    [quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1440323325' post='2849769'] Make that three - unless one of you owns the one I used to have. [/quote] Indeed. Thanks for the info - I've not picked either one up for quite a while.

    I assumed it would be 42mm nut, given the single P pup of the "classic" Blazer.

    Indeed. I have a Duke and an Alien, and both have aluminium necks. (Which I suppose proves only that [u]one[/u] Alien has an aluminium neck... - if I find time I'll dig it out and see if the neck is marked in some way, it's possible that the Alien neck has been replaced with a Duke neck )

    Quite pretty, though it's a bit elaborate for my taste. Also, I am a bit suspicious of that lower horn. I reckon that might be uncomfortable to play sitting.

    [quote name='ahpook' timestamp='1440256544' post='2849405'] I've always been put off by the tales of chunky necks [/quote] Me too. Also, I will never buy any item with "[size=3]SWEEET! LOOOOOOK![/size]" in its title.

    [quote name='Grangur' timestamp='1440218624' post='2849154'] That's fine. Nobody is saying he's a rogue. He may be misguided or mistaken. Or he may know something we don't. [/quote] I just meant he ought to be easy to get hold of if you wanted to ask.

    [quote name='Bassassin' timestamp='1440193433' post='2849073'] Could be, but I don't think it's an Aria, despite the "ghost" logo - or if it is, it's a bitsa of some sort. J. [/quote] Seller is a member here

    Not used them, but I have used Status Hotwires bought direct and that worked well.

    I have a set of Bartolini pickups (P/J) for sale. They were removed from a Satellite P-copy with a seized trussrod. Good condition. The P pup is labelled 8S (scratched into the base, 8S-S and 8S-N on the two parts). The J is scratched 9J-L1 in the same way. Pics here: [url="http://s1295.photobucket.com/user/alyctes/library/Bartolinis?sort=3&page=1&postlogin=true"]http://s1295.photobu...&postlogin=true[/url] Pickups working fine; two screws missing, no boxes. £75 posted in the UK, firm. Edited for labelling. Edited for pics.

    [quote name='ambient' timestamp='1439669613' post='2844906'] Best thing is to break the line down to one section/bar/riff/part-riff at a time. Even if it's just a couple of beats/half a bar at a time, get that bit right, then move onto the next bit, etc. [/quote] I agree, but don't move on to the next bit. Move on to the [i]previous[/i] bit. That is, learn it from the end; start with the [i]last[/i] section. That way, you are always going onward to a bit that you already know. So you avoid the trap of being able to play the first bit really well (because you play it all the time) but stalling on the second.

    If you put the revised price in the title or at the top of your first post you're more likely to get takers. Fewer people will scroll down to the end (Edit the first post, then click the Use Full Editor button to get at the title.)

    [quote name='Marc S' timestamp='1439303693' post='2841698'] Those of you who own one of these nice looking J&D's are the necks similar dimensions to a Fender Jazz?? Wish I could try one of these out..... They look seriously good value [/quote] Nut is 38mm on my bitsa. Apart from that, can't tell you - never played a Fender.
  24. alyctes
    I have no idea if this is legit or if it's a reasonable price. It's way outside my budget (currently less than zero). It is fairly close to me. [url="http://www.gumtree.com/p/guitar-instrument/1962-fender-jaguar-vintage-original-/1128852056"]http://www.gumtree.c...nal-/1128852056[/url]

    [quote name='JTUK' timestamp='1439317902' post='2841898'] Yep, ... but that is why you never let a gtr player pick a band [/quote] Or finger one. Ermm...
