I don't have any EMG pick ups at the mo, but I believe they have fairly soft rounded edges so I wouldn't expect them to cause any damage

I wish I knew earlier I would have gone & had a look, went to Lidl earlier, nothing worth mentioning still spent £30 though Thanks for the heads up.

[quote name='Bassman Steve' timestamp='1359114048' post='1950029'] I gather this isn't actually one of the original basses - it is a copy you have built. Probably still very nice - I have speculatedf that the extra oomph in the originals is much to do with the slab body so I would expect it to be very nice. Get a price on the ad and I may well be interested. [/quote] Judging from this youtube vid, it sounds nothing like an original http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3b6M59ldtds or is it just me

I believe the other thread started in the for sale section but must have been moved by a mod, most likely because it doesn't comply with the rules.

[quote name='slab66' timestamp='1359212453' post='1951649'] A bit harsh! [/quote] [quote name='slab66' timestamp='1359212590' post='1951654'] Many thanks for your kind words. I just wanted to get some input on the build and nothing more. [/quote] You still take no notice of the rules I see if you're advertising it for sale you need to state a price, if you just want input you're in the wrong section.

How about: I really love that bass, it's colour is White Blonde - like your hair, it reminds me of you so much - it's a bit expensive but I couldn't liken you to a cheap bass could I? If I get it I'll call it Carole after you, it'll always remind me of you, I'll alway love it & look after it like I will you Sort of excuse - of course I don't know if it would work

If I was fitting a new neck I'd want to check it was lined up exactly before I drilled any holes. With tuners fitted, position & clamp the neck into the pocket. Then run some thread form the E & G tuners down to the bridge & check alignment before drilling, a little nudge in either direction can make all the difference, before you commit to drilling & screwing. Then proceed as in post 2 John

Yes the originals were great, I played Chris Kefford's slab back in the days when he & Roy Wood used to come down to his girlfriends house, which was where we had the basement set up for playing.

Hello slab66, If yo want to sell a bass you have to state a selling price or a trade value, it's not an auction site, it's in the rules. Is this the same bass that was on ebay, ended Jan 1st, removed as no longer available? Cos there's some pictures there [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Slab66-Precision-Bass-/281042634686?_trksid=p2047675.l2557&_trkparms=aid%3D555003%26algo%3DPW.CAT%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D33%26meid%3D4545094363388886081%26pid%3D100034%26prg%3D1031%26rk%3D1%26&nma=true&si=%252FrKq508ezmIUkOKO1KPg08GW%252B8E%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc"]http://www.ebay.co.u...cvip=true&rt=nc[/url] If so pray tell why it is now available again, on BC? If it's a different bass - ignore me Also - it's very simple to link to pictures on Photobucket or any other picture hosting site. Cheerz, John

Welcome to the lazy lounge, it'll be alright

Or open up the hole in the pickguard a bit in the right direction.

Ashdown Pie? ╥ What's that?

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1358614449' post='1942254'] Too expensive! Nice, though. [/quote] Yeah - at half the price I'd have had to think about it harder

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Fender-Jazz-bass-Pre-CBS-1964-/271140430240?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item3f213aa1a0 Nothing to do with me - just noticed it's in Bexhill - I'd love to see it but it's not cheap, I could end up in trouble What do you reckon?

Just had to watch all her youtube clips - brilliant playing, completely in the groove, versatile & lovely too

Is that the one with the broken pick up? If so I thought it was worth a punt, but then forgot about it

[quote name='pobrien_ie' timestamp='1358413250' post='1938572'] Cool..thanks for the link. Did anyone notice the ever so slightly odd nut width sizes on both Precisions? Is that period-correct too? I still think it's a shame the '57 and '62 are gone. [/quote] Hey Paddy, I just measured the nut on my AV '62 P & it's 1.765" or 44.83mm, so a little over the stated 1&3/4" even! Cheerz, John

[quote name='Cygnus x-1' timestamp='1358368059' post='1938044'] hi John, i'm after a nice tort plate, I see you got a plate from this eBay seller, what was the tort like?.....some tort plates look naf and uncovincing, yet some look great, i'm also considering the red/black marble. The Squier CV tort plates are not very nice IMO. cheers Nick [/quote]PM'd

Luke contacted me re a wiring kit for his P-bass, excellent comms, instant payment - a complete pleasure to deal with. Cheerz, John

We all need new seekers

Hey Tom, welcome aboard don't pop - it'll be alright

A great pair
