[quote name='Green Alsatian' timestamp='1331032829' post='1566493'] If he refuses to sell it to the highest bid, he'll end up with a negative feedback from the buyer and will still have to pay the 9% final value fees. Could be expensive for him if it sells for £500 and he wanted nearer £1000. He should really have covered himself with a reserve price, so that he can walk away if the highest bid doesn't meet it.

[url="http://www.e-sue.co.uk/recent_work.htm#"]Read less[/url] Our client won [url="http://www.e-sue.co.uk/docs/eBay_ad.jpg"]this French dining room table[/url] from an eBay seller for just £51.00, which was actually worth over ten times this amount. The seller refused to part with the table and refunded the £51.00 via PayPal, telling our client to sort his problem out with eBay. Instead e-sue drafted county court proceedings for the loss of bargain suffered, which the eBay seller defended vigorously. The court ruled that the winning bid created a binding contract between seller and buyer, and that the seller breached her contract by refusing to allow collection. [url="http://www.e-sue.co.uk/docs/eBay_Judgment.jpg"]Judgment for over £650.00 [/url]was awarded to our client for the loss of bargain suffered. However the eBay seller refused to pay, so e-sue then prepared to take a second charge over her home, resulting in an immediate bankers draft for the full amount. [/quote]

[quote name='umph' timestamp='1330994119' post='1566162'] this one should just be the end one i'm happy with [/quote] This totally happens with gear.

A good cheap bass. which are pretty good these days. Think the one I had was bit of a Friday job, but nothing that couldn't be sorted easy enough.

These are the jobs I have: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/4-STRING-BASS-GUITAR-BRIDGE-INDIVIDUAL-CHROME-/270925321392?pt=AU_Instrument_Accessories&hash=item3f146854b0

Few bridges have blocks in like that, and one of same width will work. What is the width, see if the ones in the monorails I have will work.

Matsumokus tend to have multi part necks, so not sure it is.

I'm thinking U channel with just the frets crossing it, and the truss rod exposed, kind of like a sitar, but a 5er would basically be dependent on the 4 string being successful, and its not even something I've done more than talk about with the relevant metalworker in passing.

[quote name='Jumanji' timestamp='1330980643' post='1565852'] I don't follow.. I'm new to this type of thing. (forums). [/quote] Should have said 'Sticky', actually marked 'pinned' with a green box, second topic down on this forum: http://basschat.co.uk/topic/73234-tonewoods/

I know a guy interested in making a metal guitar body, he is a bit of a genius with shaping sheet metal. I'm poking about for the investment to make a Fender heel compatible alloy neck cause I think it would be cool and have the facilities to make it.

[quote name='Jumanji' timestamp='1330979826' post='1565821'] .. and surely a heavier wood has benefits in sound quality? [/quote] There is a stick at the top to stop people saying things like that.

Get a Matamp instead.

Threatening places you still want to use isn't the way.

When you say 'digital amp', do you mean 'class d amp'?

The blocks on the Jazz one were stick on.

Changing pickup height is the standard way of balancing pickup volumes, it isn't the exact same effect as changing volume control though, becuase there's a bit going on electrically.

Got anywhere else to go?

Someone hasn't got the idea or keywords in the title.

If this is for this: http://basschat.co.uk/topic/169747-filling-pickup-route/ you don't need guitar specific bits of wood.

Any easily workable but seasoned wood is fine, as in one that isn't going to shrink or something, well amtured scrap wood that hasn't been damp or anything. Try and follow the grain direction in case is does shrink some, it will look better. Dowel is just round bits of wood for the purpose of filling in the gaps for the screw lugs, much easier than carving a piece to shape. Rounding the hole square is quite a task and generally taking wood off the body is to be avoided. Doing that would be advisable if you weren't having a solid colour and has to avoid seams.

If you are spraying a solid colour, doesn't matter so much as it will cover a multitude of sins. Slice up a chuink of woo and some half dowels, glue into the hole, sand it roughly flush, fill the holes with wood filler, sand it all flush. Or if you want to change the balance you can hide a hole or weight in there. Probably not ideal position, but its there.
