[quote name='TheRinser' post='1042279' date='Nov 30 2010, 12:59 PM']Hey, How much is 'notalot' round the pegs on a P bass? Got a P copy and like the idea of trying out some flats... Will they stay in tune on it? How many times round the peg are we talking? Cheers, Tom[/quote] Hi Tom, Sorry - only just seen your question. I used them as they were with no problems & yes they stayed in tune. IIRC they had approx one whole turn around the pegs, it seems some people fit them like that, I prefer a few more winds. They are nice strings, ideal chance to try decent flatwounds without spending a lot. Cheerz, John

[quote name='deaver' post='1040212' date='Nov 28 2010, 06:13 PM']Can I ask what screw terminals you use? I'm toying with rigging up something similar for my old build.[/quote] PM incoming

[quote name='WHUFC BASS' post='1036482' date='Nov 25 2010, 03:32 PM']Personally I think the wiring block with screw terminals is a great idea. It will easily allow for various pickup configs to be tried out.[/quote] Thanks - my sediments precisely I'm sure a sensibly used screw connector is fine for our needs & could easily be a better bet than some individual's soldering! Cheerz, John

[quote name='jonthebass' post='1036276' date='Nov 25 2010, 01:10 PM']Don't be silly. It's a great offer you're doing here for someone. How about a picture for us to see? That may help you shift it a bit quicker too...[/quote] Why didn't I think of that [attachment=64923:05102010156.jpg] Cheerz, John

OK as I'm so sad - I've been to WD Music & priced it up. £7.90 - 2 x CTS Solid Shaft 250K Pots @£3.95 £1.95 - Switchcraft Jack Socket £0.98 - Orange Drop Cap (Same as Green I used) £2.00 - Wire (£1 per foot of each) £1.95 - P&P £14.78 - Total Parts. £0. 20 - Solder (Estimated) £2.24 - Royal Mail 1st Class posted to you. £17.22 - Grand Total. Leaving a miserly sum of £3.78 I suppose you'd say = me charging too much for building it? + I offered Screw Terminal connectors for anybody not wishing to solder their pick up & earth wires. I give up Edit: I forgot to add the small amount I regularly donate to Basschat whenever I make sales via this wonderful place Every little helps - or is that Tesco? Or Asda? Feck nose, is it Whisky time yet? Or just more pills?

[quote name='StevieD_FenderP2009' post='1036229' date='Nov 25 2010, 12:38 PM']To be perfectly honest, for the time and effort that goes into making one, £20 isn't too bad. Especially if it's a switchcraft jack and it's all unused before. This would be perfect for someone looking to upgrade their bass but isn't very confident. The option of the screw terminals is a really f*cking good idea too. Pick up change would be so much simpler that way... Wish I'd of thought of that...[/quote] Thanks - a ray of sunshine at last!

Yeah thanks - I think I'll just chuck it in the bin then.

[quote name='dave_bass5' post='1036137' date='Nov 25 2010, 11:50 AM']LOL. Why so negative? Yes, i was answering on behalf of Ou7. you asked why he questioned your price. Seeing as ive just upgraded all the internals of my P bass, and paid full price for the parts i DO know how much it all comes to. You only have to look on Allparts or WD music to find out how much each component and a bit of wire costs. I already said that your price was the going rate for this sort of thing so i wasn't questioning it at all, just answering your question. In fact if i hadn't already done my bass i would have had this off you as like you say, not everyone has the skill to do it themselves. I would say chill out but i guess you would take offence to me telling you to do that as well so good luck instead.[/quote] I suppose I find myself more negative than positive these days! Must be my age So you know the prices, factor in a little for consumables, time etc. + P&P, would you want to make a kit for less? No offence taken or intended - I'm going for my chill pill now Must be lunch time Cheerz, John

[quote name='dave_bass5' post='1036097' date='Nov 25 2010, 11:29 AM']Its a lot of money considering the cost of the components. I do understand that this is what they go for on Ebay though, im not questioning your price.[/quote] Are you answering on behalf of Ou7shined? I don't see how you think "Its a lot of money considering the cost of the components" unless you have access to wholesale price parts or something? Taking into consideration that they are quality components & all the work is done - not everybody has the tools/skills/knowledge/patience - whatever to do things like this for themselves, It seems to me a fair price to ask. I thought I might actually be doing someone a favour, not starting a price war! If you're "not questioning your price" what are you saying exactly? Cheerz, John

[quote name='Ou7shined' post='1036013' date='Nov 25 2010, 10:32 AM']Is this for just one kit? [/quote] Yes - 1 kit to fit 1 bass - what prompted your question?

To fit any 'Standard' Precision Bass: All brand new, 2 x CTS 250K pots, Green drop cap & Switchcraft Jack Socket, all wired up & ready to fit. Hand assembled using quality wire & proper solder! Your Pick up wires & Bridge earth wire will need soldering onto Volume pot tags, or I can supply screw terminals so no soldering for you to do. Instructions included if required. [s]£21 [/s]Posted, PayPal as gift OK ta. [size=4][color="#FF0000"]SOLD[/color][/size] Thanks Steve. Cheerz, John Edit: Pictures added, Pick Up & Pick Guard not included in this sale.
