Hmm I can't comment really because I'm not nearly good enough to make a pronouncement on bridges. Suffice to say that I have a Gotoh 201 (?) that I fitted to one of my Jazz bass's and the only thing I noticed was that the action was high and I couldn't lower it enough so I'm back on a BBOT which works fine. All IMHO. Tom.

Bump -
No, more of a P bass neck really, beautiful to hold and play. But alas I have small hands or I'd keep it.

Sorry about that :blush: It's a fantastic bass, if you like Precision's, this is a treat!

Tuesday morning bump.

I have a lot of bass's and have just bought 2 more that I really want. My better half is getting a bit annoyed at the fact that she plays mostly 12 string and says she only needs one. So these 2 I have for sale are a kind of olive branch.

NEED A SALE NOW. Hi all, this is a new Fret King Perception bass. It is one that was left over from when I retired so it's not been played at all. Blurb: Fundamentally powerful and expressive, the Fret-King Perception 4 bass has the depth, definition and dynamic ability to provide the all-essential rock solid foundation a band needs. Featuring a two-piece centre-jointed imported American alder body, Canadian hard rock maple neck, and Indian rosewood fingerboard, the Perception 4 bass is built to provide profound performance. Featuring the classic ‘P/J’ pickup combination using Fret-King Alnico V vintage-voiced pickups, the Perception 4 bass rocks! Ice White – Normally £599.00 I'm looking for [b]£360[/b] + carriage, includes FK gigbag too. (There's one on evilbay for £429 ex-display so this is a bargain!)

Sorry dude

Sold to me!! 3rd bass I've bought off Iain dunno what's going on. He buys a bass I really like, keeps it for 6 months and I end up with it. Happy man!

I was forced to withdraw mine from sale, Munk made me feel awful, he was right though. -
Thanks for the input guys, this has turned into an interesting thread. I knew John Rackham who owned Wesley and have bought quite a few of his instruments over the years. His setup guy is Annie Lennox's bass player apparently, and he does a hell of a job. They do a Monarch natural bass for about £90 and there's nothing to touch it for the money, it's great! Heard of Johnny Brook but not had one..yet

Crikey that's nice I assume it comes out of the same factory as all the other fakers? Is that the name "Anniversary" ? Cheers for the heads up

I know what you're saying and there is a lot of good cheap stuff out there, I just wondered if anyone had experience of them and you answered my question, very emphatically

On sale here: [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Tokai-RG4001-Rickenbacker-Style-Bass-Guitar-D-Fireglo_W0QQitemZ400095826337QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV?hash=item5d2791d1a1"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Tokai-RG4001-Rickenb...=item5d2791d1a1[/url] Seriously considering one of these because my divorce will be very painful if I buy a real one. Appreciate any feedback from anyone who has/had one. /discuss Thanks, Tom.

That bad eh? I suppose it must be for that price. I once bought a couple of his strat copies and they were really bad too. Got a refund to be fair. Thanks for reminding me.
-
Anyone ever bought one of these for a project? No brainer for 49 quid isn't it? or £61 delivered [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/White-Bass-Guitar-new-with-bag-strap-and-lead_W0QQitemZ400096183984QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV?hash=item5d279746b0"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/White-Bass-Guitar-ne...=item5d279746b0[/url] His guitars are junk usually but a P copy?

Andy bought my Stingray. What a gentleman! Paid very quickly, great communication. Deal with confidence, a credit to the forums. Thanks again. Tom.

I can recommend Nigel Stockbridge in Richmond, North Yorks. [url="http://www.nigelsguitarworkshop.co.uk/"]http://www.nigelsguitarworkshop.co.uk/[/url] I've had a lot of work done over the years though not on bass's. He can repair or set up anything, very clever man who deals with a lot of famous people. Also Steve Suggitt. Lives in West Ayton near Scarborough is another luthier I have used. He builds all kinds of guitars and does repairs and setups. Very talented man. [url="http://www.chapelguitars.com/"]http://www.chapelguitars.com/[/url] And finally, Martin Dixon [url="http://web.ukonline.co.uk/mdguitars/"]http://web.ukonline.co.uk/mdguitars/[/url] Can do anything. I've seen bass's that he's made and they are simply stunning! He's in Otley near Leeds. Hope that helps. Tom.
