Can I just say a massive thank you to @drlargepantsfor the body that just arrived, it’s perfect and I am really grateful

Jon

Even so it just seems a pretty tight way to behave. If you put a nice new bridge on you want nice new shiny screws. They are great bridges, my P bass bridge of choice. I’m actually in need of one so I might be in touch 

Jon

Don’t come with screws though. Crazy

Jon

Thanks for mention ☝️☝️☝️☝️☝️ @TheGreek

Jon

Does anyone have any recommendations for a brighter sounding pickup upgrade for his bass of mine?

Thanks

Jon

A huge thank you to @leschirons for the strat that turned up today. With a bit of work that will be perfect. 
 

Jon

Sorry was thinking of the other body ☝️☝️☝️☝️☝️☝️☝️☝️☝️☝️☝️☝️☝️☝️☝️☝️

I’m going to have to sell the bass as a whole Jon as the body alone isn’t shifting.

It does mean I’ll have to use the neck I was going to donate to you on the body I’ve just bought. Sorry dude. I guess the market decides. 
cheers. 

Totally understand John. I’ve even thought about buying it myself for the charity thing as the hardware alone is worth the £60 you are asking and that’s posted??????

Jon

You couldn’t buy the hardware for that never mind with the body thrown in. 
 

Jon

Can’t believe this hasn’t gone. Really want it myself but finances won’t allow

Jon

Huge thanks to @inthedoghouse for the body that arrived today. I can’t say how grateful I am

@Useless amateur

Appreciate you thinking of me but it’s way above my budget. Plus it’s too good for what I want

Jon

That is perfect. Really grateful. Let me know what you want to do. 
 

Many many thanks

I'll have a look in me boxes. Might have an Encore Strat in a shed somewhere.

 

 

That would be amazing. Thanks

Jon

A big thank you to @whizzzyfor the neck. I couldn’t do this without all the donations

Jon

With thanks to @jezzaboy @Velarian @oldslapper @NHM  @casapete  @steve-bbb  @Nicko Thanks to all your donations I have 2 all ready to be wired up and fitted with the strings. I can’t do this without you so a huge thanks from me and all the kids who benefit. 
 

Jon

Big thanks to @Velarianfor the body that arrived today. You are all so generous and all the effort and generosity is much appreciated 

Jon

A massive thank you to @jezzaboyfor the stuff that arrived today, that is a massive massive help. 
 

Thanks again to all of you

Jon

@NHMThank you so much. It will all go to use and I am really grateful 

Jon

Could whoever sent this pack of stuff please lay claim to it so I can properly say thank you. All the kind and generous donations really are appreciated 

Jon

I am pretty sure I also have just had some strings from @casapeteso again many many thanks. 
 

Jon

Today I got the parcel from @steve-bbb. Again can I say many thanks. Every bit will be used whether it is this week or in a couple of years time 

Thank you

Jon

Can I just say a huge thank you to @oldslapperwho turned up yesterday with a few bits for me including a neck. Really do appreciate it

I'm happy enough to cover the cost of sending them, but I'm more worried about how to pack them.  I assume you want them as they are (ie whole) I'll take a look and PM you.  Might be a few days or more.

I am happy for them to be whole or in as few bits as you like as I can always put them back together if it makes life easier. Thanks so much to all of you for your generosity

I definitely have an old Tanglewood elecro/acoustic bowlback guitar (an Ovation copy).  The neck/body joint is damaged and the guitar is unplayabe but the neck might be salvageable.  I'm not sure how you could access the joint as there's no proper soundhole.  If not the machine heads/control knobs etc could be use for parts,

 

There may also be an old Rose Morris SG bass which is more or less complete although the pots/knobs have been modified.  If I still have it it's lurking in a crawl space in my loft. I'll know for sure if I get the above guitar out of the loft.

 

Not sure how I'd get these to you either unless someone here is passing both our doors.

 

 

Thanks very much. I’m happy to help out with courier costs if it’s not too much and if you think it’s worthwhile sending them and you are happy to pack them up. Or obviously if anyone is heading between us that would be perfect always assuming people wouldn’t mind helping. 
 

Again thanks for the kind offer

Jon
