    [quote name='fretmeister' timestamp='1417434276' post='2620214'] I have a lovely Jap P bass, but the string spacing is a little wide for me - I've not accurately measured it but IIRC most Fender 4 strings are about 22mm at the bridge, and most of my other basses are about 19, or even 18 on the 5 strings. I'm happy with the existing BBOT bridge as long as I can use replacement saddles to narrow the spacing a bit - but there are choices. Current USA Fenders come with 3 or 4 quite large grooves cut in the saddles to allow adjustment. But vintage Fenders actually seem to have threaded saddles where the whole thing is grooved, but not as deep. Does either of these have an advantage over the other? And just as importantly - where's the cheapest place to get them? ta [/quote] I don't know where you've got that 22mm figure from? All mine are 19mm +/- a smidgen. If they were 66mm or greater across the bridge, the E & G would be too close to the edge of the fingerboard at 20th fret for comfort I'd think Easy to get the threaded saddle type on ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Fender-P-Bass-J-Bass-Vintage-Bridge-Assembly-/261680105943

    Are you sure you specified "inches" on the order? Or was it one of those metric V imperial cock ups?

    Seems to me the Alpha B25K jobbies would be for use with their active pre & totally the wrong pots for passive humbuckers

    1965 was it! I remember learning the bass line for that, must have played the single a thousand times over. RIP Jimmy, a sad loss.

    I see your Fender mug - and I raise it with my Pink Floyd DSOTM 40th anniversary mug [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v48/kjon51/40thanniversarymug_zps7b985692.jpg[/IMG]

    What pots & shafts have you got? 5.9 or 6mm split/splined or 1/4" solid round?
  14. KiOgon
    A factor in the OP's bass is the blend pot used. there are various per cent of either pick up in the range of some pots, some will not take the J completely out of circuit when fully turned. Hope that makes sense

    Thanks for that - I'll try to stay awake for it 11 - 12PM

    Ashdown MiBass 220 Micro Bass Amp Head [s]£180[/s] REDUCED to £150 or make an offer. Cash/Bank Transfer/Paypal Gift/Personal - no fees my way. You can try me but I can't think of any trades I'd be interested in I bought this brand new in September 2012, (have receipt), £287.45. It sat ontop a cab for a while & I probably used it 1/2 a dozen time for a total of a few minutes. I wanted a back up & a solid state amp to compare with my all valve Ashdown. It does exactly what it should, superb bass tones, lots of EQ range & plenty of power in a 3.7lb packet, 220 W into 4 Ohm, sounds great coupled with my Ashdown 112. It is as new, no dents, scratches or damage, you might find a spec of dust or 2! Original bag, box, manual, receipt & UK mains lead. Save over £100 on the new cost. Plenty of pictures around without me showing up my non professional photo’ taking I’m sure, it’s the black front panel one! Postage at cost no problem wherever – I will only use a signed for service – or FREE courier delivery if bought (& paid for) before 30th Nov 14.

    Had a go on Andy's (JusLukin) Harley 5 & was really impressed, nothing to complain about - could have been any price really - absolute bargain I wouldn't buy one because I love my Fenders & I've got too many of them but if I was strapped for cash & needed a bass it would be high on my list of budget basses. If you're a badge snob - then no it won't satisfy
