  1. Very nice. Could you measure the neck pocket dimensions, please? Ta.
  2. I just got a nice John East preamp from Brian. Arrived instantly and works perfectly. Thanks Brian!
  3. From my own experience, I would say you may need to shim it on at least one side. If it’s an HB Jazz Bass body, the holes for the pickup lugs will be in the wrong place if you use non HB pickups.
  4. Pure dead brilliant.
  5. My in-laws live in Camberwell Grove. I love the area. Do you know Nandine's on Vestry Road and on Church Street?
  6. I've got a pair of these. Excellent speakers, especially if paired with a sub. GLWTS.
  7. Jings that’s a real man’s bass.
  8. 😍😍😍😍
  9. Yeah, bass player on that, what a tosser. Amateur!
  10. Same here.
  11. Gawd bless yer lordship. I’ve got far too many guitars and basses as it is.
  12. 😍😍😍😍😍😍

  14. A man after my own heart. I've got an MIJ Strat from the 80's. I love it. And a Balladeer I bought in 1975, with a whole term's student grant-£150. Snapped the headstock twice. I put carbon rods in and it holds its tuning better than when new. I would LOVE one of those Ovation classical guitars, they sound so good to my tired old ears. How I envy you.
  15. Wow, that’s a nice looking example of a Tacoma. I’ve had two Tacoma guitars, and they are great. GLWTS.
  16. Old Fart Alert. Jeepers. A blast from the past. I recall going to see Fanny supporting Jethro Tull in Edinburgh. 1974 or so. Before promenading to the Usher Hall (I think), we smoked a LOT of interesting cigarettes, as was our custom. It seemed to take about FIVE DAYS to wend our way through the streets of Auld Reekie to the venue. What a night. Both bands were in their pomp, and played their hearts out. The Millington sisters had the crowd eating out of their hands. If you were there, YMMV.
  17. It looks like it should be very neck heavy, but in fact not so much. I use one of those straps with bubble wrap like material on the inside face, and I have no problems. It feels very compact, and I want to fly around on it because it's very easy to play. I went over to a five string regular scale bass, and when I go back to the Chowny it's like a jet plane.
  18. Nice! And only fifteen minutes away. Oh dear.
  19. What he said. The scarf joint is a good idea in my view. In any case the bass is built like a tank. The build quality is good, no complaints. I think the active circuit is good to have because I like to play on the back pickup, and it needs a bit of bass boost. The only complaint I have is that I would like to have a pickup pan pot. Probably easy to obtain and install but I know nothing of elecktrickery.
  20. I've for one. What would you like to know?
