    Hello, I may be able to get some limited access to a CO2 laser cutter... is cutting a tort pickguard possible, or am I going to end up setting myself on fire? Thanks!

    Ah - my bad, never had a Dimarzio so didn't know! Good luck.

    You can just change the cover. Literally a couple quid from eBay.

    Well I have a pair of Dingwalls (a Super P5 and a Super J5), and I much prefer the string length to the Combustion I had before both in terms of playability (small hands) and tone (the G really sings at 32", and the B is still tighter than a Fender at 35"). Here's a clip I did of my Super J a couple nights ago (guest starring my Egyptian Mau, Chloë). https://www.facebook.com/JohannTingMusic/videos/10155003439092932/ Would really like to try one of the Maruszczyks. If he can make a six string fanned fret, then I'm REALLY interested.

    Well I didn't know they made these! Anyone tried one? http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/MARUSZCZYK_Elwood_4p_Multiscale_white.html

    [quote name='lastanthem88' timestamp='1484001096' post='3211930'] Very interested mate, after buying a black one similar. Would you do a trade for a Japanese 87 p bass special (think duff Mckagen!)? Thanks Steve [/quote] After something more vintage oriented really, but thanks for the offer. Available for cash too of course.

    PM replied. Had a bit of a play on this tonight, very tempted to keep it. Incredible bass.

    Bump. May be interested in local trades for more battered vintage-type P or Mustang type Fender basses (ideally nitro in vintage white, sunburst, or faded fiesta red a la Pino, with a tort guard) with cash either way for the right deal.
  9. therealting
    Pretty interested in this...
  10. therealting
    The question "Are they worth it?" also usually depends on the price premium (: £30 extra per pickup over stock import pickups? Probably. £200 extra per pickup over handwound Bareknuckles? Obviously not.

    [quote name='Grangur' timestamp='1483878961' post='3210759'] Nice bass. I'm thinking of dropping Photobucket for that reason. [/quote] I pretty much stop reading an ad now if it only has a Photobucket link. If I'm really interested I ask the seller to put an inline image in. This is stunning btw.

    Asking price is getting a little silly now, Lawrie!! I badly wanted a six string Jazz a little while ago. If this was a couple pounds lighter and an inch or so shorter in scale I'd be VERY tempted... Have a bump on me, pal.
  14. therealting
    Can't wait to see the photos of this...

    [quote name='DarkHeart' timestamp='1483829672' post='3210530'] Ok so Ive just taken the plunge!! Whats the Worst that can happen when you buy from Thomann B stock ;-) [/quote] Ok, glad you did. Was tempted to pick it up to compare with my Ibanez and Dingwall fanned frets. Seems crazy for £315!!
  16. therealting
    Reviews seem... mixed.
  17. therealting
    Where is it made?

    [quote name='jmlbasses' timestamp='1482538401' post='3201407'] [center]Weight 4.5Kg (9lb?)[/center] [/quote] 4.5kg is about 10lb. 9lb is about 4kg.
  19. therealting
    What was it?!
  20. therealting
    [quote name='natjag' timestamp='1483642201' post='3208997'] Is the sunburst what you have (or will) replace it with? [/quote] I have the sunburst now.
  21. therealting
    It's glossy but has that slight stickiness to it. To be honest if mine doesn't sell, I'll stick a Nordstrand in it and have it as a backup to my 61.

    CTS tend to be the pot manufacturer of choice, with Spragues being the capacitors.

    [quote name='Dancj' timestamp='1483616688' post='3208660'] That's all really super useful - I will deffo contact John and see what he charges. I'm hoping my dad will find the original but I have a fear it was just cast aside back in the day (he removed it for aesthetics but personally, never thinking he'd have a son that would ruin is career and then want his bass WITH the guard ...) If i get modern controls/pots put back on it, will John also be a good guy to go for? [/quote] Yup, I have CTS and spragues on two of mine.

    I'd consider a fanned fret instrument if you like the high C but find the tension causes tonal issues. My Dingwalls are 35-32" scale, and the 32" scale makes a big difference to the G and would make an even bigger difference to C strings.
  25. therealting
    I've played 5 with E-C tuning and now play B-G. Both are great for slightly different reasons. I still like six string.
