I didn't know there were MAGA boutique builders - I would have thought the only maga guitars are the chinese ones (that presumably are too expensive to import now!)

Not that I can help with your speakers, but I woudn't call that 'on the blink' - that is way beyond the blink, that is full on broken!

Yes, I noticed it on my 2605, but it certainly wasn't an issue.

Probably was. I found that the taper was almost non existent, and while the spacing at the pickup end was great, the spacing at the neck end was wider than I was used to.

And just for information, there was another attempt made today on the same shipping option attempt that was made earlier. I have shut that account down but the guy is obviously still out there.

I had ne, the spacing was great but the neck spacing was actually quite wide

I saw them in portsmouth guildhall in 1983. I had no idea who they were, I just went to this house of some students that a friend knew, and they said did we want to go to see marillion. Said I had no idea who they were and they said 'oh they are sort of like genesis', so we went. They were great, nothing like genesis obviously, but it was a good gig. Liked them since then.

My action is a bit to high on my elwood at the moment, it has put me off adjusting the truss rod!

It relies on the fact they aren't. I refer you to the original explanation of that helps

Ibanez don't expect europeans to have such sausage fingers

It is true that my neck does have a rattle in it, which I asked about before. Doesn't seem to intefere with playing but it is a little irritating

Can see this is a think I will need to get done, although currently I have no actual need of it (ie, the bass is currently fine), although I suppose if I never touch my truss rod (and I haven't for a decade), I probably would never need to.

Yeh - I have seen people busking (notably also with violins) who were playing really well when there hands weren't. I guess its like those sand dog sculptures that are all fake, just a way of making money for people without those tallents. Sad really as I intrinsicly don't trust them now. There was a guy down town yesterday doing showtunes to a backing tape. He was actually very good, but I initially assumed he was just miming to the whole thing.

Not so good for me - I looked at their map, I am not sure if I am in their range, if I am I am right on the edge!

I can't imagine it would be possible to detect any sound difference by changing a bridge! But now I look at those figures it is tempting, my euro weighs quite a lot

Yes, always handy, but remember this doesn't help with a man in the middle attack as you are not talking to the person with the feedback

Good plan, I will make a hawkwind tribute called Motorhead I guess it would be a better name than Lost Johnny!

Unless they are controlled by builders, who for some reason need to play whatever mainstream music station as loud as it can be played.

Ah we just did masters of the universe and you shouldn't do that.

Its a nice place to do a outdoor gig in the little building they have out the back there.

Me too - I did a couple of songs once as a one off

I would happily go and see a pink floyd tribute that did meddle and promised not to do money!

Ineed - that would have been a catalogue item, there were a set of list basses you could get or you could just message them and ask for something specific, which is what appealed, so mine actually has a neck baseed on the measurements of my ibanez 1605 and a chambered body

Mine was made in 2016 - it was a full custom, I assume it is probably the same as yours. It is certainly one of my top basses so if it did break I know where to go!

Private messages? No there is no issue with those. This is a problem as described above based on public messages
