    Sorry I wasn't clear Mine is newish and yet looks more tired than yours, and I wish I'd asked the bass doc to relic mine. Yours is exactly what I had in mind looks wise when I was telling BD what I wanted.

    [quote name='col.decker' timestamp='1387464967' post='2312296'] lol no this time I thinks I'll put my feet up and settle in. I spend a good 50% of the working day over on the 'FretBoard' guitarist forum, but this place seems to be far less up it's own arse than over there. [/quote] Probably due to the reduced guitard co-efficient

    It's like the real version of what I asked the bass doc to build, Grangur has seen the bass doc version at my house; this is what I had in mind when specifying it. But more reliced of course

    Should have kept Kim Shattuck - and i'm sure she's a good bassist too of course.

    Well that's made a right mess of my keyboard, and I'm not talking coffee Free bump

    Sadly they don't collect from my postcode and the Nottingham folks they referred me to were less helpful

    Top tip, thanks

    Slightly off topic, but did anyone else notice that there was a floor mounted autocue with the lyrics during Elton and Gary's duet ? Partner didn't believe me until I paused the tv

    Just found them - wasn't quoting them yesterday. Thanks for the confirmation

    Yep last two things I sent via parcelforce looked like they had been machine gunned
  12. Geek99
    Most couriers aren't quoting when destination is NI
  13. Geek99
    Parcelforce don't insure (well, pay out anyway) if its not in a hard case.
  14. Geek99
    Anyone got one to recommend ? Pickup from East Midlands, going to Belfast. Not parcelforce please as they seem to make a hobby of putting holes in things for me
  15. Geek99
    Fixed - thanks for the headsup

    AS-NEW US made American special in absolutely perfect condiion (2012). This is the model with the graphite rods in the neck. It has no cosmetic flaws at all. Comes with perfect deluxe gig bag and all the case candy (unused, unopened). I'm not really liking the colour but lots of people like red. Can be collected from near Mansfield. Will reluctantly ship at actual cost (UPS next day) Here is a slideshow link [url="http://s1149.photobucket.com/user/geek99/slideshow/American%20special"]http://s1149.photobu...rican%20special[/url] Direct link for those without flash [url="http://i1149.photobucket.com/albums/o600/geek99/American%20special/8B1378C2-3636-4635-8CE8-73D9C91E3F96_zpsvb4libh5.jpg"]http://i1149.photobu...zpsvb4libh5.jpg[/url]

    Neither - use a dowel is my advice
  19. Geek99
    If you get the right drill you might not even need glue. No harm In it though. I can confirm dowels are a cheap easy and effective solution . Just be sure to cut them off level (chisel) and sand it smooth if it isn't already smooth to the touch Put a piece of masking tape round the drill at the correct depth to avoid going too far through the neck.

    [quote name='Dom in Somerset' timestamp='1386839988' post='2305101'] Mine is too, as far as I'm aware it's exactly as it was new (US 2006) [/quote] It used to hum loudly but took about an hour to solve
  21. Geek99
    No reason for a jazz bass to hum either. Mine is absolutely silent due to copper shielding and slight changes to wiring.

    It needs tort ....
  23. Geek99
    pretty! (although insufficicent Tort present)

  25. Geek99
