  1. Have a measure up for a bit of brass from the bay... or https://www.metaloffcuts.co.uk/product/natural-brass-sheet/ listing suitable size off cuts 100m x 100m 1.5, 2mm thick...
  2. Aunt Hilda's Fur Coat... Isn't that by YES?
  3. Brass markers n nut different and have come up nice. gonna fashion a matching brass truss nut cover? Nice thru neck n wood. bet its got a bit of weight n substance to it.
  4. Nice find... ...and the after pics? Are you removing the flags and headstock adornments? What does the back look like, thru neck?
  5. Nice... what a great idea 😉 Silver screws match the hardware... knobs, bridge, machine heads etc.
  6. Screw Fix Danish Oil... £5... Almost clear, very light tint, several coats, nice matt to satin finish. Its all in the before hand prep... unless you want a worn look. Did my Cruiser P-a-like. (Search 'Danish Oil' on here and you will get a few posts n ideas) Applied using the slurry method with fine wet n dry.. easier than spraying.
  7. Do you need the width adjust? will the current Accucast B500 fit? If you can go with the std 19mm spacing maybe drop down a model of bridge for say the current B300 or B120?
  8. Had one of those rechargable Vox-a-likes... OKish but not great, and wouldnt fit the Ibby SR600 recessed jack. Got a Zoom B1xFour, the model with the Vol / Expression Pedal from a fellow Basschater a couple of months back after um-ing and ah-ing, convinced myself, but has gone mainly unused. I likes the simplicity of the EHX Headphone amp https://www.ehx.com/products/headphone-amp and a short 1m lead. No fuss 'n gimicks or sim, just the sound of the bass, but can be used after an effects pedal or two, I have a cheap Chorus and Phaser by Wholenote, Ibanez Tank Series Clones.
  9. Try a smear of vaseline on the worm gears... applied with a cotton bud for ease. Might smooth things out and give a better feel.
  10. From looking at the pictures... looks like an 18mm or 3/4" corner used on 15mm or 5/8" edge...
  11. Alone Again Or - Damned
  12. From posts on here about the MM, P 'n J of this lot... and someone on here has modded one of these... https://www.thomann.de/gb/harley_benton_pb_50_sb_vintage_series.htm or https://www.thomann.de/gb/harley_benton_pb_50_fr_vintage_series.htm And express yourself with a headstock template, a sander and your own finish... What could go wrong for £105 initial outlay? I would love to but would have to lose the Ibby EDA900 first...
  13. pics? try warming it a little... would of posdibly been better warming the wrap prior to removal. hairdryer rather than heat gun.
  14. Watching a bit of the Eric Clapton Crossroads Festival 2019... Excuse my ignorance... Not sure who the bass player is, but playing Squire Sunburst Jazz... Gonna be a fair few $£€¥ of wood on and backstage...
  15. Lookin' Nice in Danish... Satin and brings out the wood. Did a cheapy some while back with £5 Screwfix Danish Oil and wet n dry slurry method.
  16. Brand New Cadillac - The Clash / Inner City Unit / ...
  17. The Salmon Song - Steve Hillage
  18. Seven by Seven - Hawkwind
  19. White Wedding - Billy Idol
  20. Nice Bass... Lookin' different in the Scratchplate, Pickup department... and a nice old style 2 saddle bridge. Had similar with a machine head, one of a cheapy set for a Cruiser by Crafter fix-up. I Removed the bolt holding the gear wheel, and pushed a 'plug' out from the back of the string post with a scribber. Worth a go for a better anchor on the E string... If its a fix, you won't have to list it as an issue? Is that some sort of X in the wood or some sort if shaddow, just under the strings?
  21. Not wishing to hijack Tjhooker's thread... He will 'prolly arest me! Any builders with a suitable off cut - 108mm (4 1/4") x 40mm (1 1/2") x 8mm (5/16") thick - to fashion a Bartolini-esq soapbar Flat bottom, Radius top edges... to go between the pickups of my Ibby SR600 in Natural or Fretboard hue as per my Avatar pic?
  22. A nice little earner for builders off cuts? Matching or Contrasting woods... So you would think... eBay for perspex?
  23. Spliff - Spliff Radio Show... Album with a Radio Show Format - each track a different style, with light hearted adverts! German, 80's Electronic Disco Punk Funk... a bit 'Tubes' esq
  24. DiscoKaine - Spliff Radio Show {Some lovely 80's 'clank' - for those that havent herd em check em out... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spliff_(band) }
  25. Sounds like a mechanical switch, with a 'break-before-make' switching action, rather than a 'make-before-break' switching action. Rather than a switch switching the circuit electronicaly...
