Thanks Steve,

I've fixed the Fender link and the one at Rane.

Can't find any site for bassguitarpartsdirect so I'm guessing it's gone - if anyone knows different then let me know.

Those ones don't - the ones on the main list (on page 1) do.

I often see requests for "what cable or how to wire" so I though I would put this here.

[/quote]I have used ESR many times and they are good. There are two things to look out for;

All prices exclude VAT and carriage.

They can substitute parts between purchases. I bought some quality Cliff Jack sockets from them and the next time the same part numbers were Amphenol. Unfortunately those were not if the same quality (although still good value).

They seem to have gone out of business.

I've always had good service and parts from
http://www.northwestguitars.co.uk/

Some of their budget parts, such as their cheap hi-mass bridges are pretty good too.

[Grangur]

I can't believe John K10GON isn't listed too.

[HazBeen]

A shout out to Adrian Maruszczyk of Maruszczyk/Public Peace. I ordered a replacement bridge and Noll preamp for my Bogart on his website on Sunday afternoon, the good man replied in the evening - and even corrected an error by vetting that I really wanted what I ordered - today I transfered funds by bank and sent him payment confirmation and he just gone and shipped the parts to me already!

Maruszczyk make great basses, AND provide great parts with a whole lot of service behind things.
