[/quote] Yup they're the ones, Hoping it'd be a good neck for £75. Or good enough till I can get an unfinished canary/canary blocked and binded one from warmoth, but that requires extra funds I don't have yet

Thought i'd mentioned pickguard haha, will be a black one I have a white one that came with the kit i'll check incase I prefer it but most likely black, to go with the hardware. Only thing that I'm not sure on is whether to still use a chrome control plate or go black with that too, black would fit in more, but chrome might be a bit of variation it could do with, Again I still have the chrome one from the kit so i'll just do test fits ha.

Figured i'd start a topic in here as I've finally started to finish a jazz bass kit I bought 3 years. Thought yesterday would be the last decent weather we had for a while possibly, today proves that :/ Colour is Molotow Currant Purple. Looked darker on my pc when ordering but still happy with it. That's its old neck that came in the £100 kit, Being Replaced by a Maple/Maple with Black block inlays. Hardware mostly wilkinson bridge, Tuners etc. All black. Pickups Wilkinson Alnico Pickups, Figured i'd probably not get much better pickups for £55 roughly. Basic jazz bass wiring, V/V/T/Input I believe it is. Hopefully be an update in the next week or two once funds come in to buy all the rest,

My Warmoth 5 string Z bass with Jazz and Powerbucker, Built it as a bass to keep forever, and doing so i will be. Was honestly a big gamble as it was my first warmoth, first five string, and first odd pickup combination, But it payed off .

I have a Ashdown Mag Evo II 307 1x15 Combo, Great amp, worth the money, At the time where I bought it had the cab and head version for just a bit over the same price, looking back I would've gotten that for easier portability as the cab had I'm guessing side handles whilst the combo only has a top handle. Apart from that it's great, Though apart from going to Neo cabs I can't imagine any company giving much weight reduction in comparison. Just a guess I haven't tried many.

Really nice bass LukeFRC, yours and gjones's basses have shown how I can get my jazz bass finished nicely before the weather gets too cold. Originally I Was going to go with Wudtone, but researching the sanding sealer that was applied to my saga kit body, Apparantly sanding doesn't work too well to remove it. So solid colour purple or green it is..... Just to decide which, Feel more like going purple again.

Not the best picture of the bass but only one I have currently. A Candy Cola/Apple (I forget what one it's called as) S-1(Pre 2012) American Standard. Ended Up being my second bass, The last one that would be a gift, So despite occasionally spending a year at home whilst my other bass is at uni with me, I've kept it. Need to bring it up so I have a back up with me.

Dang it, wrong side of my driving test by a month or two ha.

I used dolphin for my ashdown bass amp, Incredibly helpful after they said they couldn't send it to an address other than the card billing address (I think over a certain price they have that, not quite sure) but I got a second email from obviously one of the managers asking if I was at university, and if so if I Could send him an email from my university account and he'd have it cleared for shipping after that, and I got the amp perfectly fine. Well besides the power cable had been put at the bottom of the box and the prongs were mangled, But part of me thinks that's a packer at ashdown making a derp. Would use them again if I had money to afford the stuff I want to get.

There's a heading in the Introductions forum that says something like that one can tell a little about oneself and one's gear. Mission accomplished! Enjoy your stay! best, bert [/quote] Yeah that's basically what I went off. [quote name='borisbrain' timestamp='1377094117' post='2183267'] Greetings. You posted this at 4.27am?? And I thought [i]I [/i]spent a lot of time at the computer...! Enjoy the site - groove on. BB [/quote] Yup didn't quite realise the time haha, Need to sort that sleeping pattern soon before university starts again,

Been lurking reading topics a while. Thought i'd say hello. I'm a University student originally from East Midlands, 22, Currently in West midlands at Staffordshire university doing a Computer Games Programming Honours top up Degree. I've been playing bass on and off (Mostly due to lack of dedication at times, getting caught up in other things which always turned sour) for the best part of 6 years, So my playing probably only reflects 1 maybe 2 years worth of consistent practice and playing. Generally into older bands such as deep purple, Sabbath, Iron maiden, Scorpions, Thunder etc. Foo fighters, QOTSA, Airbourne to name a few newer bands I am really into. Gear wise i've settled on a Ashdown Mag Evo II 307watt Combo Amp, Pedals consisting of A Ashdown Overdrive pedal and morley dual wah (Primarily due to For whom the bell tolls...) Basses I have are a Warmoth Z J/Humbucker 5 string, A American Fender Standard Precision, Epi T-Bird and a currently In bits kit bass which will be a jazz bass. Apologies if i've rambled on. Never sure what to say in these things
