    Just adding that when I've been on the hunt for a Fender type of bass and I ask if the neck is straight, I do want to know if the neck is without any twists or indeed the classic 's' hump that can manifest itself around the body end of the neck. Had an old P that developed said condition once. Disappointing!

    What kind of bass is it, is it a hollow body?

    An amazing early 2 band Stingray. Unfortunately in a moment of madness, when I wasn't really paying attention, I did sell it. Bellend.

    [quote name='SICbass' timestamp='1461474294' post='3034868'] I love all his funky stuff, of course, but this one has always, right from the very first hearing, brought tears ro my eyes. http://youtu.be/zlZONgpmw58 Can't seem to make the video appear in the post. Can someone with a brain fix it please? Ta. [/quote]

    Sexy MF. Great cheeky idea for a single, with a groove that still worked even when heavily cut up and edited for radio.

    I bought a nice jazz album featuring Scott LaFaro off Mike. Really easy deal and it arrived in no time. Brill. Nice one Mike, many thanks! 👍

    [quote name='chardbass' timestamp='1461197448' post='3032436'] I prefer Hi Beams to to the Fat Beams I think. [/quote] In what way do you prefer the Hi Beams? I've never tried them but I do love the Fatbeams. Just curious what the difference is.

    Colin bought some parts of me in a very easy deal. Nice friendly chat on the PMs, and he was very patient waiting a few days until I could finalise the courier too. Brill. Deal with confidence people. Thank you Colin!

    Still up for grabs.

    Totally agree. I put a set of Fatbeams on a 5 string Squier P bass and they blew me away. Even acoustically, they made me smile. The most responsive string I've used, and easy to play. Amazing B string too.

    Scott Thunes on various Zappa albums (Make A Jazz Noise Here, The Best Band You Never Heard In Your Life..) Just killer P bass tone, exquisite note choices and phrases but always supportive of those around him. A brilliant musician who just happened to play bass. He could really pump a driving groove too: http://youtu.be/ly79mkffp7M

    Sold some Ultralites to Adolf in Romania in what was a very friendly, easy deal. Lovely chap to chat to on the PMs, wouldn't hesitate to deal with him again, either buying or selling. Thanks Adolf!

    Here’s my Squier VM P5 neck. Selling because I've modded my way into a new bass pretty much (as you do) This neck is straight and true with the truss rod working as it should. I had Hipshot Ultralites on it and filled the original tuner screw holes, although it would be easy to fit original sized tuners again as they would cover the Hipshot holes . I also put a different string tree on which covered all 5 strings a la Lakland, but I found the bass sounded better with the Squier tree So I put the original back and filled the small holes. I did have the bass professionally set up when new which included having the frets levelled a bit and the nut slots dropped for ease of playing. The finish is very good and unmarked apart from what I mentioned. A lovely feeling and playing neck with no dead spots at all that is just sat here doing nothing. **EDIT** I'll also throw in the Squier engraved VM neck plate and the DR Fatbeams that were on it also (loads of life left in those too ☺). £65 posted to you. Thanks.
