I see. Flipping nuisance either way.

Can't you fill and recut? 0.5mm is less than the width of the fret either side of the tang. A bit of flame maple binding might look nice too...

^ that's actually really good advice, save yourself a horrid job!

Thanks, the first link looks good, I find the smaller ones a little too fiddly.

Why not put a link up and let anyone who fancies have a crack at it? Like a Great British Master Off?

It's a pain in the @rse! I did it with an 80s Vox Standard. I tried Nitromors, heat gun and scraper and sanding. It seemed to take ages. I suppose the yellow seemed a good idea at the time...

Good photo. You look Numanoid!

So, how does it sound?

We play multi band bills all the time. I will normally watch some of the other bands but If they are terrible or just not my thing at all, I will excuse myself until the next one comes on.

I had my fretless neck made with black lines, against pao ferro looks Plain from a distance, yet is nice for reference, especially when recording. I have Luminlay side markers on that too.

Good stuff! Whatever next? A Snake Corps retrospective? I'd be tempted by that!

I read that as getting a review, not a SL&Gs box set. Could be wrong though...

So THAT'S why it's so tidy!

My mate's similar vintage Verithin had both pickups go open, must be a thing with this design. Got them rewound for him, good as gold now

I got sacked from a jazz band because I simply wasn't good enough, and the drummer knew a bassist who was. I kind of knew the others were accelerating away from me, ability-wise, but it's still hard to hear from friends.

Lovely picture.

I wonder what the white one would look like with cream pickup covers? Anyone out there with the requisite Photoshop skills?

Agreed about Wilko. On the other hand, Chick Corea with Eddie Gomez was bloody marvellous. I was quite transported.

Last chance for voting!

I just had a look at a standard jazz wiring diagram. If any o the pots is short between the two outside lugs it will kill all sound, so that doesn't narrow it down. Isn't there anyone on the list of basschatters willing to help near you who would look at it for you?

You're not wrong Norris, it did take a fair bit!. It's actually a really nice sounding box, I did read somewhere they are out of the Ibanez factory, but we all know the spurious claims made of all sorts of Japan cr@p. A reasonable condition one should be worth a couple of hundred for how it plays/sounds, but you could probably score one for less than a ton.

That sounds like a good plan. Being on the front of yours the cosmetic appearance is much more important. I ended up pulling the piece as close to flush as I could using 2 small spring hooks and lavishing pva round the edges. It looks rough as hell! I wasn't going to spend a ton of time and effort on it as it's a freebie for an acquaintance, but after a good set-up, the guitar itself plays and sounds really good. Not bad for a £1 charity shop score! edit: here's the result. The flash has really picked out the PVA, it's nowhere as light as that under normal lighting. Good job it's on the back though!

If.... I were to get one, I might be tempted to swap the switch for a blend control, but still not tried one yet.

Like others on here, I'm finding gas hard to resist on these. A couple of years back, I got the graphics lady at work to mock me up a Bronco with another pickup at the bridge and was just my thing. Then this comes along... And the bridge I've got for sale atm might just be perfect for it too, oh dear!!
