[quote name='debwilliams' timestamp='1341052114' post='1713201'] Will watch replies with interest as I've got a HW One Jazz and love it. If I consider (well more of a when I consider) a P bass, will def look at the HW One P's. Deb Any chance of a pic of your HW One P? [/quote] will have to take a decent pic of it, its in flat black with a tort scratchplate but I still have the original white one. Probably gonna sell it to get a sunburst one as I need one for a tribute band I'm in.

well I've got the flat black one in my profile pic but need a sunburst one for a tribute band so I was looking to sell mine but didn't want to get a CIJ if they were not as good quality as the highway as I personally rate the highway one.

Anyone had either or both of these? I've got a highway one precision but seen a nice sunburst CIJ which I might go for and wondered if the CIJ's are as good build or better than the highway one? Cheers.

[quote name='pete.young' timestamp='1340904575' post='1711393'] How do you know that it's MIJ, the seller tell you? It's not stated in the ad. If 'MPN' in the ad refers to the serial number, a 'T' followed by 6 digits would be right for a MIJ from 1994-1995. [/quote] The seller told me. I left it in the end because I asked for more pics and all he sent was blown up shots of the same pic on ebay!!!!

cheers, I'm awaiting more pics as they were tiny and terrible quality so I was a bit hesitant as the bass is difficult to see any distinguishing marks! thanks for the replies.

........ When did they cease production? looking at one and not sure if it's the real deal!!! thanks

[quote name='andydye' timestamp='1340882056' post='1710925'] you defo need more better pics, esp some front & rear headstock shots looks nice though! I promise not to bid [/quote] hehe! bid away if you want, without better pics I'm a bit dubious as you would expect someone selling a fender to have a few close ups and headstock pics!

cheers, thanks for posting the link. poor pics considering it's a MIJ.

looking at a fender p on ebay thats ending later but can't make my mind up if it's a genuine one or not as the seller has only taken a couple of pictures. apparently its a MIJ one. Is there a fender expert on here that might be able to identify it as genuine? cheers. can't get on ebay at work to put a link up but the item number is 271003344261. thanks in advance for any advice.

[quote name='KiOgon' timestamp='1340562386' post='1706291'] How is the action set - what gap is there between the 12th fret & the underside of the strings? The higher the action, the more the string has to move, from open/harmonic to fretted, the more tension is changed & the more difficult it is to set the intonation. Also make sure you're not pressing the string 'behind the fret' as you might when playing, just the most gentle touch to hold the string directly onto the fret is all you need. Also - what tuner are you using? Apologies if you know all this already, I'm guessing not? Cheerz, john [/quote] The action is quite low(about 4-5mm) the tuner is a korg pitchblack. I suppose it's all about practising! Never attempted it before as I'm a ex drummer!! So all of the advice received is great, thanks.

The bass is brand new from Rattle and Drum in Derby so the strings are also new. I checked the intonation and the fretted 12th was very flat compared to the harmonic and after adjusting quite a bit it was hardly any better. I'm a newbie to bass so wasn't sure how much i could adjust the saddles before I bugger them up as the spring over the screw is starting to bend quite a bit already!! I have one bass that's spot on but my fender precision won't get quite perfect either. Will I damage the spring if i keep adjusting the saddle?? Thanks for the info guys.

Hi, just bought an Ibanez Srx430 new and the intonation is not great. Looked at a few sites, some say you'll never get perfect intonation on a stringed instrument others say you can! Some say to tune the open string to the 12th fret and others say to tune the 12th fret to the harmonic on the 12th?!? I've tried all ways but can't seem to get the bas*$€^d right!!! Is it possible to get the intonation bang on or only on megabucks basses? And if so how? Your expertise is welcomed as ever! Cheers

Just swapped basses with Andy and it was a pleasure to meet and do business with. The Peavey I got from him was cracking and he is an all round good egg so thought I'd start a feedback thread for him.

bought a pitchblack in the end, a steal off the bay!

Anyone recommend a good electronic tuner? I've heard good things about the korg pitchblack and boss tu-15 but that's from people trying to sell me one so not sure! Or are they all much of a muchness? Your comments and knowledge appreciated as always.
