    Yamaha/JD Bass Never seen anything like that before.

    He who shall never be named must be eyeing this with envy.
  3. NikNik
    Me neither!

    I used to do that. I also put a tight, rubber band over the nut to dampen vibration. Gave it a kind of analogue synth sound.

    That's really sweet. PM'd.

    Disable the email option and enable mobile number. That usually sorts out the shid. I believe these ISSA messages are generated by a Gumtree bot.

    Tell that person there's a third type of scat!

    I'd leave. It looks pretty cool as is.

    I like that 'board. Looks like ebony, possibly even ebonol.

    ALmost as good as the old Craigslist ads. Pocket Bass Player

    Status Hotwires were a good flat but I'm not sure they're made any more.

    The 'relicing' is awful.

    Read. Fanx.

    Only if you rip p*** out of its lack of QC.

    It's a borrowed image. The last time I saw my old one (it came into my hands for a small repair) the brass was heavily tarnished and someone had totally wrecked the very basic wiring.

    I understand what a scarf joint is. I don't know how you can tell it's a scarf through that finish.
  17. NikNik
    You reckon it's a scarf joint? They're meant to be set necks
  18. NikNik
    I see your interpretation.

    The top image depicts up-bow. Up-bow is initially rectified by tightening the truss-rod, not g it. Loosening it would make the up-bow more pronounced, no?

    See my second sentence.
  21. NikNik
    Huh? How would you propose pulling the neck straight, then?
  22. NikNik
    Indeed it does. But I do wonder how long it's been like that. I'd be hard-pressed offering them £150 for that. A bit of a nerve being coy about that crack.
  23. NikNik
    Correct. I once saw a Taylor acoustic with such a crack, caused by continual tightening of the the truss rod to counteract an up-bowing neck. Unfixable. The guitar had to go to Taylor for a replacement neck.
  24. NikNik
    That's the rod coming through the back.

    Oops. Link now rectified.
