Nice one Discreet, looks really handsome.

Never seen one of those before 👍

Chromes are best not cut down in length when fitting, it might look like too many winds on the post but it's most certainly the best way to do it. They are also more likely to survive a few taking offs and putting back on again.

Always found them very smooth and slinky. Maybe higher tension than what you're used to.

Well done @Grangur , excellent work mate.

I have just fixed the very same problem on a Telecaster. As well as being loose, there was a very visible crack through which I was able to get some Titebond wood glue. This was applied using a pin, once I had a fair bit in there, I used masking tape to apply pressure to the repaired section and force it back against the wood. Obviously the cracks in the paint are still visible but the paint is now nice and firm.

My daughter got herself an Ibanez bass (not sure of the model) with a hardcase for £100. Total bargain, I've set it up for her and would happily gig it.

Slacken that string off and see if that helps. Gets some lubricating oil on the threads whilst you're at it.

We'll leave the nut alone then Discreet

I allow between 1.5-2 hours, which might seem like a long time but it's not something to be rushed. Also, I almost always end up masking the entire fret board, prior to any cleaning /polishing of frets.

I normally charge £35 for a set up. Typically this will include adjustments to the nut slots, truss rod and string height. Lubricant where required. A thorough clean. Fret polish and board treatment. Strings not included in the price.

Haven't seen one of those in a while Nick. Nice one, enjoy

He should be put overboard for that crime 😡

I've not regretted my purchase of the Mono Sleeve and will be getting another for my back up bass, in the not too distant.

That looks very lovely Harry

Like Dom in Somerset, I'm really impressed with Entwistle. I've fitted them in to customer's instruments and my own. Don't be put off by the low price, they really are up there with some of the much more expensive pick ups that I've tried.

Another one of the good ones

Great job👍

Simplicity suits me, so I mostly gig a P bass (Fender or G&L) and rely on the the tone control if I need a different sound🙂 I've owned and gigged high end Dingwalls and Wals and although I loved them, I found that what I ended up dialling in, was pretty much a P bass tone.

Can't recall how long I have had my Comfort Strapp but I do remember getting it from the Wapping Bass Centre, probably twenty years back. Since then it has done every rehearsal and gig with me and still shows no signs of wear.

Get yourself some glue then and get cracking Dood👍

Think that you're talking about the ground from the bridge.

I would just plug with hardwood and a quality wood glue. Let it cure for twenty four hours and then mark out for the new screw holes and drill very fine pilot holes.

Wow, that's a looker
