  1. I supplied a wiring kit to Andrew, it's a pleasure dealing with him, great communication, instant payment, top bloke, no problem recommending him to all. Cheerz, John
  2. Hipshot D-tuner definitely for the win, it doesn't take long to get used to playing with your E being D, a flick & you're back.
  3. Seems like some good deals, if you're looking for TC gear [url="http://www.andertons.co.uk/News/aid822/buy-a-tc-electronic-bh500-bass-half-stack-and-get-a-second-cab-absolutely-free.asp?utm_campaign=120618tcbassstacks&utm_content=1062375640178&utm_medium=email&utm_source=Emailvision"]http://www.andertons.co.uk/News/aid822/buy-a-tc-electronic-bh500-bass-half-stack-and-get-a-second-cab-absolutely-free.asp?utm_campaign=120618tcbassstacks&utm_content=1062375640178&utm_medium=email&utm_source=Emailvision[/url]
  4. [quote name='Clarky' timestamp='1339945812' post='1696574'] If you have FaceBook (not everyone does!) I posted the vid in the R*ickenfaker group page. Its pretty poor playing as I haven't used a pick in a year and I had no idea what to play when I hit the recording 'on' switch, but you get the drift sound-wise [url="http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=383725341674460&oid=78514186083"]http://www.facebook....oid=78514186083[/url] [/quote] That's just what happens to me when I go to try a bass glad I'm not alone sounds like a Ric btw
  5. I've no idea about the job, but congratulations on being allowed to treat yourself to bass things

  7. The weblink doesn't help much - "[color=#000000][font=verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif][size=2][Every bass neck comes completely fretted" - [/size][/font][/color]& your photo's don't show the side dots (if there are any?) So does it have position markers & what/where are they, at 'fret position'? Cheerz, John Edit: What size are the tuner holes please?

  13. BTW I'm a little unbalanced in terms of Rosewood Vs Maple, only my '51P & '57P (RI's) are Maple but looking around here I can see Seven rosies I think I need to sell a couple & redress the balance, (by buying more Maple)
  14. [quote name='Rick's Fine '52' timestamp='1339767919' post='1694038'] What I meant to say, was, except the one that KiOgon has, which is arguably the finest looking P I've seen in a long while, and what appears to be extraordinary value at that price too (Even though I haven't seen it, or know how much it is .....hope that's OK??) (Is this the first ever bump of a bass not even listed yet ) [/quote] Yep - nice one Rick - thank you muchly - your £5er's in the post When I get some photo's done I'll put it up with a link here

  16. I just love the duck's picture [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1339751931' post='1693637'] I'll give it a go. I use Finger-Ease anyway, so it's got to be worth a punt for a fiver!

  18. Rosewood's right on Sunburst, Maple's wrong IMO

  21. [quote name='pobrien_ie' timestamp='1339494998' post='1689161'] Hi John. A couple of minor hiccups (mostly lack of time on my part), but all is back on track! The bass really sounds great and nails the sound I had in my head. I've a MIM jazz neck on the bass in the meantime, but not liking it at all! I know you're right about getting the 1.75 neck, and I know I'd regret not doing it, so I'll shop around a bit more. The japs I've been looking at seem to be 1.625 (the standard p bass size I think). My 57 has a 1.75 neck and I really love the feel of it. As above, the jazz neck, while nice and fast, just isn't doing it for me. Real men need a 1.75!!! [/quote] Yes I've edited my mistake I meant 1.625". I've recently got a old Highway One P-bass which measures 1.65" at the nut & the feel is very close to the AV's but still 1/10" down. ATB, John
  22. Hi Paddy, ain't you got that finished yet? To me it wouldn't be a '62 with anything less than a 1 & 3/4 neck. All the Jap ones I've seen have been 1.625" but I don't know about the 90's ones. Stick out for a proper AV job IMO, they are so good ATB, John Edit: As Mr Fingers has pointed out, it's the 7.25" radius & the Vintage Frets which all combine to give it the right feel, size & shape. The Musikraft neck looks pretty close from the pics I've seen.
