Report it as dodgy.

Good luck!! I'll leave well alone

Gumtree Edinburgh - quite tempted by this myself tbh - must resist ... http://www.gumtree.com/p/for-sale/squire-fender-50s-p-bass-second-hand/1064034464#photo-content "[color=#666666][font=verdana, arial, sans-serif][size=3]Fantastic remake of a vintage classic by Squire, the official sister company of Fender. [/size][/font][/color] [color=#666666][font=verdana, arial, sans-serif][size=3]This plays really well throughout the fret range. No buzz, intonation is bang on, the action is excellent, it sounds as a Fender does, and has been really well set up - better than factory! Its simple electrics are totally up-gradable if you want. Its got a weird mad custom scratch plate giving it a bit of a Punk vibe. The origional plate is clean and white. [/size][/font][/color] [color=#666666][font=verdana, arial, sans-serif][size=3]Through a valve amp it sounds totally awesome for a passive circut, and it can be inproved with p-up upgrade from Seymore Duncan or somthing. I just don't play it anymore, coz my other basses are my favored sound. Its sound is responsive to all styles of playing too. With a pick it really stands out. It has a 4 saddle bridge, not the vintage 2. [/size][/font][/color] [color=#666666][font=verdana, arial, sans-serif][size=3]Price is NON NEGOTIABLE. If you want me to send it to you, I'd have to charge extra for P&P, and that varies. I'd prefer to meet and seal the deal by face, just so bass is not damaged. [/size][/font][/color] [color=#666666][font=verdana, arial, sans-serif][size=3]I may be persuaded for part exchange for a good old usb external sound card for linux/mac/pc (and proof it works) though.

Here's the interview with planetmosh , it's audio so you can have a listen to the Falkirk boys flying the Relay Flag - translations available on request ( [size=1]not really)[/size] http://planetmosh.com/bc-bass-relay-inteview-with-charles-tibbles-donald-campbell/

I'm happy to report that the Relay bass is now in the safe hands and loving arms of Si600 who will be accompanying her to the Midlands Bass Bash this Saturday [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/228206-midlands-bass-bash-2014-100514/"]http://basschat.co.u...sh-2014-100514/[/url] Before leaving , myself and Charlie-T bid her a fond farewell on Sunday -- The Girl is Mine etc!! I was asked to have a bash - so I did, and rather enjoyed it. As did Charlie - Calum seen here on guitar also played The Bass on quite a few numbers, which was used for the whole gig. And.... we were interviewed about The Bass Relay by [url="http://planetmosh.com/"]http://planetmosh.com/[/url] . I think it's fair to say neither myself or Charlie are hardcore Planetmosh kinda guys - however they were genuinely interested in the Relay , the background to it and future plans - article will likely appear soon. Many thanks to all involved in the Relay's (2nd) Scottish holiday. All the best and good luck to all involved the future, in whatever shape or form. Oh, and perhaps most importantly- ENJOY!!

Just to let folks know that the Relay bass has been delivered to Si600 in good time for Saturdays Bash

Agreed, I had a look to see who it was but couldn't find anything. I'm pretty sure its the same baseman and guitarist he's had for a while. I like his groove and the bass is pretty prominent.

Charlie T posted this in events and I've taken the liberty of re-posting it here- [color=#282828] "Some pictures on Facebook of my trip to Islay with The Tonkerers and the Purple Princess. After getting off to a good start with a healthy collection of not far off £40 at a fairly quiet Falkirk gig we were hoping to raise a good sum on Islay. Unfortunately the trip turned into a bit of a painfull learning experience for us as the event was being promoted on our behalf and very little on the ground promotion had actually been undertaken. Galling as we not only personally lost about £450 on the trip but heard countless times next day that we had put on a good show but nobody had known anything about it in advance. We could have done remote publicity ourselves with local contact points easily identifiable via the internet. With the benefit of hindsight we now know how keen local shops, b&bs and self catering establishments are to know about local events and happy to display posters and circulate flyers etc.The local shops are even happy to arrange ticketing - again that had been the original plan but it hadn't been put into action. Our Islay collection generated the princely sum of £9.99 - most of which was donated in the pub! Sob story over! The Tonkerers have a final stint with the Relay Bass this Saturday at The Butterfly and the Pig West in Glasgow. Will fill you in on how we get on!

You might want to check that map - thanks to Lurksalot

Hopefully it'll come your way at some point Milty I think there's still 2(?) unopened packs of strings in the case - I'll check when i get it back There have been a couple of gigs lately - details on Facebook page - including one on the beautiful Isle of Islay. CharlieT will likely update on his experience - here however is a taster ....

Thanks for the replies - it just started happening. I mean " [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]when you turn it up (part way) it goes off and when you turn it up further it comes back on" which is a much better way of explaining it than I did ![/font][/color]

The volume pot when turned fully off still has loads of volume, when turned up it goes off , turn it up again it comes back on. Any suggestions? I had a look underneath , all seems in order, took pot off & put it back on tightened up the screw, but despite these efforts the problem hasn't disappeared...
