  3. Thrillho_12
    Hi Folks, Really beautiful roasted maple neck built to 50s specs for Fender's 'Vintera' line - perfect for those who like a thicker neck. This Neck is in perfect condition and all the fretwork is immaculate. Unfortunately for me I find the Jazz style neck much more comfortable so I've swapped this one out. Neck Finish: Gloss Urethane Neck Material: Maple Neck Shape: Vintage "C" Number of Frets: 20 Nut Material: Synthetic Bone Nut Width: 1.75" (44.45 mm) Orientation: Right-Hand Full specs on Fender serial lookup using SN: MX21191736 Fender sell the same neck as a replacement neck new for £489.99 here: https://uk.fender.com/products/roasted-maple-vintera-50s-precision-bass-neck-20-vintage-frets-725-c-shape Worth mentioning here that the truss rod adjustment is placed at the bottom of the neck, staying true to the 50s design. If you have any questions or would like to see more pictures please let me know. Would prefer local pickup/dropoff in South London, but can discuss posting in the box that the replacement came in if you're really interested. Thanks

    That guide is brilliant. Thanks so much for uploading it. Tru Oil, Liberon and options from Crimson Guitars are all being considered and ideally, I'd like to stick with just the oiled finish and not add a gloss coat. Maybe just do a final finish with a wax. Just bought a gazillion sheets of numerous grades of wet and dry, plus similar for my Black & Decker mouse sander, which should save some time. Just getting the neck and bridge sorted so that I can put the whole thing together once the body is finished. Got a solderless Jass Bass harness (I'm useless at soldering) for the Aerodyne PJ pickups and have three neck options (cheapo Chinese maple/maple which is amazing for £60, standard '95 Mex Rosewood neck, or a Jazz profile maple/maple which is one the of older Northwest Guitars necks that still retains the Fender profile (newer ones differ), so will see which one works best with the finished body. Going to shield the cavities with copper tape so as soon as get the body and neck back from the tech guy I'll get started. Cheers

    Ok chaps, I'm going to get my '73 sunburst/rosewood/tort Jazz bass refretted. What is the modern equivalent wire these days which compares to what was fitted originally? Also, would you go slightly bigger, and what would you use if you did? Thanks muchly, Rob

    As there has been so much confusion, I've done four drawings of the options discussed so far...but just found out about Imgur stopping working in the UK. My whole Basschat portfolio of photos were on Imgur! No matter about that - anyone know/remember how to post an image (small jpeg) nowadays?

    What’s the scratch plate for? If it’s for the look then I can’t see why you wouldn’t screw it on. If it’s for protection, then you risk doing more damage by adding one (so why bother). If you’re going to keep the bass forever then do whatever you want. If not, but a bass you will keep forever (with a scratchplate maybe!)

    And I bought the undrunk cans (burp!) and left over half a chocolate cake (Mmmmmm....) at half the cost price so it went back in the kitty/charity pot.

    Thanks Daryl, was a hard one as the stage sound was very boomy but not so much out front. It was so boomy at times i couldn't hear the upper ranges of tone at all. I just put up with it and assumed i was playing the right notes 😂 Those G&L basses do have a lot of switches and variable tone EQ which is something i'm not a big fan off. I'm more a volume and tone control or like my Jazz basses with VVT or VPT set up. Just simple EQ and let the amp do the main work. On my Jazz basses i set my volume(s) and use the tone control for the different songs. I do like a humbucker sound tho and have been considering something new like possibly a Stingray but they are daft money these days. The G&L with the single HB in the middle is a nice tone too. The Sandbergs are great basses to play but i think their pick ups and pre-amps could be better but that's on another thread somewhere. Think with you using a pick you get that nice little click or edge on your tone and i really like that. Dave

    How do you find the DCX?

    You were sitting perfectly tone and mix wise in those videos. I'm still not sure I'm using my pre amp toggles correctly . Daryl

    Amazed the Shergold is light. The originals in the 70s were boat anchors as I recall.

    One more for the roll of honour: @police squad for providing the PA. It was really quite participatory this event, which is rather excellent on the part of all involved!

    The seller doesn't point out that this absolutely catastrophic bodgefest is a Hondo with the logo removed, not an original US-made Curlee. They maybe don't know - but now you do. 👍 I know - just me being a dork!

    Have to say i think your sound is very well produced assuming its the overall sound of the band you are talking about. I've seen a few of your vids now Daryl and the band sound is superbly balanced between you. Don't fix what isn't broken. The tone i use in the Glam band does vary depending on the band i'm covering but overall its not a tone i would choose if doing originals. I find it a bit dull with no edge to cut thru but it suits what we do. I switch on the amp "bright" boost for songs with lots of energy like Crazy Horses, Hellraiser and a few others but mostly its songs that had P basses on the original recordings. I like basses with a nice edge on them whether that's hi-mids or treble. From Geddy Lee to Glenn Hughes from Stormbringer era to the likes of Steve Harris from Iron Maiden. That famous Ric bass tone is probably my fav tone but i find Rics a little bit limited altho the new basses with the tone switch is pretty varied. (sure i've offended someone with that comment 😂) Dave

    Have you tried the vinyl wrap on its own, just cut to the shape of a plate and attached direct to the bass body?
  28. synthaside
    Yup , works a treat ... I had a jazz bitsa with a rather weird layout scratchplate and it was white on white pearl 😐 not for me ... wrapped it black worked a treat. From this To this

    We managed to earn enough off Spotify plays in one year to take the whole band out for a pizza, that, for me was as close to making it as I am ever going to get 😂
