I think Bedouin Soundclash are Canadian, their bass player gets a decent groove going

When I've been in your situation, I've asked them what they require/would like. Best of luck with it.

Yep, what Lozz said

Some people believe that the pots do affect tone, I'm not one of them Worth using quality ones though for longevity and performance. Check out CTS or maybe if you want to keep it original find some vintage ones that aren't knackered or get your existing ones refurbed with new parts inside but keeping the old original casings.

Sorry to hear of your woes. There are some orrid thieving scumbags in this world. Hope you get it back mate.

[quote name='Clarky' timestamp='1346586755' post='1790806'] Not sure about a drop-in replacement but as a backstop you could send a tracing of (or the original pickguard) to Howard the Bass Doc and he will make you a top quality replacement [/quote] Was about to suggest the same There are quite a few variations with the Squier/Fender pguards. The last one I took a chance on and purchased online had to be sent back as it didnt fit. Howard is your man.

A happy ending, yippeee

[list] [*]Nice one, hope it works out for you [/list]

Plenty of advice already given, so I'll just say good luck and enjoy it

Good luck with the next project

You hit the nail on the head. Once it stops being fun then it's not worth carrying on, unless of course it's how you earn your living.

glad to be of service

Great story and glad you are reunited.

Properly road worn and not a pretender, love it. I have a 75 P bass but it has lead a much more sheltered life and hardly has a mark on it. Thing is I can't actually bring myself to take it out and gig it

Kevin also sent me one of the caps free of charge, I therefore concur that he is indeed a fine chap

[quote name='Mod_Machine' timestamp='1346105705' post='1785473'] Finally ddnt someone on here do a full straight replacement set...no soldering required? if so does anyone know who and how much? [/quote] Kiogon is yer man for the drop in kits

Looks like a good job. Nice one

I was going to post Roam, it was one I always go to for a damn good cheer up. Most people seem to know the B52's for Love Shack but for me, this is far superior

Recent convert to chromes on my P bass. Played it at a festival yesterday and joy of joys, a sound man who knew what he was doing with the bass sound.

why why why, would I want to listen to something that makes me feel even more down? what is needed is cheer up songs

Added to my watch list

Looks like a nice bit of grain under that paint.
