  1. Thanks for the fast replies gents, this is much appreciated. I suspected myself that the truss rod is no longer anchored (If I place my ear on the neck as I turn it, I'm sure I can hear the whole thing rotating along its length). I've started the search for a good luthier in the southwest region, hopefully they will be able to get the fretboard off and sort her our. If not, then I guess its a brand new neck! For reference; i'll attach some before and after photos to show how nice it came out, and how much I want to get the bloody thing working properly again!!!
  2. So after finally finishing my weeks long renovation of the warwick corvette 5 which I picked up (complete re-finish, with brand new nut), impatience and perfectionism got the better of me. Aiming to get the neck as straight as possible, i gave the truss rod more than she can handle. Resulting in a big snap/ping. I immediately felt very silly, as I've been doing these kind of adjustments for years. The nut head is fine, however the truss rod now just loosely rotates, without adding tension to the neck. This is a bolt on type neck. I'm pretty desperate to get this fixed considering the amount of hours invested in her. I've read a few topics on similar issues, but there's not been much in the way of meaningful solutions. And so here I am, late on a Saturday night after many rums, crying out for any help! I'm willing to pay good money if there is a fix available! (photos of the work now attached for reference!)
  3. Pics of the neck pocket have been added for you. J
  4. I previously owned one of these bad boys. Sounded and looked the part at some reggae gigs. This is a bargain! GLWTS
  5. Hi Jebo, this is a factory lined model. The fretboard is in excellent condition. Hi Henry, yes this indeed a 38mm nut. thanks.
  6. If I hadn't purchased a standard 5 corvette a fortnight ago, I would have snapped this up in an instant. Good luck with the sale!
  7. Price drop for this beautiful lady. My moving date is coming closer, she deserves a new loving home.
  8. After a long period of inactivity - this is now up for sale again. Bump to the top! Willing to listen to reasonable offers!
  9. Thanks for the info Kenny, and thanks for the link to that resource!
  10. Sorry missed the post about the weight - i'm currently without a set of scales! But as a bass guitar goes she's not hard on the back at all.
  11. [size=5]SOLD![/size] [size=5]If you are in the market for one of these, then you probably already know what they are all about! [/size] [size=5]I'm not aware of the precise year this was created, but it is a 1980's version. Color is a metallic Teal. It is in excellent condition, with only minor scuffs to the paint work, and a small amount of buckle rash. Truss-rod work is in working order (recently adjusted). All electrics and pick-ups are in good order. [/size] [size=5]The fretboard has been recently dressed, and is immaculate. Currently strung with Fender flat-wounds.[/size] [size=5]I don't use this in a band-situation, so I would be happy to pass this on to a new owner. Viewings are welcome in Bristol area, drop me a PM if you are interested. [/size]
  12. Hi, where are you located? (For prospect of having a peek) thanks
  13. Purchased a lovely 5 string american jazz from James. Excellent price, fast and clear communication throughout, and handled all the courier business himself. Highly recommended seller, thanks very much!
  14. Hey, I've experienced the exact same issue with the this Board - the spacing is pretty damn tight! I saw a set of Boss patch cables on ebay from 'Merica, looked about 25 quid for the set, but unfortunately I've not seen them in any online shops. If anyone knows a good alternative, then please let me know also!
  15. I own this model myself and can vouch for its excellent tone and power - and its weight! Has served me well for many smaller gigs, got the room shaking!
  16. Hey, is this still available or sold? Please let me know, cheers!
  17. Looks great with the black pick guard - PM sent
  18. Hi man, I tried to pm you but there was a problem. Is this bass still available? Cheers
