[quote name='Stewart' post='264754' date='Aug 19 2008, 02:36 AM']What do you people actually get for your £30/35 quid ?

I'd suggest if it's just bridge height /intonation tweaks and fitting a new set of strings then you'd be *much* better-off doing it yourself - and not only financially...[/quote]


I agree 2 years ago I had never pickup a insturment in my live my sons guitar ( he was 13 needed new string & adjustment ) I searched the net found out the correct info & did it myself.
The only problem I have now after tell other people they get me to do it.
Now days I show people how to do it as I was sick of it ( I charged zero)
Best thing you can do is learn to do it

Hi its VVT so go to SD just look at jazz bass the same but with no 2nd neg wire from pup only 3 wire front 1/2 pup + , back 1/2 pup+ & common -

You bascially can get a wiring diag for a Les Paul / SG guitar ( I presume the switch is a 3 way ie 1 pup 2 pups 1 pup? if that you want off SD 2 humb + 3 way switch
With the stacked pots you could go either tone or volume on top

Hi dont buy a Freedom guitar or bass a freind of my son had 1 I went to adjust the truss rod ( de tuned & the allen key spun in it ) The allen key was ok I has to use a screw driver in the end Pups are crap etc. How much do you want to spend ?
Yes Iam here in Oz

Part of the reason I have parts pass is because I like to make & fiddle with things

Mine are a pars Jazz bass & a Sting Ray knock off ( Casino) mainly because I play at home cant & wouldnt get the real thing ie Fender or Music Man . As I would rather spend the $ on my kids 15 & 13 to be honest

I used 1500 wet and dry, could use a bit harsher though I suppose.
Aerosol works fine, but if you have access to decent lacker I highly suggest using it. If its aerosol your using, I suggest once its dried giving it a VERY light rub down with 1500, then lacker, then LIGHT 1500, then buff/pollish.[/quote]

+1 also my son used to paint his Gu** scratch plate that fancy paint the type with bumps etc they use on chairs etc , like crakle paint it lasted a couple of years

Hi thanks for the 2 sites now have it thanks again

[quote name='lozbass' post='211595' date='Jun 3 2008, 06:55 PM']Hi, I'm sorry there's not much I can do as I don't have a Precision at the moment (...now if you'd asked four months ago...) I have a Jazz but that's a bit more complicated. I'm sure somebody on here must have a precision, a pencil and a sheet of paper. Good luck![/quote]
Hi thanks for that but I have a Jazz any way LOL

Hi I was wondering if some with a P bass could trace around the body of a P bass & mark where the Pups go , Cut outs ie back & front.
If you can can you either scann & winzip it to me or Post it to Australia.
I am willing to pay for cost etc.
The reason why I am looking at this is my 15 year old son is looking at making a bass for a school project . I have a SX bass neck so he could make the body & finish it off .
Thanks in advance
If you can help I will give you my email or postal address thanks

Very sweet good 1

Very nice work so far I keeping my eye on it

Thanks for that
