  1. When I was repairing one of these for a customer a while back, I found an online supplier of those pickups. Can't recall the name at the moment, sorry. If it turns out that you do need the pickup replaced, let me know and I'll try to find it. Or maybe a google search will find it for you.
  2. The only time that I don't cut is when installing the G & D in a flat wound set. Other than that I install the same way that others have detailed.
  3. I would probably use white spirit.
  4. That looks very impressive, nice job.
  5. I would say that's enough, so long as you are definitely going in to the timber studs.
  6. To remain open, this thread needs to move away from politics, however, given the subject matter, I doubt that can really happen. Hovering over the lock.............but for now it stays.
  7. Sounds like a fine idea.
  8. Nice one Clarky, that does look cool
  9. I do one or two a week and therefore know how to proceed. I'm sure that if you are confident with tools and have some ability to control said tools, then you will be capable. It might be an idea to watch some videos on the subject and then have a trial run on a donor neck. If you want any specific instructions, happy to help.
  10. I get it from Posh Guitars. Use it on all of my instruments and just about every one of my customer's instruments.
  11. Looks interesting, hope you enjoy.
  12. Lovely looking Jazz and a great memory for you.
  13. Congrats, enjoy your cab. I team mine with a GK Fusion 500. Sometimes on its own, sometimes with the addition of a Big Baby. Love it
  14. I regularly get the job of cleaning that sort fret board mess. It's just 'orrid😕
  15. Excellent job there Kev.
  16. The only time I experienced some intermittent distortion on my GK, it was cured by replacing the three pre amp valves. It was a tricky job but I got it all sorted in about an hour.
  17. I've only used it with flats but yes bet it sounds great with rounds.
  18. Might be better to use a different download file if possible.
  19. Maybe but probably not, your fears are wrong. Hope it goes well
  20. A stunning example of Leo Fender’s G&L P bass. It’s a proper U.S. model built in 2016 at the Fullerton, California plant. Hang tag, warranty card, certificate, spec sheet etc is included. Alder body. Finish is cherry burst. The three ply guard is more like the lovely old vintage looking tort. Saddle lock bridge. 9.5 radius dark Rosewood fret board. Bone nut. Width at the nut is 1.5/8th”. Frets are medium/jumbo and all seated and finished perfectly. G&L Alnico pick up G&L ultralite tuners. Weight is 9lb 12oz. Original hard-shell, black tolex case, which looks almost as new. This bass has not had a hard life, the first owner only used it at home, I’ve gigged it twice. Although I believe it left the factory, with round wound strings, the previous owner fitted a set of flats, so there is no fret wear. Condition is near perfect, with just a little swirling/signs of use to the pick guard. Lovely tight, neck pocket and with six securing screws, the neck/body joint is rock solid. I love this bass, it’s comfortable to play seated or standing, looks amazing and sounds great in a band setting. My reason for selling? Well a near miss last night, on a crowded stage, when our drummer knocked over a heavy cymbal stand, made me rethink gigging with a pristine instrument like this. I’m going to use my old G&L and a P bass that I built for myself, both of which sport war wounds and genuine road wear. Hopefully the photos will give a good indication of the condition. Anything that looks like a blemish or damage to the body finish, is purely down to my photography. Price is £950. I’m in Hoddesdon, Herts. Would really prefer collection but we can discuss shipping if necessary.
  21. Do what makes you happy mate
  22. Same as you, I came to the conclusion that I loved Mark Bass cabs but not with their amps. My GK Fusion 500 will be getting an outing tonight, love it
  23. It mostly works perfectly well as it is.
