    Just bought an Apple Mac from Angus, very good comms, really well packed and arrived right when he said it would. Perfect deal and a true gent of the Basschat manor. I too have a fetish for old british bikes, I owned a few when they weren't old...

  18. tom1946
    Thanks Jose, have a great time yourselves too. Never thought anyone would still own a SR, fretless at that, well done mate.

    Yes, let me know how they are Davie. It was me who started the Sue Ryder thing, I bought quite a few of them and passed them around here for cost. The G4M's are a bargain tho' Have a great Christmas everyone. I hope God's peace will touch you all.

    I like G4M, the service is unbeatable in my experience. I've never had a problem, if you are polite and friendly they go out of their way to help you. I've bought loads of stuff over the years and sent some of it back for free. Unlike guitar guitar, I wouldn't go there again.

    Can you say where you got the jazz body from? I only have precisions and I'd like to make a jazz. cheers.

    Ok guys I'll tell you what I did. I discovered by accident that Gear4music do what is called the LA bass for about 90 quid, it comes with a rosewood neck which I hate but I bought one anyway to see how bad it was. Imagine my surprise when it arrived and it was as light as a feather! When I checked the spec' the bodies are made of Paulownia wood which is very light so I wondered if they had a maple neck that was also 61mm. They had so I bought one to try out and it fitted! very tight but some very light sanding made it fit spot on. There was a little neck dive, nothing much so I bought some wilkinson schaller stylee tuners which fixed it. I bought a loom from John (KiOgon) and a pickup of choice to finish it and it's brilliant. Issues with doing this job. The first one I did the neck wasn't exactly straight and the strings ran off a bit but it was easily fixed by using a Schaller 2000 bridge that has lateral adjustment so the strings could be lined up exactly. There are other cheaper ways to sort that though. The fret edges can be a bit sharp but that's easily filed and smoothed, also the maple necks are a bit paddle shaped, my friend Dave on here very kindly made me a headstock template so shaping it was just a jigsaw and a bit of sandpaper away. I'm very pleased with my cheap lightweight basses, my gas is now satisfied. HTH Tom. Oh the necks are only £35
