Does anyone have a reliable nut width for a Tribute LB-100? What's the neck profile like too?

Cheers,

So anyway, from the ridiculous to the sublime....

The first P Bass was packed off from whence it came and the very next day I had a meeting in Cardiff and happened (ahem) to find myself arriving about an hour early, so a visit to PMT was in order. 

PMT isn't usually my first port of call, especially for online orders but I've always found the guys in Bristol particularly accommodating and have been on tot eh Cardiff store a few times. I always find the store a bit lacking in the Bass department but I knew they had another American Professional in stock in my favoured colour scheme. 

After playing on it for five minutes I really really liked it but was still very wary given the issues with the first bass. Fortunately, Gavin who was looking after me was game enough to see if the truss rod would adjust properly and was then kind enough to let me adjust the saddles to get closer to the sort of action I prefer. After 15 minutes or so of fettling I fell in love with it and decided it was coming home with me. 

I love  the colour (Mystic Surf Green), I love the neck and the dark rosewood fingerboard and it plays beautifully. What's more, it's very light too. It couldn't be more different to the first one I tried and really is in my opinion a vast step up from some of the more recent US Fenders over the last 10 years or so. 

My thanks to PMT too and especially Gavin who really went the extra mile for me. 
 

 

And the perfect resolution!

Enjoy

That's a real shame, but glad to hear you returned it. I won't buy Fenders sight unseen anymore because I don't feel that I can trust the consistency of their qc.

Has anyone had noise issues with these pups? Recently retrofitted to an MTD Kingston and I'm getting a faint click/hiss when the casings are touched.

Great practice headphones these.

What a peach! Very tempting indeed...

Bargain!

Well, as previously and rightly concluded, the notion of a GOAT in any field is plainly balls...

Personally, a few whom I have always found spellbinding:

BB King, Clapton, Pat Metheny, Tony Rice, John Frusciante, George Benson, Django, Hendrix, John Martyn, SRV, John Mayer.

Whereabouts in Manchester mate?

Ive no idea what I’d do with it...but it looks cool.

Wheres the body? 😂

In Levenshulme mate. 

No idea about the fate of the (undoubtedly very pointy) body!

Not sure I've priced this right - open to offers.

41mm at the nut and 60mm at the heel.

Bargain - fantastic pedal!

 I love Sharray Reed but he is a session guy. Mono Neon blows him away for playing the bass he plays on this alone. He's a much more exciting bassist. And he plays his bass upside down. 

 

Seriously? Your contributions on here suggest that you're much better than this reductionist nonsense (and that's no slight on Mono Neon)...

Great box for bass, this. 

Cheers!  They do look great...

This is a beaut!

Cheers - I've decided on something else, but appreciate the reply. 

Glwts.

Still available? 

SOLD.

Who owns one? Particularly interested in the PJ.

Cheers, 

Tobie

That is very pretty indeed.

I've got one of these and it's a cracker - really well put together.

My current squeeze is an Aguilar TH500, which I've found to just be a really good gigging amp. It's small, light and loud with a sensible (to my ears) preamp.

Others I've had include an EBS Reidmar (great, loud, clean amp, but more bulky with a fiddly eq); Laney Nexus SLS (beautifully made, solid and hugely versatile. Couldn't fault it, but fancied a change); GK MB500 (simple and effective, but hardly exciting).

I want another Reidmar, though - it just does the hi-fi sparkle so well. 

Want.
