There are quite a few neck off pics and the pb50 doesnt look square heeled so i think it would be a yes... Swapping P for P... 'Only one way to find out... SWAP!' Whats annoying is some of the latter P50s have a hole under the scratchplate to help with the wire routing... meaning it cant be a 'scratchplate off'

Workbench build - ideal dimensions (depth and height)?
PaulThePlug replied to CookPassBabtridge's topic in Build Diaries
Get the over head cupboards as well if they are in the skip... with a strip lamp on the underside of the cabinets. I left the doors of as there is never enough room to open them... especially the bottom ones by your legs... 4 way trailed to below the worktop means you can plug things in without trailing leads on the worktop, leave them plugged and turn off the 4 way at the plug. -

PaulThePlug replied to CookPassBabtridge's topic in Build Diaries
Workbenches in my garage have always been X-kitchen Cabinets... so cabinet height 800-850 and 600-650 depth. Length 1400-1800 or what covers 2 cabinets or a large and a small with a bit oc stool / feet under room, or whatever the long bit of worktop i can find is... Just keep ya eyes open for someone local having a kitchen done in the new year... -

There was a post some time back about bridge positioning with a few pics and description of the bridge plate being mounted a little more forward... thus the saddles being a little further back, positioned more central. When was the Ashtray introduced? Maybe the bridge was moved forward a little to allow for the Ashtray mounting? But yes string guage choice, and neck relief and action preference may all effect the intonation and thus saddle position a little.

Honesly... I'd go for a Good Clean, Fretboard, Frets and Hardware all with some 0000 Wire Wool, A new set of budget strings, Olympia? And play it as it is... Any Do-ing is likely to cost more than an old Encore is worth... Put any monies towards something like a Harley Benton or Squier Affinity...

£150 from santa. How should I upgrade my bass?
PaulThePlug replied to Friskydingo's topic in Bass Guitars
Have a look in the FS... Pickups? Noisy? - Shield Paint Kit for a tenner... remember that Jazz Pups do hum a bit unless both on full. If ya wana change the tone try the FS section and make an offer on some older posts? Kiogon Loom VVT or VBT or Switching.. £30ish well spent and sometimes appear in the FS... What are the machine heads like? - Try a dab of vaseline on the worm drives and giving em a good turn can smooth em out...(and some pencil lead rubbed in the nut slot) before resigning the current tuners as no good! Bridge? - Maybe cosmetic... maybe more sustain? Gotoh or Badass to replace the BBOT... Scratchplate? - Just dont waste money on Tort? -
Honestly... check the effects n amp list... Pedal is handy for Vol... make sure you wont be missing something.. As mentioned i'm on the B1on for the Marshall SIM... and prefer the shape. You will need an older style USB lead for connecting to the Tonelib... Both are headphone amps with drum patterns... It also depends on whats about?... The add says £40 or offers, £40 posted? for a lot of fun!

Have a ganders on the Zoom Site... The X has the pedal. Different Amp Sims, I had a 4 and sold it for the earlier On for the Marshall Super Bass amp sim not on the 4. The 4 has a better user interface with the 4x knobs to adjust settings, rather than scrolling thru and 1 knob on the on... If you are a 'Set and Forget' for a lot of the patches might not be an issue On works only with the Tonelib software as another way for set up... 4 works with Tonelib and Zoom's GuitarLab. Download and check the manual and effects lists... see whats got what ya want and will the 4's interface help you use it more in the way you need? The X pedal can be handy for Vol and Wah... can be used on other paramaters, but not ALL as thec4 manual sort of aludes too, Home or Gig?

Ibanez SR1400 MLG Premium £500 *** SOLD ***

Couple of threads on here about inexpensive flats... Adagio or Olympia... i think they are the same strings in different boxes are great for the price. Got Adagio's on an electric and an acoustic bass... and just got some Olympia flats for Christmas for a 6 String Guitar, My P Bitsa and My J Bitsa... The nut is a little low on the J bitsa, and buzzes a little on the A and D with regular 45-100 Rounds, The slightly higher tension of the 45-100 Flats look to of cured the issue.

Thats my plan with my Epi LP Marshall MB30 Bass Amp using the 'Classic Channel'... or the Zoom B1on with the Marshall Superbass SIM and a hint of Tape Echo.
