[url="http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/"]http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/[/url] After hearing on here that you can buy Fender 75 vintage jazz pickups separately, I went into a Fender dealership here in Edinburgh (Scayles) and they rang Fender UK on my behalf - I was then told that my best bet both price- and speed- wise would be to just order direct from a shop in the States rather than wait for them to get them shipped out! I ended up ordering on ebay from Homeless Dog Custom Guitars. Quote

I think we need a flashing light on that sticky - I'm really surprised to see it not mentioned earlier. Hmmm, I wonder if there's anything BassChat could do to improve visibility of useful sticky posts? Quote

[url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=35505"]This one[/url] in particular contains no useful information what so ever. Plenty of opinions and conjecture but little in the way of facts. When I view BassChat on my laptop there are now only a couple of forums where the pinned threads don't fill the whole depth of the screen and that's when running an ad blocker so I'm actually seeing more posts than I would normally.
