Ah yes, one of two working titles for a Pink Floyd album. I believe they chose the other one......

He must be running out of stuff to randomly stick onto his basses - this is the first time I've seen one with matching control knobs

Incredible work and result. Top darts all round

I've often wondered if this process was possible (seriously considered taking a forstner bit to the wood underneath a very weighty P basses scratchplate) so this thread is fascinating to me

Yeah I've often wondered that, he seems to have an allergy to matching parts up. Rarely have two knobs the same on any given guitar, nor pick ups. I'm surprised he doesn't do the same with the strings

...I cant seem to find the right size. I have a Fender Deluxe Precision Special which I use for my day to day frivolities and general musical gallivanting. I'm looking to change the hardware over to black for no more reason than I'm a bit of a tart tbh I've ordered 3 lots of replacement knobs from a well known auction site, but they're all to small to go over the pot shafts. The bass has 3 regular pots and one stacked, also a tiny little two way toggle switch. The shafts in question appear to be 5.5 - 6mm diameter across, anyone know where one might be able to source a more errrmmm….. girthy knob? Or four?

Paid £200 for mine....

Just received a bass from JohnR, ruthlessly packaged, the courier stood no chance - Mwahaha!!! etc Many thanks to John, to all else, deal with confidence

One of my fave basses is a £100 J&D jazz that I bought coz I like the colour, gets picked up more often than counterparts that are five times the price

Mind BLOWN! But id still buy the bass probably

Having waited for several years for IMO the most beautiful bass ever made to come up for sale, and not being sure it ever would TBH, then finding I had no money when it actually did and letting it slide for ages, only to finally end up with it my hands, Id say keep it. Its gorgeous, as an objet d'art its worth it surely

The reason my beloved TE GP12SMX had to go, and I was in my twenties at the time

Lovely! How much? Where from?

Combinata bass VII? Look more like a IV to me

Don't forget wiring holes/routes!

Hmm. Are we seeing the work of a certain BC member?

That bridge doesnt look like its in the right place to me...….

So what is the official name for the colour of that bass? Saw Derek Forbes play a similar one a few years back with big Country and wondered what it is ever since

Mine runs DR's as well, and yes sings like a singy thing.

Oooh I got one of these too, a very very capable instrument it is as well

Another J&D jazz here, bought from this forum, sea foam green with black hardware. I've slimmed the neck down a little and its a little cracker
