Bought Anndra's BassPod XT Pro Excellent delivery (held item while I was away) and great kit! Thanks Peter

I sold Col my Allparts neck, he was a real pleasure to deal with. Peter

Yep funnily enough mine wasn't locked when I got it?? Luckily I did my intonation and discovered this before I changed to nickels Otherwise I'd of been the one doing the 'Xmas Cracker puzzle' as well.

Hmmm.. with respect to the above poster my Ric's sound great through a LMII. The amps fairly transparent so why wouldn't they? Aguilar GS112 cabs.

A Spector Euro NT for £500? Is it new? They are between £1000 and £1600 new - so buy it. I love my 4.

+1 on the Gary Willis site, very user friendly. Peter

I'll refrain from calling you a nice 'kid' as I'm an old git who realises it's a bit patronising Great bass, I've always lusted after an Alembic. Jeez just sometimes I wish I was young - sometimes

I'm seriously good. And seriously deluded

I did wonder at the time it takes to do all the photo's and comparisons etc and they didn't put a new set of strings on a bass (Mayones) to give it a fair assessment. It was interesting to see the Nordy do so well. The GB looked stunning too. I thought the GMR multi laminate neck thru made it the prettiest though. I do think it would have been interesting to put my old (as in mine no more) 5 string ACG Harlot up against them all. The ACG 01 pre-amp comparison alongside the more conventional pre's there would of proven fascinating and the price/quality and to me, ascetics would have been a very worthwhile comparison methinks.

Hmmm I recognise that photo. Use it whydoncha?

Hartke is where the Heart is. Who needs advertising executives Good to hear of other positive experiences with these amps. I'm must try putting the Sovtec back and doing a comparo with the Tung Sol Peter

That sounds good Martin, must give mine some more 'exercise'.

I've just had another noodle. It's funny how coming back to it gives a better impression sometimes. It's ace! Loads of mwaa, the stuff I've always looked for and never found. This neck is staying put Using just the bridge pup and getting honk + mwaa is where it's at.

pm'd in order of query

I was a little worried their would be (well spotted). The Warmoth extended fretboard just fits neatly over the pickguard though. Warmoth necks are very good. In fact so it the one that came off, its practically new.

This bass has been very much 'work in progress'. I bought it from Thumper and it was an Allparts bound and blocked neck on I think an Allparts body with overwound Lindy Fralins and the bridge pup in the 'take it to the bridge' position. I added an ACG02 Pre-amp and a BadassII to the beast and was very pleased with the result. Now I have a history of owning at least 4 fretless basses and I've not been happy with the tone of any of them. (It could be my playing that's the problem). I bought a Warmoth fretless neck from a fellow BCer with the intention of putting it on my Warmoth Darkstar body, but..... the Warmoth is so good I don't want to mess with it. So today I put the Warmoth neck on the Jazzbasstard and I'm very pleased with the sound indeed. It really doesn't look as nice though. So I now have a spare neck..... Peter

That's yummy Sarah, I love it. Too many strings for me. Didn't know you were from Essex too. Dagenham? Billericay? Peter

So Martin, you pleased?
