I found the Avant - Guard ones were very close to the originals. Here’s one I had on my AVRI, very ‘opalescent’ being Celuloid.

Yet another incredible solderless Loom from John for my Squier Mini P Bass this time with the usual second to none service & craftsmanship using quality components. I was thinking of changing the pickups but the improvement in tone is so good there’s no need now, so it’s always worth fitting one of John’s Looms initially as even if you do replace the pickups later, you are safe in the knowledge that you already have a first class wiring harness. The great feature of them being solderless is that even an old technical Duffer like me can fit them literally in minutes. Also not being very technically gifted, I tell John the type of sound I’m looking for and he recommends the correct value of capacitor to fit - Fab. Thanks again John - outstanding👍👍

Bought as a Xmas present (don’t tell Mrs. Dodgnofski)😟😟 - fitted once & less than 30 minutes playing time - .039 .056 .077 .096 gauges, long scale - uncut so will fit in line, or 2+2 etc. Although La Bella say these are extra light, in my humble opinion I would say they are more like light, or maybe even medium gauge. Would trade for the La Bella - or possibly other makes - flat round low tension jobbies for my old fingers, as lighter gauge as possible please.

Bought some strings from Rob & they are spot on. Excellent communication, packaging & speedy delivery as ever. Thanks again Rob👍👍

I ‘try’ every year & then one day the dreaded GAS creeps up from nowhere and ‘gets me’ 😳😳😂😂😂😂🙈🙈👍👍

Ernie Ball Stingray Short Scale *pending*
dodgnofski replied to Sweenyrod's topic in Basses For Sale
Always wished MM Basses came without the pickguard, plus to be really ‘picky’ - with ‘through body’ Potentiometers & input jack in place of the banana style control plate🙈🙈 Lovely Bass though & half way to ‘perfection’ - in my humble opinion of course😃😃 Having said that, I had the Sterling short scale version & the passive electronics were superb on that too. GLWTS👍👍 -
Ah, yes - Mine were the longer shafted Lollipops👍👍
-
My ‘68 had Lollipop tuners👍
-
Around 90 miles away from me, so at my age I would need to purchase one of these first…..
-
Not forgetting 17. Mustang Bass😃👍

Nicely finished rear of neck example if anyone fancied trying one👍👍 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/267085713988?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=cTV5a5DbRkO&sssrc=2047675&ssuid=PjFQ1zqpS7C&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

It’s from this Chap on eBay, I think he’s named Brian & highly recommended👍👍
-
Even better than expected, high quality craftsmanship & fits even better than the original! Fender etc could learn a few things from Brian, especially how to produce a lovely oldie worldy opalescent pattern👍👍

I had a very old set of La Bella Black Nylon short scale tape wounds which fitted a treat & sound great👍 Will post pics when I’ve fitted the pick guard👍👍

I bought one for noodling purposes & thinking that they are cheap enough so that if need be upgrading the tuners, pickups & bridge wouldn’t break the bank. However, although l can only comment on the one I have as I know build quality can vary across the same range, but it is incredible! Arrow straight neck, holds tune perfectly, spot on intonation with just small adjustments to the bridge & Truss Rod, plus less high frets levelled than on some Basses I’ve owned which cost ten times the price, which then afforded a really low, playable action & it sounds like a P Bass should - Fab👍👍 So not needing to buy any replacement hardware, I’ve treated my self to a Vintage Dark Tort pick guard, which I’m eagerly awaiting to arrive. It also fits easily into a guitar Gig Bag - Boomshanka😃👍👍

Lee bought my headless bass, he’s a lovely Chap with excellent communication skills, an absolute pleasure to deal with & very highly recommended to all BC’ers👍👍 Thanks again Lee.

Bought a Gig Bag from Neil & as usual he was a pleasure to deal with. Excellent communication, plus superb packaging & fast despatch he is a credit to Basschat. Thank you Neil👍👍

John very kindly made me a passive Loom for my Jack Bass and after asking what type of sound I preferred, supplied a superb alternative to replace the original active circuitry. It was so easy to fit, even for an old Duffer like me & sounds incredible - Outstanding! Thanks again John, very much appreciated.

Bought a cracking P Bass from Dan - third time we’ve dealt on here, if memory serves? Spot on communication, excellent packaging and fast delivery - as ever. Thanks again Dan👍👍
