The Bass Doc

Pickup bought from Alan in as smooth a deal as one could wish for. Top bloke.

Whether or not you like Elton John check out the fretless sound on Nikita. (not to mention the rather tasty girl playing the part in the video..... "tasty girl?".... I told you not to mention it).

[quote name='Matt P' timestamp='1370857879' post='2106255'] I believe that the j-pup in my 77 precision is a dimarzio model j, seems a great match to the original pickup. Matt [/quote] Yep, probably one of mine Matt

I've had good results using a DiMarzio model J in the bridge position when fitting quite a few to 70s Precisions at the time this mod was kind of an acceptable thing to do

Not sure if Spectre Sound still exist in Bingley. Maybe try a phone call - details on the net.

A performer whose name is James Blunt Made an album with his face on the front And then on the back Instead of each track Was another big pic of the............ "Can't think of a rhyme there Lurcio...."

[quote name='KiOgon' timestamp='1370171189' post='2097130'] The Pino is just a copy of an old P-bass Uncle Horrid found for a certain P-player for a few quid [/quote] Yes as far as I remember it was an ordinary 60s Precision (as far as pre-CBS Precisions can be called ordinary). It was/is a re-fin. Daft thing is if I had kept it I would be struggling to get 3£K for it in the present market but shudder to think what the deal would be should the man himself put it up for grabs. Uncle Horrid.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1370020416' post='2095701'] That still seems a bit steep to me. I reckon this would play a lot better and is much better value: [url="http://bit.ly/13qyYBT"]http://bit.ly/13qyYBT[/url] [/quote] Oarsome

Just concluded a smooth deal on an ultra rare part I happened to have among my spares. It was worth five times what I initially asked for and John, being the total gent that he is, offered not a penny more Yep, he's one of the good guys.

[quote name='ash' timestamp='1369848794' post='2093487'] I think I'll drop him a line..... [/quote] Maybe wait till Rick has been in touch with his Bank Manager. I can envisage him hurriedly filling out a second mortgage application form

Wow. Wait till Rick sees this. Puts his collection of Fine Fifties Fakers well and truly in the shade.

I can help. Can you possibly send me one of the remaining grub screws to double check that I am able to send you the exact one(s) since I can see two types/sizes in the box marked 'Badass spares'. Address available via PM.

Yamaha SB-7A

What a shame . He must have been the inspiration behind the Derek Smalls character.

I knew Kate Bush when she was just a twig. Coat......>>>>>>

[quote name='Conan' timestamp='1368027249' post='2072235'] Thanks for the update Dr Frankenstein.... but how is his bass progressing? [/quote] Ah, you caught me out there. The bass if fine. As to the other project, I managed to secure appropriate neck bolts but it's proving tricky to find a suitable head containing brains. I was offered the head of a recently deceased heavy metal guitarist but, as previously stated, the brains are hard to find

I've found 3 black speed knobs among my spares if you want them. I reckon they are to fit oriental splined pots however rather than USA types.
