This part of the neck was particularly battered beforehand and I now just marvel at how it looks, and feels.

Good question. Don’t know! It was the size bigger than the one Jon initially suggested and they’re stainless steel.

I had the same fears but they all disappeared as soon as I plugged it in and played it. Think of it like this; everything else has aged wonderfully and now it’s ready to be played like the day it was made.

Over a month ago now, with a little trepidation, I left my 74 Jazz with Jon Shuker for a refret and new nut. Also had a little of the slickness taken off the back of the neck. Had it back a couple of weeks and could not be happier. Plays like a dream. If you’re considering doing this I’d say get it done, you’ll wish, just like I have, that you’d have done it sooner.

My Warwick Thumb bolt-on 2001 Ltd Edition swapped on here with @Rich_uk77 for a 2004 Stingray, which was lovely, but I never got on with it and sold it soon after. I’d love to have that Thumb back. What was I thinking?!

Bought a Boss LMB-3 Limiter Enhancer from Rob. Pedal arrived really quickly in excellent condition and was well packaged. Do not hesitate to interact with Rob who is a top bloke and a credit to Basschat. Highly recommended.

Ah yes!

@lidl e thank you so much for your extensive reply. Very much appreciated. I agree, that there are no overdrives, fuzzes or distortions is in no way a hindrance. Happy to keep on using my Boss tuner as I use it as a mute anyway.

@lidl e ok the Plethora x3 does look and sound amazing. Initial impressions however have it moving dangerously into multi fx territory, for me, something I’m keen to avoid and should have mentioned in my OP. So, how do you rate its ease of use? Particularly with a view to using it live?

Ok cool. I’ll take a look.

Line6 DL4 Mk2 or Boss DD8 and RV6 or TC Electronics Flashback 2 and Hall of Fame 2 Mostly for home noodling but with a view to their being used live.

What is “A/B/Out”? Edit to say: I’ve worked it out! It is late…, kind of.

Bought a Boss ODB-3 from @SumOne. Quick and easy and no delay. Pedal was well packaged and received next day. Recommended.

Regularly used to take late night public transport home from gigs and rehearsals in London with all my gear on my back with no problem. Relax, walk confidently, stay alert, you’ll be fine.
