[quote name='warwickhunt' timestamp='1353689439' post='1877542'] The 'replacement' neck defo isn't a pukka Tokai one; aside from the badly applied tattoo it is just the wrong shape! I'd doubt the body was Tokai either. [/quote] Yeah, I thought as much... Maybe its a Warwick

Tokai Faker???

Marc bought a bridge from me. No probs & good guy to deal with. Cheers, Anth.

Bought some strings from Zig, Fast delivery & well packed. Cheers, Anth.

I paid for a bass & Martyn refunded me the money the same night as there was a mix up. I emailed him about a Cream P that I thought was for sale & he thought I was on about his Black P. The cream one had already been sold but he had not updated the for sale thread & he had since listed a Black one! My mistake as I should have been clearer about the bass. A top guy all round, Cheers - Anth.

Or you could get one made... [sharedmedia=core:attachments:122316] [sharedmedia=core:attachments:122317]

Thanks for the detailed reply, I play sitting down 99% of the time so the neck weight or balance seems ok for me at the moment but Its a good point. I'd be lucky to play 3 hours a week at the moment Cheers - Anth

Cheers for the info mate

How can you tell if a neck is heavy?

[quote name='neepheid' timestamp='1352455212' post='1863194'] I don't think there's much to be gained beyond the aesthetic. If they work (by work I mean hold a string in tune, turn smoothly, no loose bits rattling when subjected to string vibration) then I'd say leave 'em and spend your pennies on something else. [/quote] Yeah, I did think that as long as they work then like you said it just what they look like. Same kind of thing that a Skoda will get you to the shops a well as a Ferrari (You may get a hotter chick with the Sportscar though!) I was looking at these: [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BASS-GUITAR-MACHINE-HEADS-FOR-FENDER-PRECISION-MUSICMAN-ETC-ELIPHANT-EAR-CHROME-/190584091580?pt=UK_Guitar_Accessories&hash=item2c5fb273bc"]http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BASS-GUITAR-MACHINE-HEADS-FOR-FENDER-PRECISION-MUSICMAN-ETC-ELIPHANT-EAR-CHROME-/190584091580?pt=UK_Guitar_Accessories&hash=item2c5fb273bc[/url] Cheers, Anth.

Does the machine heads or tuners make much difference? I have some hipshot reverse on a put together which are fine, I had some squier tuners on a vmj which were also great & I've got some genuine fender stamped tuners. Apart from what they look like they all seem to hold tune well enough so is it worth paying more money for tuners? Cheers, Anth.

Bought a Neck & a scratchplate from Gary, Well packed stuff & great guy to deal with. Would defo buy again from him. Thanks, Anth.

Bought a Precision Neck from Mark & as usual its a Great Item. I have bought & traded with Mark a good few times now & have had no problems whatsoever. He is a Top chap to deal with & keeps you updated throughout. If he lived any closer to me I'd Defo buy him a Beer! (Well. Maybe a Half) Cheers, Anth.
