    Have you compared the Wilkos to the SD SPB-1 pickup? I don't REALLY want to buy another if the wilko is similar.

    [quote name='UglyDog' timestamp='1393501994' post='2381033'] oh god why did you have to go posting these pics? why did you have to say it's good? it'd make the perfect testbed for a few non-invasive mods too... like the very nice Schaller JBX pups I've got hanging around that are just begging to be chucked into a bass... like the various homebrewed eq types ive been experimenting with... please, [i]please[/i] tell me it's actually a terrible bass and that i shouldnt bother getting one... please, somebody talk me out of it [/quote] Ok it's an absolute dog

    Hi, yes! just. Another perfectly finished HB. The only thing wrong is that the pickup wobbles a bit from side to side but it's getting changed anyway. Tuners don't seem as positive as the Jazz but that may be me anyway. It's also a bit lighter than the Jazz so that's good for me. Neck has some posh figuring too, the whole thing feels great. the Wilko pickup is as loud and clear as the Squier 50s that I bought at the same time, quite articulate though the very bottom end is not quite as thumpy as I would personally like. All subjective and easy for me to fix with an SD that I have. Action was very low out of the box and required minimal tweaking for me. *Edit the tuners are fine now the strings (D Addarios btw) are settled. So for 80 quid it's a no brainer I recommend this bass, super value for money. You could part it out and make money on it

    Here for sale is my quite rare ATK 300. I bought it recently from Mark at C&C. This bass is in superb condition, the paintwork is deep and lustrous and lights up the room. The neck has lovely figuring too. Big sound from that 3 coil pickup, low action and a great bass to play. This was imported from the USA at some cost as this colour was not available over here. On the back there are a couple of tiny scuffs that I can't even photograph. There is no case or bag with this but I have some proper boxes to sent it in. I'm only selling this because I've gotten into Squiers & Harley Bentons am am having fun playing about with them. Standard straplocks will be back on. £299 Pics: [url="http://s185.photobucket.com/user/Peasmold/media/IMG_9713_zps35670141.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s185.photobucket.com/user/Peasmold/media/IMG_9714_zps9d263c4e.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s185.photobucket.com/user/Peasmold/media/IMG_9715_zps5e1384f0.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s185.photobucket.com/user/Peasmold/media/IMG_9716_zps85ac43a9.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s185.photobucket.com/user/Peasmold/media/IMG_9717_zpse2b1e44a.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s185.photobucket.com/user/Peasmold/media/IMG_9718_zps2a03cb4a.jpg.html"][/url] Thanks for looking.

    Yes if you drill the holes for them.
  8. tom1946
    Surprised it's still here, It's a great neck.
  9. tom1946
    Does anyone use a string winder? if so which?
  10. tom1946
    Weird this. I've just sold my expensive USA Jazz because I've bought 2 new Squiers, a 50's tele in natural & maple and a VM amber precision. Both superb instruments and for what I play (church) and my level of incompetence they are more than adequate. Also bought the £100 HB Jazz My Gas is fulfilled unless.......... That said I have an SCPB-2 in my box.......
  11. tom1946
    Totally agree with the above, never seen quality like this anywhere else.
  12. tom1946
    Wow, bargin! I wish I needed one
  13. tom1946
    I think that's great, well done! Since I've retired I have done a lot of things that were 'beyond me' and like you I found that with a bit of determination most things can be done. I'm currently making brackets to fit gas struts to my MX5's boot lid as it won't stay up.

    Have a quick look at Harley Benton on Thomann, they have a lovely looking neck thru. this: http://www.thomann.de/gb/harley_benton_hbz2004.htm

    I've had loads since I started playing about 5 years ago and last year decided I like a Precision best. My small hands aren't too fussy about one but I like the simplicity of 1 volume and 1 tone. at 67 anything that makes life simple is worth it. Plus the thump is very addictive! My 'best bass' at the moment is a new MIM P, but I rtecently bought a new VM amber/maple jobbie and that's great too. I've just ordered a CV 50's to experiment with. Also who can resist the HB Jazz (see basses) ?? Awesome bit of kit. Plus their 50's P bass is back it stock........ It's fun without breaking the bank plus it gives me something to do now I'm retired.

    PM'd, I'll have the scpb-2 please.

    Another great, faultless deal with Karl. Lucky sod now has my USA Jazz. Great comms and we had a good laugh as usual. Top banana, stay well Karl and thanks again. You're a true gent of the burnt toast brigade.

    I've had a G&L tribute and stupidly sold it, never seen a used one since, I'd jump on it if one came up. I even bought a new maple neck/board in case a body came along they are amazing for the money. I'm still reeling at how good my HB Jazz is, it's the best bass I've ever had for out of the box string balance etc'.
  21. tom1946
    Aren't the pickguards nice? That P looks wonderful to me, If it had a maple board I'd have one here as well.
  22. tom1946
    Please don't reduce this any more, I'm only human
  23. tom1946
    Well done Chris, so, who's the bloke in your avi?
  24. tom1946
    Thanks for the excellent review burrito, I liked the idea of this bass, it's just a bit different isn't it? I know I'm shallow but I hate that chopped off 'skirt' pickguard, to me it ruins the look. Just my opinion tho'
  25. tom1946
    hahaha
