Bloody Cambridge ???????

If they're 1/4" shafts I have a range of knobs to fit - what are you looking for?

You shouldn't oil Maple anyway.

@glassmoon I have a set of knobs for you sitting here, do you still want them? Cheerz, John

Stock in 1 - 2 weeks any good? https://www.thomann.de/gb/search_dir.html?sw=dimarzio+model+p&smcs=0f9bdd_8455

It's all about the beard 😎

In '73 I went up to that London to get myself some new gear 😎 I had recently aquired a new shiny plastic thing called Barclaycard and it was burning a hole in my pocket ☺️ After trying every Rickobasher in town and being incredibly p1553ed off with them, I fell in love with a beautiful blonde Gherson Jazz, had to have it! Then - trying it through a HiWatt 100 and a cab I can't remmember - I wanted more of everything, grunt, heft, trouser flapping wind, etc.etc. The sales guy said 'hang on a minute' and rushed out of the shop, returning shortly with a monster Orange cab, on a trolley, standing 5 foot high and 2 foot wide and about the same weight as HMS Ark Royal, concealing 2 x 18" massive cones. It sounded wonderful, fulfilling all my dreams, to be the envy of every other bass player, (in Bexhill at least!). It was 'perfect', fitted in the back of my Mk1 Cortina estate with amp and bass just right! 2 weeks later I was back in town buying another HiWatt 100 to push even more air through it 😮 Those really were the good ol' days, then in '75 I got married, '76 it all came to a bitter end, I had to give up gigging, she couldn't stand the lifestyle of a bass playing rock 'n roll hero, you've heard it all before 🤩

You're dead right, all these parts are becoming harder to find here and yes, I have everything in stock 😊

Hendrix for me too, maybe it's age related, saw him a few times live, long before anybody had even heard of Prince 😎 Playing 1983 a merman I should turn to be just a few minutes ago 🎸

A impuse buy I have to admit, as soon as the advert came up I grabbed the necks, a good start to a new project. A pleasure to deal with, very easy transaction and very pleased with them, arrived today. Cheerz, John

Ere i iz 😂

Mark got in touch re a loom to liven up his HB, I obliged 😊. Great communications and instant payment, a perfect transaction, pleasure to deal with. Cheerz, John

You probably need a shim in the neck pocket, but remove the neck and first see if there is one already! If there is at the bottom end, nearest the pick-ups, take it out. If not then fit one at the top, furthest away from the pick-ups. Try something about 10/12 thousandths of an inch to start with, like a piece of a business card. HTH, John

Find out what sizes Allen keys you need for your bass/es, are they Metric or Imperial? A couple of screwdrivers that fit what you want, a small adjustable spanner, strings, string cutters, small file, spare battery, spare lead, mini tuner - pretty much covers everything 😎 Far more use than a cheap 'multitool' I reckon.

Armchair diagnosis practically impossible, other than dry joints I dunno! Have you got a illuminated magnifier or microscope? Good luck

to give an alternative tone cap value, as just two options would be enough for me 😌 @Nodd, @Greggo, Hi guys, Yes I do a simplified - but adequate and very affordable version 😎 4 position rotary switch, fits in a 3/8" 'pothole' and gives you; 1 Kill, 2 By-pass, 3 33nF, 4 100nF Other cap values can be used, but those give a good differential and I think cover most needs. Solderless installation, screw terminals, can replace a tone pot, standard P-bass knob fits or Chicken Head. PM me if interested please. Cheerz, John

@glassmoon, you have a PM. I have these in stock. Cheerz, John

Bloody foam! I took a gun out of it's case today only to find the cylinder, (it's a revolver), stuck up with degrading lumps of the bloody foam - that's supposed to be there to protect the contents!! Makes my p155 boil 😠 At least my bass cases have a nice finish friendly, (I hope), furry lining over the foam.
