Dear all Update - Hipshot BT7 arrived and fitted today, all good after v light 4 locating screw hole adjustment in headstock but nothing major Thanks for all your help, hope this is useful to someone!

Thanks Graham sorry for the delayed reply I have been away so unable to check here; thanks for your kind offer I am currently away so not able to check but will get back to you if I get stuck! with best wishes

Ok 👍🏻

Thanks all, I’ll email them. I’m not sure if the fender one is the right one even though it feels like it should be! best wishes

Ok thanks, noted!

so, hot on the heels on the other thread around Tbirds, I was just about to ask a similar question... Does anyone know if it is possible to put a Hipshot drop tuner / extender onto the HB 75MN Jazz neck that I have on my seriously modded HB PB 20 bass, and if so which one? I emailed Thomann and they wouldn't commit! Based on this Harley Benton Parts JBass Tuners Set Chrome – Thomann (Shaft Ø: 13.9mm Impact sleeve / bushing for the head plate requires bore Ø 18.3 mm) I think that it might be these Hipshot H20800C BT8 D-Tuner CR – (Axle diameter: 13.86 mm) or Hipshot H 21200 C BT 12 D Tuner CR – (Axle diameter: 13.86 mm) or even (prob not) a BT-7D but would appreciate any advice please if possible Many thanks for your collective wisdom / experience, and yes I know that the tuner is worth so much relative to the bass but it also has SD pickups and a new bridge too, so may as well go for it 🙂

Bought a Jazz and other things from them in the past, all good for me

it looks lovely - how did you finish the body?

currently lusting for a T40 or a blacktop jazz but don't need (I am told) either, pending that Euromillions win..........

Yes he was great and the sound / mix was excellent …. As ever they were tight and the work rate was epic!

Thanks both that's very kind and really helpful Best wishes

Dear All Just wondered if you can help, no luck on the general internet.... We are excited to be going to see Pretenders for the n th time in many years later this week, and i was looking on YouTube and saw a video of a recent UK gig where Nick Wilkinson is playing what looks a bit like a blacktop fender except it's red with a black plate and has four knobs and I think two switches . Just wondered if any of you experts knew what it was please? I don't think that the vids are necessarily supposed to be there given copyright etc so I am not linking here Thanks v much 🙂

agreed - love mine 🙂

Start with a pb20, then add some quarter pounders, perhaps a high mass bridge and/or new tuners when one fails, or a second hand HB jazz neck?

this caught my eye a while ago.... Spear E-Bass FLEXTOOL Jamaika Green - Gitarre-bestellen.de

.. are we allowed to share this thread with "management".... as a public service of course?

Hi Neil good luck, should be great please let me know if/when you don’t need that jazz neck 😎

There's a whole load of 2 Tone and Specials on before this, thanks for the heads up

.. and courtesy of https://www.basschat.co.uk/tags/hooky_lowdown/, JB-75 neck fitted, v easy to do - screws lined up perfectly 😎

Likewise just had excellent experience with HB Jazz bass neck, good comms, fast and packaged very very well. Thanks v much 👍

I had to change the tuners on my PB-20 when I broke one..... but otherwise good, although my search for an HB Jazz neck as a replacement (without buying the whole kit) seems fruitless, but that's hardly a massive complaint! and EarlPilanz (eBay, Glasgow) makes HB guards to order

Ooo didn’t know about the discount-is there a code or how does it work?

👍

Nope… only stickers and packaging 😟. did you get the talent/noise t shirt?

Likewise will see if I got one at weekend….. massive FOMO even though don’t know what I would do with it!
