I think we have a winner.

Bunch of flowers, take them out for a meal, take things steady. Don't expect to get past first base as you would with a valve.

I have been called 'meat and two veg' in the past and wondered what was meant. All is clear

Looks like I am the first to post some feedback for Mark (shoulderpet) I bought an Entwistle pickup from him in the very simplest of transactions. Great comms throughout, posted off speedily, arrived nicely packaged. Thank you for an easy deal, sir

That was one of the less silly ones!? 😄

I spent £85 on an Encore double cutaway shortscale. Body was extremely lightweight and neck was ok but nothing special. Then spent £90 on a Hondo II medium scale with a fantastic maple neck but boat anchor body. Sold pups for £20, bridge for £15, body for £10 so neck cost me £45. My local go-to luthier joined these two together in a feat of wizardry and charged me £80 Wilkinson bridge, £20(?) Entwistle pup £30-ish Kiogon loom £25-ish. I changed the Entwistle for a Fender CS 60s reissue model but will change back to an Entwistle as I prefer the attack . My maths makes that around £285 and I love it. 3.1kg of rock machine

I don't watch much but for some reason I enjoy Repair Shop. There are two ladies who repair stuffed toys and I wondered if one of them was the inspiration for your avatar

You may possibly find someone who would trade your Jazz neck for their Precision neck. Have you ever watched a TV programme called 'Repair Shop', btw?

No, Steve was his replacement.

I like the bass tone on this track, particularly, but the whole album. Kind of perfect woody P bass.

I had this trio for a while

Bought a set of strings from Dan in the easiest and quickest of deals. Arrived next day! Thanks Dan. And Mike.

No. I am not against the odd frivolous purchase (as my feedback thread will testify) but this was bass too far

If it doesn't need to be Precision bass shaped I'd toss Yamamahaha into the ring, their BB424 does a great P sound and more, of course, with the J. Also a Westone Thunder 1 - one of the early ones with the split humbucker.

Well, to misquote Benjamin Franklin: there's nothing more certain on Basschat - as in Life - than bad puns and Taxus. A little botanical humour there. Well, almost.

My blues rock band are adding the Rory Gallagher song 'Secret Agent' to our set as it was suggested by a chap who comes to most of our gigs. Very straightforward - to the point that the changes will trip me up! Great tune though, not one I had heard before.

Not dear, either BIN £220 or offer. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Westone-Spectrum-LX-Bass-Guitar/193412490440?hash=item2d084864c8:g:jdkAAOSwMQ5eiwWI

If you want to move on those Entwistles, give me a whistle

I don't want to seem contrary but if the Bronco were properly set up - neck relief, saddle height, neck angle are set properly and the frets levelled - you wouldn't get fret buzz. Nowt to do with body shape and/or neck dimensions.

Posted this pic elsewhere but the addition of this Entwistle pup into this Hondo Alien has transformed it. Shortscale, headless and 2 octave neck - designed to play mind games!

Super, I'll delete mine!

One would have hoped for a better bedside manner
