Does anyone have any experience with these? I'm thinking of further modding my P-Ray to turn it into a PJ-Ray. The difficulty is that almost all J pickups are for 19mm spacing. Aguilar do a 17.5mm option but they are special orders and they appear to only be available as a pair. I only want the bridge version. The Nordstrand blade appears to make string spacing issues irrelevant. Anyone tried one? I'll probably take the plunge anyway, but opinions are always welcome!

I did. Lovely thing. It was the black and maple - particularly with the vintage tint on the neck that had me very excited. When I play big band I always take a 5 string as I usually get piano scores, but when I'm playing at home the 4 strings come out.

oh man. I didn't see it. Gutted. Proper gutted.

So you selling your black MIM yet? Just asking!

Every band I've been in I have been one of the founding members or started it completely. The guys that audition had to fit with me. It wasn't planned like that, it just happened. I actually really like the idea of being given a set list to learn and then just having to turn up. I'd be very happy to never do the organisation again. I'm not really gigging at the moment (apart from an educational trust orchestra), but in a couple of years my eldest daughter will be old enough to be allowed to play in the jazz clubs. She is turning into a great clarinettist and (at the moment anyway) wants me and a drummer friend to play with her. If we can find a good pianist then we'll have a great little jazz quartet. Really looking forward to that!

This one makes me laugh. It also reminds me of when I heard something amazing for the first time

70s disco sounds awesome. How do I do that?

All of mine are 9lb max. My Ray 5 is lightest at 8.4lb id love something under 8lb!

That’s impressive for such a big instrument. Still far too much for my back, but still impressive.

I’ve got one too. I’m waiting for hernia surgery so it’s meant I can still play.

It’s not a loop hole. It’s the selling of 2 separate but compatible items.

Ha ha hahahahaha. Tw@t is corrected to Silly Billy! Ha hahahahahahahahaha!

Yes. It is against the law. Second Defendant in a civil case is a possibility. (Unlikely in a criminal matter). Would only happen if seller refused to refund the buyer. BC is not the seller. A proper system of reporting and removal of offending items is likely to be a defence against a claim as a 2nd Defendant (basically as eBay do it) Indemnity clauses in the T&C for the classifieds mean you can recover any outlay from the individual seller.

Not at all. its a plea for removing all Limelight’s and everything with disclaimers or anyth7ng flagged with adequate proof. And updated rules to be agreed by every seller that what they are selling is legitimate AND that if discovered otherwise the seller will indemnify the buyer AND the owners of BC. And a rule that says - if the seller added the logo then they know it’s not legitimate (Fender do not sell logos at all, ever) and should not be listed.

Thing is, Trigger Broom types can be easy. Seller has a genuine Fender neck and a mighty might body. Selling them together is illegal. Unscrewing the neck and selling as “1 genuine neck and 1loaded body (PS they screw together well)” solves the issue. Difficult the other way round as the body forsnt doesn’t have the logo.

No. Why don’t you add up all the current listings of counterfeit items and express it as a percentage of the entire active listing. I bet it’s under 5%.

the forum owners are in a particularly difficult position on BC as opposed to many other sites. BC charges fees to sell here. That means they benefit. The BC owners would almost certainly be added as a Second Defendant in any civil court action. Seller as First Defendant, the forum owners being the second because they refused to police the sales, possibly refused to remove flagged posts (as per the post above) and earned some money from the listing. Any claimant would be wise to spread the net wide, and the joint owners of BC are likely to have more assets to enforce against between them rather than 1 seller. It doesn’t need FMIC to be upset, just 1 buyer.

Not true. An IP case for civil damages can only be done by FMIC. A criminal case for the criminal offences under the copyright and trademark laws does not need FMIC approval or even assistance. Civil and criminal elements of the legislation are different.

No it won’t. It’s a small percentage of the total sales. This approach is taken on the fretboard (largest EU & U.K. Guitar forum) and no one notices when it’s enforced. And it is enforced.
