    Was the Rickenbacker neck pickup positioned at the magical 24th fret position? It woud be on the neck

    I'd like to test a few side by side in a shop and I'm in Central London once a week but can only think of the Yamaha shop and the Roland shop, are there any central ones that have multiple brands and testing rooms? I suppose a day trip to Andertons might be in order (I'll get sidetracked by the Bass guitars though!).

    Hi mate, I've sold loads! A neck will sell quicker if it has tuners as it can be a real PITA for the buyer to find which particular set(s) which fits which particular Fender/Squier model (and as I found recently they can often be out of stock in the UK also). Also money is tight, while you list the full Fender RRP, similar roasted maple MIM necks can be bought new from Amazon for not a whole lot more than you're asking. I'm not saying your neck's not worth it by any means, just that you might need to lower the price a bit if you want it to sell quickly (and re selling it quickly, you did only list it two weeks ago, this is a slow time of year, folks saving their cash for the Xmas onslaught). Also, unless you defo need cash, you'll often do better looking for trades/PX here 👍

    I was issued a Jazz version of this brand when I joined the RM Band Service. It was hot garbage, even for 1996.

    Have been unable to shift the Vintera P Bass Neck I had listed on here so I was wondering if anyone had any advice for selling a neck? Either on the forum or elsewhere? Want this to go to a home and to also recoup a bit of the cost of replacing the neck. I don't use social media so haven't looked on FB. Is gumtree a viable option? Any help or insight anyone has is really appreciated. Apologies if this isn't the right place to post.

    Thanks for your help. A couple of small holes on the head will go with the dings on the body. Its got a good bit of mojo already!

    I think you'll have some trouble finding a like for like replacement - they haven't used that style of tuner for a long time now. If you're lucky you'll find someone in the same position as you having already done a complete tuner change and have some spares they're willing to sell. But as usual with these kind of things it'll be a case of "right place, right time". As for replacements, depends how picky you want to be regarding the cosmetic results. I think you will be fortunate to find anything with the same screw pattern - later BBs (such as the BB414) used a simpler mechanical design (no adjustable tension collet thing) but look like they might have a similar footprint/screw pattern, but the buttons are a more traditional elephant ear versus the heart shape.

    I do indeed
  20. sbrag
    Yup. Completely snapped. A like for like would be great if I can find one but im open to a new set of Hipshot/Gotoh/Challenge etc. If needed. Ive been tempted to add a Hipshot d-tuner so maybe that and 3 new matching ultralight. Bass has had a life and is far from pristine but it's been my most played for over 30 years.
  21. neepheid
    Classic late 70s, early 80s Yamaha tuners. I have these on my BB1200 and SB500S. Overengineered to the nth degree. I take it the button has completely sheared off?
  22. scrumpymike
    I think that it's a question of how long the neck is left on the BBQ / in the pizza oven - whatever the heat source is. My understanding is that the full roasting process is necessary to achieve the stability benefits and that, by that stage, you're very close to ending up with a lump of charcoal apparently. Obviouslt the neck has then to be sealed in a way that stops any moisture getting back in. Can't remember where I actually read the above but I think it was in the course of researching Wilcock basses. I now have one btw but it looks like the neck has been cooked by somebody who eats his steak raw.

    Mmmm.... Now that is a work of beauty. Lovely amounts of usage. No showroom queen (in a really good way), you'd have no issues using this. Thankfully I'm completely skint but that's a great looking bass.

    Back in the days before cheap amplification upright players use to spend some time finding the part of the stage that they felt best amplified their instrument, usually a resonant bit of flooring near a reflective corner. I've occasionally found this can make a difference to me as the player, even in my music room there's a part of the wooden floor that's more resonant and the whole instrument seems to benefit, but whether anyone else can hear any difference is debatable. As @Jean-Luc Pickguard says, if you're standing on the same platform that's going to kill most of any resonance anyway (you could always lower the endpin and not stand on the platform however, this might be the best bet but would look odd!). Key question is do you want to hear the bass better yourself, do you want the audience/other players to hear it better, or both. I think a platform might help you, but will make little or not difference to other people's hearing it in anything other than a very small and/or quite room.
