That's pretty nasty.

Today I finally collected the WAV upright I bought from Lawrie - delayed due to my illness. This is probably the fourth time I've traded with him, which tells its own story. Always one of the good guys. Thanks Lawrie!

Chinese PJ-fretless copy, with "Squier" clearly visible on the neckplate.

That rare thing, a good-looking Fender design.

The seller has provided pictures of the bass, and describes it as having cosmetic damage but fully functional.
Errr, no.
To be fair, it's possible he actually doesn't understand that it's not supposed to be like this.

I bought Jay's Bass Amplug. All as advertised, good communication, promptly delivered, sensibly packed. I'd be happy to deal with Jay again. Thanks

One issue that has been highlighted is how bodged the previous neck re-glue was and how 'out' the original neck pocket was built. I wondered why the neck appeared to have been glued in without being fully seated in the pocket - in other words glued to the sides but not even touching in a lot of the bottom of the pocket. Well that would appear to have been a bodged attempt to face the neck properly down the centre line of the body. with the new neck properly seated and its mating face at exactly 90 degrees in all directions the neck and the fingerboard (strapped on with tape for the test) point way too far over to the bass side f hole. The whole neck pocket must be out of true with the centre line. The solution is to plane and use a cabinet scraper to deliberately take the back of the heel down on one side - thus pointing the neck/fingerboard once more along the centre line.
If I read this correctly, the bass was never really a usable instrument before, with the neck being so massively out of alignment.
Therefore, you have increased the number of playable double basses in the world by exactly one. Kudos to you

Nice
I'm still thinking about getting mine sprayed pink.
And the Tbird, too.

I bought a bass from Stuart. All went well, good packaging, quick delivery. He is - as always - one of the good guys. Thank you Stuart

Bought some strings from Paddy. This is the second time I've dealt with him, and I'd be happy to trade with him again. Thanks Paddy

Yes it is. (I haven't managed to collect it yet, because I've been ill.)

Where is the truss rod adjustment? At the "heel"?

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 think I may have sold you this one?

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...
