Mmmm - don't have materials around just now unfortunately... -
I can relate to that! 🤣👍

It's a coil tap

Dave bought my old Baldwin bass via a face-to-face deal & everything was perfect - he's a great guy to deal with & wouldn't hesitate trading again. Enjoy the bass! 😁👍

Replied from Newcastle! -
Thanks all! I definitely do think it's the same bass as the one in the film (the flamed maple on the headstock in the film looks to match), but I've not been able to find anything to 100% validate it. The band weren't credited on the film, so that makes it even trickier... It is a lovely bass though & has a lovely thump on the front pickup - if I had more space in the house I'd be hanging on to it!

Put my Warmoth up for sale - £350 collected from up North https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/449902-warmoth-medium-scale-single-cut-precision-bass/

It certainly does! The Geezer is EMG's take on a passive Precision pickup & it's currently strung with flats to give it more of a vintage Fender feel & tone.

Cheers! Assembled it myself from parts. Body is swamp ash & neck is Canary, which I'd describe as half way between maple & wenge. Much lighter than maple & very articulate - difficult to put into words, but I tried it in a couple of different bodies & it sounded great on both! Finished lightly with tru oil, so feels very 'natural wood' if you know what I mean... Pickup is EMG Geezer Butler & hardware is Hipshot (bridge / string tree) / Schaller (tuners).

That one's gone to a new home now, but I am thinking of putting a Warmoth 32" scale bass up for sale soon. Weighs less than 7lb & sounds huge!

Sold Martin my Squier & it was a really straightforward transaction - great comms, prompt payment & no hassles at all. Would definitely deal with Martin again in the future. Enjoy the bass! 😁👍

Thanks @Mark S! Totally agree - Fender Japan instruments of this era are really solid pro instruments with a vintage spec. Think I'll miss this one...

Managed to source a box so postage is now an option... 😁👍

Thanks @ordep - much appreciated! 😁👍

Shameless plug, but just put my Squier Japanese Medium Scale Precision up for sale... https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/448192-squier-japan-32-scale-medium-scale-precision-bass/

Glad to hear the Aria is still with you, @Matt P - lovely bass! Always been a bit scared to put a chronological list of bass purchases together - could take a while. All I can remember is that the list grew exponentially after joining up here... 😁👍

Is it just a neck you need? Not sure how much shipping / taxes would be, but how about this? https://aeguitars.com/collections/necks/products/medium-scale-paddle-bass-neck-maple-rosewood-right-lefty-block-inlay If it doesn't have to be a Fender-style headstock then there's a Gibson-style headstock one at https://retrovibe.co.uk/product/retrovibe-bass-neck-32-medium-scale-20-fret-maple-blackwood/ Alternatively, buy this! 😉
