  2. Seems totally fair to me. Happy hunting...
  3. Ha ha... Great idea...(thanks). The trickiest situation was when I have bought new guitars, even though I give the courier instructions to deposit said item in the garage, there was the bigger problem of getting shot of all the cardboard packaging undetected. Especially as the axe in question has been a big hollow body!
  4. That's a shame, have you tried raising the pickup height? My pu is fairly low, maybe it's because it's an active circuit that it's punching out well.
  5. Yup, I'm really impressed with mine, especially now the new strings have bedded in. Has plenty of low end grunt now.
  6. Thanks, I even have a regular socially distance jam with a pal... probably a bit extreme, but we're both still alive and rocking!
  7. Hi Ricky, It's taken this long to respond to your post because the strings on this bass were absolutely shagged, not much of the nickel remaining. So I waited until my new strings arrived and give it a proper set up so to give it a fair hearing. TBH it sounded fine as it was despite the intonation being miles out and a massive curve in the neck, things could only get better. Stripped off the old strings and to my surprise the nut fell off! No evidence of glue in the recess. No matter as 80lbs of string tension will hold that baby firm. Plugged in and what a difference. Fingers zipping around the fretboard, sounds a bit over bright, but that's to be expected with new strings... they will soon mellow out. The bass itself is a nice weight, feels like a medium scale even though it's a long one. Gave it a good workout, and it proves to be a great all-rounder, the active circuit tone controls are simple and effective... Glad I bought it, a joy to play. Cheers... Col.
  8. Man, I wish I could retire! I get involved in so many projects that I simply run out of time. Can't place your bridge, but if you have a floating bridge amongst your stuff that I could incorporate into the cigar box guitar I'm building, then get back to me lol.
  9. Ha ha, No worries mate, and I DID get Wifey new shoes! (Guilt tripping in) Nowhere near the price of the bass, but as I really had a shyte couple of weeks at work, I needed cheering up big-time. ( How lame an excuse is that??? Especially after buying the Fender amp the week before, she was ok with that one though as I had sold my previous amp)...
