    Thank you for your interest. It’s a 34” standard scale.

    I’d pay less for the Bronco in the photo there - bet it’s got scratches on the back from the exposed metal frame of the stand it’s resting on 😱

    No need - buy this one and pop a weighted wristband on your wrist. 👍

    I’m cutting back the numbers as I’m not playing as much these days. Beautiful flamed maple body, 5 piece through-neck construction - the photos just don’t do it justice - very holographic wood grain! The carving on this thing is a work of art. Seamless neck-to-body transition. Fast 24 fret neck, nice low action and currently wearing D’Addario flats. Lovely tone and lots of variation available with the bass, treble and balance controls. The tone I get whopping up the gain through an Ampeg head is glorious. There are some dings (pictured) as expected on a 20yr old instrument, but nothing that affects its performance. Personally I like a ding or two - makes me worry less if I should accidentally add another. 4.05kg /8.9lbs 40mm nut width. Kinsman hard shell case included - keeps the wee beastie safe whilst in transit. I’ll be sad to see this one go, but instruments should be played. Collection is best, but I can post using Overland Express, fully insured within the UK. Usually about £30. You may have spotted this on eBay - I’d put a cheeky price on it to cover inflation and the ever-increasing fees, but to the Basschat massive it’s just the sum of the bass + case that I paid.

    I had the same with the varying stages of my (much more, erm, “agricultural” attempt at) refinish. Bodes well that it looks good on all the layers!

    That looks lovely as is in satin! Great colour.

    Cheapest I ever did was plug straight in to the 1/4” mic input on a cassette deck I was given. Just had to pay for cassettes! Used to record all my riffs when I started playing. Tomorrow’s mission - find those tapes!

    So the original blew, now the replacement is on its way out. Maybe a problem somewhere else, too? Could a duff component on the crossover be the original problem?

    Did your old Vista fit in one of those Thomann bags, @Paul S?

    Maybe try a keyboard stand instead. I had a heavy duty one for my Hohner Pianet. Pretty sure @scrumpymike had a keyboard stand with an amp on it at the SW bass bash, too. edit: Mine looked like this. 50kg rating, too: https://www.gak.co.uk/en/tiger-kys21-adjustable-platform-mixer-keyboard-stand-black/950321?gclsrc=aw.ds&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwmMayBhDuARIsAM9HM8cZGS1goVGHU7540-G0Z72P_Va8B_S7bVf5aYdcHOQumoMiHUEK6kMaAnKiEALw_wcB

    That Bigsby design looks like it originated in the whaling/seal clubbing sector.

    100% the Mustang-a-like!
  13. Pea Turgh
    I saw that. Great news!

    I’m usually be up for oly white, but that veneer should be visible! What about a walnut shade of stain? Looks awesome, BTW.
  15. Pea Turgh
    What are the dimensions of the unit, please?
  16. Pea Turgh
    Got two sets of D’Addario flats, cut for a P-bass, with the G string missing. Any use to you?
  17. Pea Turgh
    Imagine if I knew about these first time around when they were only £99!! 😂😭

    Been interested in these for a while due to the nut width. This one popped up in conversation here and, well, one thing led to another and now it’s in my house! It came with a black scratchplate, which I thought looked ace, but the original white plate has aged to a lovely coffee-stain/cream colour, and looks absolutely effin fantastic! One surprise was the string width at the bridge - I’d just assumed it would be standard P spacing but it’s a little tighter. Nothing I won’t get used to. Changed the knobs just because.

    My first amp!

    I have no hints & tips re edge sanding, other than just go at it. Takes an age! The middle example above seems to match what remains of your first finish in the neck pocket. Brown seems to cover everything well - it’s what I used on my refinish (used Crimson Guitars stuff); My only regret with this one was being an impatient prat and not leaving enough time between stain coats, leaving it a touch patchy in places.

    That’s a neat solution. I have recently acquired a Vista Musicmaster, and the pickup is of similar construction to the 50’s P.

    Love that purple G&L!

    Bought a lovely little Musicmaster from @Paul S last week. Promised Mrs Turgh I’d let one of the others go. The JV will be with me til the end. The Musicmaster is delightful. Can’t decide between the Toby (sounds fantastic plugged in) or the Matsumoku “Thing” (spent a lot of time sanding, has a lovely neck).

    Cab resonance feature? Eh? Does it have a built in mic to calibrate that? I don’t get it.

    Bloody thieves. The van was probably in a container being loaded up on to a ship in Tilbury before anyone noticed it was gone.
