  1. Unknown make neck. P profile nut width. Rosewood board. I’ll put measurements up later. Comes with some NOS Korean made Akkord machineheads, screws and string tree. I’ll throw in a neck plate and screws if you need them. Some tarnish to 12th fret. £50 posted.
  2. I haven’t tried to fit the neck to the body, or the machineheads to the neck. But I have offered up the neck and it looks like a snug fit with perhaps a little sanding, after removing the scratchplate.
  3. Lovely P body, loaded with a beast of MFD pickups and KiOgon loom. Think it might be a Classic Vibe or VM Squier. Lovely off white colour (compare next to my white Jazz). Anodised gold scratchplate, thumb rest and pup cover. I used this with a superb P neck that I’ve now fitted to a jazz bass.
  4. Got this with a Signature Jazz Body NOS. The body was immaculate but the neck ferrule holes in the headstock were “chewed” where they’d either had machine head ferrules fitted and then roughly removed, or were roughly drilled. However, when I fitted some machineheads they were covered. There is a mark on the top of the headstock as pictured and a blemish in the finish at the top of the headstock face. Don't know much about these, but it’s a decent enough neck but a little slim for my liking so I’ve fitted a chunky wide P neck to the body and it’s perfect for my needs. Nice Rosewood board. Truss turns both ways. The line on the heel end isn’t a crack, it looks more like an ink line or stain. It has a micro tilt plate on the heel (the body has the corresponding grub screw). My feeling is that perhaps the neck didn’t pass QC with the headstock finish? Anyway £40 posted seems reasonable.
  5. Couple of bridge position humbuckers and a loom with V/T pots. Bought for a project jazz hollow body guitar, but I couldn’t get the loom to fit as my hands are too big to get inside the body, and don’t have the correct tools either. Guitar moved on and have these hanging around. The one in the black surround was bought used and the Wilkinson was new. All together £25 posted.
  6. That’s a proper grown up bass. Bet it does the Times crossword every morning whilst smoking a pipe. Nice!
  7. Hi Grezza Did the machineheads go with the sold neck, or are they still available? cheers John
  8. Zoom R8. Standalone 8 Track recorder. Also acts as an audio interface, and DAW controller and sampler. Pretty much covers most bases for recording. Comes with an SD card. Runs on mains (PSU supplied) or batteries so is great for on the road capturing ideas. Has drum machine built in, loads of fx for guitar/vox and mixing. Bought this at the same time my wife bought me (unbeknownst to me) an Audio Interface I’d also been looking at for a while. This is excess to requirements. Boxed, instructions, SD card and PSU Specs: https://zoomcorp.com/en/gb/digital-mixer-multi-track-recorders/multi-track-recorders/r8/
  9. Clearly had lessons from “you know who” given the “jaunty” angled machineheads.
  10. Originals rock/pop band with own rehearsal space, backline, PA and band bus. Somerset/Dorset area. PM for more details.
  11. As Hubrad says, the wheels just need putting in between to make an adjustable bridge. But it does mean the action is higher. So I think maybe a new bridge would give the buyer a chance to get a better functioning bridge. They’re about £10 off eBay. You’re welcome to come and try it anytime Mike.
  12. Where did you find yours? Never heard of them before. I like the micro-tilt function on the neck heel.
  13. Bought on a whim, but I don’t have the inclination to play it. It's in good condition everything works, bridge fitted correctly and comes with a new spare bridge. The hard case is a nice bonus. Leather strap and some spare strings £50 seems fair.
  14. Picked up this unused Signature branded J bass loaded body and unused neck. Neck had no holes drilled for machineheads or body attachment. Came with good quality hardware and decent pots/pups. String through body. Neck had date stamped Aug 08 87 (indented not just stamped/written) and control cavity QC dated May 90. The neck where the stamp is looks like it has a crack but it’s actually only a stain run. I’ve put it together and it’s a lovely bass, the bridge pup is a monster and the tone control has a nice wide range. I believe there was some chatter on TB about the original Signature brand being some collaboration with Rush guitarist and some luthier. But the brand didn't last and someone bought up all the stock. Theres also some stories of someone using a Chinese company to produce them now. Anyway, I don’t particularly care as it’s a great bass. Happy Slappy.
  15. I’ll take a look later, thanks for the heads up. Fantastic writer and musician.
  16. Anybody here use booking agencies or promoters for getting gigs In the south west? If so, which ones and what’s your experience been like? For an originals band. Thanks John
  17. What @BigRedX said. The variation in tone and perceived volume in differing settings will determine where you land on your choice, along with comfort. I'd take up @Lozz196 offer of a variety so you can try some out. Good luck with the audition 👍🏻 Let us know how you get on. Cheers John
  18. Liviu bought my RS212 cab. Great communication, paid and picked up when he said he would! Perfect. cheers John
  19. Dave bought a pedal from me. Easy transaction, good comms, no dramas. Thanks. John
  20. Those 4x8 Ashdown cabs are amazing. Built like tanks and equally as terrifying volume wise. Brilliant design that belies its size. Thats a terrific rig that’ll fit in any space, whilst providing enough heft to satisfy the most demanding of low- enders GLWTS
  21. The link just takes me to an eBay search list of basses. Do I need to scroll to find the Revo? Cheers
  22. Lovely bass, and it’s worth buying from Pete just for the views! 😊 GLWTS.
