  1. I'm no expert, but if the rod hasn't broken and the neck isn't cracked then you're probably ok. I have the exact same bass too, also from 2003. I got mine a couple of months ago from @walshy of the Vintage Bass Room. They are lovely. Congrats. Rob
  2. I have indeed, all band gigs are bass now. I do the very occasional unusual guitar gig, the last being "Alien: The Musical" at West End Playhouse in Morecambe a few weeks ago. A four show run including a Saturday matinee. It was an absolute hoot to do. I am also soon to be playing guitar for a 15 year old young woman for her Youtube channel, performing her latest tune alongside other musicians from the Playhouse. One of her offerings has had half a million views! The guitar playing side is more just helping out with community stuff, my main focus for myself is bass. Just back home from the second band rehearsal today! Jazz band afternoon, blues band evening, gig on Friday.
  3. Ahh no, SC staying home that weekend. I'm planning to use the Bergantino with two ONE10's, as I can use just one of the cabs for my quieter gig on the Friday at Holmes Mill. Sorry Shug. I know you love a big rig, I'm not sure a single SC would cut the mustard for you.
  4. Is anyone from here playing over the weekend? I'm not sure how I have managed it, but I have three gigs at the festival this year. Friday night at Holmes Mill with Katoush (instrumental jazz). Then two on Sunday, 2.00pm Aspinall Arms and 7.00pm Rose & Crown with The Out & Out Blues Band. I do know that @shug is at the Rose & Crown on Sunday evening because he's on after us. We've decided to make a weekend of it, so we're staying Friday to Monday in Clitheroe. Rob
  5. Yes. Martin Garton who did my Bassman does it sometimes. You can dismantle CTS pots into all their component parts, clean each part and reassemble. I’ve never had to do it with a guitar though.
  6. I enjoyed it because I love 70’s Precision’s, and have a couple quite like the one in the video. I’m fairly confident with my own setups and soldering and could do everything he did with that one except the fret dressing and the nut. I’d love to learn those skills though, but I’d need a decent workspace and some quite expensive tools, and I just can’t justify it given how much work I would actually do. We do have a workshop, but it’s become my wife’s “woman cave” and is now a ceramics studio with a big kiln in it! I’ll look into that cleaning method. I have perfected the opposite process ironically, ie aging metal parts for relic projects. Rob
  7. I enjoyed that thanks. My toes curled when he started snipping all the wiring off though. I wonder if that was really necessary? I’ve never had to break down a pot yet. CAIG Deoxit has always worked for me. Question. What was the thing he put all the metal parts into to take the rust off, and what was the solution he used in it? Rob
  8. @bridge and @Skin Lewis, as someone not going through what you are, I can’t begin to imagine your situations, therefore it’s hard to know what to say, but I do admire your honesty and ability to speak here. Good luck chaps. Rob.
  9. There are no examples of this logo in “The Fender Bass, An Illustrated History” Rob
  10. The 100 is cheap secondhand, capable, and so very small and light (you can pick it up with one finger), that I just wouldn’t consider a 40.
  11. Indeed. I regularly look at Rightmove north of the border.
  12. Yes, I agree. I have one, the 100, great rehearsal amp for my jazz and blues bands. I’ve not gigged it, but I reckon it would be fine. I got mine for £150 off Facebook. Rob
  13. It's refinished, which generally knocks the value by about 50%.
