  1. Shouldn't be an issue with uneven spacing as the end holes ought to be ok and its probably just careless setup. I agree that overall bridge alignment out by more than one or two threads is likely problematic.
  2. Demand led pricing... if too many of us went for the same deal it would fade away.
  3. I need to progress negotiations. Best day of the week? Saturday?
  4. Hope things continue to progress well Telebass
  5. Well spotted. Bought a set of the nefium gauge rotos I use ony Performer at 46% off, and my favourite Fender 7250 nickels.
  6. Threaded saddle pieces so easy fix.
  7. In fairness that's a misaligned pickup not bridge. 😂 Other examples seem to be much worse.
  8. The new gold foil jazz seems to come with a misplaced bridge as standard. Is QC taking a hit?
  9. Was only £59 when I saw it. I have a very similar but rather battleworn one.
  10. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/266109807294?hash=item3df5616abe:g:PGQAAOSwP-dj2Rw3&amdata=enc%3AAQAHAAAAoNlO92TSbtEehoERoH2aV3t1k2gii%2FdATYMPri%2BM0t4zGBx1QCd7fFIspyJto1IK0%2FPVIdk8ieYIY82Vun%2BGvExVeZd0EoUy%2BAcgCk4Y44Vk6RVEM8g0hTWBNtvKXUfkRQE8NyoscsiQlj6ovSe2nPCtFYOxiU%2B1P0llP%2B%2Bq%2Ba%2BCBu458gsryX9lyc1l0y69xy1DQqam6Rm4TUEDZlQcHgc%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR57lztXDYQ
  11. I enjoy the physicality of playing with my fingers, particularly the way I can use fingers an thumb to mute and make different effects I vould never do with a pick. Pick suits some styles and songs though.
  12. Played through one of those at last night's jam. Plenty of 'heft' 😁
  13. At the Earl Haig jam last night. Making up something to go with LA woman "it's mostly A" 😁
  14. Don't be sad, Dad!
  15. This is the man who says he isn't a pedant... I rests my case, m'lud.
  16. Mongeese.
  17. It depends on what language you are speaking. In Welsh and French, for example, all objects are gendered. English's supposedly lost this with Middle English, but in practice it's hung on and been influenced by languages like French.
  18. If this trend continues, fretboards will get wider and shorter until they are actually square.
  19. The Serek Midwestern is actually a fairly clise copy of an Epiphone Coronet, but conceived as a bass. Notably the symmetric pivkguard and P90ish pickup. The Newport shares lots of style cues with the Coronet, but is quite distinct.
  20. Looks great!
  21. Fender nickels feel smoother than rotos to me.
  22. The E string appears to get closer to the edge as you go along the neck, while the G gets further away. It may be an optical illusion made worse by the angle of the photo and the shadows of the strings.
