bassmandan Posted October 18, 2007 Posted October 18, 2007 just turn it into one of these: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=4918&hl="]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=4918&hl=[/url] ..... obvious solution really!

OldGit Posted October 18, 2007 Author Posted October 18, 2007 Just to clarify. I want this to go all together rather than break it up myself. The pup surrounds are broken too I'm just looking to cover the postage and for it to go and have a nice afterlife somewhere rather than chuck it or cannibalise it.
MB1 Posted October 18, 2007 Posted October 18, 2007 MB1. Id have this, but to be honest i really dont trust the royal mail to deliver it without breaking it!.........Again.......and......again....and again and again!

bnt Posted October 18, 2007 Posted October 18, 2007 (edited) Pity you're not going to cannibalise it - I'm thinking of de-active-ating my Hohner B2Afl, replacing everything after the pickups, including the pots, knobs & socket. I've had problems with the active circuit I made years ago, to replace the rubbish original. Pickups are fine, and mine has 2 soapbars anyway, not P&J. It would cost a lot more to post the whole body to Dublin than just the electronics, though. Edited October 18, 2007 by bnt
queenofthedepths Posted October 18, 2007 Posted October 18, 2007 Aarghh that is horrible! If you're that keen to get rid of it, I'll be in Cardiff on Saturday so I could pick it up if you brought it into town perhaps? I'll give you £20 for it? I have to say I'm quite keen on the lamp idea

queenofthedepths Posted October 18, 2007 Posted October 18, 2007 PMed and sorted! Should have some pics of my new lamp around Christmas time, hopefully
MB1 Posted October 18, 2007 Posted October 18, 2007 MB1. Looks like queenofthedepths will be picking up the Steve Austin Bass then!
