You want bling, you should have a think about the acrylic mirror pickguard I have for sale I bought the Axesrus BWB one to replace this. It says made in japan on the back. Was an OK fit - I had to shave a weeny bit from the pocket and two screw holes didn't quite align.

I find I have no further use for the hard case in which my cute little Squier VM Mustang arrived. I believe it is one of these - a guitar case but large enough for a shortscale bass. At least, a perfect fit for a Mustang. Length inside is 107cm. It has a few minor scuffs but, really, is in great nick. Still has the key. Looks like this - stock pic. If you really insist I can take some pics of this one but it won't prove anything other than I actually own it Seem to cost between £69-110 online. I am asking £30 collected, postage would be extra. Could meet or deliver within reason for fuel. Ta -
Common sense? Anyone got a link to where I could find some?

Can any bass player here tab/score this bassline

5 posts in and he comes out slugging! I fear your time on this bass forum will be short lived unless you learn some manners, matey. For one thing, I have read and re-read the OP and can't see the word 'please' anywhere. Maybe I was dragged up differently. -
Maybe I could take the neck on holiday with me! I'm guessing it is poly - the bass is a Squier VM Mustang. Damned fine little fella it is too.
-
I am sure if you explained to your line manager making a 2 minute phone call wouldn't result in you getting handed notice. I bought a short scale bass from there, when it arrived it was in fact a mistakenly described long scale. One phone call sorted the issue inside a minute.

I see. Might add some seasoning and BBQ sauce
-
Thanks. I hadn't considered the effect of the temp. changes. Probably not worth taking a risk.

Not doing my GAS for these much good!

Stupid question #347. If I stick my pale honey coloured new-ish maple neck out into sunlight on sunny days, will it age and darken the finish much quicker than leaving it indoors? I suspect the answer will be 'yes' but not sure by how much. Ta.

Could be that an item has limited appeal and so hangs around for a long while, not just inflated prices.
-
I find this interesting as most of the shims I have seen/have fallen out of my basses when taking the necks off have been small things that go to one end of the pocket or the other, not completely covering the pocket like these. The net result of that is the neck gets tilted, not raised, and the shim doesn't have to be so thick. What is the idea behind the whole pocket shim?
-
And, of course, if there is a problem in transit and it is damaged when - or if - it arrives it is not going to be straighforward to sort out.

Can't help flesh out any detail but so glad it seems to have landed into the lap of someone who is going to do this fantastic bass some justice. Whilst I had hold of the baton I had it refretted and, I believe, improved for that. Still far too nice for me, though.

This image is A4 so if you set your printer to print original size it should come out right. To check there is a line of cm markers. -
If it helps re fit or hole positions I can trace around it onto a piece of paper and post it off. Or maybe easier to scan it for a downloadable template. Might have a go at that tomorrow.

Following a recommendation I read on here I shipped a bass to the Netherlands last week with Eurosender. Size limit was 175cm, insured for up to €2000 (they specifically mention musical instruments) it cost a whisker under €49, although there is also a lower value point too. 2 working days door to door. Very impressed.

Just sold my Yamaha BX-5 to Ed is a smooth transaction. Good comms throughout, most pleasant experience all round.

Gotta love Basschat - what a great thing to do!

Playing covers - how accurate do you need to be?

If one of my farts slide I believe I am in trouble. -
Patrick put out a call for a Gibson G3. I had just recently bought one and found that, fantastic as it was, it just wasn't particularly to my liking. So I got in touch and we sorted out the details. Patrick is happy because he now has another beloved G3. I am happy because I have a grand back in the bank He was a great bloke to deal with - I've never met him but feel as though I've known him for years! We also now know a reasonably priced international courier, so good all round. Enjoy the bass my friend

Yes, does seem a bit of a major error. Still, not a problem sending it back. It is actually a gorgeous bass. It isn't the bright white shown in the pics but a warm opalescent finish that looks superb with the black neck and hardware/no pickguard look. Probably the only thing wrong with it is that because the pics are so contrasty they didn't show up a huge patch of wear on the back. But who looks at the back of their bass all day? Sounds nice, too. But not 30" scale and a bit heavy for me at 4.2kg. So, yes, going back.
-
And it is here today - very speedy service from Bass direct. Lovely bass, too - my main issue is that it is 34" scale!
-
This. I have ad block and have no idea what y'all talking about.

Well, I misread that, didn't I
