    [quote name='Bloodaxe' post='711844' date='Jan 13 2010, 07:56 PM']Speakons also make it nigh-on impossible to confuse a speaker lead with a patch lead. My only (minor) gripe is that the bodies snap together & the internal connections are secured by screws - I'd prefer it if they were solder connections.[/quote] I sorta like that. I'm far more likely to have a screwdriver at a gig than a soldering iron. And I've had a few gigs where I wished all the connectors / cables where speakons and fixable with a screwdriver.

    [quote name='ashevans09' post='712049' date='Jan 13 2010, 10:51 PM']dimensions? EDIT : Found them. I know this is really picky, but is there anything you could compare it with to give me a sense of size? Like "knee hight" or the like[/quote] Certainly not knee height - I'd say it's more like "bar" height to be honest. Waist high at least, and I'm a big lad. It *just* fits into my polo boot. you have to take out the parcel shelf and lower it in. It fits lying on it's side. Snug. If you look on the photo you can see the 8" speaker in the top right of the grillcloth. - There's a 15" speaker below that. It's over 3 foot tall. So unless you're about 10 foot, it's well over knee height.

    [quote name='umcoo' post='711637' date='Jan 13 2010, 05:43 PM']Hey folks, thinking of putting a Schaller 3d bridge on my Jazz, where I currently have a standard bridge with the 5 screws. Is this an easy enough task for a luthier worth his salt?[/quote] On a sliding scale between very, very easy and very, very hard I'd put it down as very easy. A luthier not worth his salt would no doubt put it on backwards or upside down or on the back or something.

    [quote name='Beedster' post='711570' date='Jan 13 2010, 04:54 PM']Interesting, thanks John. Have you ever used one (or has anyone else)? Chris[/quote] I've not. But the principle sounds good to me...

    Just a thought... Something like this might help? [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ATTENUATOR-FOR-AMPEG-SOLDANO-TRAYNOR-VOX-GUITAR-AMP_W0QQitemZ160391472982QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item255813a756"]"volume box"[/url] At least until you see a scout come up 2nd hand.

    [quote name='Thornybank' post='709510' date='Jan 11 2010, 10:28 PM']The mounting screws intrigue... ...Andy67?[/quote] On the heel? before I bought this neck it was fitted to a P Bass Elite. It seems the Elites have slightly different screw positions. The holes were drilled out, hardwood dowling glued in and the holes redrilled. Since then it's fitted fine on two MIM P basses and an MIJ Jazz.

    It's also got side handles so lifting it in and out of a boot is dead easy.

    [quote name='allighatt0r' post='709263' date='Jan 11 2010, 08:02 PM']Will get my tape measure out and see if fits in the boot of my car. [/quote] It fits nice in the back of my Polo!

    [quote name='Happy Jack' post='703268' date='Jan 6 2010, 06:59 PM']How about if four of us take one tuner each?[/quote] That would be the devils work...
  18. bigjohn
    Bump. I don't want to sell the neck and the tuners individually really - ie don't ask "how much for the tuners?"! I will split the neck and the tuners if 2 people want to work it out between themselves ie - split the £80 between them. Cheers John

    [quote name='leemarc1970' post='704691' date='Jan 7 2010, 08:05 PM']Big John - might be interested, but I seem to have found the same bridge on the bass parts direct website for about the same money, brand new (?)[/quote] Hiya, £38 quid odd isn't £30! Could maybe go a little lower, mine is basically brand new as well, I've never fitted it so the bridge itself is new, I only used the saddles and not for very long really. There's not a mark on them.

    [quote name='Foxx' post='705640' date='Jan 8 2010, 03:59 PM']I presume these pick ups are the same in the 57 reissues as well? Whats the volume like from them(assuming they've been used in a bass that is ), reason being i have a mex 50s reissue and although the sound is good, its output is a bit quiet now with roto 77s on, and this set up would make a good replacement i think.[/quote] They were fitted in a mexican P bass and the output was bigger than the stock mexi... As always though it's a bit of suck it and see innit. The good thing is it's all wired up so you could see if it made any difference quite easily and put it back stock if you wanted. I would be selling it to be honest, but I've got bills to pay and a new amp to buy.
