  1. Give me Tina any day https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l5zFsy9VIdM
  2. Ryan bought my Ashdown baby amp, smooth transaction, paid when he said & no problems at all, great guy to deal with. Cheerz, John
  3. I thought Et's answer was perfectly helpful, especially given the lack of meaningful info in the request. To answer the OP in another way - "No that doesn't make sense" - a picture would help & as always - is worth a thousand words.
  4. I would try Fedex first:- https://www.fedex.com/gb/account/newaccounteurope.html
  5. I have a 2003 HW1 next to a 2014 RW sig, quite different basses really. Neck width 1.5 v 1.75, nut 'artificial bone' v brass. rosewood v maple fingerboard, shallow c v deep c shape/feel, truss rod at head v heel, standard MiM style v 70's style tuners. Standard Fended P pick up v Seymour Duncan Quarter Pound, Ash body (Transparent Wine) v Alder, 3 ply v single pickguard, chrome v black bridge & knobs, (BadAss bridge on the later HW1's). What have I missed? They both do the job, the RW would be my choice - based purely on the 'doing Floyd stuff' Edit: Exactly as Lozz says "I`d pick up the first decent Precision that comes along."
  6. That is more than a bit nice I'm surprised it's still here after 2 days a very affordable beauty Best of luck with the sale Javier, John
  7. It looks amazing - in a clever little package - go anywhere with. I'll put 1 as #1 on my birthday list for Jan next, I'll be 65 & got too many basses already!
  8. Set ups & the way a bass plays is a very individual thing, what suits one player don't suit another etc.etc. Your 'expert' should know this better than anyone, if it's not right for you have a word with him, could say you should have said how you like the action - or he should have asked before he did the job.
  9. I do quite a few concentric pot conversions for Jazzes & P/J's - I can honestly say that every body who's had one are very pleased with the versatility & tone range it gives you PM me for more info. Cheerz, John
  10. Geoff got in touch regarding a new wiring loom to go with his new pick ups for his Jazz, we soon arranged the necessary - with excellent communication & instant payment - it was a real pleasure doing business with him. Cheerz, John
  11. OK - it looks like it's sold now - just waiting for payment to come through. All this time it's been advertised & then today I've had 4 people interested! If it all falls through - - - Best of luck, John
  12. [quote name='badboy1984' timestamp='1425305907' post='2706011'] bad timing for me, if is next month i will have enough cash for this. [/quote]If you're serious PM me & I'll hold it for you, or we can work something out. I've just advertised it elsewhere & getting a fair bit of interest 1st day! I would rather sell it to a BC'er Let me know Cheerz, John
  13. Reduced to £150 bump & a picture https://www.dropbox.com/s/fp4j3gl9t3yxbh1/MiBass220.jpg?dl=0
  14. Andy happened upon a P-bass with one of my kits in, which led to him enquiring about an upgrade kit for his Jazz bass excellent communications & instant payment, a real pleasure dealing with him. Cheerz, John
  15. Ashley got in touch regarding a wiring kit for his Charvel1B, great communication & instant payment, resulting in a happy chappy & good feedback A real pleasure to deal with, happy to recommend to all. Cheerz, John
  16. There's a song in that somewhere - 'it's all about the pop, when I slap - no tickle', repeat ad nauseum
  17. Many Jazz bass wiring relies on the mechanical connection between the mounting of pots & jack socket onto the metal bell plate, it saves .02 pence worth of extra wire but of course as soon as you get a loose nut or even a bit of corrosion under your nuts any earthing is at best - intermittent & doubtful It appears from your photo' that the pots are not of the 'highest quality' & also they are 500K Linear, which is certainly not what I would recommend for a Jazz Bass they are probably at the end of their useful life anyway! I would suggest a new wiring kit would go a long way to solving all your problems
  18. [quote name='karlfer' timestamp='1424696332' post='2699191'] Something about that headstock doesn't seem right? [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/111604259549?_trksid=p2060778.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT"]http://www.ebay.co.u...K%3AMEBIDX%3AIT[/url] [/quote]I'm no expert either, but I'm always suspicious of head end truss rod adjustment access - unless it's Mex or a Special, but that's not definite. What worries me though is the access hole does look small or the wooden plug seems 'thick sided', has a lot of meat around the hole, IYSWIM? Crucial test - what size allen key fits?[i][b] If it's USA Fender it'll be 3/16" [/b][/i]not 4, 4.5 or 5 mm Edit: My mistake the manual says 1/8" allen key for the bi-flex truss rod, that explains why the hole looks small
  19. Gutted! Horrible thing to loose your workshop, lucky no loss of life, could have been much worse!
  20. That lovely nurse when I broke 3 fingers on my left hand & said "will I ever be able to play guitar again?" She replied "no you'll have to play bass ;-)"
  21. From a question about capacitors, Mike ended up ordering a custom P-bass kit. Great communication & instant payment, all in all a very pleasant transaction, great guy to deal with. Cheerz, John
