  1. ^ I tried something similar with a wood TRC...
  2. @Paolo85... Great, Thanks for the info...
  3. P Pup and loom removed from a Squier Affinity P, made in Indonesia Sept '04... Are these std jobbies? Just look a little different being full potted instead of loose cover, and with the pole pieces extending between to strips of magnet rather than 1 piece magnet across the bottom of flush pole ends. Dismantled the Bass before giving em a go, as the bass only had 2 strings, and i had a Kent Armstrong PBV waiting. Any thoughts?
  4. Couple of issues to sort... The Kent Armstrong pickups (i got a deal on when doing the Ibby Passive P, which got Maida Vale Low Rider Alnico IV...) are Alnico, hence no magnet on the bottom and the sponge blocks i've got are two thin to hold the bobbin in the cover... Need thicker foam.
  5. Stripped the Pickup and electrics out... New loom time with a Kent Armstrong Hot Vintage Alnico Pickup to go in, Alpha pot for Vol an Artec QTP Passive Tone Switch and a Pure Tone Multi-Contact jack socket and some old school cloth covered wire...
  6. I'd been 'Following Form' on Facebook Market Place... Time Rich but Money Poor i set of on a 60 mile nearly 4 hour round trip to Borehamwood... Could of done it in half-ish the time, at double the distance, M25, M1... But that would of cost over 4x as much plus the bridge toll in the car, so it was the 'lil 125 scoot 15 miles in to Central London, then 15 miles out the other side... and back. Returned with a neglected Squier P, Affinity Indonesia '04, In Black, with a few dents, dinks and donks, 2 strings, and a manky rosewood fretboard... All apart... Fretboard de-gunk with Isoprop and 0000 wire wool, then a lemon oiling... Frets got a 0000 wire wool-ing, followed by Dremel and Auto-sol polish... Back of the neck got a sanding with 3 grades of Halfords Sanding Sponge to remove the lacquer, headstock sanded... Neck bees-waxed, Cheeky Decal and a couple of coats of lacquer... Tuners and Bridge dismantled cleaned and back together.
  7. Just lost my coffee... class
  8. Turn Me On - The Tubes
  9. It'll look like a mix of EUB and an Ikea Poang Chair
  10. Mini tele plate... Maybe in wood to match the fretboard, Rosewood? I likes No Plate n Rear Route. Here is my Custom Jazz Body...
  11. Ladies Night In Buffalo - Dave Lee Roth (Vai & Sheehan)
  12. If the Hex is rounded... you can try a Torx (Star Shape) driver...
  13. I could not live with that headstock...
  14. #1... I'd see about getting them PAT tested if ya thinking of using them.
  15. @Richard R... we've told you about those 'electric bass banjo' ideas of yours before... but if you must!
  16. Stagg SG Bass... £65 https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/313621124324252/?ref=facebook_story_share Cheeky offer £50 offer? Looks a fun little short scale fixer/cleaner-upper... Too far for me.
  17. Post a pic with the tele plate...
  18. ^ Behringer BDI21?
  19. Micro... Joyo Irontune (Mute) > Joyo Orange Juice Amp Sim Needs one of those flat patch leads...
  20. Mini... Joyo 'Tank' Tuner (Mute) > Behringer 'Mid Mod' BDI21
  21. Sort the D n G stringing to the tuners out, there's a good chap... Maybe a Ibanez GSR neck? about the £50 mark on the bay. Scarf joint looks clean, I recon a good gluein' by someone who knows what they are doin'... good to rescue a meaningful bass. I'm sure @Andyjr1515 and the like can offer some sound advice on how to go about it...
  22. Snortin' Whiskey Drinking Cocaine - Pat Travers... yeah i know i've posted it before, but it really is a decent tune...
