  1. You need to put a shim under the neck to compensate for a thicker bridge, then you'll be able to get a little lower action. I think you paid the high end for this bass, shops were selling them off for £150 brand new. Nonetheless, these are nice basses, if a little heavy in weight for my liking. 👍 A niggle I have with these are the ill fitting pickguard to the control plate. 🙈
  2. The Pigeon Detectives, if the song doesn't make you happy, the band name sure should. 😀
  3. Does anyone know any short scale flats which have no silks at the ball end?
  4. Am I missing something here. Folk are posting pics if their own basses, do they think their own P basses look better than any P they've EVER seen? I've owned some lovely looking P basses, but none compare to some I've seen on tinterweb! 🤔
  5. Doesn't look right to me without dot inlays. What pickups are in that bad boy?
  6. Use a pan you don't cook with!!!!!
  7. If I've learnt one thing on BC, it's that peoples interpretation of adjectives like "smooth", "warm", "dark" etc vary hugely!
  8. ParcelForce insurance ranges from £100 - £200. So maximum is £200. Still not great, but workable.
  9. Same here, saw it, liked it, then realised it's active - I'm a passive guy. 😆
  10. Think the OP has the action far too low.
  11. 8 times out of 10 a rattle is a loose tuner ear. Else it's a string loose in the nut slot, or very rarely a loose truss rod nut. But you already knew this as it's mentioned above. 😉
  12. That would be the wrong section, it's in the right place here as it's a technical question!
  13. @yorks5stringer is right. If you use the search function, there is still a thread explaining! An annual sub is £20, then you can sell as many items as you want, no additional fees.
  14. There's lots of schaller copies, they do come from China - not sure if you would want to order from there right now. If you want decent, lightweight and cheap, I'd look at tuner's by Wilkinson. 👍
  15. It's your playlist, it doesn't matter what we think. If you don't like them that's your prerogative.
  16. More output and aggressive sounding.
