    Only got photos of my lot all together at the moment - the two Jazz basses are stock apart from KiOgon looms and a scratchplate change on LPB. Got a Gotoh 201 I bought here to go on the LPB. The two Precisions are both kinda bitsas, I think - well, more of a body swap. The Black 'n' Maple started life with the fretless neck that is now on the CAR. The CAR had the maple neck which is now on the Black 'n' Maple. The CAR, apart from the neck swap is a stock MIM - but I've got a hi-mass bridge, scratchplate and KiOgon loom with series/parallel push pot waiting to go on it. The tuners aren't original but I have no idea where they're from. So does it count as a bitsa...? The Black 'n' Maple - neck and body are both Fender MIM but, as mentioned, "mix and match". Scratchplate is frome elsewhere, the pickup is a Quarter Pounder from that I think I bought here. The bridge is hi-mass via eBay (all the black headed screws are also from eBay). I'm new to Fenders ut totally geeking out on all the possible upgrades and the fact you can swap stuff around to build your own bass Too much fun - ought to actually play them sometime too...

    I have the matching Jazz in LPB and did the same swap for a nice pearloid scratchplate. So, so tempting to complete the set... must resist... and GLWTS.

    Zoom B1on still available weekend bump. Superb tuner with excellent additional effects

    Yeah, but "IT IS - CM WIDE" and I need one that is -- CM wide...

    So, how much would it really be worth if one were to, hypothetically, make an offer (which would probably be rejected...)?

    If I had the money I'd be all over this - it would also be a YOB+1

    As long as the rest of you don't go out and buy Squier Jazz CVs in Inca Silver I could be sitting on a gold (silver?) mine sometime in the future... I'm hoping they'll be the next JV series going for silly money.

    Thanks for the advice on sanding! I'll definitely be on the lookout for that.. My main problem with sprayed lacquer is that I have literally nowhere at home that I could do spraying that wouldn't get me in trouble Could have done it in the old house, but not since we moved. Does anyboy have experience of Tru-Oil applied on a maple neck? From the extra reading I've done since posting the question, it seems like a reasonable finish if applied using the finger tips and worked into the wood. I'm quite happy to spend a reasonable amount of time on this - the journey is as of much interest as the destination

    Thinking of buying an Allparts Jazz neck to go on my P-bass. The one I've found is un-finished and says "ready to spray". It's a maple neck with maple fretboard. What's the minimum I need to do to make the neck usable (both front and back...). I'm not at all keen on spraying but any other application method is a possibility (if I knew what they were... wax, oil?) Can you tell I don't have a clue?

    Just sold Nik a Hercules stand - easy transaction, great communication. Thank you!

    I'm a fairly recent convert to Fender P-basses (after more than 25 years playing got my first real Fender P-bass a month or two ago). I'm loving the fact that you can swap parts around so easily and there's a huge after-market for P-bass bits. My black P-bass has already had one make-over and I'm lining up another one - it's cheaper than buying a new bass! One thing I want to do is muck around with different pickups - just for the fun of it, but keeping taking off and putting on the scratchplate is a bit of a chore. So, I'm thinking of using bullet connectors permanently connected to the loom (one of KiOgon's finest...) and then adding connectors to each new set of pickups as they arrive. That way, with a decent length of wire attached to the loom I can just pull the pickups out without having to strip the bass down each time. The question really is, is this a dumb idea? Am I setting myself up for problems that I've not thought of? Only one I can think of is that something might come loose whilst playing... Or, are there other suggestions for easy "plug 'n' play" for P-bass pickups? Bonus question - what gauge wire should I be using from the loom to the connector (if I go that route)?

    Thanks for the comments - sounds like it might be worth having a punt on a set sometime soon as I'm looking for something a bit different to the QPs anyway. Off to "Items Wanted" section I go...

    There's enough GAS in the room that one only need light the blue touch paper and wait for the explosion... Maybe should have a Bass Chat meetup at the auction?

