Do you have a picture of yours with the stripped neck? I've got a USA SUB in white and have often found the painted neck to get a bit questionable after a long gig. It's definitely not leaving the collection so not afraid to mod it but would be interesting to hear/see the process/result!

Aye took me a good minute to find the right spot for it. For some reason when I took the neck off to touch up the truss rod, upon putting it back the intonation specifically on the E was right out. All the other strings were note perfect still! The nut is perfectly fine, no catching, plenty of winds on the string, neck relief ideal and the action in the right spot, it just needed pulling much further forward than I anticipated to get it intonated at the 12th and across the board. Not sure why, but if it works it works! If anyone more savvy than me has additional info as to why only the E would be out of intonation like that, do let me know.

Aye I nearly bought the black one when I saw it, let it get away and this came up so I knew I couldn't let it slip by! The painted neck feels absolutely fine to be honest, somewhere between a satin and gloss finish, though it's possible once I run it at a full gig I might change my mind. I do have another bass with a painted neck and that doesn't bother me, but I know many people get really turned off by it.

Wouldn't generally be mine either but I've recently joined a Funk band and this screamed Larry Graham so figured it had to be done! Just need the sequin guitar strap and I think I'm there, got the bass face down.

There were customs charges unfortunately yes, came to 20% so if you did order you essentially need consider that in as a part of the package price. Still came out to cheaper than an MIM Fender these days, so I wasn't too fussed and Danny gave me quality estimate charges and made me clear and aware of everything. He was a pleasure to deal with for sure.

Purchased from Danny at Bass Japan Direct and waylaid in Germany due to labour strikes, this arrived safe and sound on my doorstep this morning. It's all original and the date is a close approximation, as with these sorts of instruments. It's somewhere between 83-85 based on the serial number. Small amount of setup required given it's week and change trotting the globe, and the low E intonation took some dialing in, but playing beautifully now at 1.75mm (as is my preference) and the pickups sound superb. It's perhaps a little difficult to spot in the photos, but there's a lovely sun tan effect that's happened on the headstock and neck, sending the white into a more cream colour. Definitely got the played-in feel that you'd expect something pushing 40 to have. I'm mostly just sad at how played-in I feel at only 30 😂

Purchased a Darkglass Vintage Ultra pedal from Mick this weekend just gone. Concise and straightforward communication, product exactly as advertised and well-packaged for transit. Pleasure to deal with, would recommend! Cheers Paul

Purchased an MXR compressor pedal off Will. He was kind enough to meet me halfway at a particularly characterful location, had a pleasant chat and did the deal. Works like a charm and had it's first live run out that very same night. Deal with confidence.

Purchased a Hipshot BT1 Bass Xtender Tuning Key from Fettsman today. Painless and friendly transaction, even had a nice chat and a quality cup of tea, no complaints here!
