    If you need to make some wall space 😉

    Wouldn’t pay that even it was a Modulus.

    Offers entertained in the near region of.

    Probably a wrong choice of words. I think you (I thought it was you anyway 😂) mentioned that it’s what some guitar shop employees may have done back in the day i.e. a little nudge to bring back in line. Apologies if it wasn’t you old chap x

    Well, it certainly could be that. I bought a not inexpensive bass some time ago to find the strings didn’t sit right across the fretboard. I was advised that the long standing method of dealing with Fender’s that suffered from this was to give the neck a good whack and 99 times out of 100, everything would come back into line. I believe @Chiliwailer may have pointed this out. I didn’t actually do that. I took the strings and neck off and reassembled - problem solved. Same method, just less violent 😂. If it isn’t that in the OP’s case, it could be the bridge, the nut, the saddles or a bit of all three. There are a number of basses in the Marketplace that have strings way out of true. There is one particular one that I really like, but the photos just don’t sell it to me. I don’t understand how there can be that many hi-res photos blatantly showing a bad misalignment in the hope that it will sell. It still hasn’t sold, so I guess the proof is right there. The first thing I look at on a bass that pique’s my interest is string alignment. If the photos don’t include a straight down the neck shot to the headstock showing that, then I either ask for one or pass.

    Strings not aligning with the neck but not necessarily be solely the neck. Did you take it off?

    Here’s the thread. It was months, but was out of warranty.

    Judging by my experience that was well before COVID, you’ve still got a while to wait.

    In my head, I’ve always thought the opposite of a Fender is a Gibson. I do like a Fender and I’ve yet to come across a Gibson that ticks any of my boxes.

    Here’s a little taster from the paint shop first thing this morning. He’s taken the green down to the blue and there’s just a hint of white showing through that. Really looking forward to the finished article. But for now, patience....

    It would have to be mint in a mint original case to get anywhere near that price. Even then I don’t think I would pay that for it.

    If that was the undercoat, I guess we can call this the overcoat 😂. It now has to dry our for a few weeks before moving on to the next stage. I love the way it’s looking both blue and green already.
  13. hiram.k.hackenbacker
    Do you have any more photo’s of this bass please?
  14. hiram.k.hackenbacker
    Undercoat now on as well....
  15. hiram.k.hackenbacker
    Off white primer is on...

    Great to see the before and after pictures and read the story too. Looks absolutely stunning. As you know, my J is with David at the moment and will be getting some paint this week. Can't wait.
  17. hiram.k.hackenbacker
    The body is getting some paint this week I’m told. Really looking forward to seeing the progress. I shall report back in due course.

    I would also encourage people to use the link function with a single word i.e. feedback rather than copy and pasting the URL and linking that.

    I bought this amp as a back up and I think I’ve only had cause to use a handful of times at most. It’s in great condition and full working order. It comes with its kettle lead and instructions, but no original packaging. If memory serves, I paid just under £600 for it and spent another £120 on the bag and footswitch unit (see receipt). The price includes insured delivery within the U.K. REDUCED TO £425 DELIVERED Here is the spec: FEATURES Ultra Lightweight 4 lb Design 500W/8 ohms; 900W/4 ohms Analog 12AX7 Tube Preamp High Current Class D Amp & SMPS 3DPM™ Power Management Circuitry Patent Pending P.H.A.T.™ topology Active EQ w/Parametric Mids Speakon® Speaker Outputs Variable Speed Internal Fan Cooling Full XLR Direct Out Interface DESCRIPTION Genz Benz continues its industry leading innovations in bass amplification with the SHUTTLE 9.2, 2nd generation of these popular bass amps, delivering 900 watts of power in a mere 4 lb compact package. The SHUTTLE 9.2 includes the addition of our proprietary 3DPM™ power management circuitry for overall increased headroom and thicker "heft" of the individual notes played. The 12AX7 tube preamp also features increased available gain for enhanced versatility from warm, articulate tone to all out aggressive overdrive.

    Apologies, I am stupid. I didn't get it.
  21. hiram.k.hackenbacker
    Won’t stay around long at that price.
  22. hiram.k.hackenbacker
    Ian Dury I think?
  23. hiram.k.hackenbacker
    I think I must have ignored that one already 👍
  24. hiram.k.hackenbacker
    LOL - dodged with thanks 😂
  25. hiram.k.hackenbacker
