Sorry - but it looks cheap to me & judging by the close up around the jack socket it doesn't look very well cut either, I'd suggest you didn't pay a lot for it

2nd verse = same as the first a Jazz bass kit for Tim this time, a pleasure to deal with him again. Cheerz, John

Cheerz guyz

I have a circuit which I know works can send you if you like.

Looking good together Mark

I had the Roland Micro Bass for a while, I wanted a small amp to be able to use playing along with the TV sometimes. I never got anything 'decent' out of it with passive basses, very disappointed, at the time I only had one active, which was far better suited but I still wouldn't expect to go with drums

The holes in the bottom of the route for the pick ups are probably not vertically aligned so when the mounting screws are fitted they cause a 'tilt'. Answer - to re drill holes in the right place & plug the old ones. Or it may be caused by a replacement pickguard with the cut outs in a different place so when fitted it's forcing the pick ups out of position. Or could even be replacement pick ups that are not quite the same shape/size/mounting holes, the cut outs were intended for.

They're both made from Obeche, an African hardwood used for making furniture. [/quote]What do you know! My Dad - in 1963 or 4 found me some wood to make my first bass - he was a carpenter/joiner/cabinet maker - but said he knew about wood for musical instruments anyway I clearly remember, he brought me home a piece of Obeche for the body & Sapele for the neck. With his craftmanship 'we' made a very nice bass out of that, my first bass long gone

[quote name='Ramsay777' timestamp='1433085171' post='2787677'] Hi folks, I have an American Standard Jazz Bass that I had refinished last year some time, while it was away I took delivery of a Musicman Sterling USA and the poor beast's not had a look in since! And for grounding the bridge, is it just common practice to strip back the insulation on the wire and jam it underneath the bridge? [/quote] Yes!

Steve got in touch about a P-bass wiring kit, great communication & instant payment, a real pleasure dealing with him. Cheerz, John

Congrats - that is a P of great beauty

If you didn't pay for it bubinga - then it's legaly not yours to sell, even though it seems to be 'unclaimed property' so I don't know for sure. How about you try to contact the guy by any means you have & say 'look I've got £250 (or whatever it's worth) in my hand for you"

It's going to be great! Best 'til last indeed, those Lollipops on the red head are outstanding I hope the Nordies get sorted without too much aggro

Great stuff

The Stones twitter question time on the Talktalk news was a fun read too

[quote name='gary mac' timestamp='1432050661' post='2777584'] Thanks Gents It has got flats on John but I've no idea which variety. They have a mauve colour silk winding, as can be seen in the headstock pic. [/quote]GHS Precision Flats have purple top & none at the bridge but I don't think your's look like them https://www.dropbox.com/s/ng1eaevoaqzicw7/2015-05-19%2017.09.10.jpg?dl=0

You lucky B. (Basschatter) well done & very good of Alex

Grant has had a couple of kits from me, great communications & instant payment, a real pleasure to deal with. Cheerz, John

Great job, glad it's sounding good looks cool Cheerz, John

Jose got in touch re a wiring loom for his G&L 2000, we exchanged some ideas & settled on VVT with 2 mini toggles for the pick ups switching provides parallel, single coil (outers), and series modes. Great communication & instant payment, Jose is a real pleasure to deal with. Cheerz, John
