    What he said. A lovely part of the world (though it rains a lot). Whereabouts in W Cornwall?

    Sold my old Trace Elliot head to Graham, who arranged a trip over from Ireland in order to collect it! Top man, great comms throughout, it's been a pleasure throughout.

    I had a Yamaha BX-5 for a while. I bought it as an upgrade to the Hohner B2V I had and it was by some measure a far superior instrument. The 'vestigial' upper horn made the instrument hang in a way that kind of negated the 'missing headstock' phenomenon that can happen with these. It sounded totally fantastic, absolute quality, yet I sold it - completely mad to have done, it was a truly wonderful bass. You're probably as unlikely to see one for sale as a Hohner Jack V but if you do jump all over it. Assuming you see it before I do

    Having a quick look online I think it must be a hollow-body one for 335 shapes. There are a few that would fit a mustang with a little wiggle room at the sides of then lower body. Gator one is under £60 at some places, ditto the Thomann.

    Does one of these little beauties count?

    I believe that is the key to most things. I'd rather be part of a band that plays a song I don't like well rather than one I love badly. Of course nothing beats playing songs I love really well, which is the current situation with my blues rock trio.

    There are a couple of guitar hard cases that fit a Mustang/Musicmaster. I think it is this one, which at £66 is a lot less. Gator XL I bought an old LP double cutaway style guitar case at a boot sale that fits my Mustang like a glove but I've not worked out which one it is yet.

    Can I just say @stewblack that your descriptions always make me smile

    Great picture! I'll mention it to Nat when I see her next 😁

    Sold a pickup to Jeff in the easiest of transactions

    Aussie Pink Floyd at the Cliff's Pavilion in Westcliff. Not seen them before, what a performance! Absolutely spot on in all respects (maybe the bass could have had the tone rolled off a fraction) They lost the backing track on the left hand side for a short while but it came back again. Can't recall seeing a better light show.

    Now on hold 😊

    And replied. Current sitrep is awaiting first person who enquired to confirm measurements

    Alas, yes - now sold

    Took this off a Hondo II H-1015, guy I bought it from put this on as a replacement to the original after it had buckled. This one is fine and in good nick, no idea of make. Asking £15 posted to UK mainland

    Hipshot Ultralite Licensed tuners, set of 4 for in line. HB6 chrome. Never been fitted but blister pack doesn't include screws. Weigh 56g each. Hipshot blurb here I bought them here for a little project and ended up changing my mind. £45 posted to UK mainland

    Aguilar AG 5P-60 pickup - Precision style split humbucker pickup for 5 string. Deep, vintage tone - fabulous thing. Link to Aguilar blurb These sell new for £125-£130, this has had light use so asking £85 posted to UK mainland. Will come in an Aguilar box, just not the right one

    I removed this from a Hondo II H-1015, sounded lovely - output is a whisker under 12K. Confirmed not to be a DiMarzio but it looks like one, I'd say slightly less bite in tone. In good nick. Asking £15 posted to UK mainland.

    Not bought 'that' much stuff but the best is without question my Gibson Les Paul Jnr DC. It is immensely good fun to play and sounds awesome. It has also re-ignited my love affair with short(er) scale basses. I made a few not quite so good as that purchases but nothing nasty springs to mind.

    Pete drove up from the south coast to have a look at my Carvin bass, armed with a huge wad of cash. he left with the bass, I ended up with the wad. Ain't life grand! A pleasure doing business, sir - hope the traffic was kind!
  22. Paul S
    Well, yes, I thought it might be. I sent the pics to DiMarzio technical support and they just answered - not one of ours! That's halved its retail value then 😁
  23. Paul S
    Nobody recognise this - DiMarzio imposter or real deal? A whisker under 12kOhm resistance, if that means anything much.
  24. Paul S
    Chant #1 Spandau Ballet springs to mind.
  25. Paul S
    I've just taken this pickup out of an 80s Hondo II H-1015 that I bought the other day but is too heavy to even contemplate using as is. It certainly sounded very good but is it a DiMarzio? Pics online seem to show a green wire not a blue one. The covers come off, also - I think (?) that DiMarzio are glue filled? or did it vary? Any help in confirming or denying much appreciated. Muchas gracias
