    Allow me to resurrect this topic with a final update, here's the bass with all the mods completed: The DiMarzio passive pickups went in fine with the bass's active preamp and sound excellent, many thanks for the advice!! I also had some Gotoh tuners fitted to replace the stock ones after the Schallers I bought were too wide in the backplate to fit the headstock. Lastly, strap locks fitted and I did a u-turn and decided to change the stock bridge to a beefy Kluson high mass bridge after all . Plays and sounds way, way better. No longer such an inexpensive bass now... 馃槵

    Hi @barrycreed thanks for the interest but this is likely to be sold very soon, another Basschatter got in a bit earlier so just waiting for payment. I'll get back to you if the deal doesn't get sealed.

    Nice set of PJ pickups recently removed from a 1997 Ibanez TR200 bass. There is a bit of scratching to the plastic of the side casings (especially on the jazz pickup) but overall in pretty good condition and perfect working order. Need a set of inexpensive PJs for a bass build? These could be the ones... Here's my feedback thread: Price includes postage in the UK only, payment by PayPal gift or bank transfer please.

    Set of new 4 in-line Fender style tuners in a nickel finish, for a right handed bass: I bought these lovely machine heads new two weeks ago but much to my dismay they are very slightly too wide in the back plate to fit onto the slimmer headstock of my Ibanez bass; they slightly overlap. Unfortunately due to my questionable measurement calculations they are now up for sale whilst I make other arrangements to replace the tuners on my Ibanez TR200 that offend me so deeply on a visual level. Absolutely gutted. Details, specs and dimensions can be found on the Schaller website: https://schaller.info/en/machine-heads/288/original-f-series-bmf They come boxed and with original packaging, unused as they were never fitted to my bass, and with the bushings and mounting screws.

    Hi all, For sale is this Gotoh 201B-4, the bridge is zinc, in a chrome finish, has brass saddles and the regular 19mm string spacing. The box has been opened but this is new and unused just bought 2 weeks ago. Great replacement bridge but I no longer need it.

    I sold an Omega bridge to Joe. Great guy, excellent to deal with, and a very smooth transaction. Thanks dude!

    Update: here's the bass in question; it turned up in very good condition and plays very nicely. It's currently having the work done for the mods so this is a 'before' pic. I'll post a better picture (backlit..never good) when the new DiMarzio pickups, Schaller machine heads and strap locks have been fitted. I decided against replacing the stock bridge as it's a pretty decent high mass bridge, I'm really looking forward to ditching those tuners though, they're totally wrong for that headstock and in general an absolute travesty!

    @mcnach thanks for the tip, good idea. I'm just waiting and hoping that the lads at Parcelforce haven't snapped this in half, and that it reaches me as nature intended. Fingers crossed. 馃憤

    Cheers dude, just a shame we didn't have more time to chat. It's a hell of a bass! 馃憤馃憤

    @AndyTravis it's a Stanford acoustic I bought used from a guy in Portugal - in fact a (snappily named) Stanford Robot. A damn good acoustic bass, the best I've ever played and sounds about as good as an acoustic bass can sound in my view. That trusty snarling beast of a Geddy Lee Jazz was purchased from @LewisK1975

    Once again I am super grateful for the knowledge imparted here. As a result of people's input on this I am feeling pretty hopeful about the DiMarzio PJs going into the bass without any problems. I haven't yet received the bass in question, it's still slowly making its way to me. At the moment I have absolutely no idea when I'll be able to get the pickups fitted to this Ibanez TR200, as there are no guitar shops open to do the work. I'll send an update with photos to let you know the outcome of this...eventually 馃榿
