Bootiful Agree with Lozz about the scratch plate, I have a Fender Custom Shop Pearl that should have fitted straight on my AV '57, but not all the holes lined up perfect, it wouldn't lay flat. Uncle Horrid does make lovely plates, he's your best bet for a quality replacement. Cheerz, John

Yes they work & I've had no problem with 2 or 3 different models on different basses. Not sure which will suit the Warwick, go to Hipshot.com for the full range. I've never paid £95 for one though! Cheerz, John

Fender serial numbers what's the next 2 digits after 10? If you want a definite answer take the neck off & see what dates are on the heel &/or in the pocket. Cheerz, John PS You worry too much

Scalpel nurse! Sharp instrument to the scratch plate & mind your fingers, if you haven't got a Dremmel, got any files?

[quote name='BluRay' timestamp='1348861269' post='1819348'] What's the light thing? I want one! [/quote] With a name like your's? eBay 'blue LED strip' loads to choose from, simple 12V PSU or maybe power from a pedal board. I had to fit something to remind me the amp was still on, makes it harder to walk away without offing it Cheerz, John

Yes the overall shape/size/screw holes are the same, I've got both sorts of plate here. If there was a fifth hole it would be a 5 hole plate surely Cheerz, John Edit: I just read it again, you say 3or 4 knobs, I was thinking 3 or 4 holes

It sounds great! I wanted an 'electronic' option to the LB & thought the MiBass would do that job nicely - it certainly does!

I made up a wiring kit for Mark's old Jap Jazz, hope the restored beast beats again soon! A complete pleasure dealing with him, great comms & instant payment, no problems here, top fella. Cheerz, John

Stop worrying about the odd £2.5K & get a *BIG BASTARD* [url="http://www.dolphinmusic.co.uk/product/43132-ashdown-427-small-block-all-valve-head.html"]http://www.dolphinmusic.co.uk/product/43132-ashdown-427-small-block-all-valve-head.html[/url] You know you want to

[quote name='charic' timestamp='1348747470' post='1817645'] One of the TC amps and use the DI? No cab needed and sounds epic [/quote] Help! I don't understand 'we' spend huge amounts of time & money getting the 'right cab/s' (not to mention anything else for now) for 'our sound', then you say "No cab needed and sounds epic"? How does that work? I know what you mean about the DI but what if the system you're DI'd into is crap? Are they all so good?

[quote name='Evil Undead' timestamp='1348695350' post='1817172'] Hmm. I can see this is not going to be an easy choice basically I need to cut my rig size and weight down by a lot without losing much volume. I use a 4ohm markbass 2x12 currently which isn't that heavy for you blokes but to a short lass with back trouble who lives on the top floor it's very heavy [/quote] It is an easy choice - it's your back - your one & only back, look after it while you're still young get a roadie

'Snot!

Amazing Beach Boys - 50 years on Muse Madness then Johnny fekin Lydon - WoW so far!

Always good to hear a good news story & that just goes to show Clarky is a diamond, one of the many true gents around this place. Well done Clarky & thanks for the post Jamie, best wishes for your situation continuing to improve. Cheerz, John

Like it - good luck if I was 20 years younger LoL

Looking GREAT!

I always thought that

The gear4music rack looks the same as the Chord, I did a review on the 5 [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/109562-chord-5-bassguitar-stand-rack/"]http://basschat.co.uk/topic/109562-chord-5-bassguitar-stand-rack/[/url] still in use & still as good as new, just a bit dusty TBH

This shows the 'spare' length above the nut on my AV '57 P - the A measures 70mm of usable before the purple silk [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v48/kjon51/Fender%2057%20Precision%20Bass%20American%20Vintage/22082011836.jpg[/IMG]

[quote name='apa' timestamp='1348222357' post='1810994'] Hows that for a niche market!! Im desperate to find a set of Half or Ground or Pressure (What ever you want to call them) wound 5 string set but in extra long scale. When I say extra long I mean a voice length of 38 1/2" or 980mm (Ball to Silk) I did buy a set of Status half wounds but they are too short by about 30mm. These are for a fretless. Or if anyone knows who can make a set. Status will but theres a minimum order of 10 packs!! Newton only do round wounds (Although they are planning on custom flats in the new year ) There is the option of extra long Chromes but they are about £50. I do know that GHS (My prefered brand) do the ML720-5 Pressure wound but not sure they will fit. I have seen thier ML3075 Brite Flats mentioned as extra long sets and in 5 string packs but cant find them anywere for sale. Help please!!! A [/quote] I don't suppose it's any help but - GHS Precision flats - say on the packet 38" same with the Black Nylons so I suspect the Groundwounds will be the same.

The head doesn't look right, I'm sure the machine heads don't come that close to the edge of the head stock on a real Fender

[quote name='Mr. Foxen' timestamp='1348057675' post='1808591'] Tried clearing your cache and stuff. Ebay cocks about a lot with that. If someone has entered a higher maximum bid, it will just show as outbidding you by a bit every time you bid, because that's how ebay works, it doesn't go right to the maximum unless it needs to. Also listings can be madeprivate so bidder IDs are hidden, but I don't think it shows up like you describe. Edit: Also my currently bidding list constantly rearranges itself according to ebay's whim, sometimes it includes finished items, sometimes it doesn't [/quote] Yes you're right - but this isn't telling me I'm outbid, it's telling me to enter a bid higher than the current. [quote name='Ruiner' timestamp='1348060902' post='1808660'] +1 It would only show a bid from you in the bidding history if you have a 'sucessful' bid, i.e. one that is higher than whatever the current highest bidder's maximum bid is. [/quote] No it usually shows up in the 'show automatic bids' but this isn't. [quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1348063290' post='1808715'] Hmmmm ... that's not my experience at all. If I find myself bidding against someone who has placed a MAX bid of[b][color=#0000ff] £100 [/color][/b]but their bid [i][b]currently [/b][/i]stands at [b][color=#0000ff]£50 [/color][/b]then my new bid of [color=#ff0000][b]£55 [/b][/color]will appear in the bidding history while his apparent [color=#0000ff][b]£50 [/b][/color]bid will have become [color=#0000ff][b]£60[/b][/color]. If I then place a new bid of [color=#ff0000][b]£65 [/b][/color]then that will also appear in the bidding history (so everyone can now see that I have placed two bids) while his apparent [color=#0000ff][b]£60 [/b][/color]bid will have become[color=#0000ff][b] £70 [/b][/color](so everyone can see that he has only placed one bid). Sounds to me like there's something odd, either with your end of this bidding, or with eBay. [/quote] Exactly!

[quote name='Longmayyourun' timestamp='1348081184' post='1809086'] Do you think there's a bass player on the production team at the one show? Last week Pino, this week Mark King - great stuff. And didn't they both come across as nice blokes?
