nice colour

I've a couple of Nordy style ones I made myself using neoprene foam and wood, the thin one is for the mustang as a thick one just killed the tone too much, and I will make another half way between the two for Jazz/P thick is roughly 12mm wide, thin is roughly 5mm, foam is 12mm deep slit to about 8/9mm

Might it be by Chris Eccleshall ? Very renowned British luthier of the era ?

cheers Dave, shame it's not on terrestrial

what channel is it on ?

mexican made jazz body with bottom of neck truss rod adjustment so ? Highway1

If it was me I'd contact Adrian and see what his take is, expecting nothing, and then contact Andy about a repair They, I believe, build each instrument individually so neck pockets and screw positions are not standardised, so a new neck won't be straightforward as whoever does it will have to have the body too, repairing the original neck may be the easiest option

Probably worth contacting Status, they seem to have some records of the necks made and changing bdies/correcting mistakes will something they have experience of

the fact that only guitarguitar is updated shows who's across other youtube channels and that FMC/Gretsch haven't possibly sent out a mail to their dealers clarifying matters, or their web teams are so busy they haven't actioned it

late to the party, just come across this via Premier Guitar; good to see something different, it would be great to have one at a bass bash to hear and play

Why was it locked; because it was a nasty bun fight or because FMC applied pressure behind the scenes ?

All of them are fine with the 99.999% of parcels that just get collected, trunked and delivered, and all of them are bad at handling the 0.001% where it doesn't go according to plan, but UPS are now the biggest bunch of lying, useless, impossible to contact and culturally f'd up of the lot in my experience, whereas 3 years ag they were the most easily contacted and helpful who worked to resolve issues and took ownership, but not anymore, humans replaced by AI and mechanical handling. DHL seem to be the best on imports sorting the duty etc..fairly efficiently, but they, like most of them, want you to do their reconciliation work for them. DPD are great shipping into Ireland and the paperwork works on parcel2go, but into other countries it doesn't so I end up using UPS into France and Holland and crossing everything in case it goes tits up. Fedex are slow on import paperwork, UPS are awful a lot of the time, stuff sitting around LondonHub or EastMidlands for days and days, just being bounced onto the next shift constantly, and even when you've paid the duty it takes a few shifts for it to get trunked to depot for final delivery, gone are the days when they cleared and processed the inbound each day everyday. All our local drivers are great, most have worked the area for years fortunately and despite lack of support from the staff at the depots and ridiculous workloads and mileage they do a fantastic job in a huge rural area many miles from the depots The investment made in IT by Hermes has had a positive outcome, I'm guessing Amazon provided a lot of that behind the scenes. YMMV

The canadian who makes the violin stick on fretted board makes a viola one too, probably not the same scale length as the shorties though

I saw a video on youtube of a stick on fretted board for violin, so a bass version may possibly exist the violin version didn't really seem to help get good intonation interestingly

The white 4 string JP looks awesome, 1/4 sawn roasted maple neck on that example pictured, £181 wow

try dropping the pickups ? I have my pickups set lower than the base Fender factory settings, with flats on and it's a better sound for me and my (admittedly rubbish) technique try a change of strings ? try less gain more volume or more gain less volume on the amp ? plenty to try before spending money changing things

Bought a loaded P bass body from Matt, super well packed and next day delivered, many thanks

Ben sold me his nice price swiff audio mini tuner pedal, cheap post, super well packed, in original box, all very good, cheers

I bought a couple of basses from them in the past, 6 years ago, just like Thomann at the time, no issues at all. Don't forget that some of the problems reported recently are possibly linked to both the UK brexit effect in trade with europe and also the pandemic which has effected many companies, and the courier companies for example have taken the opportunity to change how they do customer service and accelerated the introduction of more mechanical handling and AI and other electronic transactions and done away with the humans who could deal with the 0.01% of things not going exactly to plan. Retailers have done the same too. Ring them up if you can and try and get a point of contact for your purchase, for a big ticket item you should be able to get decent service and backing from Sandberg in the US, maybe worth talking to the US distributor too if you can.

Is anyone going to have the balls to go up against Facebook and the legal muscle they can muster, look how little effect being called to account by US government had; they just carry on doing what they do safe in the knowledge that noone has the will to stop them or hold them to account, unless a government really wants to enact new laws specifically for these sorts of organisations

Repeat customer at the Lozz shop, thank you for the tidy PedaltrainNano with bag, nice price and quick delivery, all good as always.
