I love the worn pebbled body and neck of the Ibby SR's but... just want a plain passive P. So after years of going on about it, I decided to do something about. Ebay ad by Gear4Music for a SR300 with faulty electrics, Spares or Repair. Body/Neck/Bridge/Tuners Sorted... Pots Ordered and some Adagio Flats. Scratches on the body, with a few cracks. I was hoping this was just on the finish, but after a few hours of heat gun stripping (more to come tommorow...) shows some surface cracks. Hopefully all will be OK. Neck is OK, Sanded and Furniture Waxed the back, Polished the Frets and Cleaned and Lemon Oiled the fretboard. Got to sand off the headstock finish. Wish i weighed the Body before stripping! sealer or filler is real thick in places, and really taken hold of the mahogany, so a few digs, and some possibly already there and filled. Plan is get the pickup cavities filled, and re routed for the Single P with the extra EQ holes 'doweled' - Calling Basschaters! Finish is going to be plain wax, maybe a light coat of thinned Danish Oil if this will help with the surface cracks.

@Bassassin looking with older eyes... The Washburn is a bit if class... The Aria is a bit of a pose...

Nurse... Frank is out of bed again...

Damn 'n blast... if it aint gumtree its bloody ebay... All that @gafbass02 fault with his SR500 revamp... So 'another' Ibby SR incoming... this one is a fixy-upper ripe for mods keep me out of trouble project jobbie... Loves the SR's me.

^ Did they record it? Could of been the intro to side 3 of the next concept album... 'Lockness Monster meets the Kraken'

Right Angled Pancake Jack... I like these... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/363103213608?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=cfd2afids2e&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=daj_hJ6fSo-&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY And maybe one of these...

Does the Katana have a Simulated Speaker Line Out or DI?... If they don't wish to mike... If thats the only real issue, as mentioned, buddy the sound person.

They look like 'devices' you would use on ya Mrs...

Mmm e-bow and fretless... wiv a phaser and wah wah... sounds like a plan!

I think the B1on (or B1 Four) would be more useful and flexible than the MS60B for hobby and a learning bass player... No?

Zoom B1on... Just the ticket! Bargain...

Hi... And with that you can also join the 'Ibanez' and 'Black Bass' threads... Warning... stay away from the DOI thread... they are not right in the head!

Ty-phoooooooo?

Used Spaldings for quality A2 stainless saddle screws on a few bridges. I Usually go for Dog Point. You might want flat point for the spacing locking screw. Pitch would be standard... and likely to be metric. Rub some soft pencil lead on the threads and run em in and out. Got any pics? Saddle height screws or Intonation? Not likely to be 'fine' which only become available at a larger size thread...

'tis... (was...) an Aria Pro II Magna

If Mad Max played DB...

Bicarb... For the case... sprinkle... leave... vac.

I think the Q is does you want to split for a J...

How about one of those Joyo Orange Juice... or the Front of House (FOH) Cab Sim DI thingies... Behringer BDI... £25 @ Andertons...

Had a Fender Katana Guitar back in the day. Set neck and Gibson scale length.

Wilko on BBC4

Unlined look so cool... he idealy wants 2 octave... Harley Benton B-450FL is looking like a contender... He likes a 'lead bass' higher strings and up the fretboard sound so might consider a 5 tuned EADGC for fun!
