    That's a cool bass, and I don't think it would take much TLC to make it playable. I'm going to say '73 though. Rob

    Also, that's a very generous offer, thanks.

    We're exchanging texts right now, he's going to have a look.

    Sorely tempted. Blimey, hard to resist though. I have one already, and two early 400RB's, so it makes no sense, but when did sense come into it? I have alerted a mate on here who will probably buy this. Rob

    @lee650 I always thought these were 760FS! It seems they are a little lighter. If you want to try some lower tension flats, both my P's are strung with LaBella Low Tension Flats. I'm also intrigued by the new band! Rob

    Jim bought a pedal off me last week. Good comms, highly recommended. Thanks, Rob

    Blimey @ash, I'm sorely tempted to buy this just to put it on a stand in the living room and just look at it! For info, @ash is ten minutes away from me, and therefore so is this bass ! Rob

    I'm considering withdrawing this bass if it doesn't sell. I've just re-strung it with D'Addario Nickel Rounds, and it really is a great instrument. The longer I have it, the more likely a project will crop up where I'll need it again! Rob

    Paddy bought a pedal off me this week. He was very patient with some issues I had with shipping. It arrived in the end! Cheers, Rob

    Paul bought my Mono Bass Sleeve this week. Good to deal with, recommended. Thanks, Rob

    Rob bought a few bits and pieces of me recently. He's a good egg. Cheers, Rob

    Dunc bought a lead off me recently. It's not the first time we've traded, always a pleasure. Thanks, Rob

    Andy bought some stands off me recently. Great chap to deal with. Thanks, Rob

    No problem Rob, It's Quay Fabrications in Lancaster - https://www.quayfabs.co.uk/ The place is rather rough and ready, and there's sparks flying and torches burning stuff.

    Thread update. The keyboard player in my band recommended a local metal fabrication workshop to me. I had a chat with the boss and he seemed keen to help me out, so I took along a side from a 400RB-I with rack ears, and a side from my 400RB-II which didn't have rack ears. The sides on the MKI and MKII are NOT interchangeable. I explained what I wanted, which was sides for the MK-II but with the addition of rack ears like the ones on the example MK-I sides. Anyway, I collected them today, and it's worked out well. Here's a few pics, and I must say they are looking rather sexy in their matching SKB Roto racks. Cheers, Rob

    Ordered a custom cable from John last week. It's just what I need and it was made up and sent really quickly. Thanks, Rob

    I look forward to seeing these in person in May Peter! They look great. Rob

    I get it now! Weren't they the band whose PA and amps contravened local strategic arms limitations? Rob

    Fender grill cloth is not hard to replace, and it can look very good. Just buy a staple removing tool and a good stapler. Get the edges as straight as you can, ie fabric pattern matched to edge of frame. The last thing to give it that really professionally done look is to go over it gently but generously with a hairdryer. The heat will tighten the cloth up and give it that really nice taught finish. I would expect the whole job to take less than two hours start to finish even if it's your first time. Rob

    I thought I'd share this pic as I like it so much. My band did a little video shoot last week, and the guitarist is a keen amateur photographer. After we'd finished filming I asked him to take some pics of the basses I'd taken. A brace of '73's. Rob

    So, I bought some of these. I’ve put them on my 73 P bass tonight. They are very very close to the Rosette dots I bought from the US. Just ever so slightly larger. Anyway, they’re on and they look ok. Time will tell if they last, but at least I’ve now got loads of them to replace any that rub off. Rob

    Fortunately I’m away and only have my phone for looking at the moment. I’m sure that when I’m home I’ll look into these a bit more…..
