Only 1 has really bad corrosion & they've all been in the same 'not far from ideal' conditions, may have been from a bad batch [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v48/kjon51/170220121235.jpg[/IMG]

Had a bit of a sort out yesterday, including a little use pedal box & found some Neutriks jacks in a sorry state - pics: Bought for making up patch leads - I thought they were a reasonable quality bit of kit but now I'm not so sure. They've never left the house, not got wet or been bathed in splashes of beer or any other liquid. The plating is badly pitted & corroded, not fit for use - they're probably not even 2 years old - fit for the scrap bin! Now searching for some good quality r/a & straight jack plugs - any recommendations? Cheerz, John

Does your local luthier have a reputation that might ring bells here on BC? You can't put all luthiers in the same fruit bowl Cheerz, John

Had a clean up today & put a Gramma underneath the rig. Didn't realise it's practically the Little Bastard's 2nd anniversary already thought it deserved a picture [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v48/kjon51/160220121224.jpg[/IMG] Cheerz, John

I would never have carried on until that was sorted, if it was as bad as you say it could have been fatal! Surely it needed sorting? What about next time? Dangerous

I ordered an Auralex Gramma from Dolphin, best price I could find on the web, in stock at £38 + £3.99 P&P. Very pleased with the service, ordered late Tuesday, here before 10 today, friendly home delivery service via Yodel couriers. I'll have a sort out & get it under my Little Bastard Mini Stack shortly!

That looks right

Mart is correct above, just thought I'd add - the 'Case Earth' Ground/Body of the Jack Socket should be a continuous wire to the Pre amp & should in effect be internally connected to terminals 2,6,10 - 11 shown, to provide ground continuity to all other parts. The battery negative Black wire must go to the 'Jack Barrel Earth' Tag as Mart say's so that it is isolated from everything else when the Jack Plug is withdrawn. Cheerz, John

Yep - another 727mm here - American Vintage '62 P. John.

Needs more cowbell mate

What about this? No connection whatsoever with me - I just saw your thread & had posted about this.

Just saw this offer & thought it looks good - don't know anything about them [url="http://www.andertons.co.uk/bass-combos/pid23176/cid687/ashdown-220-touring-1x12-220w-bass-amp.asp"]http://www.andertons.co.uk/bass-combos/pid23176/cid687/ashdown-220-touring-1x12-220w-bass-amp.asp[/url]

I supplied Lee with a P-bass wiring kit, absolute pleasure to deal with all the way, no problem recommending him to all, great guy to deal with. Cheerz, John

Luvly jubly - postie's just been great gesture from Jason & Rotosound - many thanks to them. Cheerz to Mark for sorting

What they fail to mention is that it might have been worth £20,000 if it had been restored properly

Hey Steve, These are the ones for 1/4" Solid Shaft, unfortunately out of stock now,[url="http://www.wdmusic.co.uk/product/Tele_Chrome_Flat-Top_Knob_USA_Fit_TBKCA"]http://www.wdmusic.co.uk/product/Tele_Chrome_Flat-Top_Knob_USA_Fit_TBKCA[/url] You have to be careful - a lot of knobs are for 6mm shafts & won't fit CTS Solid Shaft pots, some adverts don't state hole size. Fender packets come up on ebay: [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-Genuine-Fender-Barrel-Knobs-Tele-P-Bass-Chrome-/300602129453?pt=UK_Guitar_Accessories&hash=item45fd487c2d#ht_3401wt_934"]http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-Genuine-Fender-Barrel-Knobs-Tele-P-Bass-Chrome-/300602129453?pt=UK_Guitar_Accessories&hash=item45fd487c2d#ht_3401wt_934[/url] proper job but not cheap! Cheerz, John

Another great deal with Jerry, he's becoming a regular don't suck the cap's Jerry, they're not supposed to be tasty Cheerz mate, a pleasure doing business with you Highly recommended to all. Cheerz, John

Bet none of you's got the legs for it though

It was my pleasure to supply a special little wiring kit for a project of Johns, great communication along the way, great guy to deal with. Cheerz, John

Well it's all down to you & all the other like minded people that make it great Cheerz to you too John

[quote name='EssentialTension' timestamp='1328481745' post='1527966'] That's correct except that it's purchase price plus carriage [u]plus insurance[/u] if you have any. [/quote] I was reckoning on insurance being in with the carriage but you're right if it's not inclusive.
