    Thanks @3below, I was tempted to do the notch approach but as you say, most bound necks appear to be done the way I eventually decided on. I might try another with a notch though, I suspect it'll look better and be stronger 👍

    Luckily it was quite an easy fix, the process of identifying a rattle in one of these is potentially quite a long one 👍

    With WH I always heard the technique, Aretha on the other hand was all soul to my ear 👍

    Yep, so many great voices, Janis Joplin and Grace Slick are two of mine. Too much of the WH thing for me is technical where emotion is what does the job

    Well, i've been on here about 15 years, have bought and sold a few (understatement) basses, and was both interested in potentially buying yours and (I thought) trying to help you sell it when I first commented about the condition of the board which is critical with these basses (a quality refin on a worn maple board can be north of £300) If you list a bass well - that is right information and right price - it will usually sell quite quickly here. You've got a nice bass there but it's a niche instrument and therefore probably requires a little more patience with enquiries and perhaps some flexibility on price. As ever, you're the seller, how you do things is your prerogative, but if you want to sell it there are some traditions on this forum that will help. Sorry to hear about your stress, hope that resolves

    On thing that's clear from installing this nut is that the binding means that the distance between the two outside slots (E and G) are very close to their respective ends of the nut, which means that there must be a far greater chance of a brake simply because there is only around 50% of outside edges of the original nut remaining. I can't help thinking that it makes more sense for the binding to be cut away to allow a full size nut to be installed? I guess the other option would be a custom nut with slots slightly closer to the midline but that could really cramp up the available space, or possibly a nut that sits inside of the binding while also sitting on top of it at the edges (i.e., it would need essentially a small square cut out of the bottom at each end, which would be VERY fiddly to do)?

    Ouch 😆 I didn’t want to buy your bass, it happens, the fact a member asks question doesn’t commit them to buying or we’d all be in a lot of trouble! I was interested in the maple FL neck but wasn’t the right fit for the body in question, and I didn’t want the bass as it is. Also you came across as rude previously which put me off, as you have again. Good luck 🤞

    I’d strongly suggest starting a new FS thread as you can’t edit the price in the listing heading 👍

    So it didn’t sell at £450 so the price has been increased? Good luck mate 👍

    I guess with 204 screws there's no need for glue (BTW 204 is only the body, there's another 30 or so in the headstock). As I understand it it has pretty much conventional internal anatomy plus, as you've suggested, one or more modifications necessary to maintain structural integrity. Luckily I found the culprit pretty early (about 10 screws in), it was one of the small screws near the treble side foot of the bridge, now sorted 👍

    Nut fixed, I might take the E down a tint bit and the A down even less, and round off the edges a little, but otherwise it plays very nicely, in cat slightly better than before 👍
  13. Beedster
    Needs a bit of cosmetic finishing around the edges but all done in terms of function. If anything action is improved over previous nut. Thanks for the advice guys 👍

    So since fixing the sound-post, a rattle has developed. Sounds a lot like a loose screw. There's 204 of them in total. Could be a long afternoon 🤔

    Strong possibility mate, drop me a PM if you’d like to talk 👍

    That price is giving it away Dunc 🤔
  21. Beedster
    I agree and I agree 👍
  22. Beedster
    Not sure, common sense says sell it, emotion says keep it. You know how it is 🤔
  23. Beedster
    It rests against a small block at each end so was quite simple, there is a slight angle on the top surface rising away from the f-hole so I made sure that it was aligned correctly to that before I started to nudge it fully upright 👍
  24. Beedster
    Fair point mate, apologies 👍
  25. Beedster
    ^ That 👍
