    Phew

    Thanks so much @Manton Customs, I'll take. a look ASAP Assuming I can get the old nout out OK does anyone know whether I'm going to need to file down a standard Jazz nut or whether shorter nuts for bound instruments available, haven't found any yet?
  3. Beedster
    Agreed @3below, might be nothing but don't want to pull that nut out only for find half the board comes with it 👍
  4. Beedster
    Many thanks @3below, looks like either a long and tortuous process or a pro repair! Annoyingly it still plays fine, at least with heavy flats, as there's just enough of the groove left, but I suspect one these things start to go further degradation is never far away
  5. Beedster
    Thanks @AKA, I'll check postage tomorrow and drop you a PM once done 👍

    The original FS thread for the body is here, posting because it has some background on the body plus to my mind the photos are a better representation of the colour of the bass 👍 And no the Status graphite neck is not for sale before you ask
  7. Beedster
    Looks like the nut might need a pro repair so I'll put this on hold pending that 👍

    I write in F or Bb, occasionally G and C, but never A or E
  9. Beedster
    Right, decision made, these are going on my 4/4 👍

    A small piece has chipped off the treble side of my Jazz Bass neck (might be wrong but it looks to me like it might have happened befpre as there are hints of what looks like glue on the binding?). I usually install and set up nuts on my basses as I like my action a certain way, especially on fretless. I've not done it on a bound neck before however, anything I need to know re either removing the existing nut or installing the new one? All help gratefully received. Chris
  11. Beedster
    It is and I am 👍
  12. Beedster
    You may have notice that the nut is broken - I hadn't but it's just been pointed out and although the bass seems to play fine anyway, it's not a problem I'd pass on to a new owner, so I'll need to check out the options on repair. Usually I'd do this myself but the binding makes it more of a problem. I'll update

    Weight is 4.9kgs give or take (bathroom scales) 👍
  14. Beedster
    I suspect that unless these sell today they're going to go on my 4/4 tomorrow, I'm too happy with the strings on my Pfreschtzner to start messing about with that 👍
  15. Beedster
    I've had a lot of questions re this and will be taking some measurements, removing a few covers/components etc later this afternoon 👍

    Greg, thanks so much for the above mate. Having badgered you so long to sell it to me it goes without saying I feel a bit cheeky selling it so soon, but so is the gear roundabout! Hope all's well, hope our paths cross again soon 👍
  17. Beedster
    Hi Rod, it is 👍
  18. Beedster
    It’s not light, I’ll get a precise weight tomorrow 👍

    IIRC the body cost me more than you're asking for the whole bass Andy That's a very very very competitive price. I was the same with the PUPs, used the P-PUP soloed most of the time, but the back PUP really added something, there were definitely a couple of sweet spots 👍
  20. Beedster
    Just to clarify, the body is that of an Enfield Fusion/Avenger built by Sims Custom Shop https://www.sims.guitars/enfieldguitars as opposed to a custom body with Sims Quad PUPs installed. In short the quality of the body, the routes, the circuits etc is as you'd expect given Martin's reputation for high quality work. Further info on this model (which was rebranded from Fusion to Avenger but like all Enfield basses is now discontinued) can be found here https://www.sims.guitars/enfield-guitars/avenger

    I'll check when home Andy but I assume yes (sadly) as is the case with my other Enfield 👍
  22. Beedster
    Hey mate, thanks for the post. I think we had a chat about these necks (and this bass) a while back, and yes, I'm very very glad I persisted with the Enfield, and especially that I held out for the neck that I knew would transform it; I tried a Status fretted Jazz neck on it but both the frets and the width/size didn't work for me. Something that really surprised me about the neck is that I am far more in tune, no doubt as the result of the virtuous acoustic cycle et up by small changes in how it feels to play resulting in small changes in the clarity of the note resulting in same change in my confidence in hitting the note. The Badass and J-Retro both added something incremental, the neck is. a step change. I've made a lot f bad decisions around music gear over the years, this appears to be the good decision that makes up for them all 👍

    Hi @Paul C it's weighing in at a relatively delicate 3.7kgs albeit on bathrooms scales 👍
  24. Beedster
    Indeed, thanks for the correction @LeftyJ 👍

    J-Retro controls are as above. The two switches above the control plate are the coil selectors for each PUP switching essentially between Jazz Bass (2 s single coil), Precision (2 x split coil) and Stingray (2 x humbucker) and any combination of those front and back PUPs. The Badass, J-Retro and graphite neck add a little audio emphasis to the PUP selection.
