  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. Can't beat the original. 😎
  6. Doesn't look right to me without dot inlays. What pickups are in that bad boy?
  7. Use a pan you don't cook with!!!!!
  8. An absolute legend. 🎂
  9. Pino would be proud. Lovely looking bass. 👍
  10. If I've learnt one thing on BC, it's that peoples interpretation of adjectives like "smooth", "warm", "dark" etc vary hugely!
  11. ParcelForce insurance ranges from £100 - £200. So maximum is £200. Still not great, but workable.
  12. Same here, saw it, liked it, then realised it's active - I'm a passive guy. 😆
  13. Think the OP has the action far too low.
  14. 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. 😉
  15. That would be the wrong section, it's in the right place here as it's a technical question!
  16. @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.
  17. 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. 👍
  18. Depends on your technique. Lol
  19. It's your playlist, it doesn't matter what we think. If you don't like them that's your prerogative.
  20. Agree or not about what? 🤔
  21. More output and aggressive sounding.
