Il'l take the natural 'burly wood'... and a Wilkinson Alnico... NO.. Don't need another bass...

Oi!.. who you calling a Teenage Bottlerocket?

Plug In Baby - Muse

Love the Hawkwind Strap... As far as a refin goes... you could loose the pony, and try shaven head, contacts and a goatee?..

Heft... i think its like Torque... and i think Peak with the SI unit of ooomph. So 'x' amount of 'Heft Ooomphs Peak'... (HOP) I seem to remember reading it in a Trace Elliot Brochure back in the 80's...

It's what scratchplates were invented for... to cover scratches made during routing...

Back for a replacement... not a fix.

@Strawbs664 ^ So Good!... Great Find... Thanks for sharing!

Mc Donalds Straw solves these problems... Cut in half, half each...

'Top Flight' Prestige Ibanez?

Amp... i'd see what is local to you on gumtree.

I'd love to see a Lemmy / King Bass-Off!

Thats the Hardtail single bucker i was on about earlier...

Link error... No not me... spotted on Gumtree in Southampton. I've made a 'ATTN: Southampton' post. Too far for me unfortunately.

Certainly looks that way... 2x caps and a resister in the sleeve... https://www.bestbassgear.com/ebass/gear/electronics/greasebucket-circuit-removal-mod-for-fender-american-special-jazz-bass.html

Anything stamped or moulded in the cover... Artec? Alnicos from lack of bar magnet at the bottom.

Any one in or near Southampton? P Body (PJ) and Tele Head Neck... 'kin steal @ £60!.. Too far for me... https://www.gumtree.com/p/guitar-instrument/bass-guitar-project-/1441665040

Shame... i was looking at it some time before @tauzero posted... A 'Buff Orpington' i think...

Anyone get this? I got outbid right at the close.

IIRC quite a few Russian guitars used the 5 Pin DIN connector, with on board switches for amp settings selection, channel reverb etc. Quite a good idea if standards are adhered to. Maybe it was for paired Guitar and Amp from the same manufacturer. I think the Muse guitarist has on board effects or switches, to operate so not tied to one place on stage...

I Didn't mean that... just that the basic trem is just that... and tune one string and as you go thru the others the tension will change and go out of tune - chasing ya tail a little - could be frustrating for a beginner who wants to get on and see results for encouragement... Flatter neck, shorter scale, slightly lower tension, all may help on a LP type. My ebay cheapy Epi LP with trem (what were they thinking!) blocked with a bit of wood in the back.. and wearing flats.
