If you're interested I can probably post it if I take the neck off. What do you think? 

Have you any plans for a visit to England next year?

I am currently after a M-2000 and your Bass looks stunning. If I lived closer to you I would snap that up straight away!

It’s here. I confirm…it has a weight.

 

needs my preferred strings etc and a tweak to my taste.

 

it is lovely 

That is a beautiful specimen Andy.....Enjoy 🙂

I went boring some 7 years ago and opted for un interesting standard Sunburst for my Classic. But I love it!

I use an MXR Iso Brick and it has never let me down.. Has a proper mains lead,10 outputs varying from 6v to 18v, 100ma-450ma. I can't remember how much it cost me though I think it was over £100. I would defo stay way from the Chinese efforts.

Entwistle inspired....Beautiful!

Lovely Bass......And the usual top Class G&L Bridge.

Why not try an Ampeg PF-20T, not an exact reproduction of a B-15 or an Heritage but very close.

Yes, and They work well as nut files. You get a nice straight slot which you don’t get using a length of floppy string 

Not floppy at all if you hold the string with both hands, but I guess some people just don't have the technique which is a shame.I still cannot get my head around your idea of sticking strings to a lollipop stick.....LOL. That is a sure fire way of losing some control when filing nuts.

Why not stick sections of string to a lolly stick or Some such like a dowel and make your own nut files ? 

Now you are making it more complex than it really is, the gauge of the string will create the perfect slot so there is no need to add anything else. Just use the end of the string before you cut it and you will be fine.

I have replaced many nuts on my basses over the years and have always used a string. The finished job is always perfect and the technique is easier than using a file as you use both hands which gives you more control. Obviously it is better using Rounds than flats but flats will do the job too.

No. I'm wanting to buy a new fender Roasted maple neck, but the nut that's fitted comes with guide slits only and needs filing (very odd for a replacement neck I think). My gauge strings are 110-50

Why not use the strings that you are going to put on the Bass as a file. That is what I have always done, it is just as good as a file and will leave you with more dosh in your pocket.

Are you having problems with a certain string gauge?

Lovely RedVee

I have a PF20T as well, used with a home built B15 cab and P bass, it's all you need!

Nice one rubis.........Any pics?

I no longer gig I just record and play at home so here is my man cave rig an Ampeg PF20-T Amp and a Ampeg Micro SVT 210 Cabinet and it sounds great, very similar to a B-15 Head.

I own one and on certain Basses it shows a B instead of an E when it is positioned at the end of the headstock. If you move it to where the decal is on say a P Bass it shows E, so that is where I place it now on all of my Basses.

My Acoustic came with those horrible Phosphor Bronze strings, so I quickly replaced them with La Bella White Nylon Tapewounds which are a popular choice for Acoustics.They are ten times better than the stocks in both feel and tone.

Sparks by The Who from Tommy.....I prefer the live version.

Lovely Jazz Bass that would also look tops with a black scratch plate!

Maybe you could look for reviews on youtube at the new short scale Stingray which is passive!

I have a Classic and the same thing happened to me as the grub screws/saddles are useless. If you either raise them too high or too low the grub screws just strip. So if you are adjusting the height do it very slowly and when you feel some resistance stop because if you carry on the will surely strip. I had to get replacement saddles for my Classic so just be careful next time.

When I finally go I want The Jam's Going Underground to be played at my funeral!

I own one of these lightweight great sounding amps that has some really good Toneprints. The Combined Toneprints are my faves combing compression with drive that sound great on my Basses.
