I think Serial N9***** indicates 1999 - the N is Ninety, 9 is the second digit of the year abreviation, the 0 & other 4 numbers make up the rest of the serial. But I'm no expert photo's would help of course

That's very nice good job

Thanks for the update Sean, my very best wishes to Uncle H. for a full recovery - take it easy young fella me lad - & get well soon. Howard is a real diamond gent - I'm sure no basschatters will be hurt financially or otherwise during this recovery period patience is a virtue Cheerz, John x

What's your budget? http://www.juleamps.com/bass/monique.html very tasty

Another straightforward deal with Paul, he's everything you could wish for in a 1st class basschatter Cheerz, John

The only things I can see wrong with that - is the G string ain't wound on very well & the intonation probably wants sorting - Oh! & it's a leftie Edit: I notice it's "item specifics" class it as a right handed 6 string!

I made a Jazz kit for Stephen, great comms & instant payment, a pleasure to deal with, no problems. Cheerz, John

Both my lads are often up & about earlyish at the boot fairs this time of year. I am always saying " If you find any Fenders for a tenner or so - - - " Guess what my youngest came up with today!

I would just open up an area under the wire & channel it as required as you say, then mount on foam for adjustment - assuming screws with springs weren't supplied with?

Great score Rick 'tis a wunderous thing to play I'll bet!

Gareth got in touch for some new innards for his Mustang, great comms & instant payment, a real pleasure to deal with him. Cheerz, John

[quote name='JapanAxe' timestamp='1402854350' post='2477280'] No they are a different colour. *shambles towards coat rack, hiding face in shame* [/quote]I have to agree as I haven't tried them yet - but they feel good 'Doctor' I don't know anything about the N's either - the Whites are T's though

Just to level up the colour balance I've got a set of the LaBella White Nylons not fitted yet but destined for my fretless Fender Jazz

[quote name='badboy1984' timestamp='1402655844' post='2475664'] Is a Trace Elliot by the way lol. [/quote]Woops! Yeah same same

There's a great little Ashdown Boxer 65 in the for sale section, it might not have all the bells & whistles but they're a bloody good practice amp for just a few quid http://basschat.co.uk/topic/238201-trace-elliot-boxer-65-l50-suffolk/

I think we need to see pictures of the basses as well it might help honest Sounds like a good set of Jazzes

That looks ACE! Refreshingly different too Congrats

[quote name='EssentialTension' timestamp='1402156505' post='2470555'] We all must have been very very lucky. In 40 years of playing bolt on basses I've never even heard the problem referred to before this thread. [/quote] Same here - but put me down for 50 years next year - not a common problem I'm sure

If there's anything of special interest to anyone in my signature - I'll try & bring it along, I don't think there's anything special there - but otherwise I thought I would just bring a few examples of my wiring kits

The Bass Doc - on here may be able to help you out, drop him a PM

Hi Matt, Those CTS pots are the same that Fender use in their USA range basses so no point in changing them - assuming those you have are the same value - 250Kohms. That cap is a 0.1 Sprague which will certainly give you the fat dark tone when the tone pot is rolled back, shouldn't make it muddy though, you could do far more with your amp EQ settings than changing anything in your bass, although of course different pick up have different frequency outputs. Cheerz, John

Steve asked me to make a wiring kit for his old Westone revival project - great comms. & instant payment - a real pleasure to deal with. Cheerz, John

I wish I could work out how to do that with dropbox too

Get on the 'phone tomorrow to Ashdown technical, they'll sort you out without a doubt, probably be Dave or Mark - 2 nicer more knowledgeable about amps blokes you'll never meet
