    Sorry, I've just read the full thread again and see that the two pickups are completely different (Schaller 232 & Dimarzio DP 120). The construction, magnets, winding wire etc are likely to be quite different in which case the DC resistance really doesn't tell you anything about how they compare in terms of output or tone. They might work well together - or not! What's the bass? Can you just drop in the new bridge pickup and see how it sounds?
  3. ikay
    If the pickups are otherwise of the same construction (same magnet type/strength, same winding wire/gauge) then the difference between 11.3 and 14.4 is nearly 30% which is pretty substantial. I'd expect there to be a noticeable difference in tone and output between the two with the 14.4 being louder and darker. With this one being in the neck position (where string movement is greater) the difference would be even more noticeable. By way of comparison, a regular vintage type jazz pickup would generally be somewhere around the 8k to 9k mark with a difference between neck and bridge of around 1k or less.

    Running a quick search on ebay for 'cheney key' brings up quite a few. Is there a number on the lock somewhere? You could try contacting Abbey who seem to be the supplier for Cheney locks - [email protected] http://abbeyengland.com/Store/List/1/CategoryID/423/Level/a Failing all else a paperclip usually does the trick on most guitar cases!

    The spec here says the body is nitro and the neck is satin poly - http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Precision_Highway_One.html

    If it's poly then trying to patch it by spot filling will not work as well as if it was nitro. Poly cures to a hard finish and patched areas will leave visible fracture lines, unlike nitro which melds with the existing finish.

    Pic?

    Ah yes, duh!

    Love to see the re-bodied version (the elongated body is the one thing that puts me off the Rascal), can you post a pic?

    Very nice indeed, not often a Landing short scale pops up on BC

    Man that is tough, sorry to hear. Not sure if this is any help but here's a video of a cover with a good view of the fingering all the way through -

    Can't see the chart without a premium account, but from the fleeting glimpse I got before the paywall banner came up and blocked it, it looks like guitar sales are on the up. Can you post an image of this chart?

    For anyone who's interested, I contacted Delano and here's their reply: "One difference is the hum free single coil mode of the The Xtender HE pickup. We added some more bass and sparkling highs to the quad coil pickup. The HE/S is a little bit more aggressive with a punchy bass. Both pickups have the same switching options."
  14. ikay
    The Delano Xtender comes in two versions - the HE (quad coil) and HE/S (dual coil). Does anyone have experience of either (or both)? Do the two versions have different tonal characteristics? Does the quad coil allow for more switching options? I can't find any info on the Delano website or demos on youtube showing the difference. I'd like to get an Xtender for a project bass but don't know how to decide which version to buy. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks

    Personally I like quaintly analogue things such as bendy strings and moving parts that need adjusting every so often, but for those that don't ... (fugly warning)
  17. ikay
    Good to hear! What was the part number out of interest?
  18. ikay
    Rick Toone (really?) would agree with you - http://www.ricktoone.com/tuner.html

    Excellent, that's good to know!
  20. ikay
    Be interested to know which shop on the offchance it's within striking distance (W.Sussex)?
  21. ikay
    I'm really tempted. Came across them a few weeks ago and contacted Supro to find out who distributes them in the UK. Turns out to be JHS. The full range popped up on ebay a couple of days ago from Chummy Musical in Ipswich - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SUPRO-HUNTINGTON-2-BASS-GUITAR-NATURAL-ASH-2042AN/282840631005?epid=15014569457&hash=item41da9d86dd:g:-4wAAOSwrnRafJ3O I also asked about weight and they gave me these average weights for the different woods: Mahogany - 7.8 Ash - 8.6 Flame (maple top, mahogany body) - 7.8 Black (mahogany) - 7.6
  22. ikay
    What is the exact weight please?
  23. ikay
    Andertons have just replied (impressive at this time on a Sunday) and say they don't have a Mustang in the shop to try it with but the bass team are 'pretty confident it will fit'. I was hoping for something a bit more concrete but it sounds like an option worth exploring further.
  24. ikay
    Thanks, good to know there's enough wiggle room in the M80. The same with some other guitar gig bags maybe, which would open up lots of short-scale BG options.
  25. ikay
    What does it weigh please and whereabouts in London are you?
