When you have done the deal... refund or replace... I'd be asking GAK how much to keep the damaged one, save the cost of DPD etc... bound to find a P body somewhere, or design ya own and fit the bits! Body would also be the perfect starting place for a cheeky thru' neck P... @Andyjr1515?

Best Value?... Tone Rider @ £40 Less... Wilkinson Alnico @ £30 More... Kent Armstrong Hot Vintage Alnico @ £60

I'd be letting the shop know, if purchased new... just to put a marker down in case things change? 2 piece, unlikely... but thats not to say that it usn't a join... I'd have the neck off and a look in the pocket. Post pics.

I got mine from Ali Express... https://m.aliexpress.com/item/4000300156149.html?spm=a2g0n.order_detail.order_detail_item.3.418bf19cCb6LQL

Starfish Trooper - Yes

Nice Bass... colour and contours look good, and sounds like some cool times a head... great way to chat and engage...

Looks Neat... Altogether Now... # ...really love your Tiger Feet...

Update: The Artec QTP... BIG Jump in tone from '0 - Bypass' to '1 - Extra High Cut' as described by... Like going from open to half-way on a pot... I checked i was using the Bass connection, not the other one. I'm wondering if Bypass, like wiring Vol straight to jack, is the same as a Tone Pot (250k) on Zero? - Is the 250k effectively across the pickup.. what about the effect of the Cap still being in line? Maybe the QTP just doesn't suit the Kent Armstong's character... So swapped the tone switch out for an Alpha B250k and 47u... standard. Other than that, i'm very much enjoying it. 😁 The Pure Tone Double Contact Jack Socket... real nice mechanical engineering feel to pluggin' in... If ya moddin' fit one while ya in there.

Might be minimal trouble under the blob? Ya gotta get if off to see... I'd just 'Soldier' on...

I'd pick it off or tweezer.. Any paint left in the can? Spray on a cotton bud and dab... Nitro is meant to surface-melt or react, so might blend in respectably...

Keep coming back to Bass > Lead > Amp... ish, usually via my trusty Joyo JT-305 Korg Pitch Black-a-like Muting Tuner... and often with the 'ol Coiley Lead. Wander off in fits 'n dreams and flights of fancy, or P!$$ing about waisting time as it's often known, with the Zoom B1on, or the 'lil Joyo Ironman pedals... a trait more often recognised in the Skinny String lot... Then, I'm back in the room...

Albatross - Fleety Mac {Albatross!... cause ya don't get wafers with it...}

Good Darts... love the Go Faster stripe looks very Court / Ibanez GSR...

Quick wipe over with Isoprop alcohol... or those glasses, screen wipes.

Semi-Skimmed?

Try a different plug socket... Any Fluorescent Lighting or Dimmer Switches?

Steppenwolf - Hawkwind

Same packahging on my Alibacker... Polystyrene, Indoors, with a Cat, are you Mad? Could of made an Unboxing Vid that went vital! Start the 'Partial Refund' Request with the LED... start at £50 and see what they say, cos they sure won't want it back at the shipping cost.

25 O'Clock - The Dukes of Stratosphere (XTC)

Nice... Skip-Diving here i come!..

...looks like i'm gonna need a bigger board... </Jaws> To make up for, or detract from, my rather bassic(!) and rudimentary playing - plus being a big Hawkwind fan - I likes a bit of 'movement'... Chorus was cheap and sounds really nice and subtle... so tracked down the matching Phaser... Boss Mimics me thinks? with the addition of Level to the 2 Pot CE, and 3 Pot PHr (Resonance) variant of the original 2 Pot PH I had the Amdek Kit Versions in the 80s. Shame they are long gone. Even small 2 rail pedal boards are tall at 13cm but biggest problem is too much gap... just to show how small they are compared to a normal size pedal Still got to sort a big of wood or ally plate 25cm 10" ish x 10cm 4" ish Any other ideas for a board?... might do some skip-raiding for odds 'n ideas.

I like spaceship noises... just a little levitating phaser...

Loves a bit of Budgie... Super Sound, Chops 'n Change and some Earthy Funk Tones... older 70'sstuff, Power Supply/Night Flight in the 80's was a Marked Change... then back to it with Cuckoo Land in 2006. Off to walk the dog and a listen to Zoom Club!

Roary... like it, suits the chequered flag strap... You seem to have something lodged in the strings at the second fret?.. 😉
