  1. Another purchase from Patrick, exactly as described and received in a few days, top guy, thanks Tony.
  2. I’ve never really taken any notice of weight, it’s not put me off buying anything, a friends 77 jazz is 10.5 lbs and that’s fine for me, but I think 12 lbs would be uncomfortable on the shoulder even with a good strap for a long period
  3. I’ve just fitted my jazz neck to a P bass body and it was slightly tight, so I scraped the paint from the neck pocket and cleaned it up with sandpaper and it fitted like a glove, it might be worth trying this before you have a neck made for 0.08 of a mm 🙂
  4. Hi Ian, I’ll post a few pics later when I get home, you can’t really see on this one, but when I had this made I asked holger at Sandberg for a low action, it came at 1.25 mm with no buzz
  5. I’d say that’s not ply , but they have laminated the timber to get the width for the headstock, if it was ply you would see the lines on the curve of the neck .
  6. For me it’s not about the tone, I find it much less effort fretting my basses compared with my friends jazz which is about 3.5mm at the 12th ,it’s just hard work, and I can’t hear any difference in the tone between them.
  7. If I played hard I probably would , but I only use flats and have a light touch so it’s minimal string noise ,and so much easier for me to play than a high action 🙂
  8. All my jazzes are between 1and 1.5mm at the 12th E unfretted with no buzz , which is perfect for me as I play with a fairly light touch, and my Sandberg is 1mm and it will go lower
  9. What a great project, I like that, I’m looking forward to seeing what you do Maude
  10. Hi Brian, WDmusic have various jazz necks with a 12” radius, https://www.wdmusic.co.uk/necks-c60/bass-necks-c61/wd-music-jazz-bass-neck-with-ebony-fingerboard-satin-finish-p247
  11. Yeah, loving that mike ☝️
  12. A nice tune here from the Gladiators from around 1976, which I’m not 100% sure but I believe Clinton fearon played bass on , sweet Bassline, And here’s Clinton playing one of my favourite tunes,
  13. Cheers Ricky, I’ll have a listen ☝️
  14. It’s an 1800w gun from B&Q , I can’t remember what make , its in my workshop, I can let you know Monday if you want.
  15. I’m a big limelight fan and that’s a great bass , and although the bridge has been reliced I would still want it to function, the threaded saddles look ok to me, and the screws are easily replaceable if you can get them out, if not I’m sure the guys at limelight will send you a replacement 🙂
  16. I played one of these a while ago in PMT , very nice Freddie 👍
  17. Did you see his other items, there’s a stomp box to go with it 😁
