Looks almost too good to be true - but maybe it's a great example Ah! Sweden HTH

Best wishes Bill - one of my early influences, in fact I made my first bass copying the Vox Teardrop he & Brian Jones were playing.

Ben got in touch for a wiring kit to suit an old Vox Custom 25 he was rebuilding. Great communication & instant payment, a sweet, smooth transaction, a pleasure to deal with. Cheerz, John

Thanks for sharing that

Bobby got in touch for a P-bass wiring kit, second time I believe he's a real pleasure to deal with, great communications & instant payment. Cheerz, John

Pleased to make another wiring kit for Gary, as already said many times - he's a diamond geezer, solid as a rock Cheerz, John

Rich got in touch for a P-bass wiring kit this time, as always - he's a real pleasure to deal with - top fella Cheerz, John

Yep still made me laugh, remember that on telly!

The top diagram - Fender '62 pick ups is fine. The SM drawing has the 2 wires from the volume pot shown in black - as you say they should be white! Also SM show no earth to the tone pot body, which is wrong IMO. Meddle has it right ^^ in both posts ^^ Cheerz, John

Love mine - number one straight from the factory - never missed a beat & never need another amp

Harry enquired about a passive conversion wiring kit for his Status Energy 5 & I was pleased to make him a loom for the job. Great communications & instant payment, a real pleasure & a gent to deal with. Cheerz, John

Sounds like you need a nut job

[quote name='Frankieabbott' timestamp='1456067676' post='2985052'] I bought the guitar 'new' about 3 months ago. I suppose that maybe the guitar and certainly the strings could be any age depending how long it's been displayed in the shop. The clearance of the E string at the first fret is approximately 0.6mm. [/quote]0.6mm don't sound a lot - but the way I test is to tear a sliver of paper & put on top of first fret while fretting the string at the 2nd, if the scrap of paper falls out - the nut slot ain't deep enough also as above - check the high point of the bottom of the slot is towards the fingerboard - not the tuners.

How well cut is your nut? You are bending the E more/too much to fret if it's too high!

Bryan asked about options for his Jazz bass & after a few PMs he settled on a Volume Blend Tone set, super guy to deal with, spot on communications & instant payment - a diamond geezer Cheerz, John

So good I had to play it twice Best bass playing front man ever!

[quote name='skankdelvar' timestamp='1455914710' post='2983679'] I regret that neither account is correct. The issue of 'clay dots' was explored in successive articles in Guitar Player during the 1980's; the definitive explanation emerged in an interview with long-time Fender employee and consultant Freddie Tavares by GP staffer Kirk Esanvantio in the July '83 issue: [/quote]Superb Mr Skank

Hutton got in touch for a 'tidy up & upgrade' wiring loom for his P-bass, great guy to deal with - spot on communications & instant payment, a diamond geezer Cheerz, John

Mark got in touch for a upgrade wiring kit for his JHS Vintage P bass, great communications & instant payment, a pleasure to deal with. Cheerz, John

Lemon oil every time for me, whenever thing are looking a bit dry - but generally only when I buy a bass - new or previously owned, stick on a set of Flats & check maybe once a year I apply generously with a old toothbrush along the frets & up & down the grain then clean off with cotton pads or a cotton T shirt applying more Lemon oil as required until the rosewood has a bit of colour deep in it. If very dry maybe apply some Beeswax & polish in & off. No masking or faffing required. Edit: Yes removing all the strings at once is not a problem

A good honest description from a dealer must be right
