[quote name='Gottastopbuyinggear' timestamp='1448485634' post='2915891'] I'm already worrying what the first bitsa is going to look like! [/quote] sure - but would you buy second hand like we do with basses ? Not even Dettox spray is going to make that ok....

thanks so much for taking the time

[quote name='jonnythenotes' timestamp='1448442354' post='2915373'] Well, I don't know what Santa has got in his bulging festive sac for me this Yuletide season, but Its probably 2 or 3 set of strings for being a good little chap this year. Also, if I leave him my wife under the mistletoe for a while, he might chuck in a years subscription of Bassist magazine... [/quote] She's really [b]that [/b]good huh ? A whole 40 quids worth - I hope she doesnt read Basschat for your sake

[quote name='mentalextra' timestamp='1448376835' post='2914875'] I think there are some guys on youtube that order and review instruments regularly. I 'm just off out but I will see if I can put up a link later [/quote] That would be good - thanks

Ok fair point They don't really emphasise the different vendors but I do agree

I recall someone ordered a bass that looked vaguely like a fodera Has anyone ordered the more mainstream fender clones? Some of the photos look a bit too much like the real thing to "be real" so what do you actually get ? How close is it ? They have a nice looking sunburst and blocks jazz that's got my attention but I don't want something that looks like it came out a Christmas cracker - I understand it won't be up to the standards of the Custom Shop either Your stories ? Thanks

Or write it out as five string tab having revoiced the part

[quote name='dave_bass5' timestamp='1447589191' post='2908662'] Over a months wait for a shaver adaptor, my god why not just send it back and shop elsewhere if you aren't going to spend less than £2 to get you up and running? [/quote] You can get two for a pound at the pound shop

[quote name='RhysP' timestamp='1447436088' post='2907712'] If I'm reading the original post correctly the kettle lead was the replacement they sent, the original 12v power supply is a European one which, as a couple of people have said, you can buy an adaptor for for a few quid. [/quote] That's also the way I read the thread up till now

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1447608731' post='2908877'] What?? No! 70s Fenders are all about black pickguards. [/quote] Didn't rosewood sunburst models have blood red tort?
