[quote name='lettsguitars' timestamp='1343986109' post='1758148'] By far the best method is to take them apart and rewind the coil yourself using a hand drill. [/quote]

I wouldn't worry, if you've been trying to tighten it without taking the strain off, it will feel tight, most unlikely to be a problem IMO

To me - not cool at all! Looks a Feckin mess, neck is totally wrong & far too wide, (at the heel at least) complete abortion of fitting a P-bass pup, how the hell can it be cool? Sort of thing I wouldn't give a Fiver for at a boot sale, must be the most unbalanced POS ever. YHMV John

Fair enough What might help & is worth always doing - is to - if you're working on your own, position the bass so that you can apply hand pressure to the neck to relieve the stress from the rod before you try turning the adjuster. In other words if you want to tighten the rod, put a backwards bow into the neck with hand pressure first. After loosening everything as above If you've got someone with you to help then it's easier Hope this helps, John

[quote name='Evil Undead' timestamp='1343735000' post='1754301'] I shall try I'll give them at least a week. I know that if I do switch back to rounds I'll be annoyed that I have to raise my action haha! But I am very concerned about not being able to turn my truss rod any further... [/quote] How exactly are you trying to adjust the truss rod? Not being funny, serious question.

It depends where you draw the expensive line I only use Fender Bass specific cables, the Gold being my favourite, Platinum is a bit too stiff. Just lately I've been thinking about trying a Asterope - good enough for Bob Babbit (rest his soul) [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NNENWcEwazk&feature=relmfu"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NNENWcEwazk&feature=relmfu[/url]

[/quote] [quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1343572857' post='1752196'] That's the clearest I've ever heard that bassline. Nice. [/quote] [quote name='Fat Rich' timestamp='1343573359' post='1752199'] Very nice playing, sounds clean and you have a nice economical style with your fingers... no waggling! Good stuff! [/quote] + 1 to everything already said

The seller has a point, if you went & saw it, tested it - said 'everything seems perfect' - I don't think you've got a leg to stand on regarding a claim against him. If something has broken, it's probably only a wire off or battery problem.

That is very very very very very sweet Nick enjoy Cheerz, John

Some great advice above Looking at your build spec I'd offer 2 particular requirements for the pots, CTS are without question the best BUT check your rear routed cavity is wide enough for them & make sure you get long enough threads to go through the body. The hardest part is soldering to the pot bodies without a proper iron, you need to heat it enough & quickly to avoid damaging the pot's internals. If you need any more advise/info please feel free to PM me. Cheerz, John Edit: Your 2 posts above came in while I was typing must type faster

Yep use as required & if you want a cheap recommendation = [url="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Planet-Waves-NS-Capo-Lite/dp/B0037MA69I/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1343323277&sr=8-1"]http://www.amazon.co.uk/Planet-Waves-NS-Capo-Lite/dp/B0037MA69I/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1343323277&sr=8-1[/url] works beautifully, simple & it works on 7&1/4" radii Fenders

I've got the Fender Custom Shop registration & Lifetime Warranty on mine & have read about their Free Collect/Return Courier Service, that's the first time I've heard of anyone using it. Nice one Fender

Wrong sort of rain then

Mmmmmmm! Loving the old blue P, damn you Nick I can feel GAS stirring

[quote name='dunnymod' timestamp='1342700728' post='1739526'] Hello everyone, just a quickie. Ive just picked up a Fender Jazz JB62 (which is lovely!!!) with the serial number P023208, "Crafted in Japan". Attempting to date the guitar online suggests that the P serial number was between 1993-1994, however it contradicts itself by saying only "crafted" models were made after 1996-1997. So was there ever a P series CIJ? If so anyone have any crack about them??? cheers [/quote] Take the neck off & have a look, my MIJ has a date stamp which contradicts what the website & the shop say it was.

[quote name='Eljay' timestamp='1342630284' post='1738304'] Yes, you totally missed out. You MISSED that it was all in good fun, and that I think those straps are kool, and thought some might like seeing pics of what I think is a nice product. Have you an issue with that? Is there a problem?? Do you REALLY think I'm trying to SELL something or get free advertising on this board?? Are you nuts?? Greedy, suspicious, insecure people think like that I guess, and can't see what good cheer is. I can, so Cheers and cheerio to your ridiculous theory! Holy Stratford-Upon-Avon! I totally dug the people I met in Britain, from the maid at the Hotel in Bath, to the Old Folks in Devonshire, to the hipsters in London- But some of youse guys here on this Forum.... Wow wow wow. Don't make me do Lexingon/Concord on you bad-attitude Brits; there's too many Goodfellows here, I trust!!! here- Here's a pic of a strap I had custom-made by a guy in Texas- It has my initials so I won't ever sell it of course. The Shamrock on it was a homage to my trip/visit to Ireland (I'm not Irish. alas) Get it???? See I like straps, that's about it, and I'm lucky enuff to work as a rep for a made-in-usa not china strap company that has a heritage. Yes they're distributed in England, am I trying to get you to buy one??? PLEASE! I could care less, thought someone might chime in "Nice!" Just as the Spectra-Sonic is NICE! that ain't for sale either. Here's another one, made for me by a great gal in Australia, Chantal. The deal with that- THAT is a Native American "Katchina", the Eagle Dancer Spirit. Concept was it FLIES over BS rather than engage it. Those Injuns knew wassup, huh??? Kewl Huh?? Jeesh. [/quote] Now you see, before you start name calling - like 'greedy, suspicious, insecure' whatever - may I refer you to a thread I ran a few days ago, in a similar vein - that is 'for a bit of fun'.

[quote name='Ou7shined' timestamp='1342623738' post='1738085'] I don't get this. The OP says hi to the UK, poses a question and offers a prize to the winner. The question is duly answered (with bells on)... and surprise surprise by a UK dude. But then it is revealed that his prize cannot be posted to the UK... but there may be distributors somewhere. Huh? Is this an advert? Did I miss something? [/quote] Yes - strange
