    Howard transformed my old Westone Thunder Jet into a rock monster. Routed out for a Musicman pickup, custom scratchplate to cover up at the front, new backplate at rear for easier access to the gubbins, wired to an existing P-retro. Absolutely top job, couldn't be more pleased.

    All together now - because their horns don't work

    Sold some pups to Ian, totally smooth transaction, good comms, freindly chap, wouldn't hesitate to deal with him again

    Hammersmith Apollo 11th, other dates, tickets on sale for this on Friday! Recently DH has used Klyde Jones on bass. Plus John has grown his moustache back. I'll be waiting by the phone Friday!

    Another Dunlop 1mm user. They last for years and even when rounded off at the bottom are great for 'less attack'. Although you can use one of the round top corners for that if you like. I lost one the other day - first time in about 10 years!

    Another vote for a Midget. I have a Compact + Midget and the pairing is marvellous. Also gives flexibility for rehearsals, too - I usually just take the Midget along. OOmph-wise I've never found the pair lacking - I use a TC Classic 450 or GB Streamliner 600..

    Thanks for that Jon - I thought it looked 'familiar' but couldn't place the shape. I've asked about these before, maybe one to try if a real cheapie pops up...

    Anyone recognise this thing? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Bass-guitar-made-in-Japan-/321304112158?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item4acf37ac1e Looks kind of nice. I wonder how heavy/how wide the neck is etc?

    I believe it says on the card at the top of the picture - £695

    I've tried Gotoh, Badass and Hipshot. Of those I think Hipshot is the best but Gotoh is the best value.

    Another option, maybe, is to make one up. I bought a rather scruffy 70s Musicmaster extremely cheaply then, courtesy of The Bass Doc, had fitted a Precision pup (needed a little bit of routing), new scratchplate and electrics (from KiOgon) - transformed it from a rather weedy thing to something unique that sounds rather nice. All in it was still a good deal cheaper than a new Mustang.

    I recently bought an Ibanez bass fitted with Wilkinson WPB Precision-type pickup and WBJB Jazz pickup in the bridge position. Now removed, bass returned to stock, pups no longer required. Pretty good nick, a little scuffed but work just fine. Decent length of wire. They seem to cost around £35 each online. £25 for both, posted, or £15 each, posted. A fraction less if collected from Benfleet in Essex. If you really, really want pics I suppose I can take some...

    Groan! Trading is good, means we don't have to Shell out cash....

    Stagg pedal board cases are very cheap, lightweight and, although not spectacularly robust, are 'ok'. Ali/abs body with removable lid.

    Traded basses with Bryan - very pleased with my end of the deal! Thoroughly decent chap to deal with and a pleasure doing business.

    Nice to know ol' Sly Stallone is keeping busy these days, though he seems to have dropped a size or two.

    ... or even a screw terminal on the ends of the wires. Even quicker.

    [quote name='Fionn' timestamp='1389172164' post='2330767'] it's not rocket science. [/quote] Pocket science?

    Mr Flat Eric, sir, you are most kind. If I can help with costs etc please let me know.

    I don't know how important your time is, or how often you change strings, but I find the Hipshot through-bridge stringing to be very fast and convenient because you don't have to thread the string through anything, just lay it into the slot.

    Bought a leather strap from Chris. Absolute top-drawer, five star, fur lined transaction! Great comms, friendly guy to deal with. Perfect!

    Good heavens, that sounds all very technical! I hope you get some more takers to make it worthwhile!

    I have recently picked up a rather nice '85 Aria Pro II Laser Electric Bass 'Classic' (or whichever order these words go in) that is missing 3 of the pickup mounting bolts. I say 'bolts' because the nut is buried in the body of the bass, rather than just a screw which is what is just about holding down half of the pups at the moment! Does anyone know of hand what size these are and a source? Or, indeed, does anyone have any knocking about in their bits drawer? Ta

    [quote name='geoffbyrne' timestamp='1389015170' post='2328753'] Back in the 60's we put the screws back in..... G. [/quote] Genius. You can't lose the buggers like that!
