    Hey, any interest in a MIM Jazz body? It's some type of metallic green, very good condition (found one small dent and nothing through to the wood) and is lovely and heavy (makes my stingray feel floaty...) It's from a bass i may disassemble rather than repair if it makes economic sense (i snapped the truss rod..) any offers or guides to what it may be worth? don't make me ebay it..... cheers, rich

    Hi, relatively new here so fingers crossed. i recently snapped my truss rod whilst trying to fit the heaviest flatwounds i could buy. I have had little luck in finding a decent new (preferably jazz) bass neck for much less than £100 so was wondering..... can it be fixed cheaply? are there any luthiers out there who could make this repair economically viable? how much would the repair cost? any help would be much appreciated! Thankyou, rich (cardiff)

    Hey, I'm a relative newbie here and just wanted a few opinions on a sticky situation..... my main bass untill recently has been a mexican jazz body, allparts maple f/b p-neck, dimarzio ultrajazz p/u's, badass 2, vintage style tuners etc i snapped the truss rod a few weeks back trying to counter the effects of the heaviest, funkiest flats that money can buy. so a couple of questions, 1.does anyone have a reasonably price jazz neck? ideally maple, but anything jazz shaped will do. 2. can anyone out there fix a truss rod for less than the cost of a new neck? (less than about £90) 3.What is my bass worth as it is? would i get more for it if i split it? 4. PX? i'd probably be up for doing a part exchange with the bass for something like a stingray H/S, a narrow neck warwick (with similar h/s pickups), or something else that would give me a fat funky sound without losing bottom end..... try me! any help with this would be much appreciated as at the moment i am left with a friends ibanez K5 and a......... ........guitar. yuck. save me from a six string nightmare, cheers, rich (cardiff)

    Hi a combination of factors (well, a socket set and the worlds heaviest flatwounds...) lead to the snapping of my truss rod in a precision neck i have on my jazz body. This leaves me with i dilemma: 1. Do i buy a new jazz bass neck? 2. Do i sell the jazz body/dimarzio ultras/ badass etc and buy/buld my dream bass? This would be a stingray h/s with a jazz-width neck..... did anyone see the blueburst ray on ebay yesterday/today? went for pennies! lucky somebody..... 3. Is a truss rod a replaceable thing? is getting it replaced cheaper than a new neck? If anyone has a jazz neck, get in touch. if not, your recommendations please! (incidentally, TLC's waterfalls is truely rocking my bass world) rich

    Hey i've decided (well, the credit crunch has decided) that i should sell my bartolini preamp which i imported at great expense last year for a jazz bass project. I have been playing it passive an am quite happy with the tone so will not be installing the bart!
