I picked this up from eBay for a project, but all projects are on-hold while I work over a Travis Bean. It transforms normal teles (or any guitar that uses the same scale length) into a true baritone with a 27.78" scale. I think it's the cheapest way to get a decent quality baritone. It's one of these: [url="http://www.allparts.uk.com/online-shop/allparts-guitar-amp-parts/necks/guitar-necks/baritone-neck-for-tele-p-2655.html"]http://www.allparts.uk.com/online-shop/all...ele-p-2655.html[/url] It looks like it's only been very lightly-used. It comes without tuners or nut (although it has had both fitted at some point). Rosewood board. £60 posted to the UK.

Oh yeah - saddles! Shouldn't be too to get something non-original that fits and looks right.

[quote name='BigRedX' post='677254' date='Dec 7 2009, 09:45 PM']BTW. That Travis Bean is going to look absolutely fantastic when it's finished. Have you found a source for the missing parts?[/quote] I'm hoping that Electrical will make them for me - they've certainly done them in the past for people. Just a nut and a pickguard required!

I just took delivery of a guitar that a previous owner had taken a paintbrush to in the most horrific way imaginable. Just look: [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270489483500"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...em=270489483500[/url] The acrylic has come off with a bit of my favourite paint stripper, but now I need the body re-finished in a lovely glossy black or white (I haven't decided which yet). I don't have the patience to do it myself! The body will be stripped right back to the wood and sanded before it goes off for spraying. So I'm looking for recommendations for someone to respray it. Websites seem to massively vary in cost. Does anyone know someone who does good work for an OK price?

On eBay tomorrow!

Do any of these get sold on eBay, or do they just get booted off? My turquoise one isn't selling on basschat, but I'm worried about the Rik police on the Bay.

Get second-hand GK gear. It holds its resale value, sounds amazing and is bomb-proof. I've never done a gig with a GK head without being congratulated on my tone by other musicians. But then I've never found a Hartke I liked. It's a very subjective thing.

The circuit is a pretty easy build - but it hates active basses. I don't understand Toasted's comment.

I cure neck dive by holding onto my bass. Radical, I know ;-)

I currently have a nice Ibanez Musician for sale, and it's not shifting on here: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=65234"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=65234[/url] I thought that rather than dealing with the eBay hassle, it might be an interesting experiment to ask a shop to sell it on consignment. I'm in London, so I have quite a big choice. I was wondering which shops people recommend? Are some shops better for some kinds of bass? What kind of commission should I expect? I'm totally new to this, but thought that I might give it a go.

[quote name='karlfer' post='659847' date='Nov 20 2009, 07:55 AM']Hello Dangerboy. I am very close to having a punt, so some answers if you would be so kind. Is the truss rod working? Are all the electrics good, pick ups working individual and together. What is the action like at 1, 12 or 17 frets. Whats it like to play (subjective I know) Would you accept a cheque(I would happily wait for it to clear) as it's a long way from Wigan to London.[/quote] Hi. I haven't ever used the truss rod. The neck is straight, so I guess that it's working. Electrics are good. I had a go with all the switches and knobs earlier. I'll take some measurements of the action - I would say that it's a medium at the moment, but I've never really worked to bring it down (I just rock out, and my gf likes this bass the way it is). To play? It's not too heavy. It sounds very Rick-like. I love it - but then I only play with a pick. Your mileage may vary! Cheques are fine by me.

Bridge pickup pics! Note to self - make sure to take out tiny black screw that has jumped onto the magnet. Then ask girlfriend how it got there. Is this real? Help me Obi Jon Kenobi, you're my only hope!
-
Hi Jon, I reckon the finish is a transparent blue over clear. Where it has flaked off it's revealed a glossy clear layer. No idea who did it or when. The height adjuster screws fit fine - but they didn't when I played with this saddle-section on another faker bridge. I guess this one has more accurate dimensions? Off to take pics of the bridge pup!

FINAL PRICE DROP BEFORE CONSIGNMENT OR EBAY- NOW SOLD I bought this bass 3 years ago, sold it one year ago to my girlfriend, and now it's back, because she has double bass repair bills to pay, and no basschat account! Some history - the previous owner sent me a picture of this with 'CMI' on the headstock. Unfortunately this had been scratched off by the time it got to me, so I've replaced the TRC with an 'interesting' one from a man in Italy. I'm told it's not real, and I believe this, but it looks really nice and somehow balances the bass well visually. I tried plain white and it never looked right. Similarly, I've replaced the pickups and the saddles-section of the bridge (what do you call that?) with parts that sellers on here (pickups, a long time ago) and eBay (saddles) tell me are genuine Rick. But I can never be sure - I don't have an original to compare. The tuners are also replacements - when I got it there were mini schallers fitted, two of them upside-down! These are far-eastern generic things. Good points: The thru-neck The colour (!) The thick gloss on the fretboard The inlays The sound Bad points (all by a previous owner!): The bridge has been lowered by routing underneath, in order to make the action lower. The rout is fine, but it has left the finish messy around the bridge The bridge pickup surround has been cut back to allow a lower action I don't like the knobs There's a thin crack in the scratchplate Only one truss rod Given the additions and the unique colour I'm looking for SOLD. I'm in london, and am happy to meet pretty much anywhere in this fair (?) city for handover.
