[quote name='bigd1' post='301912' date='Oct 8 2008, 09:06 AM']bump[/quote] Great Guy to deal with and as the previous owner of this rig I can vouch for it. The cab IS a genuine Ashdown ABM 15 with a Celestion Neo fitted. I originally got this from the company that make Ashdown Cabs, (and Trace, Orange, HiWatt, Cornford etc.etc.), as it was left over from an order when Ashdown changed the design of the handles. It was put together by the same team and has a compression horn added. Check the price of the speaker on it's own and you will see what a deal this is. Serious trouser flapping bass from this set-up.

A Still Available Bump

As I only play 5 Strings these days this is the last 4 Stringer I want to part with, (the Jazz is a keeper). Absolutely immaculate Aria Pro Bass 101. Walnut finish, Maple Neck with Rosewood Fingerboard. Active with 3 band equaliser. Single Infinity soapbar pick-up. Cast bridge with thru body or top load stringing options. Never gigged. It is an absolute joy to play with one of the nicest necks I have come across.

[quote name='noelk27' post='292377' date='Sep 26 2008, 02:36 AM']but I get sceptical about set necks and through necks that have been repaired. Still contemplating.[/quote] I know what you mean. I sent Steve Robinson pics of the crack before I bought it. If he hadn't been happy that it was a clean failure of the original glue and thus a straightforward repair I would not have bought it originally. He has his reputation to consider and I didn't want to buy trouble. Just one of those things. An itch I wanted to scratch and I switched to Bass before I could scratch it

[quote name='noelk27' post='288003' date='Sep 20 2008, 02:35 PM']Schadenfreude[/quote] Now that was a Google job for a definition [i]"A malicious satisfaction obtained from the misfortunes of others"[/i] Suppose you are right. Previous owners daughter knock guitar off stand and cracks Scarf joint. I get it at a very reasonable price have it repaired and someone then gets it cheap due to MY misfortune of wanting to sell it at no profit. But not to the dealer who has one advertised at £345 at the moment........ Already told him where to go....

Another +1 for Interparcel, (or should I say DHL). Bought an Item off evilbay and the seller wanted £24 delivery with Royal Mail Parcels. Interparcel was £11.95, (with my 5% discount..), and it was here next day.

Some bits left over from a P-Bass Fecker project build. Chrome Bridge, (not a bad bridge and quite sturdy) P Bass Pick-Up, Vol and Tone pots and Jack socket all wired up and ready to go. All parts are brand new and removed from a "No-name" P-Bass. £12 for the lot posted.

[quote name='paul, the' post='283310' date='Sep 13 2008, 07:09 PM']That's interesting. Perhaps we are able to specify a preferred contractor (or whatever the correct word is) when ordering.[/quote] You can specify. You are given a number of options when booking.

[quote name='noelk27' post='287959' date='Sep 20 2008, 01:08 PM']Can you show the repair a little more clearly?[/quote] This is about as good as i can get. As you can see your face in the neck it is very difficult to get a good picture. The joint is slightly visible in some places but it was a clean crack, (ie a failure of the original glue). As it is an Acrylic finish, Steve did not want to risk touching the area up as it could have ruined the rest of the finish. Obviously it does not affect the playability at all.

[quote name='noelk27' post='287959' date='Sep 20 2008, 01:08 PM']I have to say I'm quite interested - I've been thinking about getting something hollow-body, 6-string (non bass). Can you show the repair a little more clearly?[/quote] Hi Noel, I will try and get a better pic of it. None that i have taken show it up very well, but then again it is a good repair.

I bought this about 3 years ago just before switching to bass. It came with a cracked scarf joint but Steve Robinson, (Manchester Guitartech), repaired it and did a beautiful set-up for me. He also pointed out it was a common occurrence but "will not happen again" after he fixed it. I have never really played it as I switched to Bass not long after the purchase. I have tried various forums and cannot get much info on it. It is undoubtedly post-Matsumoku and judging by the serial number was made in 1990. Twin Humbuckers, 2 Vol and 2 Tone controls and pick-up selector switch. All gold plated hardware and superb binding. It is in outstanding condition with one barely visible Buckle Rash mark on the rear. One of the bands I play in has a pro guitarist and I got him to "road test" it for me recently. He did this during the set break but was that impressed he kept it on for most of the second set and he normally plays a Les Paul. He couldn't believe it was a 20 year old guitar. It is an appreciating asset and I am selling it for what it cost me. It comes with a brand new fitted case. £195 There is another thread on the site about this guitar when I was trying to find some info about it, but I can't trace it unfortunately.

[quote name='thebeat' post='287719' date='Sep 19 2008, 10:19 PM']Pics were taken when i was trying out the Bad Ass on the Highway 1. Just realised that i do have some circumstantial evidence that this is a MIA body....American P Bass pickguards fit right on...mexican ones have the screw holes in different places and don't.[/quote] That is not quite true. I fitted a new US pickguard onto a Chrome Red MIM P-Bass and it fitted perfectly. I think you will find the MIM basses, (Precision and Jazz) built in the last 5 or so years are pretty much identical in the hardware department fixings.

[quote name='ianrunci' post='287018' date='Sep 19 2008, 08:08 AM']I can't really see a way of doing it to be honest Devon is an extremely long way from here [/quote] ian, Always worth asking if anyone can help in the General Discussion area. You never know. If someone is heading that way they could help with the swap.

[quote name='Sean.Robinson' post='283425' date='Sep 13 2008, 11:37 PM']Hi, thanks for the replys, also anyone with a brown tortoise pickguard?[/quote] Try Highly Strung.
