@fleabag The fella to ask @entwistlepickups.com is Simon. Poor bugger had to send me out 2 as the 1st was one of many guitar related items addressed to me lost by the post office. £24 inc postage rings a bell.

I bought one from them last month, just emailed and asked . It's a stock item in some Revelation basses so ask Sutherland Trading if Wrexham can't help. Already have 3 of those beauties so I'm good.

My La Bella LT's arrived this morning Nice strings,feel about the same as TIs. The TIs have at least a 3 year head start so only time will tell how the LTs settle in. Not a bad set of strings and a decent price too.

Can only live in hope my brother

Sorry Pete Talking out my backside. Again !!. Was certain I'd saw one but looking through last year's photos on the SGC facebook page turned up nothing.

@Harryburke14 The Entwistle JBXNs haven't been fitted yet. The Zodiac got them about 3 years back on the suggestion from a very nasty man by the name of @chrismuzz He was up to his tricks again yesterday so I'll be trying them in an old very Metal Washburn. The Washburn will still get 2 PBXNs fitted at a jaunty angle to match the lava finish and pointy headstock.

First time I get to use the new digital calipers JBXN neck 91.38mm x 18.5mm x 24.76mm deep JBXN bridge 94.59mm x 18.5mm x 24.76mm deep I've 2 Peavey Zodiac DE Scorpios. They come with Duncan Basslines as stock, replace them on 1 with Entwistle PBXN & JBXN. Bloody Hell they're loud. I'd heard folk bumming up Duncans as loud. Bollocks !! Entwistle Neos are easily twice the output. Both Zodiacs were strung with Roto Nexus,I find that a bright zingy string, the Neos were too powerful for the Nexus so that bass got a set of Fender flats.Stil very loud and clear. If you were swapping basses mid set I'd advise an A/B pedal or volume pedal,chances are you'd need it.

SGC/Nanyo did plenty of neck thru P/J's. JHS brand Vintage do a couple. Need to add "Unity Series" in small letters under Peavey Dyna bass if you want a neck thru PJ, plain old Dyna is a bolt on with 2 single coils.

Always fancied the TE-90 DLX, Chambered body and reverse headstock £150 !! Thank God I don't plat guitar,at one point I had 12 HB basses

Have a word with this fella. Repairs/rewinds etc from £40. https://www.herrickpickups.com/products/repairs-rewinds/

Aye,for folk with "big hands".

Doubt I'll regret selling this too much but I'm not one for playing short scales.

Naw it's the later ABT series with Magma finish. As for the "40" ? I spend all day up & down ladders/scaffolds with a 16Kg harness hanging off my shoulders. Wont be a bass that kills me

For some reason I thought the MM would switch to SC,not so the switch on lower horn is a killswitch. Bit silly having that.

I keep forgetting to offer him that very Metal 80's Washburn of mine. He stopped by one day,played a T40 for a bit then asked why folk always greet about the weight ? Got himsel a gold star for that one

What about the Spear Flextool ?

There's a crazy fella pops up on our local FB gear page with his latest creations. Goes by the name Mad Malko,great guy with some whacky ideas. He played bass for Jessie Rae,that bit might go over some folks heads. Jessie Rae is kind out there too Anyways Malko's latest is the Travel Strat .

2 Wishbasses arrived last week. 1 has roundwounds the other La Bella flats. I prefer the flats. Did think about fitting TI's but the La Bellas were first to fall out the cupboard

It's splitting hairs any way you look at it. Some folks believe unless they leave Corona it's not a real Fender. Would you class the licensed Hipshot Ultralites as Hipshots ? They're sold with the word "licensed" on the packet so there's no mistakes can be made or inferred.

Squiers are built by Cort so there's no Fender factory involved .

Some of them will but others ? Well folk go the whole hog

Aye Pete. Can't quite see why private sales on here of Squier/Fender logo is being seen as an issue,if it's marked as Squier/Fender logo of course.

No private sales by individuals. A business doing the same would get jumped on,that's trying to steal sales of new guitars from FMIC. No money in 2nd hand sales for FMIC so they don't concern themselves.

FMIC have their logo on so many products it's obvious the brand name is more important to the owners (Sevrco Pacific) than the guitars. Want a Fender pencil case ? No problem,T-shirt ? Training shoes ? Fridge or fridge magnets ?. Fender decals on non-Fender guitars only reinforces the fact Fender make guitars. Course Fender are $100 million in the red The American site TB carrys plenty of ads for Squiers bearing Fender logos,given that folk sue at the drop of a hat in the US, if there was a legal issue those ads would be banned.
