  1. I'll stick my neck out and say the logo's wrong for '73 isn't it? That style didn't appear until about '75?
  2. [quote name='maxrossell' post='682125' date='Dec 12 2009, 01:08 PM']the bass player in question doesn't use basschat[/quote] WHAT?
  3. If it stays below £75, you buy it and you don't like it, you'll probably get your money back selling it on. If it goes above £100, leave it be and come on over to watch me eat my hat
  4. Oh man, who glued that? If it's just a cosmetic thing then why oh why didn't they just hold it on with the nuts on the pots?
  5. That's a better (more accurate) one than some of the more recent ones, it's got the 2 stacked vol/tone knobs instead of 1 master vol, 1 master tone and selector switch.
  6. +1 on swapping the halves over, the raised poles should be under the A string. See this Seymour Duncan pickup for reference: [url="http://www.seymourduncan.com/products/antiquity/bass/1104412_pickup/"]http://www.seymourduncan.com/products/anti...1104412_pickup/[/url]

  10. Geof bought a bridge from me, paid promptly, smooth transaction, good comms, no worries!
  11. Welcome to the forum
  12. Just received a couple of sets of strings from Si, well packaged and promptly posted. Cheers for a smooth transaction
  13. Anyone who likes a good solid sounding and different looking passive bass would be happy with a G-3. I know I'm happy with mine.
  14. [quote name='mrcrow' post='671085' date='Dec 1 2009, 02:07 PM']what are the string spacings... cheers geof[/quote] 19mm spacing, and the screw holes appear to be the same spacing as Fender bridges, approx 17mm.

  19. I must confess that I wasn't impressed with the Burns Bison I picked up, I checked it out after the Gibson G-3 I bought, and I found it rather lacking in output, it seemed far too polite sounding. Perhaps playing it after a Gibson G-3 wasn't the best comparison, but I was playing it through a nice Phil Jones amp (the Six Pack if memory serves) and I was just thoroughly underwhelmed by it on any of its settings. Just my 2p.
  20. Oh well, welcome back to the forum
  21. Je ne regret rien, I'm pleased to say. I've only been playing a few years, and it's been all the way up in terms of gear quality so far, so I don't miss any of my sold basses. Except maybe the Takamine acoustic owing to its beautiful front, back and sides in vivid quilted maple, but even then I wouldn't move mountains to get it back because I never found much of a use for an acoustic.
  22. Of course it can be done. Damn near anything can be done on a bass - for a price. I wouldn't imagine it would be cheap though, fingerboard replacement is fairly major surgery. I take it Yamaha do not offer the combination of woods you're looking for?
