Service should [edit:Shouldnt] depend on what ya spend... one persons grand may be an easy spend, someone elses 300 notes may be hard one and all they have... service is service.... I never see why these things happen... boils my fosters... Name n shame...

My first thoughts on the pics before reading any posts was... 'If Stormtroopers played bass...'

...Again to make string changes easier, the bridge itself I've adapted to be quick release by drilling though the tail piece alongside each string hole. Crude but works perfectly! Nice touch...

Ta... Recorder set...

@Old Man Riva post above got my 'Wobble-on' so digging out Rising Above Bedlam to rip to my mp3 player for laters, after fish n chips listening...

Get him that year of birth bass now...

My 'new to me' SR600 had a broken machinehead plastic washer... £4 for a pack of 8, posted from CDGuitars... arrived next day...

From my guitar days... A Jim Dunlop Jazz III... Small-ish shape n 1.38mm thick... feels right for picking, a little thick for strumming...

Thanks guys... Love the finish and neck wood, 'lectrics all fine, @Old Man Riva has kindly offered me a lightly used set of Rotosound Solo Bass Compression Wound 45-105 strings, Hopefully giving a nice smooth, warm and sweet grown-up tone... will wait till they are on before fiddling with saddle hight and intonation tweeks...

Marshall MB range... I have a MB15 - 2 Channel, Modern with Comp, Classic with Gain... Nice little practice amp. MB30 version is Channel foot switchable... and the 60, 150 and 300 have ECC83 Valve Pre.

So much more paisley... is it the holes dont line up? Shame... could the be moved a little on the guard and a slightly larger counter sink applied to half split the difference?

before ya spend.. check out CDGuitars. great service...

Nice... I do likes the Ibby SRs...

UPDATE: Ordred yesters at about half eleven... Arrived today! So looks like they aim to get letter size jiffys out in time for the afternoon post collection. Plastic Washers are proper 'All Parts' items, not some ill fitting odd thing and for less than some eBay stuff. Recommend Chas @ CDGuitars... Good price 'n great service...

Thats green... things that green usually turn black... then drop off... reminds me of taking the felt bit out a felt tip pen!

Some buckle marks on the back and the odd scratch to the sides... but means i'm not gonna be overly preciouse about it stood up in the corner... It came with a generic hard case... but prefer the gig bag that i got with the GSR200, easier and takes up much less room... Hobby player and not as if the bass will be leaving the house Gave the frets a dremel polish, binned the old strings and used the OE that came on the GSR as a stop gap... Ordered some Dunlop Stainless... as discussed in a strings thread the Dunlops have a thinner over winding so feel smoother... 45-105. Just got to move on the GSR200B-WNF with the Hard Case, to recoup some of the cost...

https://www.cdguitars.co.uk/ Looking for one of the small plastic washers / bush to replace a broken one on a machine head on my Ibby SR600, came across this lot. No experiance of their service (yet) and nothing to do with me... but order placed. UK delivery 99p... so makes sence for those couple of quid items... Rather than the £4.95 postage being more than ya few quid switch, screw, pot, washer, whatever...

Indegestion? Touch of GAS? Took some 'Gumtree'... I likes the Ibanez SR's... After buying a GSR200, nice and great value, I wish I threw some more $£ in and gone for the SR300. I also likes me 'Naturals'... So I 'Hit Submit' on a 2010 SR600... Ash Body, 5 Piece Jatoba/Bubinga Neck... 38mm Nut... Bartolini Mk1 pups £200... Hopefully I didn't get my pants pulled down to far?

use a dremel with a little polish mop and a touch of auto glym on the frets...

nice meaty bridge... clear guard... nice styling touch with the circular cut for the knob... nice...

thats some bridge on that...

Sounds expensive.. Mercury? Anthracite type grey / gray?
