    I have for sale the below Fender neckplate, so it will fit a J, P or anything I suppose!! I have two but am keeping one!! Laser etched very tastefully with an image of The Ox. Not too obvious, but subtle. As this plate was a custom order by me and I chose the image, it is highly likely it is one of only two in the world. So, will make your Fender bass very individual and is a nice tribute the the man himself. Inc post and packaging, I am after £20. No Paypal plse!!

    Yes,this has the s1 switch system. The bridge upgrade was to the hi mass Fender bridge that they put on the later Ps and Js.

    JB often rehearses at our rehearsal rooms near Rayleigh in Essex. Last time he was there he was doing some sessions with none other than Blues legend Robin Trower. Surreal!!

    Nate excellent as ever, Stevie is all over the place with his pitching, esp on chorus...... bad monitors probably. Slightly better rendition here: [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yCgKBTvx-Aw"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yCgKBTvx-Aw[/url]

    So, I have bought myself a new bass to sit alongside my lovely US Jazz. My only musts were a maple board and reasonably light due to last years sciatic episode I had and DO NOT want to revisit!!). I spent a few hours with Chris at Bass Merchant just up the road from me, drinking coffee and trying out some basses. I wanted something quite different from the Jazz to give me some sound options. As you know,Jazzes are versatile in themselves, but I wanted something altogether new sounding. I read great reports on GL Tributes.Look great and finished nicely, but the neck finish just wasnt me, too much like raw wood. Sound wise,though, alot of options. Tried a Cort A4. Fantastic but not a fan of natural finishes, also a tad heavy. Looked at an ESP Jazz, unbelievable quilted top job and a silky neck, but it was over four figures so that went back on the peg. Didnt bother with Fenders as I have a nice one already. Then I tried a Sterling by Musicman Ray34. Plugged it in to a TC rig and had a noodle. Lovely fast neck,slightly wider than a Jazz, but not quite a P. Finished in a nice Tobacco Burst with matching headstock. Three band EQ with tons of tonal options. The weight was crucial and this was not to heavy so my back will be grateful. So, the Sterling came home with me and is now chatting with my Jazz. Great bass and so far very happy. First gig with the Ray will be in Chelmsford on the 7th Sept, hope Ive made a good choice....I think I have. Thanks to Chris for his patience and his coffee.......Happy Birthday to me!!!!! Edited to add some pictures.

    With the damage I would estimate an asking price of between £480 and £520.

    If only this were a 4.....

    May be a good idea to state where you are.
  21. neilb

    [quote name='mercuryl' post='1339525' date='Aug 14 2011, 12:25 PM']I think he was called Gavin, but I've lost the email, so I can't say for sure.[/quote] Probably Guy, the service chappie. I do agree with the other posters tho, may be not worth it considering what you can pick up secondhand. Neil

    What is the weight of this please?

    [quote name='mercuryl' post='1339059' date='Aug 13 2011, 08:12 PM']Ashdown have already told me they can't repair it as they don't have spare parts.[/quote] Can I ask who that came from at Ashdown?
