  1. [quote name='tom1946' timestamp='1456504452' post='2989798'] How do you tell? I don't think so? help anyone? it has 22 frets. [/quote] .The scale is twice the distance from the nut to the 12th fret. (The bridge saddles are adjustable, so we don't measure to them.)
  2. Russ bought some tuners off me. All went well and I couldn't have wished for a cleaner transaction. I'd be pleased to deal with him again. Thanks Russ
  3. That's odd, I'll have to dig mine out and measure it.
  4. Possibly. I need to improve my playing, my reading, etc., and a group to do it would be good. However, I am a rotten player and nowhere near either of you gentlemen, so I am a little unsure...
  5. [quote name='JapanAxe' timestamp='1455282181' post='2977752'] I change my right-hand plucking position to adjust the timbre of the notes, but I had never thought about doing this on a string-by-string basis. ... [/quote] Me too.
  6. That is [i]ridiculously[/i] cheap... it's worth more than that for the pups! And the hard case. I'm surprised at the nut width. Mine's a treetrunk - one of the reasons it's under the bed feeling lonely.
  7. More pics of the back of the body than the front. Hmm. Though I suppose it won't show the dents... I don't know how easy it will be to clean sweat and other stage grot off it.
  8. Now I have GAS for a chorus pedal...
  9. Status Hotwire should be able to make a custom set. I'm pretty sure they will supply singles too.
  10. It's too gaudy for my taste. And so is the instrument. If I have it right it's a keytar with a mike on it. There is a whammy-style mechanism in it so you can wobble it about. The mike ouput can be treated by the electronics. The ergonomics look OK.
  11. I prefer the blue+white one, at least to look at. At least you can see what that looks like from the other side of the room.
  12. [quote name='mep' timestamp='1456171739' post='2986281'] There is always Gumtree. [/quote] And Preloved.
  13. Tuners sold separately. I am considering splitting the pup and plate from the body.
  14. If I understood the controls properly, it would be tempting... Good luck with the sale
  15. Close to pointless IMO, because it can't be played with a bow (needs a DB-type bridge and FB, which in turn means a DB-ish angle between neck and body).
  16. This is a pink 'Phil Pro' P-bass. It's a Chinese-made P-bass knockoff, badged 'Phil Pro' (according to the sale post, Phil has now quit importing guitars). It was bought new via eBay a couple of years ago, and has never been gigged, or even played much. It's new enough that the plastic protective layer is still on the scratchplate. Neck is a comfortable satin-finished P-style; nut is 42mm wide. Truss rod turns smoothly - it takes a 4mm key. Frets are fine - better than the J+D neck I have on a bitsa. Electrics work well. The finish is not perfect - there are minor flaws in paint and body - but the colour is more even than the Westfields I've had. It's not everyone's ideal colour, of course Weight is 4kg according to digital fishing-type scales. More pics: [url="http://s1295.photobucket.com/user/alyctes/library/?sort=3&page=1"]http://s1295.photobu.../?sort=3&page=1[/url] It would be fine as a backup, or for a starter, or as a base for a project. £100 plus shipping.
  17. "upper lower section" ...
  18. This sort of thing seems a bit pointless to me. How close does the audience have to be to see it?
