  1. I'm getting a bass refinished in March; is that allowed?
  2. Many thanks must go to Pete who saw my Wanted ad looking for a Squier Matt Freeman P Bass and got in touch. He was tremendous to deal with, organised the packaging and drop off very quickly, and was even willing to perform some last minute modifications to the box when we realised that it was too long and over the limits. He chucked in a strap, tuner, and case that he'd received with the bass, and all for a great price too. A true BC hero.
  3. Ashdown ABM EVO III 500W head. 15th Anniversary model so dates from 2012. This is the second time I've bought an ABM head with the view of switching to a head a cab setup before realising that I really don't need it at the moment and my combo is sufficient. There's a scuff/scratch on the front but in good condition otherwise. Comes with a footswitch for valve, EQ, compression, and sub-octave. Can ship if required or can be collected from Glasgow.
  4. Swapped the Fender Classic 50s neck for a 62RI one as I felt the rosewood fitted the colour scheme better than the maple. I've got a mint green pickguard from BC favourite earlpilanz on it just now but ideally I'd like a tortoiseshell one; I just haven't been able to find one that matches the image I have in my head.
  5. Ashdown ABM 300 EVO II 1x10 combo, made in England. In good working order and in good overall condition, with just a few scuffs on the corner protectors. I've owned this for just shy of 2 years and it was serviced by Flynn Amps in Glasgow prior to me purchasing it. It's had limited home use since then. I think it's a somewhat rare amp; there's very little information about this specific amp online but essentially it's the same as my old ABM 300 EVO II head but in a 1x10 combo configuration. Can be used with an extension cable to get the full power from it. Well suited to studio use, and small-to-medium gigs. Has all the usual Ashdown features; valve drive, sub octave, bass/middle/treble controls with optional EQ sliders. Collection from Glasgow.
  6. Wouldn't the TV turn off after you've left the room if you're taking the key card out of the holder?
  7. Have prices for strings gone up in general, or is it just certain strings? About 3-4 years ago I used get Dunlop Flatwounds from guitar guitar for £30, and when I went to buy a new set recently, most places were asking for about £80.
  8. Is that the same pickup used in the Triumph Bass? I'd never seen it in another Bass until now.
  9. David answered my wanted ad, looking for a P Bass neck. He was very patient while I made up my mind but had it packed and posted within 24 hours once I'd pulled the proverbial trigger. Very well packaged and just as described. Buy with confidence.
  10. I've got Dunlop flats on my JV Precision, Fender flats on my bitsa Precision, and D'Addario rounds on my Telecaster Bass. Flats didn't work with the humbucker on the Tele Bass for me, but the flats on both P Basses were just whatever I had to hand when putting them together. The Dunlops have been on the JV for about three years but had been on a couple of other basses prior to that, and the Fenders were on a bass I bought second hand and swapped them over.
  11. Gotoh SD91 machine heads in nickel. I bought these used a while back but never needed them. They look as new and come boxed with bushing removal tool, set of screws, and two sets of bushings; however one of the sets are wrong as the tuner posts don't fit the holes. They were in the box when I received them and are probably the ones the previous owner removed to fit one of the sets of Gotoh bushings. They're guitar tuners but they also work for a Bass VI; I had a set of my Squier when I still owned it. Price includes postage.
  12. That's a very nice bit of kit
  13. I was wondering about that; I've been trying to buy a pickguard from him for a while. His old shop was about ten minutes from me.
  14. Didn't the Silver Series come about a decade after the JVs?
  15. Thank you! I knew it reminded me of something but I couldn't think what
  16. I've never been fond of Fender's dumbing down of the Jaguar and Jazzmaster; getting rid of all the switching, circuitry, and chrome that made them interesting to begin with, leaving you with massive, unnecessary, ugly pickguards. The original Japanese Jaguar Bass is the only one I'd be interested in.
  17. Thanks to the exceptional service of @kevin_lindsay I now have a set of reverse gear Resolites that I meant to buy when I purchased these, but I bought the "standard" anti-clockwise turn version by mistake. In excellent condition, comes with screws and bushings too. Price includes postage.
  18. I thought that was the case but wanted to double check before I ordered them. I didn't want to hand them over with my bass for a set up and then get a message from the tech to say that they were too short.
  19. I've got pickups from The Creamery in both my Ps; a Classic '58 in one, and a Classic '65 in the other.
  20. I'm ordering some strings for my Tele Bass which has through body stringing; can anyone tell me if the usual long scale sets are long enough to go through the bridge and give a couple of wraps on the post, or do I need the super long scale instead?
  21. The chip is glued back in place and doesn't look too bad; we'll see how it holds up. The neck is going back and I'll just have to try and exercise some patience (not my strong suit) to find the right one.
  22. It's a really great neck, and if I don't find a suitable swap for it then I'll be happy enough to keep hold of it, but I feel like a change and think a rosewood board and tort guard would look great on this.
  23. Price drop: £225 plus postage Fender Classic 50s Precision Bass neck, maple fingerboard. Made in Mexico, 2004, the precursor to the current Vintera line. Tinted lacquer finish, 7.25" radius, 44mm nut width. Looks a lot more tanned in the pictures than it is in real life. In very good condition overall, with only one notable ding on the back of the neck, a bit of clouding around the tuner hole of the top string (G) which can only be seen from certain angles, and a scrape on the treble side corner of the heel from an aluminium pickguard that was slightly too tight. I bought this on here a year ago but I'm switching the neck for one with a rosewood fretboard.
  24. I had the same thing. I put a piece of blu tack on it.
