  1. Four Squier tuners from a Squire CV Jazz Bass, complete with screws & bushings. I am looking for £25 plus post.
  2. I got this last year thinking I would use it for a project but it's being hanging around so it maybe good for someone else's next project. Looking for £30 plus post.
  3. I bought this Fender Hi Mass bridge from @Slug Ice last year for a FenderBird project which I have since aborted. So I am looking for £20 plus post for the bridge.
  4. I have a generic 34 ins scale 51'P neck that was used on a Tele Bass project. Jazz size nut width (38mm), light satin finish and period correct squared neck heel. Headstock finished with ( Poser) F decal sealed with Ronseal satin hard glaze. Looking for £35 plus postage
  5. No plate. Cool, understated, beautiful veneered top. Looking forward to seeing the finished bass.
  6. WoW I bet it's great for Metal
  7. Yes Wing Commander you are absolutely correct Sir. I bought the Tele Bass necks at different times and the second one is a bit "Orff" a Nant's, but as I was adding a larger decal the extra real estate works a treat. I plan to post a diary of my P51 3/4 upgrade in the coming days. Roger 10-4 O A O
  8. +1 for the "jinwan" necks. I've had 2 Tele Bass necks and one Jazz neck and they've been great. All three had the MoP block inlays on maple boards with gloss finish and are great. As @RichardH points out the headstock is not quite 100% but 98% in my veiw and a man on a galloping horse is not going to notice!
  9. Enjoy. A nice bottle of Chianti and strong mature cheddar will soothe the vibes henceforth 😎 Or a gallon rough cyder. ( each to their own)
  10. I run a Rumble 800HD or a Rumble 500 thro 1 or 2 Super Compacts depending on the venue. I find the Fender Rumbles very pleasing to my ears. They offer a great tone when set flat and have a very usable tone stack to create a wide variety of sounds. The latest 800HD amps seems to have flat tone that is a little more mid forward than older 500 design, but can easily tweeked to taste. The older 500 front end seemed warmer somehow. BTW the Rumble 500 paired with my single One10 is a lovely mini rig for some of the pub jam sessions I used to enjoy before the lockdown and can easily compete with the Fender Rumble 500 combo. I have to agree with @alexclaber that the One10 can shift as much air as a normal 2 x 10ins cab.
  11. Snap 😎 Bought the Charlie Parker book for bass, which has some really tasteful riffs.
  12. Don't think so as the ports are front facing. I too occasionally stack my 2 SC on their side and I don't hear any difference. I definitely hear a difference when running my One10 on it's side. It sits on an angled Stagg stand and the bottom end just seems fuller and richer, as if the port needed to be off the floor. Okay someone is going to say that I'm loosing the "coupling effect " that occurs when bass cabs are sat on the floor but the One10 appears to sound better to my ears.(which are 68 yrs old and were abused in the 70s while playing in front of loud two 2x4x12 stacks😆)
  13. Dunc, place the One10s on their side. Lowers the height but allows the base facing ports to extend the bass response out of the side of the stack. Believe me it really makes a difference. Enjoy your lovely, lovely rig.
  14. Yup, these add to an already extensive Sire Marcus Miller. The range seems to offer something for every bass player at price points to meet all pockets. I absolutely love the roasted hard rock maple necks & fretboards. The V5 passive appears to be a workhorse bass really appeals to me 😎
  15. Now that is a beautiful piece of wood.😎 I'm really looking forward to seeing it after the Tru-oil is finished. Looks like another great project!
  16. That's very nice indeed Dan, well done an excellent build. GLWTS
  17. BTW while reviewing the spreadsheet again it's interesting to note that Leo Fender moved the distance between the 12th fret and the front coil pole pieces from 332mm to 344mm when he moved from MusicMan to G & L , Stingray 332mm and G & L L1500 344mm. Just saying!
  18. Here is a Excel I picked up somewhere which lists Pickup positions. I would guess that, since the distance from the 12th fret to the pole pieces of the front coil on a 34 ins Stingray is 332mm, the distance from the 12th fret for a 32ins scale would be 307mm (332 - 25mm). On a 32ins scale the 12th fret is 16ins between the fret and the bridge, so the difference of 1ins ( 25.4mm) should be used to reduce the front poles piece dimension , 332 -25 = 307. It would be helpful to support this theory if @scrumpymike could measure the distance from 12th fret to front pole piece on his 30.5 ins scale Stingray. If the theory works the dimension should be 332-50= 282mm P.S. I measured my MM USA Sterling and it was 335mm Pickup position.xlsx
  19. Yer let the 1800 grit soak in the Blossom Hill for at least 15 minutes to achieve that soft & fruity ruby glow. The finish looks sooooo much better after a bottle or two😂
  20. If you can pick up another combo for the price of a 2x10 I would go for the second combo. Similar form factor and 100% redundancy if one amp fails. Simples 😎
  21. Stew, is the neck pocket the same as a Fender?
  22. Go for it, the Super Twin seems to be just right for your needs. Me, I prefer my 2 x SC with a Mesa Subway D800 or Fender Rumble HD800. I don't need all that high end stuff the SC range suits me fine with the flexibility of 1 or 2 cabs as required. PS wife issue. I 've always hidden a new bass under the bed in our spare bedroom for a couple of weeks and slowly added it the rack in the music room without too much fuss. Not sure if you can manage to get the Super Twin under your bed. Cheaper than a divorce 😂
  23. Nah, not for me, headstock too long, odd body shape and difficult to get a decent case to fit. Not for me
