How much relief is too much? There was quite a bit before I straightened it.

My Peavey Foundation buzzes quite a bit when I fret a note at the first fret. I thought it must be to do with the nut slots being too low, but I placed a couple of shims in under the nut to raise it and I'm still getting the same buzz. I had a slight bit of relief in the neck when I first noticed the buzz and I've just changed the strings and straightened the neck and it's still there. Does this sound like it's the frets that need dressed?

[/quote] I did think about it, but I don't have the necessary tools to do it myself, and taking it to a tech would be both costly and time consuming. I use the Peavey on a weekly basis for my band so new screws for the neck would be the most cost effective and time efficient solution. There was a Foundation neck plate and screw set on eBay recently but someone bought it before I got paid, such is my luck!

I'd keep the Squier logo personally, but then it's your bass, not mine! At the very least though it would save you the laborious task of removing the old one, applying a new one and re-lacquering the headstock.

I have a Peavey Foundation bass and the original neck screws were rusted pretty badly and I couldn't get them clean, so I replaced them with a set from Axes R Us. The new screws though are standard Fender-style, and are slightly thinner than the original ones. The neck fits pretty tight in the pocket but I can still wiggle the neck slightly. Where could I buy screws that are thicker than than the Fender-types I've got? I stupidly binned the originals.

My Squier Matt Freeman P Bass is an incredible instrument, it's unbelievably well made and finished. The neck is one of the nicest I've played. Nothing needs changed on it either, I left mine stock.

[quote name='sblueplanet' timestamp='1418602637' post='2631699'] I would like to replace the pickup wires on my jazz bass with cloth wiring. Is this a possible D.I.Y. task or does it need done by a professional? [/quote] The wires on my Wizard Thumper came off and I soldered them back on with no problems, I just made sure that I didn't have the soldering iron on the contact point for too long as the winding wire is so thin I didn't want to break it.

I had a bass delivered last week and I've got all the packaging for it if anyone wants it? There's an angled box, a larger rectangular box for putting the angled one inside, and a load of bubble wrap & brown paper too. Perfect if you need to courier a bass. Pickup from the Southside of Glasgow.

WOW! I love Nash basses, some of the work they do is incredible. Congrats on the great win!
