I just hope the carrier chaps handle the thing carefully - Sue Ryders can be a bit delicate. -
The Fender Select Caption Competition
The Bass Doc replied to wateroftyne's topic in General Discussion
I'll get back to you eventually pet. I'm just checking the Basschat forum to see if anybody's sussed wateroftyne's new squeeze. -
The lassie in question doesn't seem to have been overly impressed. The bloke is now watching a certain type of programme on the TV and is making use of those 'through' pockets in his suit

The Bass Doc replied to wateroftyne's topic in Bass Guitars
I reckon it's a 7-string Alembic fretless with leds, a built-in iphone and kindle. Not that unusual really. -
Cheers Chris, We did comply with the smoking ban (eventually). Lots of people miss the old place but (semi)retirement beckoned and I must say I'm happier just tinkering in the workshop.

Bugger, I've only loaned it to WoT and it looks like I won't get it back till next year......

My Hofner 185 Artist Bass - Original 1962 solid body Hofner bass
The Bass Doc replied to Michaelg's topic in Gear Gallery
[quote name='Michaelg' timestamp='1325037229' post='1479399'] do you have any information about the gold symbols? [/quote] Not info as such but I'll bet they're the initials of the original owner. I did something similar with some stick-on initials in silver back in 196blah -
[quote name='tommorichards' timestamp='1324666944' post='1476940'] do you have pictures of the dimarzio p copy? Any idea how it sounds? [/quote] Pics here. Sounds? - not quite as pokey as a Dimarzio but typical Precision tone. [attachment=95768:IMGP0535.JPG] [attachment=95767:IMGP0534.JPG] Not clear in the pics I'm afraid but the pole pieces are allen key adjustables. If you want 'the look' I could supply cream covers as an option.

[quote name='Immo' timestamp='1324668197' post='1476961'] Would you consider shipping the strings to Poland? If so, what will be the cost? I'd take Long and Extra Long. [/quote] I'd look into the cost for you and, and long as you pay whatever it is on top of the £20.00, I have no problem in doing the deal.

Where can I get a 9v battery box for a bass in the UK?
The Bass Doc replied to BassHertz's topic in Repairs and Technical
CH guitars on Ebay carry a selection I believe. -
P bass replacement pick up over view samples
The Bass Doc replied to krispn's topic in Accessories and Misc
Wonder why he didn't include the original 70s Fender pickup his bass would have had? Probably BLX'd it by taking the thing apart so many times. -
Howdo, PM on it's way. My phone's working - I just tried ringing myself and I'm definitely in but I hung up straight away 'cos I thought it was one of those "Have you been mis-sold PPI?" calls.

I made a small contribution to the economy of Greece and received a set of Schaller tuners this morning from John. Very prompt and nicely packaged, including some bits of newspaper in Greek. Unfortunately the crossword puzzle had alredy been completed otherwise I was going to rattle it off in my lunch break. Good guy to deal with.

Would you like me to pm you with my details? [/size][/font] [font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif][size=4]Craig [/size][/font] [/quote] Yup.

Here's a photo of a tuner I've found in my spares box. [attachment=94014:m head.jpg] It's not normally possible to buy a single of this type but I reckon I've bought a set in the past and gradually sold off 3 to 'unfortunates' like Craig. Let me know if it's just the key/winder or the whole tuner that's needed - it will still be necessary to disassemble the broken one to use the post that's specific to the Stagg [attachment=94022:m head.jpg] BTW I realise the one I have shown is 'opposite hand' to the broken one but they are interchangeable at the same point of re-assembly that's going to be necessary.
-
Any chance you can detach the tuner from the bass and post a pic? I have odd spare ones from which I might be able to supply the 'winder bit' you refer to.

[quote name='Johnston' timestamp='1322230385' post='1448299'] Just a "swimming pool" route behind the plate surely? [/quote] More like a paddling pool actually

Done it three times - no problem, only the scratchplates to interchange.
