I disagree with myself. :blink:I think.

What's your address,and when will you be out.

WD40 is a penetrating fluid/lubricant,spray it on the offending grub screw from both sides,leave it for a few mins,and it should work it's way into the threads,loosening any dirt/rust build up. You could try gently heating the saddle and then try to loosen the grub screw.

Where are the fu*kin' basses ????

Fender "close enough" does'nt have the same ring to it.

Thanks for the PM,looking good.

You could use the Autosol straight away.I thought that by using the fine wet and dry first,it would soften the dings and scratches,so that it did'nt have that fresh reliced yesterday feel.

Lightly use the fine wet and dry,then polish out the scratches that leaves with something like Solvol Autosol,..........hey presto.............one slightly matte/slightly shiny finish.

If it was free,it would still be too expensive.

Cash converters proberbly.

Try the finest grade wet and dry paper you can find to take the shine off.

Best of luck with the re-fin.Theres a lot more dents and scratches now than there was before the "relicing" i'll guess.

I have done this,the acoustic bass guitar was not quite loud enough on it's own.I used a small cheap battery powered amp,can't remember the brand,but the batterys did'nt seem to last very long.

Encore do a 3/4 size P bass as well.

Jim Deacon 3/4 size precision.

If your wife is a "non Musician" could you not buy her a drum kit ?

What would that £8.15s.0d.equate to now ?

Thats what i guessed.

Why 2 fretted necks ?

I think that a lot of people are put off by the realatively low cost of the JHS Vintage gear,and just dismiss them as tat.They may not have the kudos of the big manufacturers,but every one i've seen has been good.The hardware is not fancy but good quality,and the build quality is consistent.They are as good as many basses costing far more.

I would'nt have owned that at the time,but i would now.

1 - Buy a decent amp secondhand,Behringer amp simulator,service the bass,save up for a better bass. 2 - Buy a decent bass secondhand,amp simulator,save up for decent amp. I have gigged with a secondhand Jim deacon bass £80 IIR,and still use it quite often.I also bought a used Carlsboro Delta bass head £120 IIR,new Behringer 600w 2x12 cab £150,Behringer V-Amp effects unit new £75.All are giggable,so it can be done at guitar store prices.All of these were bought at the same shop,so there was no searching involved.They were'nt all bought at the same time,though they could have been.
