[quote name='Adee' timestamp='1416992047' post='2615734'] Hi Whats up with the Picturedrome?, not quite big enuff to put the full show on but it will be great ! [/quote] Nothing wrong with the Picturedrome mate it is the idiots you get in there half a shandy and fight the world types but I guess you get that anywhere now which is a shame if you want to go and see some music

If it was me I would be fitting a set of these bad boys http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Guitar-neck-bolts-screws-and-inserts-/141484633402?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item20f1242d3a

Saw this and thought fantastic just my thing then I saw where it was

Pretty average and the vocals sucked sorry

Not good laying staff off at xmas I won't be bidding and as truckstop it will only be all the crap that is left and by the time you add fees its not the bargain you think it was

Must admit I dont like the finish but there really is not much of a problem for anyone to get it resprayed if the price is right you could still have a cheapish US Fender

[quote name='stevemaiden' timestamp='1415560249' post='2601485'] Great thread idea - 3 links that don't work tho' are: [url="http://www.fender.com/en-GB/support/basses.php/"]http://www.fender.co...ort/basses.php/[/url] [url="http://www.bassguitarpartsdirect.co.uk/"]http://www.bassguita...tsdirect.co.uk/[/url] [color=#555555][font=Helvetica][u][url="http://www.rane.com/pdf/ranenotes/Sound%20System%20Interconnection.pdf"]http://www.rane.com/pdf/ranenotes/Sound%20...rconnection.pdf[/url][/u][/font][/color] [/quote] None of these seem to work the Fender and rane sites come up 404 not found and the other one does not exist

Gary Mac has a corking 75 Fender P for sale in the marketplace http://basschat.co.uk/topic/236109-1975-fender-p-bass-and-original-case/ Might be a bit over budget but you will never lose money on it

Yep is a fellow Basschatters bass

[quote name='tom1946' timestamp='1416079635' post='2606713'] Well the Thomann special arrived today. I forgot to mention that I've already had one of these and sent it back with a crackly jack socket and a poor action that I couldn't get low enough, they were dearer then, about £320. This new one ended up at £288 delivered BUT, same action problem!! The bass looks perfect, just the action. the strings look deep in the nut and as a result the action won't go low enough at the dusty end. Before I dabbled with these I'd owned 4 Tributes and they were perfect out of the box. I've come to the conclusion that this is why they're cheap. Debating what to do next, any thoughts? [/quote] Bad batch? I would email Thomann and see what they have to say mate there customer service is great. How low is low though Tom? and do these have a micro tilt like on some Fenders? But think speaking to Thomann is best cos if you fiddle with it it might void the warranty some how
