Tortoise?... C'mon... Black on that, surely.... Not Olly White or some sort of Jazz... Oh well... cultural differences!

@horrorshowbass Interesting... when you say the new big singles run passive are not a lot different sounding to the reverse split coil Mk1 Barts, Is that with Barts also run passive (after the pre failed) or as you remember em when the pre was working? If you tried the Mk1 Barts passive - did they sound the same as with the preamp but with the BMT set centered? And the Blend may effect the pickups different when passive. OE is a AC taper, so half and half when centered... I have swapped mine for a MN taper so both full when centered. Don't suppose you have one of the small knobs going spare? or are you hanging on to em in case you get a replacement pre?

Pic would help... Cocktail stick cut flush as packing... then use the same screw?

Hi Al... Stick ya gear in the boot... That doesnt mean 'hide ya Marj in ya shoe'... It's more 'stow ya bass in the trunk'..

Bloody Hell... another one! Its like WW2 all over again.. over here with ya Fancy Fenders, Gum, Hershey Bars... and i'm sure some of ya are wearing nylons!😀😀😀 Enjoy Basschat... and drive on the left! 😀

Hi Eko... 'All Good' here on basschat... Bad days are OK too, there are whole threads dedicated to em... Beware the DoI (Den of Iniquity)... i wandered in there a while back, strange goings ons... was lost for days... but then again, they do go on a bit!

Bloke in Scotland can make em using yours as a template... not cheap... have a search on here for Harley Benton Scratchplate... few have had em made for their P a likes... also lists on eBay...

After the above post on the Donnor Basement... this is now with the eldest and undergoing guitar use. I'm on the nice metal box of an EHX headphone amp... clean, simple and no gimmicks... or the Zoom B1 Four. Wireless would be great! but may end up costing more than the headphone amp or the zoom? And as you say lag may be an issue with playing versus just playback.

Nice... Black 'n Mapel... Pearly Blocks 'n Pearl Guard. Those black machine heads give the mapel a bit of lift and definition. black bridge would of been tooo much, and i likes a thumb rest. You're gonna get some fans... Take a look at the 'Black Bass' thread and search 'black and mapel' to see the love.

Howdy... Need Pics... dem da rules... mmm... Maybe Flats, but i get the No Tortoise...

I'll see your 'ZZ Top'... and raise you a 'Motorhead'...

'Prolly just go for a Harley Benton or a Squier...

£200 neck.. £100 pickup... Triggers Broom?

I meant Guitar Strap not Jock Strap... 😀

Jackson, owned by Fender... but this is very Ibanez pickups n electronics and neck nut width, and Court with the slight off set version of an Ibanez SR body and the nice modest headstock rather than going pointy. Some nice spec, carbon reinfirced thru neck, compound board - so Charvel Jackson... Nice suble colour, whats not to like for a modern?

mmm... Needs a Studded Strap

Bobo _08 : The Rocker... Fashions may change, but Style Remains... Looks great.

YH potentiometers... try google 1849b104 potentiometer pcb mounted and have a look at the images... https://www.alibaba.com/showroom/pcb-mount-potentiometers-4.html UK supplier may be more of an issue... try bourns for a similar same pin out / dimension?

Have a google... 'Acoustic Guitar, soldering iron, steaming, dent' If the wood fibers are compressed, you can steam em out - damp rag, and soldering iron or iron I had a dent in the fretboard, steamed it out a bit, not a fix but an improvement... Small area so i used a wet cotton bud on the dent, then applied the soldering iron tip to it... Keep wetting... keep steaming... keep looking

Cosmo Black... I likes it (not the light brushed satin that looks like ikea door knobs...)

29 Palms - Robert Plant (Had to google it...)

Depends on the Bass, Styling and Finish. Both of mine are black hardware on plain wood finish... But the Ibanez Cosmo Black, a sort of Smokey Silver, not quite gun metal, but rather than sparkly chrome is nice and a little understated. Gold will usually clash with the frets (so may look nice on a woody fretless) n strings...
