0000 Wire Wool or 3000 Grit... 'n go steady.

Yep... Natural and Satin...

Most basic... and near indestructable EHX Headphone amp @ £40.... Zoom B1on / B1Four are great... (I've got an EHX and a B1on) The Yam Session Cakes also crop up cheap on the bay. Down to budget... But keep clear of the plug-in Vox-Amp type Bug thingies that hang out ya jack socket... they are noisy and break at the plug... and you will end up wanting and needing to buy something else.

and maybe some better feet for the cab...

Velcro Dots on the feet... or take the feet of and a velcro strip... ala pedal board.

I see there is another free download on Intonation and Issues... Thanks for sharing... I'll downliad and drop Haze a note of thanks.

Thanks - happy with the outcome with general tools... no fret files. Learned a bit from 'Nutting' the acoustic i got. Was looking at getting a brass nut, but thought i'd give a 'build up' a go... Still got to strip the J Bitsa down and have a go at the Neon Hydro-Dip paint job when the weather warms up... And my Rick-o-like has just been shipped, so waiting on that, which i expect will need a little fettle...

The nut slots on my J Bitsa neck were a bit low, particularly the A and D... giving a buzz when played open... So finaly got around to doing something about it. Seen the 'ol Super Glue and Bi Carb mentioned and vids on Youtube, so gave it a go. Masked it up... Mixed it up... Built it up... Sanded Flat... Slotted with Needle Files Sanded the slots smooth and pencil lead to lube... Sorted! You can make out the 'Clearer Build Up'... If in doubt give it a go!

After doing the Jazz Bitsa, I'm thinking of going back to the P Bitsa and Tele-ing its head... just to make an increase to the difference in appearance... might need a very slightly wider 'long bump' for a little wood under the string tree... same style string tree as @Cuzzie Got some spare decals... Yay or Nay?

@shug...Zakly wot i woz on about... Has the added benefit of not looking much if ya turn ya back for a mo, or left in the back of the mota for a bit... Good Darts!

Isn't he the new Arsenal Midfielder?..

Haven't got £75ish to spend on a bridge to go on to a £200 Bass. I quite like the traditional chunky look of the Rick-o-like bridge and will shim the center sadles. If i don't get on with it i might go for a cheap high mass type, or If a secondhand Scaller or Hipshot Rick comes up, maybe, but they are never cheap. As for the heel... body is unstained and a satin finish, so could get a bit of reprofiling if over troublesome.

So... not exactly to the spec 'n pics i sent... but near enough and negotiated a bit of a discount 😉 some pics of the finished article... I now think the 'Toasters' look better than Plain covers... Love the plain fretboard and colour... And from the back... Nice Thru Neck Stripe. What do you recon?... plain 'n simple... And so begins the month wait of shipping...

Depends what ya can afford to loose... 😉 Also watch out for any other thin conductive screening or wrap that might be around the inner insulator and betweem the braid...

If ya handy with a soldering iron... i'd cut an inch or two off each end, or past any strain relief... and solder the plugs back on... worth a go...
