  1. That's awesome, they list pretty much everything to rebuild them!
  2. I am eyeing up a a headless Hohner that needs some work (5 string), either some bridge components or a whole bridge depending on what's available. I also have a 4-string needing pickup surrounds (the humbucker type). Does anyone know if these parts are available?
  3. Did I see that you were selling that @BassBod?
  4. In my best Dragon's Den voice - 'I'm out' I have enough projects, and enough cheap guitars! (and what I really want is a nice-ish 8er) Looking at the depth of the nut slots I reckon you are right about the neck being a bit of a banana...
  5. Ooh get you with your posh gold Gotoh! One of my 5ers has 4 no-names and a slightly larger (but the same finish) Grover, it's obviously a sign of good taste. I've a few of those cheap black ones around - you're welcome to one if it helps?
  6. I had an exchange of messages with him too, he seemed to think that the E and A set of strings were arranged in the correct order but to me it seems like it should be the D and G sets that are right. I wonder if one side could be swapped around - a new nut is needed anyway. What is the bridge spacing like btw? It appears to have separate saddles for the single low and high pair, which is nice! Were you thinking of going for it? I don't inhabit aliexpress - I'm bad enough with eBay and Gumtree!
  7. Yeah I bet it did This is really looking good now, wonky tuner notwithstanding...
  8. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F202343051608 I might be thinking of having a cheeky bid, if it weren't the tuners being wrongly arranged.
  9. I got given a t-shirt for my birthday with 'Relax, the bass player's here' on it.
  10. So am I. Shame I'm 46 though...
  11. There's an unmodified one on eBay atm - no bids and under £40
  12. Shortest Blues song ever - 'I didn't wake up this morning!'
  13. Agreed, the very point of a fretless is that it sounds different to one with frets. It's the slips and slides that give it the magic.
  14. Isn't this what you need? https://g-gotoh.com/international/product/gb640.html
  15. I visited an old friend yesterday - he has a Thunder 1A which weighed quite a bit. It did nothing to change my opinion - solid construction and a reasonable sound but certainly nothing special. His was picked up out of a skip though so he is quite happy with it!
  16. I didn't know I was going to play it?
  17. Something with a lined fingerboard, it's easier to see where to put your fingers.
