  1. I recently imported an Allparts maple P neck from the states off a guy who has a good rep on talkbass. He does a full fret dress including the nut, rolls the fingerboard edges and gives them an oil finish. In the hand it feels lush. Thing is I've accidentally just bought a new bass so I need some funds back from this neck to go towards it. It's as it came to me, undrilled. I paid £260 for it including import charges. Will post to you for £190 This is the guy.. (my neck is the P version of course - 1 5/8" at the nut) https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/All-parts-Maple-Neck-for-vintage-Fender-Jazz-Precision-Bass-JMO-oil-Finished-/133012759583 I'm not at home yet but will post pics of the actual neck later. Cheers.
  2. Vegas rule #1 Step away from the table, cash your chips and walk.. Quit while you're ahead!
  3. As the title says.. My bitsa build has changed colour scheme now so just looking to trade my recently acquired (here on BC) cream Dimarzios for the same in black. These are thems... Cheers. Edit.. If anyone wants to buy them for £45 posted then that's cool too. Gone!
  4. A grand? Better off building a better one of your own for that coin.
  5. Keep the original white or go minty.
  6. Marc bought an Ibanez Blazer off me in a dead easy deal. He actually told me not to stress, no rush (wish there were more people in my life like that!😎). Good man. 👍

  8. But it's possible it's only a minority market because they're not available. There must be quite a few players/beginners who find a full size hard to get around on but don't want a Shorty and are simply unaware that medium scale basses exist.
  9. Thanks for the suggestions, much appreciated, but for my tastes it has to look like a P bass. I'm really surprised nobody is making a budget 32" P. A gap in the market here for sure!
  10. Does anyone know of a medium scale Pbass that's available and reasonably priced? Maruszczyk and 80's mij Fender Squiers are out of my price range unfortunately. I'm building my own full fat P at the mo and I have a Hartley Benton Shorty P that I bought for my sons, but can't seem to see any mediums around. Always fancied one. Any ideas?
  11. As our own @discreet once succinctly said regarding GAS, "sometimes the best thing to do is nothing." Saved me a few quid that one!
  12. There's a rumble cat for sale here actually. Good light basses. No affiliation with the seller BTW.
  13. Drop a set of Dimarzio Model PJ pickups in the Jag. Call London all day long! The Model P is what Paul had/has in his Precision after all.
  14. In the long run, picking the least heavy one will be the best choice.
  15. Well that sounds promising! Hopefully the Rhythm Stick won't be too far behind.
  16. Thanks. What do you like best about the BT and would you say it's a keeper?
  17. 1982 Ibanez Blazer for sale, spares or repairs. All original, electrics work fine. Looks it's age and cool for it in a genuinely roadworn way. The issue is the neck. It has a forward bow that I just can't get straight with the truss rod even with 2 washers added which is a real shame as it sounds epic with the Super P4 pickup. Try as I might I just can't get the action lower than 4mm at the 12th fret due to the curve. The neck isn't twisted by the way. Selling as spares/repairs just to be clear. If you can fix it with skills I don't possess then great. If the neck is a goner then I reckon the remaining parts are worth the asking price to be fair. I'll post with the neck detached to make packing and shipping easier and cheaper. The strings are not included as they are brand new TI flats that will be going on my next bass. You're welcome to come and have a look in advance if you are in or near the Cardiff area. £150 with postage being £12 extra Cheers.
  18. Looks like it may have to be me then to boldly go..
