Another retirement sale item. This little amp lived in my gig bag as a spare and has had virtually no use. It's in pretty much as new condition, which should be obvious in the photos down below. Everything that it came with from new is included. The mains lead, a small jack to jack and a USB. Complete with the original box and instruction booklet. I'm happy for it to be road tested here at my place, although you would have to bring along a cab as I've now sold both of mine. It can be collected or if required, I can send via a reliable courier, which would be around £18. (If you want a cheaper courier, let me know).

Rickenbacker 4004L Truss Rods. Really?
gary mac replied to Woodinblack's topic in Repairs and Technical
I've worked on plenty of Ric truss rods and nearly always clamp the neck straight, prior to carrying out adjustments. It is an efficient way of taking the stress off of the rod during the process of straightening the neck. -
I'm no longer gigging, so another item up for sale. This bag offers a very high level of protection and with plenty of useful additional storage space. All zips work perfectly and the general condition is exceptionally good, with no rips or other damage. I don't have a box for postage, so this will have to be collection only.-

So long as the truss rod is functioning, then with the right set up, you should be good with pretty much any string gauge. Turn the screw clockwise again until you feel some tension. Have the strings slack at this point and get the neck straight or even slightly back bowed. Then tune up and check the relief etc.

Thank you gents, appreciate the recommendation.

Very happy to recommend Geoff. No messing about and a total pleasure to deal with.

Tread very carefully, as it's easy to effectively move the problem along the board. Literally do a couple of strokes of the files and keep on checking for rocking on the adjacent frets. Also make sure that the fret that you suspect is causing the problem, is actually seated in properly. Sometimes all that is required is a gentle tap with a light weight hammer.

Lovely. I usually really dislike ageing/relicing but that looks great, the best example that I've seen.

Buying a decent, light(ish) Precision body?
gary mac replied to DF Shortscale's topic in Accessories and Misc
https://northwestguitars.co.uk/collections/precision-bass I've not actually seen one of these in the flesh but I regularly buy products from them, that have all been good.
