From the pic's I'd say the thread on the end of the rod is 'buggered' (a technical term) the only possible repair is to re-cut a smaller diameter thread & fit a matching spoke wheel. May be easier to fit a new rod

Another vote for the Little Bastard, no fan no hiss & beautiful valve tone all day every day

[quote name='Rick's Fine '52' timestamp='1410775961' post='2552870'] Just snagged a nice blonde piggyback bassman, after much searching, so thought i'd get some of my combo's out in the fresh air for a pic: '52 Precision with '52 TV Bassman, '58 Precision with '59 Bassman, '61 Jazz, with '63 Bassman [/quote] Yummy! Great to see them together like that very nice Rick

[quote name='Beedster' timestamp='1420623315' post='2651325'] .....and a zero fret on a fretless isn't exactly ideal for setting it up... [/quote]True - I wouldn't like the height of a fret there on mine, the strings practically start at zero - on the fingerboard

I can't see why it appears to be fitted with a adjustable nut - when it has a zero fret? Pointless!

I fit the 6 string sets a lot for guitarists, 150L 9-42 & 150R 10-46, they're a lovely mellow string, soft & smooth don't like their big brothers though HTH

[quote name='Woodinblack' timestamp='1420282598' post='2647430'] In hindsight maybe Phil shouldn't have had a plate put on the back with 'Phil Lynott, 1949-1986' - it was asking for trouble. Still the wood screws on the brass are a nice touch. [/quote]

Very pleased with mine, 4.11 Kg balances right.. It needed a bit taken out of the nut slots, (doesn't everything?) Since I put Flats on - Status Hotwires & did a complete set-up I haven't had to adjust anything. Usual BBOT bridge & 70's style tuners all work fine, electrics are good, nothing to change but black tuners would look good IMO. Body & neck fit & finish are as good as any USA, frets are finished well & they're the vintage size, not medium jumbo as Fender say, I'm used to the 1 3/4" neck. I love it, sounds just like a great P & plays well, I reckon it's a classy classic black & maple beauty. Cheerz, John

Yep - good showcase with some excellent gigs under your belt just needs the right people to see it & you'll be getting calls

Very nice looking kit just one thing would niggle me - TKS - why not fit the badge the other side, not part over the 6"?

Out = nought In = one - Fender Roger Waters Signature Precision, not that I needed another P, but saw it & fell in love, I'd known about them a long time but hadn't even thought about buying until a bargain jumped out & shouted BUY ME Fitted Status Hotwire flats & set it up, now it's amongst the top of the tree P's for me. The Maple neck & board along with the brass nut give it a brightness but it's 100% P-bass.

Well done Shep - way to go Best of luck

You know the deal - if it looks too good to be true - then it probably is! As tempting as it maybe You go first Edit: I dunno - the bloody serial number checks out! [url="http://www.guitardaterproject.org/fender.aspx"]http://www.guitardat...org/fender.aspx[/url] (Corona USA 07 - 08)

Take a P-bass, any P-bass, string it with Flats, get a set of Duck Dunn fingers & you're there
