    These are decent bridges; I have them on both of my P Basses

    Being serious though, I've not tried any Fender-style short scales that didn't have a bit of neck dive. I'd probably look at swapping the tuners for lightweight ones to see if it helps balance things out

    A stool is generally cheaper than a new bass

    Good price on this, I was looking at these just last night and people are generally asking for a lot more for these models.

    Squier JV reverse gear tuners in nickel/chrome. Bought from a fellow Basschatter about 6 months ago for my P Bass build, but I recently bought a new neck for it which came with tuners fitted, so these are no longer required. Solid, chunky tuners in good condition for being 40 years old. Will come with screws and ferrules but I can't be 100% sure that they're original, but they all fit together. Price is £40 plus postage, which is the price I paid for them.

    Those Ps are fantastic

    The stock pickup in the Matt Freeman Precision is excellent. One of the Matt Freemans I owned came with a Quarter Pounder pickup fitted and I asked the seller to include the stock one too. He messaged me after he'd shipped the bass and said he'd forgotten to throw in the original, so I made sure he posted it to me separately so that it could fit it back in because I love that pickup, and I hate the sound of Quarter Pounders. It's partly the reason why I refer to such things as modifications rather than upgrades, as I find the term 'upgrade' to be entirely subjective.

    These are 1100 quid new
  9. Jono Bolton
    Agreed. The compensation should be at least equal to the cost of repairing it, which would be more than a hundred quid.

    Some pictures of it might help

    A wee update on my bitsa P; I didn't get on with the Road Worn neck so when @Studio GC put his Classic 50s Precision neck up in the Marketplace earlier in the week, I snapped it up. I know I'm probably in the minority, but I prefer glossy necks to satin. It's also a better fit in the pocket than the Road Worn, so nice and snug now. The gold Fender anodised aluminium pickguard didn't quite fit round the heel so it's got my old JV pickguard on there as a temporary measure while I decide what to put on it, though I don't hate it as it is now. As ever, the true colour is hard to capture in photos, it's still much more pale than the pictures suggest ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Bought a Fender Classic 50 P Bass neck from Gunnar. It was exactly as described and he sorted it all very quickly, even organising delivery so it was arrive on a day when there was going to be someone at home to receive it. Top man, fully recommended!

    I've had an EVO II 300 head, and currently have an EVO II 300 1x10 combo, and they were/are both great. I don't need this, but I'm still very tempted.

    I don't think it has reverse-gear tuners. It's a 70s-style bass, and Fender had done away with the reverse-gear tuners in the '60s.

    I'd need to see the seafoam green in the flesh; it looks a lot more pastel in that video than it does in any pictures I've seen of it.
  16. Jono Bolton
    Given that the equivalent American-made Fender is double that, it seems reasonable
  17. Jono Bolton
    I like the Fiesta Red, but the nut width looks the same as the Squiers and it really isn't manageable for me; needs to be wider. The Telebasses and the Jazzes look nice.
  18. Jono Bolton
    Correct answer
  19. Jono Bolton
    Ooft

    As decent as a BBOT bridge can be, yes. Hosco stuff is generally pretty well made.
  21. Jono Bolton
    I've got one of these on my P Bass. It's a full bridge unit, rather than individual saddles: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/323897704558?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=2CqW-pdbQIe&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=UbetCfLcTBW&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

    Fender 9050L Flatwound Bass Strings, .045-.100. I bought them at the start of the year and had them fitted to my P Bass but they're too bright for me so I recently swapped them out for a set of Elites Detroit flats. Cut for a top-loading P Bass with about 2 or 3 winds on the tuner post. Silks are light green with very little wear. Can add a picture if required. Price includes postage.

    I'm moving house in a few weeks so I'm going through some bits and pieces and clearing out stuff I'm not using. Bought from Strung Out Guitars in Glasgow about this time last year for £60, but I've hardly used it. Some light surface marks but in full working order. This is the 18v version which requires 2 9v batteries (included). The 18v is apparently more sought-after than the later 9v version, more headroom or something.

    I'm moving house in a few weeks so I'm going through some bits and pieces and clearing out what I don't need. I've had this just over a year but I've only used it a handful of times. It's in excellent condition and comes with the original box and manual (and sticker). Postage can be arranged for an additional fiver.

    It does, I was thinking of the Shell Pink that Squier used on the Classic Vibe Bass VI and Jaguar/Jazzmasters (plus a few Mexican Fender models). They did a Squier Paranormal Super Sonic in Shell Pink that looks to be the same as the Rascal, and it was much closer to the "correct" shade IMO. The few pictures & videos I've seen of the Shell Pink Rascal look very good, I just need to try and get a shot of one first to see how I get on with the scale and the neck.
