Thank you all, hugely appreciated. I honestly don’t trust myself with superglue, I’ve tinkered with most removable parts but have had enough DIY disasters to think it’s sensible to save the bass from my ministrations and look to a local luthier 😂 I have also been on a rummage of the front room floor today, and (between three Labradors and big cracks between floorboards) have not found the pinged-off bit. Really appreciate the recommendation for a specific nut, and all input tbf, hugely appreciated and next time a bit wings off I’ll go looking for it immediately!

Hello! Greasing the fretboard on a 1986 MIJ 1962 jazz bass reissue and the edge of the nut flew off. No harsh treatment, gently moving the E string in, off it went! I’m looking to replace it, will get a local luthier on it, are there any considerations here? Fender only sell one JB nut (will this fit any / all JBs?), would this fit, anything beyond “get a nut in there” that should shape any replacement? Cheers!

Stopped by his gaff in Leeds to pick up a half-tonne of Buzzard (in three-quarters of a tonne of case), not quite a shop as such but a very lovely space. Agree with Prowla, definite need to make an appointment in advance.

Ftr I am currently in the gym.

I don’t want it. She doesn’t want it. She’s put it in her basket. I’ve got it in mine. It’s got to the point where if she thinks I’m going to the gym, she sends me this link. Can someone spare us this insanity and buy it, cheers. https://reverb.com/uk/item/84581281-fender-japan-rare-2012-hollow-body-walnut-thinline-jazz-bass-mij

I would absolutely ruin the installation of that 😂 looks like some precision needed!

Wow, zooming in on that carpet corner a lot 😂 Greatly appreciated. I’m a sniff from gear4music atm, may go and look!

Good afternoon! I have this very morning collected a heavy, long bass. Asymmetrical, I want to say 45-46" base of headstock to furthest asymmetrical point, bit shy of 5.5 kg. I would not mind this being out of its case occasionally, e.g. in the front room by the amps with easy access and not strapless in its quarter-tonne atomic survival case in the hall. How is this easily doable? It's too asymmetrical to work on a conventional bass stand (tbf only the ones I've tried, I might be able to get it to work with some form of stand somewhere around here, initial indications are 'no'.) It's too long for the headstock stands I've seen (e.g. Hercules tap out at 42-43". Won't work.) I'm somewhat wary of a wall hanger, as I've yet to drill my walls (for hangers at least) and this feels like quite a chunk of weight to be putting on one. I also don't like the prospect of a free floating bottom? Not because of exposure / headstock weight, but because some hooning lump of a dependent will thunder into it or cause a massive gust of unexpected wind and clunk the bottom against the wall. So, yeah. Any thoughts welcome! Picture not mine but of the very bass. Cheers!

Put that next to a cybertruck, I doubt most people could tell which was which 🏆

I've had DHLs not appear until they were almost out for delivery. Most recently on my partner's (late-ordered) birthday present, which caused me quite a bit of panic 😂 Glad to hear it's appeared!

Ok right. I was thinking “what I thought 2+2 headstocks were fairly common on Spector basses in fact don’t I have one upstairs?” 😂

It’s the actual batshit string winding and not the headstock then 😂

You don’t mean like this?

Switches back to an EB within a couple of pics, must be a secret double neck!
