Annoying Twit Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/5-string-bass-project-Rockers_W0QQitemZ120329914546QQcmdZViewItem"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/5-string-bass-projec...6QQcmdZViewItem[/url] [quote]This is a 5 string bass made by Rockers, the guitar shop in Denmark Street, Central London. When I bought it it had a very thick neck so I used a plane, file, electric sander and varnish to reduce the width. It is slim now and this procedure did not reduce the stregth of the neck. (It made me wonder why it had to be so thick in the first place.) My filing and sanding was pretty good though not perfect so there are a few bits (difficult to photograph) where you can see a file has been (you certainly won't get a splinter!). However the next buyer might wish to sand it down even more to make it even smoother.[/quote] Only £60 BIN. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I presume that the shop just put their moniker onto a standard OEM thing. Still, it is very cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waynepunkdude Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 The neck looks like it's already starting to 'banana' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
