Now I see this thread about "It was a double post". Can you explain where I may have gone wrong with posting. I do know that when I go to upload a pic, the "upload" tab shows no sign of engaging but eventually ( after several hits on the tab) it does download a pic.

Crikey chaps, all SOLD many thanks. Sorting postage as we speak. I may have to let you know on monday when the post office opens. Having decided many years ago to build my own basses, I went through a series of designs and trials costing a fair bit of money in wasted woods and parts. I''ve found three bass bodies origianlly of FOUR string design and goodness knows how old they are, well seasoned! Not for Fender style necks. They were being designed more for double octave necks and 12th fret / top horn end area for balance. The Walnut body did have a fretted neck on it, now missing, believed damaged badly in action! They all have "brass eyelet" neck bolt recesses. These could be altered to take a 5 string, humbucker pickups, sanded back and sprayed etc. These single pieces of wood now sell uncut for about £40 1st .. UK Rippled Ash single piece body .. with missing front control cavity cover. I think the neck pickup slot is slightly out of alignment, maybe by 1mm. 2nd .. UK Rippled Figured Ash single piece body. .. with tape holding on back cover plate. Looks like a recess routed on top to allow string loading into the bridge, likely to have been a Schaller 3D. 3rd .. Walnut front with maple back bass and a bit of glue line showing. plastic control cover, this bass did sound good with a fretted neck and a pair of SDs How about £10 each, maybe soemone would want all 3 of them for a deal? Postage .. don't know as yet, collection even better from NE Hants or meet up around the area. More info whenever needed.

FORGOT TO ADD THAT THE PRICE INCLUDES UK POSTAGE. 2+2 as in 2 per side of headstock A second hand full set of Black Schaller tuners, M4s with all retainer screws and washer and top nut. From my old fretless of many gigs. They can obviously be used for a project or painted up as an "as new set" as they worked absolutely fine. You can see in the pics that there are paint chips. The nut hole into the headstock circumference/width is almost 12mm, close to 1/2 inch. I think these are going at £55/60 new a set, correct me there if I'm incorrect.[/quote]

[quote name='tombboy' post='978132' date='Oct 5 2010, 11:29 AM']Thanks mate. Injury happened over 15 years ago. CNS rupture to my right ulnar co-lateral ligament or 'Goalkeeper's thumb' as it is known. Basically, if I pick play or anchor my thumb for finger style the whole hand swells up and goes numb. I was told that surgery to correct it wouldn't make any difference, due to the age of the injury... indded, it might be worse afterwards. [/quote] you are getting lots of advicce, hope you don't mind a thought .. Here is a site fro something different, maybe it can help at least with helping play other instruments.

[quote name='mybass' post='971045' date='Sep 28 2010, 07:23 PM']Selling AS A PAIR £40 Fantastic sounding jazz replacement pickups, loud and 99.99% noiseless. I bought these umpteen years ago and they were and still are LOUD. Powered by a single 9v battery. They easily answered back to drummers and large stack guitarists, marvellous! These were the first type of SDs switcheable Jazz pickups with a very high output. They were later replaced with another 3 switch mark 2 version but with less output. (I still have a set on another bass). They were then replaced with the 2 switch model but I don't think these are made anymore. This particular set was on one of my own built fretless basses for years so are marked and the underside wiring will need to be extended in length to reach the control cavity, so a bit of work needed with a solder iron. I would set these at a slightly less height to string than normal. The switches I think are great as you can easily cut that bit of "boom in the room" bottom end or add that little bit of top to the sound etc. I also have the original wiring diagram with all the pickup specifications and blurb.[/quote] Bump
