    Death to all but metal.

    Was asked if a standard fender neck would fit on this body. Seems to be one fret longer than a standard fender neck. you might have to move the bridge back a little bit to compensate, but there looks like there’s more than enough room. You might be able to see the side screw holes though. Although there might be enough adjustment in the bridge saddles to allow you not to have to move the bridge back.
  3. Sharkfinger started following Nordstrand Big Splitman pickup & John East MMSR preamp - *SOLD* and Harley Benton MB-4 - Project/Spares - *SOLD*

    Bought for a project that I lost interest in. In almost unmarked condition, with a really nice wood grain. Has also had a battery box routed out and it looks to have been done professionally. these are out of stock at the moment on Thomann and if you are looking to buy one simply to upgrade it, this is a good alternative. current weight without electronics is 3.5 kg Will be shipped with the neck removed to keep costs down. I put some strings on to give it a quick test and the neck seems fine, but I can’t guarantee anything as I’ve not finished it. Personally, I think the price of admission is worth it for the body alone. £75 delivered to mainland UK only or picked up for discount

    Upgrade your musicman style bass. Norstrand big split man 4 and John East MMSR4 knob three band with Bell plate. The bell plate apparently drops straight into a music man Stirling or OLP bass.q New, this combo would cost you about £430. £250 delivered to UK only, or collected for discount bought for a project that I lost interest in. only trade option would be a sterling ray 34.

    I read the title and thought you were just gutted to be selling it...

    Intentionally. If I understood correctly, they wanted to grow beyond their post-punk / new wave niche (which is my favourite stuff of theirs) to have a wider appeal, which meant breaking the American market. Personally, not a fan of the stuff after Unforgettable Fire other than a couple songs off Joshua Tree.

    They did a great job matching the grain on the back.

    Wow, if it could only talk.... bet it could tell some great stories.

    I'm sure I just got unlucky, other reports are that they're great so don't let my experience put you off @Marc S. You've nothing to lose if you buy new. Just don't get a b-stock from gear4music in the next few weeks/months I actually don't mind the logo (though it's a bit hard to read the writing) and the headstock shape is really nice.

    Maybe with a good set up (i.e. frets levelling as well) but I've been burned badly with this kind of stuff before so I'm just not getting involved. That's the good part of buying new, especially online, you can just return it and not argue too much why it's a lemon.

    Well it arrived and I must say I like it more than I thought I would, nice metallic sparkle to it. Lightweight too, but with a bit of neck dive. Didn't measure it but nut width definitely wider than a Jazz. _Really_ nice satin neck, frets ends well finished. Now the bad parts: action was obscenely high. When I lowered it by two full turn (and still too high) frets started buzzing here and there, despite there being more than enough neck relief and nut slots not cut particularly low. That rung alarm bells for me, so I've packed it up and started the return. Shame.

    I appear to have accidentally bought one of these. Not sure how that happened. 🤷‍♂️ Joking aside, not crazy about the colour. Hoping it looks better in the flesh, so to speak.

    Love that satin finish and pickguard are great. Hell of a lot of bass for the money. Really regret returning my blonde P from this range.

    Just over 17 Kg https://www.markbass.it/product/cmd-102p/

    On of these (the TM version) has been my weapon of choice for well over a year now. A wonderful sounding instrument, and about as light as you're ever going to get with a traditional style bass.
