[quote name='Machines' timestamp='1335685087' post='1634483'] In which case the list is majorly off putting to anyone curious. [/quote] i think the warwick custom shop generally comes under 'if you need to ask how much, you can't afford it' !

[quote name='mushers' timestamp='1335541020' post='1632930'] you the man, those things have a million uses [/quote] i supoose king-size ones are for basses with very thick nuts... ...i mean, what else are they for ?

[quote name='rOB' timestamp='1335530623' post='1632713'] Yep, that works for me too. [/quote] it's what the switch is for...after all.

cool. nice to see the mixture rose to the occasion.

[quote name='rOB' timestamp='1335374476' post='1630171'] personally? I'd put as much work in as I could without compromising the rest of my life. [/quote] plus the one.

i don't turn on the radio to hear people talk.

[quote name='dogload' timestamp='1335179744' post='1626689'] At the risk of being accused of unwelcome thread resurrection, might I cast your mind back to 1990... something... The Tangier Flandria Hotel and Planet Gong's 'Floating Anarchy'? The Terror! [/quote] pales into insignificance beside the nik turner albums you brought along.

the neck pickup on a jazz is louder cos thst's the one you're meant to use. it's like a clue

[quote name='phil.i.stein' timestamp='1334777882' post='1621228'] Mastotron. ouch. [/quote] loved mine, but the settings of the sub switch either gave too little bass or far too much (sorry it's that's heresy !)

[quote name='waynepunkdude' timestamp='1334688390' post='1619863'] [/quote] buy this and stand a long way away from it.

is he practicing for a the next london bass guitar show ?

i wondering a very similar thing about my thunderbird pro - i've a spare glockenklang preamp and was looking at fitting it,but the attached boards are too deep

the article's worth it for this pic alone. archetypal "dad being cool" pose. genius.

[quote name='benebass' timestamp='1334389854' post='1615456'] I'd drop the Bass Doc a PM about the plate - he made me one recently for another bass & it's great! That was the bridge I bought - I think it's a copy of the Gotoh 301. The Westone bridge screw holes at the back are Fender spacing this bridge covers over the two non-standard holes at the front. Cheers, B. [/quote] right then - one bridge about to be ordered. thanks so much for all your help.

[quote name='benebass' timestamp='1334352865' post='1615201'] The chrome one looks good on mine. If you're into black then it would be worth having a 3-ply scratchplate made up - I did & it looks great! [/quote] just what i was thinking where did you get your scratchplate made ? btw - that link you posted - is that the exact model you bought ? i'm after the dimensions and hole spacing. thanks.

[quote name='benebass' timestamp='1334350138' post='1615155'] I swapped the original out for a [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HARD-TAIL-BASS-GUITAR-BRIDGE-THROUGH-BRIDGE-CHROME-/190584089110"]cheap Gotoh copy from eBay[/url] & it was a big improvement - perfect fit & much more solid. [/quote] i was wondering about a gotoh - i've got one on another of my basses and like them a lot, but they are pricey...so thanks for the tip. now...black or silver ?

[quote name='benebass' timestamp='1334346918' post='1615082'] It was that one - nice! [/quote] thanks i'm in two minds about the bridge - get a beefier one to help with the weight of the neck, or keep it old skool.

well, my bass arrived, but about 6pm - the citylink bloke said he'd been running late all day good luck to those still waiting.

arrived this afternoon - a lovely westone concord (sorry for the ropey pic - it's raining, so i couldn't take anything outside) bought this from t'bay last sunday as a birthday present to myself - i was surprised i was the only bidder, even tho it's a bit tarnished. looks 100% original, even perhaps the strings which were actually green - made me feel a bit pukey playing it ! so a brand new set of status strings went on, action lowered by a mile (may need truss rod work, but i'm waiting a day or two for that) sounds lovely - very p-bass. a bit neck-heavy, but so was my old westone thunder iirc. i may need to replace the bridge, as the allen bolts are so gunky they're hard to use. be a shame tho
