They might be able to signpost you to replacements. @Reggaebass seems to remember the same event as me

Glue and pressure ? @Andyjr1515

I’ve never understood why someone selling or owning a 700£ bass from new wouldn’t think of putting a smear of Vaseline on those threads; I recall ages ago someone from limelight saying here at BC that screws seizing was an effect of the relic process. Why not unscrew the intonation screws or grub screws a bit when it’s freshly done and put some Vaseline on ? That’s a whole five minutes spent

That plate is def after market based on the pattern and it’s fit to the bass (very poor fit around lower horn) and I think the burst looks a bit odd the action looks very high - my guess would be that it’s a decent bitsa - not even a whole Mex

Seriously - back door Santa ?

Guy on far right is very much too blond

That they need big socks ?

Well, he could be forgiven for thinki… DOH!

Thanks - very much an old style of playing glad I put some of that on my relic p

It’s got that weird middle top rubout on the sunburst where your hands etc never touch - how does that wear occur?

Tsk tsk - now that’s offensive blah blah …

My 0.02 is that women are generally less strong but I’d never call them weaker tal wilkemfield is only normal sized but manages a whole gig on a full sized bass and good luck to her. AC is possibly not intending his comment to be taken generally but perhaps specifically with regard to his context of an all-male band?

Post pictures - that kind of renovation happens all the time here

Excuse my ignorance but why ?

-1? That’s one quieter…

I stand corrected - I meant 0.5mm ish at #8, resulting in 2-3mm at fret 12 when string released

Usual drill - capo on fret 1, hold down at last fret, release quarter turns till you get about 2.0mm -> 3.0mm at fret 8

Lower tension causing truss rod to pull too hard - release it a bit

It’s how we pay for the use of the forum, why not use the wisdom of this forum to get the best idea of price and then list on gumtree ?

It’s an insane amount of money

I have a p bass made by him, it’s very nice indeed

Some smart person could make little caps for them, like tyre valve caps

Well done @AndyTravisfor trying to assist

I bought some of these once and the underlying strings are actually pretty good, though they aren’t elixirs
