  1. My parcel was almost ripped to shreds across the top of the package showing the bubble wrap lining. It has obviously caught on sorting machinery or run over!
  2. Evri 'not a delivery' but left outside the gate in the rain, ripped open and badly torn, no wonder the driver 'chucked and ran', thankfully the order of the cable is robust and inside its own plastic bag. Purchase company advised not to use in future (expensive parts, mics etc would have easily fallen out). I was surprised my name/address label was still intact. I did have a decent Hermes driver before who delivered to our door, not any more.
  3. I wonder if any Basschatter has my old Gibson Les Paul bass….I had ‘Knight Guitars’ in Weybridge Surrey change the neck to a new long scale, a bass clef insert was added at the 12th fret and they used the original headstock veneer too. It was great job, as if it came from an original Gibson build.
  4. I swapped a Gibson EB3 tobacco sunburst for a Ricky 4001 stereo and just didn’t get on with it so I sold/px it in for a Gibson Les Paul bass and then I had Dick Knight (RIP) replace the the neck to a long/34” scale neck with bass clef inlay at the 12th fret (was I the first to have that sort of inlay done?).
  5. Unfortunately ‘eastern’ necks are not to be trusted for 100% quality. As a ‘test’ project I bought one off EBay around £80 and it was absolute rubbish, good firewood though…(a double bass bow many years ago was already bent on arrival). The Fender ones seem absurdly expensive from a U.K. shop mentioned earlier, you may as well buy a full Fender bass for the same price (and take the neck off and sell the rest on 🥴). I would think your Allparts supplier would do the job.
  6. I just tried Chris….and I never knew either 😀
  7. All the best Oldman..
  8. Maybe call a publisher and ask what the usual way of working is applied….many authors (of non fictional books) quote from other sources and list the ‘Thanks to’ authors at the end of the book.
  9. I used to buy from them years ago, hopefully they are still willing to send a few pieces out of these 50k pots you need with longer shafts...good luck.
  10. Try this UK place... Omeg......https://www.omeg.co.uk
  11. Look at Allparts U.K. and Armstrong Music U.K. (used to be WD music).
  12. Yes! I missed those connections…..methinks a complete rewire is in order, new pots using AWG.22 cloth cover wire.
