Back in the day I used to roll with Ashdown. My all ABM rig.... The halfwing logo indicates older design, fullwing newer build.

Monking!

Ceramic are you traditional guitar type. I don't know which "poly" ones they are referring to but.... Polyester caps are general, all purpose cheap jobs. Polystyrene are very accurate caps used in test equipment etc.. susceptible to solvents etc. Polypropylene are caps best suited to high quality audio applications. Polycarbonate again good for audio and have good temperature handling qualities.

Surely the strings will then me misaligned for the pole pieces.

It's been a while since I've held one but I imagine a Squier Bronco would be pretty light.

Some basses just have a lower output than others. My passive Jazz was like this, you just tweak your volume at your amp. Changing the pups or pre-amp will almost certainly have an effect on the tone it has that you like so much. Without know whether you bass has passive or active pups, you could try using a booster pedal.

I wonder if now would be about the right time to change the title of this thread?

Just fit a 1/4" jack and keep the original in case you want to sell it on again.

[url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=76729&hl=fret"]This[/url] might help mate. It doesn't matter which way round you have them but you have to have them both the same so they aren't out of phase.

You could always go for [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=95048"]this[/url] one

Bargain!

Should be fine for the TR cover.

Looking good. That's a very pretty cavity (insert bishop/actress joke ) It's best to get rid of as much as you can though Matt. You have no way of knowing how it will react with the next batch of paint, undercoat included. Did the previous (ahem) "painter" take it back to the wood or are there gold remnants like I found in the neck pocket?

I was always put off by their looks. Until I actually got to play one (a Tokai) and was pleasantly surprised. I don't think I would buy one though. I see that one of my all time bass heroes, Robert DeLeo has dropped the Schecters and taken to the T-bird.

Only seeing this from my phone but it looks good to me. Bargain if it is. Edit : need to train my phone to say "if" instead of "of" all the time.

As a nipper in the late '70s early '80s I was massively into the 2 Tone thing. These are a 2 of my favourite bass lines from then that I still fart about with today. simple but effective exquisite P tone

I make my own black ones but can't do the gold infills. I have a "one off" I need done and was going to contact a guy on ebay this morning who I've used before (theclash1968) but if it can be done through Basschat.... :brow:
