After having waited for Thomann to get them in, I have just pulled the trigger. I'll report back when it arrives (if anyone cares any more). 🙂

You can undo the screws on the scratchplate and feed it between the strings and the neck usually.

Me too. With one exception, all my basses have that profile.

As you see from my signature, I'm a dyed-in-the-wool Precision player. The Jazz bass I have simply because I'm a sucker for CAR with a matching headstock. It is rarely played and the body shape is really awkward to my eyes. Generally, I find a Jazz neck a bit narrow. That said, the B profile on all my Precisions is only a little wider, but significantly so for me. Similarly, sonically, the Precision does everything I want a bass to do.

Lee may be keeping Wilko and Gypie Mayo apart.

Imaginary, I suspect :-(. For the purposes of DID (with a 'c' - naughty old grammar police) she would be my luxury item. She could be my only item.

There';s a great similarity but Wilko took it a step further. Either way, it was an excuse to post a great old Johnny Kidd number.

The capital i if that's what you mean, is 8mm on my 1971 bass.

Hi Jason. We have a guy here who knows a lot about Japanese instruments and so he may have some knowledge. There are aspects of that which look familiar, but I can't place it at the moment. Might be worth changing the subject to be something like 'please help identify this' so people know what you're after.

I'm afraid Kate Bush is already on my island. Sorry. 🙂

I send mine to Guitarwrist. He makes jewellery, but sells the pieces for charity. https://www.theguitarwrist.co.uk/

That wouldn't work with a proper plug, like we have. 😉

That may be true. However, cables etc in a decent (flexible) bag can fit into odd spaces and help keep other things in place. Not so much in a truck, but certainly in the rear of a splitter van.

Definitely. It's a despicable crime.

Doesn't look like it, does it?

Absolutely. I am not quite sure of the meaning of "cheeky quick sale". If there is no commitment to buy then there is no obligation on the seller, save to inform the other party to spare them a wasted journey.