    [quote name='philw' timestamp='1488914156' post='3252920'] OK so why did you send me off looking at a guitar auction site I wasn't previously aware of. Damnit! [/quote] Sorry Or am I...

    Anyone looking to pick up one of Cliff Williams' old P-basses - here's your chance: http://guitar-auctions.co.uk/portfolio-post/lot-35-1958-fender-precision-bass-guitar-made-in-usa/ The main catalogue for the auction is here: http://guitar-auctions.co.uk/catalogue-preview-thursday-16th-march-2017/ and there's some tasty stuff. I've been to an auction at this place and it was good fun (well, actually a bit boring...), but before bidding make sure you've got your max limit nailed down, and remember that you'll pay an extra 25% in fees on top of the hammer price...

    Anyone tried the DiMarzio DP122BK P-bass pickups and like to comment? Thinking about a set for my MIM P-bass... It's currently sporting a set of SD Quarter Pounders that I very much like the sound of, but always on the lookout for something interesting (cheaper than buying a new bass... )

    [b]Squier CV Jazz - £280[/b] Been thinking about selling this bass but not 100% sure I want to... picked it up on a whim and it's very very nice, then a Fender MIM Jazz in LBP and maple came up and that was the one I really wanted. Quality: there's actually not much in it between the Squier and the Fender - the Squier is a superb guitar. Currently the tug bar in the pictures in not attached, but will dig it out and re-fit it if the purchaser so desires... Condition: bought a couple of months ago and it hasn't even left the house. Comes with a Fender padded gigbag that's in good condition. Edit: forgot to say that this also has one of KiOgon's finest looms installed, VVT with pull-pot for series/parallel. Would prefer cash on collection from Frome in Somerset, but will consider shipping for £25 if payment is made through bank transfer. [attachment=239732:squier_cv_jazz-8.jpg]

    [b]Hercules GS415B stand - £20[/b] Purchased recently but surplus to requirements as I'm keeping stuff in cases after complaints of there being too many guitars hanging around the house... Good condition, a couple of marks on the foam on one leg and headstock "indentations" on the head piece (from a Jazz bass). Otherwise in great condition. Payment by bank transfer or PayPal. Happy to ship at cost (probably about £5) or collection from Frome in Somerset.

    For sale - Zoom multi-effects unit. Just don't really have a need for it as I'm going down the individual pedals route (to my doom...) [b]Zoom B1on - £35[/b] The B3's little brother. Again, if you're looking for one you know already what it does. Comes without power supply, runs happily on 4 x AA batteries if you don't have a suitable 9v supply. No software included. Payment by bank transfer or PayPal. Happy to ship at cost (£5) or collection from Frome in Somerset. [attachment=239676:20170305-AJF_2076.jpg] [attachment=239677:20170305-AJF_2077.jpg] [attachment=239678:20170305-AJF_2079.jpg] [b]Zoom B3 - £100 - SOLD[/b] [s]I bought the B3 on here recently... Lots of effects... if you want one you probably know already what it does. Condition is reasonably good, previous owner(s) have obviously gigged it (it's been out of the house once since I got it... never even stepped on it). So, plenty of small scratches but everything works as it should. Ships in original (battered...) box with Zoom PSU. No software included. Only looking to makeback on it what I paid. Payment by bank transfer or PayPal (invoice, you cover the fees (an extra £3). Happy to ship at cost (probably about £5) or collection from Frome in Somerset.[/s]

    Some photos of the side of the neck. The fret lines go in about the same depth as an ordinary fret would. WIth the markers being dots between the lines as on a regular neck. Edit: I've added higher-res versions to the oneDrive folder linked above. [attachment=239631:sandberg-9.jpg] [attachment=239632:sandberg-11.jpg] [attachment=239633:sandberg-13.jpg]

    [quote name='wombatboter' timestamp='1488636329' post='3250657'] Any pictures of the side of the neck where the fretlines are ? [/quote] I'll go and take some... will post them in a bit...
