    Bump! Would consider a trade for some high grade adhesive insulation foil if someone has any spare

    Another bump, down to a tenner now.

    [quote name='Hit&Run' post='759896' date='Feb 28 2010, 04:46 PM']Is this the normal width strap or one of the 3" wide versions? Thanks[/quote] Normal width, just 2". Consider this bumped!

    I've just had a Mighty Mite neck put on my Marcus Miller Jazz and it's excellent, really nice and comfy to play with the satin finish. The only issue I had was that the heel of the neck was too big for the neck pocket on the body, so I had to have a tech widen the pocket to take the neck. There were a few sharp fret ends and the tuner holes were slightly too big for the Hipshot bushings I had, but they're great necks and a total bargain to boot.

    [attachment=41872:DiMarzio..._Blk_300.jpg] Dimarzio ClipLock strap in black. I'm looking to get rid of it as even at it's shortest length it's still just a bit too long for my liking. The picture above is not one of my own, but just to show you what it's like. It cost £18 new, I'm looking for £10 inc. postage. EDIT: I had 2, sold one, now I'm looking to sell the second one

    [quote name='HarryPotter' post='732225' date='Feb 1 2010, 09:08 PM']Oh yeah, and where do you order a new neck for a Marcus Miller from?[/quote] It's not a Marcus Miller neck sadly, it's just a maple Mighty Mite one. Taking it to the shop to have it fitted on Friday.

    [quote name='Paul_C' post='731988' date='Feb 1 2010, 06:07 PM']passive pickups will be fine - most active basses have passive pickups and a preamp.[/quote] Cheers, I was thinking about sticking in a set of Wizards or Dimarzios but didn't want to buy a set of passives only to find that the pickups wont work with the preamp.

    Would I be able to change the pickups in my Fender Marcus Miller Jazz and still use the pre-amp? As far as I can work out, it's 2 passive J-Bass pickups, with an optional 2 band pre-amp that I can switch in and out. In passive mode the MM sounds quite weedy, which is why I was thinking of changing the pickups. If I do, is it just a straight swap, or do I need active pickups or anything like that?

    Bump - Reduced to £60. This needs to go!
  15. Jono Bolton
    Bumped again!
  16. Jono Bolton
    Still here!

    Ok, the heel of the neck is 27mm all in. To give you an idea of comparison, my Mexican Jazz neck is only 24mm at the heel.
  18. Jono Bolton
    I'll get the tape measure out tonight for you!
  19. Jono Bolton
    No takers? Too pricey? I'm open to offers! I'm can't think of anything I'd be looking to trade for, but let's see what you can tempt me with!
  20. Jono Bolton

    Anyone know anything about this [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/70s-Craftsman-Precision-Bass-Guitar-Japanese-Lawsuit-NR_W0QQitemZ120478339348QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV?hash=item1c0d119114"]Craftsman P Bass[/url]?

    I'm tempted to go and have a look at this if it's still there, it's just around the corner from where I work. No pictures though. [url="http://glasgow.gumtree.com/glasgow/00/47227700.html"]Epiphone Thunderbird[/url]

    Should also mention that from previos experience, it will be about £7 for postage on this.

    Picture time! [attachment=34496:Picture_008.jpg] [attachment=34497:Picture_009.jpg] [attachment=34498:Picture_010.jpg] [attachment=34499:Picture_011.jpg] [attachment=34500:Picture_012.jpg] If you look closely, you can see a few dings from where I tried taking the tuner bushings out. After that I decided to push the rest through from the back rather than trying to lever them out from the front [attachment=34501:Picture_013.jpg] [attachment=34503:Picture_016.jpg] [attachment=34504:Picture_018.jpg] This is a failed attempt to give a close up shot of the grain, but you get the idea. It is a nice grain. [attachment=34502:Picture_015.jpg]

    I'm replacing the WD neck that I currently have on my Marcus Miller Jazz. I'll admit that I did have a few issues with the neck, mainly the thickness of the heel which mean that the strings were miles away from the pickups, but someone with more skill and patience than I could take a few millimetres off to get the strings down to a more managable height. That's thickness of the heel from fingerboard down, not width, by the way. As the neck has been on the Marcus Miller, it has been drilled for a 3 bolt neck plate, not the standard 4 bolt. However, it should be easy enough to fill the third hole and drill 2 more to make it a normal fit. I've no pictures until I can get at my girlfriend's camera tonight, but here's a link to the WD site which is where I bought it from in June: [url="http://www.wdmusic.co.uk/product/BASS_NECK_MAPLE_BMA"]Maple Jazz Neck[/url] The review on there is one I left, although I should point out that on further inspection, the heel of the neck isn't quite as squared off as I thought, and fitting was fairly easy. I paid £170 in June but as I'm looking to get rid of it quite quickly, how does £70 sound? It is a nice, fast neck and the sharp edges to the fingerboard I mentioned in the review on the WD site have been nicely worn in. Pictures will be up from tomorrow. Cheers Jono EDIT: Should also point out that the headstock has been drilled for a string retainer on the front and Hipshot HB-2 60s style machine heads on the back
