    I'm quite envious, being a big fan of the basses and the man himself. Nice Xmas present, bet you haven't had this many butterflies before Xmas since you were a kid?!

    Thank you Frank, that’s a blinding offer and much appreciated, after Xmas sounds like a good plan. I’ll send you postage costs and make a gift on your behalf to your favoured charity. @kodiakblair did that for me once and I thought it was a great gesture Cheers

    Very cool, will look forward to seeing it completed.
  4. Chiliwailer
    That’s good to read, particularly about the LaBella as I read elsewhere that they wouldn’t fit, great news, cheers.
  5. Chiliwailer
    Agreed, but bizarrely It’s def hitting my ‘guilty pleasure” spot!

    Thanks for all of the replies, very helpful. I've just bought a new Steinberger Spirit, (the Argos collection via eBay is a huge help) I fancied a new one anyway and also having some fun tinkering around with the set up and tone - I read that CTS pots help open up the tone, so I may as well add a pan pot and Fender TBX pot while I'm there - I'll have my tools ready Frank, and may commission a strap extension from you one day if you're willing I'll probably add some Picato flats, but will keep in mind the GHS shout out in case I like it with rounds, cheers lefty. I know what you mean about the PJ Paul, my fear is that my P & J Basses will be a benchmark too high for it to reach! Getting it on Thursday, not expecting much to be honest, but an NBD is an NBD

    I’m looking at getting a Steinberger Spirit XT-2 for when I’m working away from home. Anyone had one? I’m finding mixed reviews, though to be honest I wouldn’t exactly expect much anyway from such a thing! I expect the Hohner B2A would be better quality, but there’s none local to me s/hand, and these days I’m more partial to a new bass over old...unless it’s a 60’s P Bass Any thoughts welcome, I may be pulling the trigger tomorrow morning...

    SOLD Rare Music Man Hard Case, pre EB. Catches and handle work fine. Collection only from Harrow, HA1. Thanks.

    Indeed... I’m kevin, and so is my wife. As for the real Kevin, I’ve known him over 10 years, and though I’ve never had any work done on my bass by him, he’s a lovely fella.

    That’s usually a sign of a rod that’s too tight, this colder time of year doesn’t help. They can be very stiff, often I’ve had to give some heft to budge them first time, don’t be worried if it makes a loud noise either. Try a 1/4 turn at a time, if you’re confident, and can measure the relief. If not, I think there’s a thread in the repairs section about basschatters willing to offer local help for such like things. I’d check out the rod before saddle height. Good luck

    It was 1994 (if it was UK tour I saw)...somehow’ you lost a year

    Looks that way. I really liked the ones I had, much more than the later JV’s I owned, and in fact many other P’s too. Enjoy.

    It mentions the A pocket here, in the first shown spec list http://www.21frets.com/squier_jv/jv_quick_guide.htm
  15. Chiliwailer
    I’ve just got it, the ones I mean has the squire logo at the tip of the head, as well as the big Fender logo, yours doesn’t seem to have that. Maybe 21 frets has a clue for you?
  16. Chiliwailer
    Might be an import v export thing? I’ve seen others with off white single ply plastic ones too.
  17. Chiliwailer
    Have a mooch around the '21 frets' website.

    I'm no JV expert, but the 2 x Fender logo 1982 '57 Reissue P Basses I owned had off white original pickguards. Lovely basses.

    Cheers for posting, STP have always been one of my fave’s. All 4 original members are just so good, and Robert has been a big influence, yet when I hear them play without Scott I find it harder to enjoy, his hooks and melodies were outstsnding.

    Could premier at the WOMaD festival?
  21. Chiliwailer
    Think I’ll do a uke version of a Momats instrumental

    Looking forward to to listening over the next day or two. Have had to stop enjoying taking part as I’m now a Uni student for the first time... but it ain’t teenage kicks with time to play as I’m working hard full time, paying a mortgage and nearing 40

    1959, but what’s in a year?
  25. Chiliwailer
    Indeed they do, very temperamental material. Plus they also go up in flames if you leave them near heat - like too close to a lamp, this happened to a good pal of mine.
