The closest I can find to the MKIV & V caps are these: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Lexicon-Prime-Time-Replacement-slider-cap-white/274185459501?hash=item3fd6ba172d:g:XDIAAOSw7m9a~9js Although these have the stepped down section at the back, if you trim them back they are pretty much identical to the original Trace ones. The only issue you have is trying to match years of discolouration! Towards the end of last year I bought 2 MkV's (a 150 and 250) that are both currently still with my amp tech to sort. The 250 just in for a once over and the 150 because the preshape button doesn't actually do anything and the 'Graphic/Flat' slider won't slide all the way top to bottom. I could ask my amp tech to advise on a suitable replacement fan for the 250 while he has mine for reference?

A great song and well played. 👍

I managed to get mine from a UK tool company through eBay but they don't appear to be a registered user anymore. ☹️ The part code is MS91528-1P2S and they are made by a company called EHC. They have plenty of distributors but the minimum order costs can be prohibitive. The first part of the part code is the name of the range but it's the last 4 characters that actually denote the type of knob. They also do a skirted version which is suitable for taller shafts if the pots have been replaced. EDIT - Just to note, these have 2 set screws instead of the original 1. I couldn't find the 1 screw versions anywhere.

I used the volume and tone knobs from my R60 (that bass is a little more beaten up). The pointer knobs can still be bought new.

Yep, 1518 from the Mk V / Series 6 era I reckon.

That looks superb. Great work. 👍

Many thanks and thanks once again for the initial heads up on the bass being available. 👍

I see paying my subs as a worthy subscription to a great forum that, to be quite honest I would be lost without. The fact that paying the subscription allows me to sell items in the marketplace (of which I have sold many) is a bonus. BC is the only form of social media I partake in and it has been a great release/escape for me, particularly over the past couple of years. Keep up the good work guys 👍

Nice work, glad you got it sorted. I've only tried this method once and that was on the back of an oiled maple neck. Only a small dent, but as you've described quite a sharp one and annoyingly right where you'd feel it with your thumb when fretting. I used the corner of a damp teatowel and an iron and it worked a treat.

Just sat watching DG in Pompeii and have only just noticed that Guy is using a P in what appears to be the same colour as Betsy on Comfortably Numb. I’d be up for one of those!

I’ll get my coat........... ☹️ Does the fact that my name’s not actually Dave afford me any leniency?

Many thanks 👍. Rest assured, NBD photos will be issued.

Hopefully April/May 🤞

A Chris Wolstenholme sig in the standard woven graphite finish - but with blue wraparounds obviously. I absolutely love the finish on them and the pickup spacing appeals to me, as does the positioning of the jack on the side. I'll now get to understand your anguish waiting a few months for it to arrive. 😬

Yep, not just on the neck - on the top and back too!

I didn't join this years party as I knew that I'd fail pretty early on. However, although I have failed already (I've placed an order for something bright and shiny from Colchester) I am genuinely going to try to make that my one and only purchase this year. To me it's a strangely alien feeling, but I currently have absolutely no gas. 😧

Congratulations. Stunning condition

All his basses seem to be very overpriced. The trans gold one he's selling for example 😯

+1 here for Dunlop 65 Fretboard Lemon Oil on rosewood boards.

Whoever it is playing, it looks like a SB-R80 he’s using on this occasion instead of a SB-900. EDIT - Although it does appear to have an extra inlay at the end of the fingerboard so maybe a limited edition? Nice to see NH dragging an old Hofner Club 50 into the eighties too!
