Yup you wont go far wrong with a HH Stingray, Twice the fun as a single H (kind of) An I'm another one who favors a rosewood board over a maple, but have heard good things about them

Its a bit like comparing a 4 string to a 5 string, its a totally different animal and should be approached as such. Just check a few out an see what you think for yourself

Cant be bad ! Nice unexpected bonus ........ Here is the start of Dingwall #4 (I'm not joking

First bass owned = Crappy no name P copy (possibly a Kay?) Go to Bass = Either Stingray depending on what mood I'm in or what ever is nearer. My Bass = Buttercreme Stingray.

Cant find the link for the one i found in the UK, cant find the advert on ebay either so I'm guessing its either sold of been removed. Heres another link though, think its the same as the one i posted before but here it is again anyway [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/USA-FENDER-PRECISION-BASS-HEADSTOCK-LOGO-HARD-FIND-/230585300842?pt=Guitar_Accessories&hash=item35aff4776a"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/USA-FENDER-PRECISION...=item35aff4776a[/url] The postage is pretty steep though but might be worth contacting them an seeing whats what etc . An i no for sure that if you look on here under the parts for sale thread Grand Wazoo is selling off a few bits an pieces at the min an one of the items hes selling is a Bad Ass III think it is (might be a II ?) could be worth checking that out as well.

Another vote for bone

Very nice work ! It looks great !

OK was just taking a look for the link an found this, i no you have a neck sorted but thought id forward it anyway (or bring it to any BC readers attention) [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Fender-Precision-Bass-Neck-/270706287270?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item3f075a22a6"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Fender-Precision-Bas...=item3f075a22a6[/url] Cant find the original link i found but here another one, (don't know how they make it £30 for the postage, its coming from America not Mars lol) [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/USA-FENDER-PRECISION-BASS-HEADSTOCK-LOGO-HARD-FIND-/230585300842?pt=Guitar_Accessories&hash=item35aff4776a"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/USA-FENDER-PRECISION...=item35aff4776a[/url] There is another on on there, says its a genuine 70s one but thats like £90!!!!!

Nice work man ! its gonna look sweet when its finished ! (you probably have it covered but i was on evilbay the other day window shopping an saw some 80s style Fender precision logos on there, think it was about £6 take a look, think Ive got the link saved ?? let me no if you need it.)

Just thought it was a trick question as there is no wrong answer ???? Both !!!!

When i did the fret-less conversion on my Aria i used a two part glue, (something with a bit of give in it so that it wont dry totally solid and crack under vibrations of playing, truss rod adjustments etc) so would advise against anything like super glue to fill the slots it. Apply the glue, let it dry then carefully file it flush finishing with very fine sandpaper then give it a good lubing with some lemon oil to finish. Then all thats left to do is give the nut a bit of a cut/file to to get the action lower over the whole board, but play that one by ear, just because there are not any frets now its doesn't mean that you wont get a buzz if you go to low ! Good luck an have fun !!!!

When you expecting to receive it ?

Not bad !

Another positive vote for the Johnny Shred Freak, incredible value for money an works a treat with no unwanted his.hum etc so cant be bad !

[quote name='icastle' post='1124883' date='Feb 12 2011, 12:45 PM']Reading the description of that one it is a little bit reminiscent of the antique axe story. This is my great great grandfathers axe. It is an antique. It has only had three new heads and four new handles...[/quote] Think that about sums it up, Its a shame really cause from the photos it looked quite nice, never mind though hay !
