I’m looking for a book which explains setting up a bass. YouTube is ok to an extent but I’m really looking for a guide that I can consult whilst going through the process.

So sad to learn that Steve Cropper has died. A great loss.

Yeah, it’s a cracking bass. Alan is a great builder. You’re right about the purgatory finish. 👍

I recently got a plate made for my Jazz bass by tiny tone. They can copy an existing plate if you send it to them or they may have a template of your Warwick bass. The plates are handmade and a great fit. Their details are: phone: 07522 500673 website: tinytone.co.uk

‘Lovely Day’ by Bill Withers. It’s on the set list for an upcoming charity gig.

Well put. My thoughts exactly.👍

As promised, photos of my new graft 4 J type which was delivered today from Alan. It’s a beauty!

When I stayed in Glasgow I was often in Sound Control. It was a good store with friendly and helpful staff. Good deals could be made with everybody happy. I miss those days.

Will do.👍

I’ve just come across this thread and so am happy to add my 2013 Graft. It’s a marvellous bass and has prompted me to get another bass from Alan. I’m expecting a new Graft 4 J type to be delivered this coming week. I’ll post pics when it’s here.

It is a shame that the Aberdeen store has closed as the only other guitar store only stocks a limited number of used instruments although they do have a very good repair and set up service. I would also have to say that Kenny’s in Aberdeen had a very poor selection of basses. They more or less catered for those who play six strings. There were several times the store just didn’t have what I was looking for, so it’s not a great surprise I’m afraid.

Bought a pedal from Aidan. He is a thorough gentleman and a credit to the Basschat community. Many thanks!

I bought the bass from Vintage & Rare. They advertised it as a ‘94. When I got the info on the bass from Musicman it stated that it began life as a fretted bass. Obviously someone had swapped the neck. I contacted V&R and they offered to take the bass back. I said I loved the bass just as it was and I was just letting them know what I had found out. They very graciously gave me a healthy amount of refund. I was a happy camper!

I used to own the Fretless Ray. It was a nice bass.
