made in Japan made in 1983 for the local market only bearing the cute name PB 57-95, which absolutely doesn't mean it was made in 1995, but more the fact that it's a reissue of the 57~59 model. The Made in Japan was moved from the back of the headstock to the heel in early 1983. This bass has been sold by The Perfect Guitar who is the only official importer around here for these very very very rare basses... Next time, don't ruin somebody else thread with your ignorance, just check or ask before, it's BassChat here, not TalkBass... Sorry for being rude, but the masked avenger thing is something I'm just fed up with.

    Is the war over, now ? 😎 The asking price is very decent for such a beast, somebody willing to do the same mods on a new price basis will have to pay a lot more than these £1200...
  15. Did you try this ? Aluminium is very hard to solder. If you have lead in your tin, it might end up with a disaster. You'll have to use flux and a zinc-tin solder to do it. And you'll have to heat it over a long period too. That's why it's preferable to use copper which will be soldered within seconds.
  16. Easy, as customs don't know a thing about wood. You can tell them it's flamed maple, they won't be able to tell you it's not. Sad but true.
  17. Make a star grounding, that's the best way to ground. Ans all cavities must be grounded otherwise it's a useless job. Aluminium is very good for grounding, but is impossible to solder (with tin) hence the use of copper.
  18. Are your cavities all connected to the ground ? If not, it could solve the problem. That and check the conductivy between bridge and ground : the closest to 0 (zero) Ohm, the better.
  19. Benedetti pickups and Glockenklang are working very well together. The John East is not for these pickups, you'll lose the huge dynamics and articulation of these terrific single coil pickups.
  20. Nobody mentioned a spare guitarist, drummer, keyboardist and singer... 🤣
