  1. hah - i've lost the plot. I'm now watching a fourth vid already. Entertaining
  2. Dammit - that was fascinating. Beato is a superb musician himself. That Yes vid was mesmerising so much i went and found Beato dissecting Kid Charlemagne and watched him tackle the brilliant and unique Larry Carlton solo. Utterly engaging
  3. Nice basses regarding the US marco basses
  4. That neck i posted is a peavey, so yes, they deffo use it in some basses
  5. I havent come across that as i avoid the fever of vintage J's and P's. What i have come across is allen key truss sockets that seem to defy all size allen keys, or allen sockets that get rounded off inside by the allen key tool Also, depending on the bass and how well the allen key fits, you have to slacken off the strings first so as to be able to manipulate the allen key in either direction.
  6. Dear Cliff, they're coming out of the woodwork I was thinking they were rare
  7. Its the only bass i've ever owned and seen with such rod adjustment - but i see they're about - cheers OBBM
  8. This is such a simple truss rod system that i'm wondering why it isn't used in loads of basses ?
  9. That was a steal. I've never seen a Greco selling that cheap over here, well not in recent years, but there's always exceptions
  10. Yes, i was going to say £200 for a Greco Jazz would be a bass i'd snap up in the blink of an eyeball Definately at least double or more
  11. I messaged him too and told him to be careful about selling fakes, and he's just told me he's relisted it. I also said it may or not be a Columbus, but dont quote me since we dont really know - so what does he do ?
  12. Yup Grecos keep going up in price too
  13. Grecos were excellent basses. Dont be confused with the likes of Columbus etc
  14. It may well do, if it was well built with decent components
  15. I'm gonna stitch everyone up - it's Crooner Now let that be and end to it
  16. I'll not be doing the woodwork I've been there and done that, and i should never be let near bass modding ever again 👀
  17. Looks like it's the money option. Delicate soldering is not my bag either
  18. Thanks guys PW - most of that is over my head. There's way too much jargon that i'd need to decypher
  19. Thats right, and i managed to get it out with Optrex * * Other eyewashes are available
  20. Fosters ( wife beater ) masquerading as lager
  21. Not in any order of preference Japan - Quiet Life / Gentlemen Take Polaroids Brand X - Moroccan Roll / Unorthodox Behaviour / Masques Talk Talk - The Colour Of Spring / It's My Life
