[quote name='Dazed' timestamp='1457469760' post='2998929'] Bass Direct ? What like this used T4 thats just turned up there......... My weakness for basses continues and all from a few pictures! [/quote] I need a white one. If it was white it would now be with me

[quote name='Cosmo Valdemar' timestamp='1457085367' post='2995088'] Links aren't working for me... [/quote] I can't post anything. When I go to photobucket and click on the direct link, it shows me the picture in my post, untill I actually post it. any help is welcomed

I can't upload any pictures, I've no idea why And it sounds like a Precision which was pretty much the brief

Thanks for the info is £700 a good price?

I'm thinking of buying a white one with a r/wood board. My friend has one for sale for £700. Looks like 3 band eq (4 knobs). Do they all have the piezo pickup? Opinions please Thanks

I used to play fretless in a rock band and always used a flanger. I thought it sounded good but these days when I play anything (fretted or fretless) no effects come anywhere near me

Does anyone know Frank Adams from BEM, or any of the staff that worked there in the 1990s. Some of you may remember that I'm looking for a specific Jackson USA bass guitar, which I know BEM had it up for sale for ages, for £699. I've searched different forums and facebook for this bass but have, so far, drawn a blank

I used to have a white Scarab. Somewhere I may even have a picture. It was a lovely bass guitar. Really well made. Sold it many many years ago (27 I think)

[quote name='hiram.k.hackenbacker' timestamp='1455896110' post='2983429'] So you're saying there isn't a price you could name that would persuade you to let it go? [/quote] you got it. If my house was burning down, it's the only possession I would try and save.

when something beats my old '73 P bass I'll use it .I've been gigging it for just over 25 years. I have loads of basses but always go back to it But I don't really like coffee table looking basses, but I could always paint it white!

that's what I'm hoping for

he did explain it to me but I don't really understand but he said it was no good. It adjusts very slightly but then slips back

it's been to my local and highly respected luthier. He's seen it before. It's a shame because I love the bass

So the truss rod doesn't work on my Steve Harris bass. It needs to be tightened just to flatten the neck a little but it keeps winding with nothing happening. Luckily it's still under warranty and the dealer I purchased it from will collect it and send it to Fender. This is the first time in 35 years of playing bass that I've ever had to do a warranty claim on a bass guitar. Amps etc, they've been back from time to time but never a guitar. You can see the cross head and the bass of the fingerboard, it screws further in with nothing happening. Anyone else had this?

sounds great, go for it

[quote name='Coldflows' timestamp='1453370005' post='2958759'] What pups are you using? [/quote] I'm putting a Kent Armstrong Hot vintage in it. They're usually ok. If I don't like it, maybe a tonerider. I've got allsorts at home I could try. I've got a fender reissue p/up in one of my basses, I might try that too

[quote name='paulnb57' timestamp='1453373609' post='2958810'] Any chance of a link to where you got the body and neck from please? Paul [/quote] There was only one available, it won't be a production thing

I've not heard the stock p/ups. I know they've worked on hi-gain clones, which apparently, sound good
