The problem is that I can not put in the screw that is holding the tuning peg on the tuner in anymore because the part of the tuner is bent and the screw does not get any grip anymore.

Hello everyone

Today I managed to break one of the tuners of my 1985 JD Thumb fourstring while simply trying to replace the tuning peg ...

I have to replace the whole tuner now but since the bass is from 1985 it uses those old Schaller M4 tuners.

Long story short I would like to replace all 4 tuners with new tuners, or, if possible, get a set or at least one of those old Schaller M4B tuners.

This bass has special angled bushings. The old ones require those old M4 tuners and are made of plastic. So I If I do not find at least one of those old Schaller M4B tuners I have to replace those old bushings with new ones that Warwick sells.

According to the description of this bushing all new Schaller M4 tuners with a 14mm post diameter will fit. Is that correct?

But do you guys know if other tuners with 14mm post diameter will fit those bushings as well? e.g. Hip Shot Ultralite 3/8"

Alternatively ... does anybody know where I can get at least one of those old Schaller M4B tuners?

Thanks
Dan

The condition in general is very good except for two aspects:

1) I managed to put some Dings and Dongs into the body (See pictures)

One more picture to explain the electronics 

Oh and just in case that you ask yourself "Why does he sell this beauty so cheap?"

-> The resale value of Warmoth stuff is donkey ass

Hello all

Up for sale is the Warmoth PJ project that was finished 2020 and is built from solely highclass parts. It has only seen a few hours of playing in our living room and the practice room of my former band.

The condition ist very good. Some micro scratches and two tiny scruffs on the neck but thats it.

I am selling it now because I have too many basses, too many other hobbies and too many daughters. I just dont have the time to play all my instruments so I want to part with it.

Hi

So the bass is currently equipped with MEC pus and 3band eq. Is that the original equipment or are the EMG pus and the 2band eq that you will add the original equipment?

Thanks

Hello there !

I am wondering where to get a replacement pickguard (10 holes) for a Fender Custom Shop Precision bass.

I called Fender but I feel like the two persons I talked to didn't even understand my point. I also searched the web but besides companies that offer custom pickguards I could not find anything that is directly available to order.

I am looking for a cream/black/cream pickguard.

Does anyone in here know a source where to get that ?

Thanks in advance
Dan

Is that a blue or a purple colored bass ?

Yes, still available. Are you in Italy? I'm afraid I can't post internationally. Thanks

You should take a look at your forwarder of choice and his offerings. Shipping internationally, even into a different customs territory, is not as complicated as you may think and it opens up a new level of potential customers for you UK people

Oh an btw: Beautiful and versatile bass

Yes, it was Andertons.

Ha, I was so tempted to buy it from them since the price was quite good - I think 1.399 GBP or even less? - but then "someone" was faster

I'm back in G&L land after some time out.  Here's the CLF Research L-1000 I took possession of this week:

 

 

 

Royal purple.  Lovely finish, difficult to photograph

 

Did you get it from Andertons if I may ask?

I am looking for a purple L 1000 or LB 100 at the moment which is pretty tough if you don't want to place an option order that takes 6-12 months at the moment. The availability of US made G&L basses in Europe is quite poor.

I own a purple L 2000 but I want more G&Ls in my life  

 

SOLD so please close/delete

Withdrawn since I decided to keep it

Please close/delete

I really shouldn't have come to this thread - now regretting selling mine.

Buy mine

Hey everyone,

Thank you for offering some interesting trade options. I am still checking one or two.

But since I prefer to receive cash I would like to lower my requested price incl. shipping within the European Union to SOLD

(I also listed this bass on REVERB now)

To help you undecided people to make a clever decision I decided to cover the shipping costs on my own.

So that means --> SOLD incl. shipping within the European Union

Thanks,
Dan

Phew, now that's quite a bargain. Almost 50% discount on the retail price and you get a Big Muff on top. Someone should grab this fast.

Hey, I changed my mind and decided to accept trade offers (+cash) now.
