    [quote name='tonyxtiger' timestamp='1407175539' post='2518087'] I also think flea is awful but I'm ready for lots of people to correct me on that one. [/quote] Nope, totally with you there! [quote name='Number6' timestamp='1407182621' post='2518183'] What about some Hawkwind or Marillion? (Spoken in the voice of Neal from the Young Ones) [/quote] So Lemmy's a dame? That explains a great deal....... NB: am I the only one to have never heard of the Pixies?

    Jeez, I wish you'd stop listing such lovely gear Si - guitarist in my very first (school) band in '77 had one of these, so to me this is what a Strat "should" look like..... - bump

    Schaller chrome 3-D bridge for 4-string, with dedicated spacer plate to raise height, also with screws, almost like new, £35 posted. NOW £30. *SOLD pending usual* Fantastic bridges, configurable in every plane

    6. Thumb-rest for P bass in black plastic with screws, brand new, £4 posted
  10. Shaggy
    5. Machine-head ferrules, brand new genuine Fender, chrome, for P or J “elephant ear” tuners (came with set of ’75 RI) £5 posted

    4. Heavy “keyhole” bridge/tailpiece, Jap late ‘70’s/early ‘80’s, really thick chromed base-plate with massive solid brass keyhole saddles, fully adjustable. Note that this is for thru-body stringing and the holes through the baseplate are staggered to allow for differential intonation. Great for a project and cost me £25 to import from the US - £17 posted
  12. Shaggy
    3. High mass bridge, chromed, direct Fender-fit; unsure of make but nicely chunky, and tailpiece section fully hides ball-end of strings £10 posted *SOLD*

    Having a clearout of some unused project parts: 1. Jazz bass tort pickguard, brand new (protective film still on front surface), 3-ply tort/W/B, celluloid top layer. Unsure which model it’s for, ask for any measurements; no holes for thumb-rest or pickup cover. £6 posted. *SOLD*

    [quote name='umcoo' timestamp='1406990445' post='2516487'] They come and go on ebay, but they have an actual web-shop too. http://www.customworldguitarparts.com/default/gitaar-halzen/jazz-bass-maple-neck-20-frets-pearl-block-inlay-with-binding.html The shop seems slightly cheaper than ebay too [/quote] That's the one, cheers! I did wonder whether you could put a bullet truss rod adjuster on those: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TRUSSROD-NUT-BULLET-CHROME-FOR-FENDER-GUITARS-/351118760252?pt=UK_Guitar_Accessories&hash=item51c04f193c as it looks plain wrong like that

    [quote name='umcoo' timestamp='1406931497' post='2516112'] Custom world guitar parts do one. Theyre in the Netherlands. Never seen one, but pictures look good [/quote] I was looking for exactly the same thing for my build last month, and nearly pulled the trigger on one of these on their eBay listing - they seem not to be listing at the moment. Looked excellent, other than non-authentically having a separate board. Worked out around £100 incl shipping, so comparable to Mighty Mite (who only do dot markers?) If you could live with rosewood these look good value: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/20-Fret-Jazz-J-Bass-Guitar-Neck-Vintage-Maple-Rosewood-with-Skunk-Stripe-/261511242840?pt=UK_Collectables_Vintage_RL&hash=item3ce348e458 I ended up shelling out a fair bit more for a genuine '78 Fender neck from the States in maple / pearl blocks - still worked out cheaper than a new '75 RI neck from Stratosphere (going on a AVRI '75 body)

    Should have kept - 1980's Graham Crook custom fretless 4 - rather like a neck-thru Wal. Lovely, unique, sold for a pittance Well shot of - Columbus Jazz copy (2nd bass), a dog even by cheap plywood-bodied bass standards. I fitted a '60's Gibson mudbucker by the neck which must have increased its value by several factors of magnitude, had I but known. Swapped for a bike, which I crashed

    Used to be mine - rare and awesomely lovely and muscular amp, basically the power section of an SVT-2 with an added presence control. Proper old-school valve power, but hi-fi clarity and warmth You can plug an active bass directly into it without needling a separate pre Now been in Wales for past 3 BC-er's - where next???
  21. Shaggy
    Hell of a great price for a great pedal....

    [quote name='JazzBassfreak' timestamp='1406320654' post='2510670'] I'm notorious on here for my dislike of P's. But that is beautiful. I really like the unique touch to headstock too. GLWTS [/quote] Lol - for almost my entire bass-playing career I've had a dislike of Jazz basses - probably and totally unfairly due to an early brush with a Columbus copy - but have recently been totally sold on them..... Many thanks for the good words, you have some fab basses there in your sig!
  23. Shaggy
    That Fernandes 'bic copy is astonishingly accurate; only really obvious difference is the rosewood board rather than ebony. Facings look like satinwood. Bump for a lovely brace of basses

    [quote name='ricksterphil' timestamp='1406312455' post='2510571'] Nice.....and tempting I've pm'd you my email addy, would you be able to email those pics? [/quote] PM replied to

    [quote name='BassBod' timestamp='1406236101' post='2509729'] Shaggy- you got a Series1!? Wow.... [/quote] Yup, a '76 long-scale - sadly my GAS has always outweighed my talent.......
