    Nicely put Walshy 👍
  2. Beedster
    Nice looking bass, what’s the circuitry?
  3. Beedster
    Others would disagree on all of those points 👍
  4. Beedster
    Yep

    Letts v2

    f***ing clever marketing strategy, they keep releasing the same two basses, we keep buying them 👍
  7. Beedster
    And you were so close as well, had you replied just 18-years sooner you might have nabbed it 👍
  8. Beedster
    ….which is exactly what I thought when I read the first post. I think the reality is other bass players might currently be committing money to a luthier who might be about to go Full Letts….

    Used but 9/10 condition Allparts Jazz neck that came attached to a bass that's since had a different neck installed, Jazz necks not really being my thing despite the fact that this one is VERY pretty! Previous owner applied a Fender logo. Couple of small dinks in the headstock, a slight but not functionally significant chip in the nut, and a slightly messy screw hole at the heel (all photo'd), but nothing to write home about and otherwise a rather nice neck that retails around £450 without nut or tuners. I rate Allparts necks as the same league in quality and playability as good US Fenders - not quite as good as the FCS standard of Warmoth, but significantly better than for example MIM and Mighty Mite. No idea re the tuners BTW, they do the job but I doubt they're Gotoh/Hipshot/Schaller level. Price includes insured UK courier

    Thanks Andy, much appreciated 👍

    Hey Andy, hope all's well mate, do you know if the pocket is standard Fender fit (albeit with staggered screw positioning)? I quite fancy trying that PUP combination with an FL?
  12. Beedster
    That's a luxury hotel (albeit one with high security) for a bass 👍

    Lovely upright playing 👍

    ….but of course, if you could get the same from that £454.80 amp you would… Which is why it still makes more sense to repair it than to buy the cheaper option. And the great thing about many tube amps is that you’ll be able to keep doing so, not always the case with solid state 👍 Owning a big tube amp’s a bit like owning a big dog, you might get lucky with the vet’s bills, but you probably won’t 🤔

    Pretty much sums up where I am also 👍

    We might have to have a chat about the Shuker Tony, I've missed it......
  18. Beedster
    ....which, I guess, is one reason DAWs were invented

    Hey Tony, I hope that's a decision that works for you, and that's it's less a farewell and more an au-revoir. Either way, please keep sharing your knowledge and experience here, BC wouldn't be the same without you mate 🙏

    Very tempted Chris, doing some homework on scale lengths and body size. Assume 38mm nut?
  22. Beedster
    I’ve sold guitars, mandolins, fiddles, audio gear, hifi, computers, sports gear, sunglasses, use the ‘Musically Related Items’ or Sell Anything forums 👍
  23. Beedster
    These days BC only, Reverb’s a bit weak on processes that can be unpleasant if a case emerges, although it’s worse for buyers than sellers TBH, and eBay’s getting silly (eg new terms re couriers). BC remains the best option, especially for niche gear, I’ve had a couple of people join the forum specifically to buy stuff I’ve listed having found it in google searches.

    Can't help but agree with the above. If the builder has pushed back - which assuming the photos and description are reliable is pretty much indefensible - it might be worth naming them, it not only puts pressure on them but allows them to state their case here should they wish to do so..... But looking at the photos on my desktop as opposed to on my phone earlier, even if that was a £250 Squier I'd have sent it back, when you pay for a new instrument at any price point it should be exactly that, new

    If the electronics don’t work 100%, and irrespective of any other issues, it goes back. Re other issues however, it looks like a used bass 😕
