[quote name='tonyxtiger' timestamp='1407175539' post='2518087'] I also think flea is awful but I'm ready for lots of people to correct me on that one. [/quote] Nope, totally with you there! [quote name='Number6' timestamp='1407182621' post='2518183'] What about some Hawkwind or Marillion? (Spoken in the voice of Neal from the Young Ones) [/quote] So Lemmy's a dame? That explains a great deal....... NB: am I the only one to have never heard of the Pixies?

[quote name='umcoo' timestamp='1406990445' post='2516487'] They come and go on ebay, but they have an actual web-shop too. http://www.customworldguitarparts.com/default/gitaar-halzen/jazz-bass-maple-neck-20-frets-pearl-block-inlay-with-binding.html The shop seems slightly cheaper than ebay too [/quote] That's the one, cheers! I did wonder whether you could put a bullet truss rod adjuster on those: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TRUSSROD-NUT-BULLET-CHROME-FOR-FENDER-GUITARS-/351118760252?pt=UK_Guitar_Accessories&hash=item51c04f193c as it looks plain wrong like that

[quote name='umcoo' timestamp='1406931497' post='2516112'] Custom world guitar parts do one. Theyre in the Netherlands. Never seen one, but pictures look good [/quote] I was looking for exactly the same thing for my build last month, and nearly pulled the trigger on one of these on their eBay listing - they seem not to be listing at the moment. Looked excellent, other than non-authentically having a separate board. Worked out around £100 incl shipping, so comparable to Mighty Mite (who only do dot markers?) If you could live with rosewood these look good value: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/20-Fret-Jazz-J-Bass-Guitar-Neck-Vintage-Maple-Rosewood-with-Skunk-Stripe-/261511242840?pt=UK_Collectables_Vintage_RL&hash=item3ce348e458 I ended up shelling out a fair bit more for a genuine '78 Fender neck from the States in maple / pearl blocks - still worked out cheaper than a new '75 RI neck from Stratosphere (going on a AVRI '75 body)

For cool factor: Gaye Advert

Others come and go, but I still constantly listen to; Simple Minds - New Gold Dream Magazine - Secondhand Daylight Joy Division - Heart & Soul Japan - Quiet life Siouxsie &the Banshees - Once / Twice upon a time Penetration - Moving Targets Cat Stevens - Tea for the Tillerman Brian Eno & David Byrne - My life in the bush of ghosts Mark Knopfler -Cal (soundtrack) Kate Bush - The kick inside The Jam - All mod cons / Setting Sons Smiths - Best 1& 2 Pink Floyd - Wish you were here

Should have kept - 1980's Graham Crook custom fretless 4 - rather like a neck-thru Wal. Lovely, unique, sold for a pittance Well shot of - Columbus Jazz copy (2nd bass), a dog even by cheap plywood-bodied bass standards. I fitted a '60's Gibson mudbucker by the neck which must have increased its value by several factors of magnitude, had I but known. Swapped for a bike, which I crashed
