I bought strings from Lee.  All as advertised, prompt delivery, well packed.  I'd be pleased to deal with him again.  Thanks Lee

1960s, I guess.  The adjustment at the nut is not something I've seen before - was it a common feature at some point?

In what way is this not a Fender?  Or is the seller trying some sort of double bluff?

(Disclaimer:  I am not a Fender expert, no idea whether it's real or not.)

I bought a bass from Aled.  Nice bloke.  All as advertised and it would have been nice to have longer to chat.  I'd happily deal with him again.

Thank you and I’ve since found a few more…. Sadly my wife isn’t impressed! 
 

Next clearance will be the 20 or so Jazz and Precision pickguards…..don’t ask, please…. just don’t ask!
 

 

Have you found any sixes in there, by any chance?  I'm having project-type thoughts.

I can't look at the pictures. There's a "Cookie Box" in front of them, and I don't understand German...

The top option rejects all cookies.

The bottom one accepts all cookies.

I'd be more impressed if it was painted, not made of zebrawood.  Someone has not thought that through - "exotic" wood as a selling point, but then take most of it away.  Hmmm.

Hard to tune, I reckon.

Oooh...

What are we looking at?

The bass in the photos has a P-type pickup.

The "description" is 'One straight and one split single coil pickup'.

So yeah, the best construction I can put on this is that the seller is careless and lazy.

Oh dear.

Too far for me.  GLWYS!

Not far from me.  If he was asking £400 for it I'd have a look.

I bought a wiring loom from Alain.   Not the first time we've traded, and as good as ever - excellent packaging, quick delivery, good comms.  One of the good guys.

Thanks Alain.

One picture?!

I had to modify the neck pocket to accommodate the different scale length.

 

Can't remember if I put any shim in underneath to be honest! When I do I tend to be very sparing with it and let the truss rod and bridge do the bulk of the work. Plays great 👍

 

 

 

Thank you very much.  Any more pics?

That's gloriously bonkers

I'm going to hijack the thread briefly (sort of) and ask what the fit of body and neck was like (yes, I have a project in mind; yes, it might involve this body with a different neck).  Did it need any adjustment/shims, packing etc.?

Thanks!

I have to say, I admire your restraint.

I'm disappointed there isn't a model of a zeppelin included.

...ooooh.  

And a very very nice colour, too.

Looks very old-style Bass Collection to me.
