TbirdnTalman

There's a whole load of 2 Tone and Specials on before this, thanks for the heads up

.. and courtesy of https://www.basschat.co.uk/tags/hooky_lowdown/, JB-75 neck fitted, v easy to do - screws lined up perfectly 😎

Likewise just had excellent experience with HB Jazz bass neck, good comms, fast and packaged very very well. Thanks v much 👍

I had to change the tuners on my PB-20 when I broke one..... but otherwise good, although my search for an HB Jazz neck as a replacement (without buying the whole kit) seems fruitless, but that's hardly a massive complaint! and EarlPilanz (eBay, Glasgow) makes HB guards to order

Ooo didn’t know about the discount-is there a code or how does it work?

👍

Nope… only stickers and packaging 😟. did you get the talent/noise t shirt?

Likewise will see if I got one at weekend….. massive FOMO even though don’t know what I would do with it!

Just don't use dilithium crystals then,,,?

Ps no customs issue

Haven’t had time with work and life to sit down and really try it yet but will let you know!

Oooo mine came today too….. now waiting for train home from work , it’s up currently against NM2, Amianto, Lomenzo for a spot alongside Sovtek deluxe fuzz

Excellent 👍🏻

Oh dear - at least you know the issue now!

As far as I can remember I think mine had springs but I was remounting my Jazz PUs the same weekend so I may be getting them confused. Either way might help so best wishes!

Could you get some foam under the pickups? Like your Orville - did up my TB up the same way over Gibson black pickups with chrome 😀. And at Jean-Luc, there are some dentist bass players…..

Thanks! Now just need to get to Guildford to try one!

It’s lovely ….. so just to actuate GAS, does anyone have any views around the quality/sound of the current ones on sale ? They have been tempting just from a novelty POV for a while…..

Ok I’ll leave it to you n dude, best wishes

Hi Paul, bloomin' typical! I ordered one last week! but another might not go amiss, depends on where you are in Essex as I have a contact working out that way.... Thanks for your generosity

Welcome down the rabbit hole - enjoying the hyperdrive?

Looks good! I'm keeping the original to trim to the new plate if want to swap back to the dark side. Great work 😀

OK, so thread resurrection time.... Firstly you'll see the name is no longer correct.... Secondly the black Talman is still all black (at the moment) Thirdly, @stewblack you'll see there is now some tort in my world, on my HB SBK PB20 (now with quarter pounder and a Gotoh bridge). Finally, (the whole point of this) light mint green pearl conversion (courtesy of earlpilanz) on fairly recently acquired 96 Jazz from dark pearl (before) to (after) with correct knobs and control plate..... so thanks everyone for the input, got there in the end (and there is a white pearl pickguard ready just in case)! Now tempted to switch the PU covers on the Tbird to chrome....
