Like me you only use a tuner n no other pedal so pedal board space isnt an issue....Ashdown Bassometer. I know im biased being an ashdown freak but i love mine. It repalce a cheapo no-nmae tuning pedal i had which in itself was the muts nuts but the ashdown is just so precise and could survive a nuclear war
Just managed to fcuk up my FOURTH waterslide decal on my project. At £10 a pop this is turning into the most expensive part of my project. Anyone know where i can just buy vinyl sticker type decals? Ive watched numerous youtube vids, followed all instructions precisely but they just either crease, rip or fold
Pretty kack handed frigger here in the middle of a P bass project (arent i always). Anyway, ill soon be changing out the electrics and pups for something better. However, the pickguard is only cut out for the smaller pots and im chucking in some CTS solid shaft efforts. What is the best way to 'open up' the holes to take these bigger pots? Im assuming a round file or something?
Mark just bought my Squier VM Telebass. Immediate payment and arranged a courier for time and date that suited me - actually Mark helped me get over my phobia of sending things via courier rather than 'collection only'. Good comms throughout, would have no problems dealing again. Enjoy the bass Mark!
What exactly is a Greasbucket loom? Is this a more 70's style loom than a normal loom? Only reason i ask is that im about to undertake a very similar 70's P Bass bitsa project and will be using one of Kiogons wiring looms but was just going to ask for the normal one, didnt realise there were variants. Sorry to hijack, have a free bump for a delicious bass
This is now sold. Thanks for all the interest and comments. Something very special trev, pics will follow but ive got my collection down to just 2 basses now - a lovely pair of precisions. Next in is a 6x10
Pics to follow but ive got the following cheap. Collection ideally but could post at a push:-
Westfeld P bass body. Black with black scratch plate. Few rashes but no chunks or anything serious. Wil come fully loaded with untested pups and wiring. Screws showing signs of rust and bridge could do with a clean. £20.00 collected for quick sale
Westfield P bass Neck. Needs new nut as only half of previous one left. Truss rod seems to work fine tho the alan key part seems quite far down in the hole of the headstock. Tuning keys are open geard and showing signs of pitting - £15.00 collected for quick sale.
Based in Didsbury, Manchester.
For a very short time i would consider somethin p shaped, black with RW board - mex fender or squier (decent tuners ideally rather than the piddly closed efforts) with money topped up either way. All other trades on hold st mo

Just used it for one last rehearsal. Sounded awesome through the studios VBA400 and 8x10. Will be gutted to see it go but this Ashdown 6x10 gas is not for givin up
Picato flats all the way and on everything for me. Had some of their halfs as well but wasnt overly impressed with the string to string consistency - the G sounded like a round, the D and A were lush and the E was just like a full on flat
Ill try and do a video. Sounds like a P-bass on steroids and fookin LOUD, nowehere near as muddy as i thought it would, even with the flats on. Like i say, if someone prefers i will restring it with pretty much brand new DR Fatbeam rounds

Awsome price if it stays like this. Id love that Ashdown head - anyone want the hartke cabs and fancy goin in on a deal?
Haha cheers MB1. Sorry forgot to update my ad before bumpin. The combo died a death so was given away and ressirected by a fellow BCer. Just wanted rid of the amp hence thought id chuck it in here.
