  1. I really like the Mighty Mite stuff. I built a strat for my son with an MM body and neck. He now plays it more than his Fender deluxe strat. I am currently building a Precision for my other son. I am using a new MM neck (ebay £80) which is being fitted to a nice Squier body from 1979. On first investigation I don't foresee any problems in getting the two to fit pretty well. All the best with your build!
  2. [quote name='tauzero' post='429444' date='Mar 9 2009, 03:14 PM']Some people even like Fenders, for heaven's sake.[/quote] Yeah, countless professionals since the fifties to the present day.
  3. It doesn't matter what the title of the thread is. We so often get round to comparing basses and that's ok as long we always recognise that what one player thinks is a killer tone may not be what another thinks. Thank goodness there is a huge amount of choice out there to suit all tastes and pockets. IMHO there is no bass better than another. They are all different and if you find your 'baby' then well and good.
  4. Not quite sure what all that means Sean. The bridge was sold at 8.04 pm yesterday via personal message to Gary (garbev). Better luck next time eh? Now go clean up those six shooters!
  5. [quote name='sub-a-dub' post='425529' date='Mar 4 2009, 09:19 PM']Hi, I'll take it if you'll post to Ireland... Thanks, Sean[/quote] Sorry Sean the bridge has already gone.
  6. I would imagine that it is extremely difficult to get a 5 string M'man neck. I also think that it would look pretty weird stuck onto a SUB body. Every one to their own I suppose.
  7. I got this bridge from a fellow basschatter. I didn't realise it was a 203 bridge. I was really after a 201. I'm therefore passing it on for what I paid for it which was [b]£11[/b]. The bridge is a replacement for P/J basses. It is in excellent condition and comes with all fixing screws and allen key.
  8. I'm confused by your link as they don't seem to be the tuners you have for sale. Are these your tuners:- [url="http://www.guitarthings.co.uk/gotoh-gotoh-bass-tuners-open-gear-nickel-951-p.asp"]http://www.guitarthings.co.uk/gotoh-gotoh-...ickel-951-p.asp[/url]
  9. I've had both. For me there is absolutely no contest. Markbass every time!

    SOLD

    I would echo the various sentiments on here. I've had both. I still have the SUB and the Stingray's gone. There's a areason for that. Good luck with the sale. A great bass at a great price.
  11. I'm going to be ill if you don't stop posting these pictures.
  12. These photos should be issued with a defibrillator. Great work Andra!
  13. Very nice Andra. As usual I can't wait for the other pics. A classic guitar so tastefully shot by an expert. Perfect!
  14. [quote name='Hutton' post='411482' date='Feb 16 2009, 08:53 PM']Have a look here:- [url="http://www.mijfenders.com/frmBass.htm"]http://www.mijfenders.com/frmBass.htm[/url][/quote] Sorry to quote myself but these basses are 'not for export' instruments.
  15. Have a look here:- [url="http://www.mijfenders.com/frmBass.htm"]http://www.mijfenders.com/frmBass.htm[/url]
  16. Here's my SUB. Never to be parted with. It was my first bass and is a cracker!
  17. Here's mine. Don't have the Stingray anymore. Still got the Sub. It was better than than the Stingray!
  18. I think the 70s reissue you are referring to is a Jazz not a Precision.
  19. Come on now. This just can't be serious! [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250365580601&ssPageName=ADME:X:AAQ:GB:1123"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...E:X:AAQ:GB:1123[/url]
  20. I was over at Mark's today for my bass lesson and got to see this beautiful bass in the flesh. A very high quality instrument which would certainly make me consider an ACG. BTW the lessons are high quality as well!
  21. [quote name='budget bassist' post='394289' date='Jan 29 2009, 02:07 AM']why DID those old fenders have strap pegs on the back of the headstocks? I never got that...[/quote] I believe it was to help players who were making the transition from upright double basses to electric basses. They would attach the strap to the end pin and then onto the headstock instead of the pin on the top horn. The bass could then be played in an upright position. It obviously didn't catch on. Has anyone ever seen a picture of a player with an old Fender in an upright position?
