Great blog, vid & comp Ped, Well done. Cheers, Jon

Nice result for you Legion and well done Fender on the customer service provided. I had a not so nice experience with a faulty bass neck & manufacturer and wished it was as simple as your experience 'cos it ain't nice when it gets ugly. ATB, Jon

[quote name='deepbass5' timestamp='1343069631' post='1744793'] Your credit card company will charge you a poor exchange rate though. Just check what it is first so you don't get a suprise [/quote] Yeah, a big +1 to this. I got hammered pretty well by Barclaycard. It's worth calling/emailing them to find out what their exchange rate charges are just before you go for it.

Nice one and a cool build in the making! If you don't mind telling - How much roughly will your build come in at? Cheers, Jon

Sad news indeed. Babbitt & Lord on the same day

[quote name='slobluesine' timestamp='1342434076' post='1734658'] if i buy something here 'new boxed' should i expect 12 months warranty? [/quote] A Private/2nd hand/One off item from here, Gumtree, eBay, etc then No. New from a dealer or shop then Yes. [url="http://whatconsumer.co.uk/second-hand/"]http://whatconsumer.co.uk/second-hand/[/url] Warranties are only transferrable at the Maufacturer's discretion so may be worth investigating a bit more.

Don't know why, but WOW me likey!!! [url="http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Lull_JAX_T_4_Red.html"]http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Lull_JAX_T_4_Red.html[/url]

[quote name='Cameronj279' timestamp='1342360257' post='1733677'] I will admit, I personally don't like using the low string all the time, I try to use it sparingly but not really possible in some sub-genres or with certain guitarists [/quote] I think this is my thinking on the 5th string with respect to Metal

[quote name='Bassman Steve' timestamp='1342202728' post='1731673'] Thanks Jon, if I were an MM player I'd have had that gorgeous anniversary bass of yours. [/quote] Very kind of you Steve. It's in The Gallery now should anyone fancy buying it! Any chance of some more pictures of your new bass for a better look at the 'mojo' Steve?

What a nice old bass. It will look great with the tort plate!

ooh, With a nice guitar like that I'd get it to a reputable luthier...

Don't pass up the opportunity of our very own member OBBM (Dave) and his glorious cable business: [url="http://bassic-bits.co.uk/"]http://bassic-bits.co.uk/[/url] I believe there is a Basschat discount too!

Yes - Too high indeed.

For me this: Guns N Roses - Nightrain. This is a live version that pretty much nails the feel IMO [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2FbDSqf55Co"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2FbDSqf55Co[/url]

Received some strings today that I bought off Dan and all went well. Thanks Dan and all the best, Jon

Hi topcat3355, On the Barefaced Bass front have a read through Alex's very good Tech Info for more food for thought: [url="http://barefacedbass.com/technical-information.htm"]http://barefacedbass.com/technical-information.htm[/url] Also I believe that the amplified output from low B string to our human ears means we hear the harmonic notes more than the fundamental note so the need for a 30Hz cab is not as critical as you may think... There's some great info on here about all that if you search through, I tried but couldn't find anything immediately so please shoot me down if I'm wrong! All the best, Jon

[quote name='Twigman' timestamp='1339675427' post='1692434'] ...Strange coz that was originally soldered by Fender, not me... [/quote] I've had trouble with a new pickup like that once before so it does happen. Friday afternoon specials maybe?
