@thegummy Just ignore me Brother. I spend too much time on TB winding up Americans

Well the necks on Mexican Fenders are made at the Corona factory so they're nearly 50% USA built as is "Rolled edges" ? Don't see that as a major factor to aid bass playing and £250 for an extra pass with the router seems a tad excessive. Still if it works for you, then it works for you.

"[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif] I'd rather have a bit of space around the CS pickup (that you can't see under the pickguard anyway) than a snugly fitting standard ceramic pickup for example "[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif] [/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]£600 for MIM Standard P-bass, £99 for CS pickup.

I mind GAK selling them for £1054 around summertime.

According to Citizens Advice they don't have to sell. https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/consumer/somethings-gone-wrong-with-a-purchase/if-something-is-advertised-at-the-wrong-price/

Just got "Spin & Win" when I tried to check my alerts. Got AdBlock running so it's nothing to do with banners or ads.

Your blog's always a great read FlatEric The patchwork Reeve guitar is a belter,the 2 headless basses are no slouches either.

No Microsoft virus rubbish today,just online gambling and the "Brit Method" money maker scheme. Noticed they happen when I try to read the status comments.

Got a set of strings from Alain this week. Great fella to deal with. Hope to do business again. Cheers Davie

Should have checked here sooner. Been getting this fake windows page for a while now. Only happens on BC and only when I click a link. Anti-virus is up to date, Malaware and Ad Block pro are all running but it still occurs regular. Some "Brit Method" money page pops up too.

VType Congrats on the Wolf. gebass6 has been about the only fella talking about them but he sure likes his. He also has a method of using a belt along with his strap to combat the neck dive.

Mojo You know I felt the same recently with the USA Millennium Vs the BXP version. Still feel the same. Yes the USA has a pretty neck,variable mids and better hardware.Maybe a 1lb lighter too. The BXP's though play and sound fantastic. Plenty other basses don't have variable mids so it's not critical, 35" scale ? It's a 4 string so does it need that extra inch to improve the E. My opinion is no. Gotoh tuners and ABM bridge Vs slightly cheaper Gotoh tuners and mono saddle bridge ? They both hold their tune,intonation and are easy to set up. The USA cost me the same as my 2 BXPs combined. All I can take from this is the BXP Millennium ACs are fantastic basses :-) Different story with my BXP Cirrus Vs the USA ones,definite improvement with the USA models.

Try putting a soldering iron on the damaged screw head for a good few minutes. Let it expand so it cracks any gunk. It'll be easier to remove using these. http://www.diy.com/departments/ptx-mixed-damaged-screw-remover-set-54mm-5-pieces/702452_BQ.prd

Lovely bass the Cort Curbow. White fretless would look amazing. I make do with this [attachment=231957:Curbow 1.jpg] But there's also this to ease the pain [attachment=231958:Maniac (2).jpg]

I'll 2nd the Entwistle neos,they replaced the SD Basslines in my Zodiac DE. The covers are a bit bigger so use the ones from the pickup you're replacing.

If you fancy diy search for posts by "kohanmike" on talkbass ,you'll find plenty of ideas. I liked his LP mod.

Skybone. There's a fella been trying to sell a Rimini in Glasgow for months. Think it's £250 now. Would you like me to try and get his email address and PM you with it ?

I Think We're Alone Now also covered by Screeching Weasel

I remember Speedway doing Genie in a Bottle a few years back. What's Up by 4 Non Blondes,Zombie by the Cranberries (covered by Screeching Weasel) come to mind. Plenty songs by Pink should work too.

Try and track down Nick Springetti. He built some guitars for Gordon Giltrap like this headless travel guitar. [attachment=231590:_full_SpringettFrontFull.jpg] [attachment=231591:_full_SpringettCloseUp.jpg]

Enjoyed that,always liked Nathans' playing.
