What about one of those little PJB combos? On a mount pointed at you if needed. You still have a cracking little amp for other uses then.

Blimey. Did he make them all on his own then? I always fancied a 4 string MVP PJ but they were never remotely in my budget.

It's stuff like the vid that really makes me doubt my "Precisions are crap" view. To the point that I bought one a little while ago, and yesterday bought another one. I am so weak. But - need 1 for flats and 1 for rounds, surely?

Mostly stage left. But I've also had a left handed drummer, so swapped.

When it gets here!

Or even invite them.

I think I may have found one...

No sandblasted on eBay. bah.

I forgot about them. I did like the look.

Looks nice, but a bit more than I want to spend. Black would be nicer too! And the moon on a stick!

As it says! I’m getting more into the P sound as I get old and crusty. If I can find an 8 pounder I might want it!

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a classic as light as 9.5lb. but I have seen even some 5 string Specials at 8.5

Bassdirect are getting me a set of 4 for £18 all in. There we go!

Bass Direct are making enquiries about how much they would be if they get some in stock.

Doh! I've got some of that somewhere!

I’ve sent them a message. Fingers crossed!

I assume that if the hole is 18mm the diameter of the bushing must be too. Regular ones are for 11/16 inch which is 17mm hole. So if your bushings are larger than 17mm that will be perfect.

Wow, thank you! The post is 1/2 inch. The bushing I need is for an 18mm hole.

Put one of these waterslide decals on then!

I've found a bit on the Hipshot website that sells thicker bushings. $4 each - bargain.... but $56 is the cheapest shipping option! I'll have to find another way!

There are 3/8 inch and 1/2 inch posts. I've got the large ones. As it happens I've been doing some more digging and apparently the do sell larger bushings - but it looks like I'll have to get them from the USA as nobody stocks them!

At least get some LEDs installed or something!

I've got some Hipshot Ultralites to fit to a P bass. The Hipshot bushing is a bit loose in the headstock hole. The Fender one is tight. The Fender bushing is just a push in item and the actual machine head is held in by 4 wood screws on the rear of the headstock. The Hipshot bushing has a screw thread and bolts to the machine head holding it in the hole. There is only 1 screw on the UL to stop it rotating in the hole.. I could use the Fender bushing with the UL machine head but they would not screw together meaning that it would only be held in place by a single 5mm wood screw, so I'm assuming that is not secure enough. The inner diameter of the bushing appears to be similar, but the UL bushing is thinner - a smaller outer diameter, hence the movement. Is there any harm in the full Hipshot set up being able to shift in the hole a little if I make sure the tuner is butting up to the side that will bear the tension when the bass is strung up? So it won't actually move in use as it will already be up against the wood properly. Any ideas?
