    Interesting thread, some good points made about buying and selling. Lots of evidence of human traits re slight exaggerations and assumptions. But we are all human (well I am) and to be human is to err. It don't make you the Devil incarnate! No way should we lock threads just because they become contentious imo. It prevents all this relatively minor stuff, usually centered around misunderstanding, from being sorted. Handbags at dawn? Why not Peter

    Business card thickness is good but I got a bigger bit of card and used my thumb to crease the shape of the pocket onto the card before cutting it out so that it neatly fills the whole pocket. I cut the holes with nail scissors after marking them out in the same way. It's a bit more secure than a business card though maybe not quite as cool Peter

    I had a similar problem with the 201 on my Warmoth P and the Badass II on my Allparts J. The neck pocket on both has a shim of thick card over the whole area just to raise the neck a touch paralell to the body, not to angle it. It's worked beautifully well on both and isn't noticeable if done neatly. Peter

    Nice one! Great bassline too, as has been said combines rhythm and melody well. How's the Bass Collection? Peter

    Nope, not a sin. Putting the Minty green pickguard back on may be though

    Seems reasonable to me, especially as you explained this to the other party before they set off. Peter

    Tis most strange indeed. The BG is as we all know a great bass. The Villex pups are excellent and the Tone booster does an excellent job of, well, boosting the tone. I've heard this bass in a live situation as a member of the audience and it sounded superb. If it wasn't for my Warmoth ACG I'd still be the proud owner. Hey ho! Peter

    I know on this and many other forums folk are always going/ranting on about 'what winds me up, makes me angry, pisses me off' etc. Nobody can make you angry. You have a choice. If you just react without thinking you're disempowering yourself. And that really pisses me off.

    [quote]You could always use one of the hipshot or Gotoh drop in replacements as alternatives to the BadAssII.[/quote] The Gotoh 201 is a drop in replacement but I don't think that Hipshot do a 5 hole replacement bridge (I searched recently while ordering some Hipshot gear for my Warmoth, ended up with a Gotoh). +1 on Wizards.

    Another bump and adding that if anyone has a nice earlier Warwick NT Thumb 4 and they're looking for a mint Jazz deluxe give me a pm. Peter

    I can't find the link so don't know what you're looking at in terms of condition and cost. I've got one for sale in the for sale section, neck dive sorted too if you're interested, and it's shiny black. Never been rogered by an Entwistle as far as I'm aware. Peter

    Bump at £800

    I got my defunkt Jazz deluxe back today all working fine. I suspect they fitted a new pre. [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=15584&hl=jazz+deluxe"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=...;hl=jazz+deluxe[/url] I noticed the hardcase is new and unlike the old one it opens and closes without the common Fender 'crunch' where these cases get bent along the hinge side. So they've noticed the case was imperfect and replaced it! I checked the accessories drawer and they've put 2 new Duracell batteries in and a set of strings. Bloody brilliant. It's now up for sale again. Peter

    The Jazz is all sorted and is back on the market. Peter

    Is it possible that the bridge earth has come adrift somewhere? Maybe put a wire from earth on a pot to the bridge and see if the hum goes? Peter

    A real improvement, now all you need is a maple fretboard!
  21. GreeneKing
    Mmmmmm... So that's what the top horn is for

    [quote]Hello, welcome to the Basschat community, tell us a bit about yourself and stick around and join in! I reckon the price is good for a mint example available now, so best of luck.[/quote] +1

    [quote]t's a nonsense not to be able to debate the value of a bass on this Forum.[/quote] In your opinion? Maybe it's polite to pm in the 1st instance. It's not about debating the value of a bass on the forum, it's about someone trying to sell a bass in the for sale section and sometimes negative (or even positive) and open comments are misinformed. To give an example, if I pm someone because I think someone is overpricing something they have a chance to justify their price to me before their sale gets 'pissed all over'. It's just about giving seller a chance to respond without trashing their sale, just polite (and apparently in accordance with the 'guidelines). Peter

    Well as the original owner/creator (?) of this great bass I'm glad it's stuck and someone is appreciating it's 'Villexness'. Peter

    Hiya Edd You could always give Nick Carey a ring re a lesson. He's on here someplace and I've heard very good. Peter
