Shameless plug - put my DB200H head up for sale. Great sound, but too much power for me at home... https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/463640-laney-digbeth-db200h-head/

It's a fair point, Paul. I'm on the fence on this one - I haven't explicitly asked the seller for anything to help sort this out, but equally it felt like a very dismissive response when I raised it & that's now things should work round here. Will have a think, but not keen on having the headache of the inevitable hassle it will trigger if it can be cheaply fixed...

Thanks all - it's a fair point that the seller wouldn't have known & that's why I'm not trying to pursue it for reimbursement - it's more the attitude, especially as a strap button has been roughly repaired after what looks to be a knock & that wasn't called out either. Been close to a bad feedback rant, but thought better of it! Hope to see a luthier today & fingers crossed they can sort it... 🤞

Thanks all - I think drilling will be the answer so I'm going to take it to a luthier rather than have a blast myself. The stainless steel screws look to be a winner - great tip! Hopefully won't be an expensive fix, but still a bit miffed the seller washed their hands on this one - not the most disastrous deal I've ever had, but not great & thankfully not typical of people on here... Cheers! 😁👍

Thanks for the info - it's broken below the body line, so drilling it out might be the only option & so probably looking at a pro fixing it. Never had this scenario before - must have been some serious sweaty playing going on to cause this, eh!?!

Hi - I recently bought a bass on here & when it turned up it was in a worse state than I expected. Most of it is fixable, but on trying to remove the bridge for a clean, one of the screws had corroded to such a degree that the head came straight off on the first turn! Any idea how to fix this one? It's a Fender-style mount & all I can think of is drilling it out then gluing in a dowel before redrilling a hole for a new screw. I raised it with the seller & he wasn't much help - his response was that it was a 'shame'. Damn right, eh!?! 😡

Did a deal with David recently & he's been an absolute pleasure to do a deal with - great comms, straight up & no hassles whatsoever. Enjoy! 😁👍

Dave bought my old Baldwin bass via a face-to-face deal & everything was perfect - he's a great guy to deal with & wouldn't hesitate trading again. Enjoy the bass! 😁👍
