    Couple more pics of my 2011 Ian Hill (which looks like it sat in its case, untouched, bar the missing control plate screws). Enjoying the slim neck profile

    Hi all, I just picked up a really nice first version Ian Hill PJ but its missing 3 of the tiny control cavity screws. Here is the bass and the control plate. Anyone know where I can pick up some spare screws to fully secure the plate?

    Hoping a Spector owner can help here? I have just bought an early 2010s Ian Hill signature (the original PJ version, not 50th Anniversary) and it only has 2 of the small flathead black screws holding the plastic control cavity cover in place. I need to get hold of 3 more screws to fully secure it. Can you tell me if there is a model number/specification for these screws so I can track some down on the web? Thx Clarky

    The seller's postcode in original post (LL12 0BX) indicates he is from Wrexham, Wales. No affiliation, just trying to help! PS, lovely bass and GLWYS!

    You could try me with a VERY close offer (I paid more than my asking price from BassBros ...)

    Of that, I have no doubt. Jazz funk greats Morrisey Mullen were no slouches and he has also played with UK jazz stalwarts like Alan Barnes. But that's not my point

    The Bass Gallery have a 1961 Jazz Bass for sale from the octogenarian (ahem) jazz bass player Jim Richardson. While I am sure he has a wonderful reputation and back catalogue, is that reason enough to pay £9k for a beat-up, over-sprayed (seemingly in bitumen), modded (non-original electronics and fretboard) bass that looks like its been in a fire? Maybe I am being unkind but the pricing seems WAY off to me. https://thebassgallery.com/products/fender-jazz-bass-1961-ex-jim-richardson

    More pics in current livery (taken a few weeks ago when it was wearing flats, now has D'Addario 45-100 nickels on) and one of the digital scales. Also I forgot to say that I like low action and a flat neck relief (if that's the correct description). I have put a sliver of paper under the E string where it passes over the nut to avoid slight buzz around the 8th fret. This wouldn't be an issue if you liked medium action, flats or a different relief profile (it didn't buzz, for example, when it came to me from BassBros, its just the vagaries of my setup)

    I bought this from BassBros a couple of months ago and upgraded the white pickguard to a black one for added coolness. The lightest Jazz I have ever played at 8 pounds, yes you read that correctly. Unfortunately I am not getting on with the neck profile (I previously had a super-thin necked Geddy Jazz and this is quite deep front to back, almost like a chunky P bass neck but with narrower nut width). It hasn't left the house since I got it and is in super 9.5/10 condition (a few tiny, barely visible scratches around the drilled bridge cover holes). Comes with Fender case, covers, white guard etc. Collect from SW13 London or post at cost within UK. NO TRADES unless a 2010s Spector Ian Hill P/J in black (the one with the slimmed down neck profile). Last pic was taken today, to show black guard, the rest were sent to me by Will from BassBros (it didn't actually go on their website as I heard about it before Will had put together the advert).

    Since this thread has the attention of Spector owners, just a quick note that I am trying to find a first generation Spector Ian Hill. In case this is of interest to one of you. Cheers Clarky

    One of a kind Flying V bass made by Ken Smith for Stanley Clarke. A cool £10k (give or take) at the Bass Gallery. Like the Spellbinder, this unfortunately does nothing for me aesthetically https://thebassgallery.com/products/ken-smith-bespoke-b-bass-1981-ex-stanley-clarke

    Bought/traded a lovely bass from Alex. As before, all good and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to other BC members.

    Interesting how the original saddles clearly were not fit for purpose from the picture above. So its a bit surprising that Fender should seek to replicate, even if for authenticity

    Originally Fender used bakelite saddles, I believe
