Bought another loom from John which arrived today, promptly and well packaged. Beautifully put together. Can't wait to implant it. Great communication as always. I'll be back! Thank you again John

Appreciate the input. I’m going to withdraw the set from sale and if I get the same issue with the E String I may resort to a spacer at the ball end. 🤞 -
Now I’m really confused! I tried the E string from another standard Long Scale set on a Hohner 34” P Bass copy. It ended up splitting / unravelling because it was getting wrapped around the peg. LaBella use the “wound length” (ball to silk) to measure their string lengths. I’ve just ordered a set of Mediums which come up as 34 and a quarter. I’m now thinking these may not actually work either.

Now withdrawn Please note - This set is for long scale basses and has a wound length of 36 ¾” (933 mm). The strings are too long for your standard 34” neck bass. Yours for £38 - includes UK postage

Love the matching bathroom scales ! Scratch that - that's the edge of the bass! I see that now 🙃 -

Thanks - In the end that’s more or less what I did. It’s an old bass and the neck is nicely aged and worn. I just flaked the worst of it off. And smoothed it down a little. It is naturally distressed, I’m just going to leave it as it is.

Brilliant - That's exactly the logo - thank you 👍

Sound advice Mr Fleabag, thanks. Yes that's probably the sensible route to go down - I quite lie the distressed logo but now you mention it, I'm not sure it would survive the acetone.

Hi, I'm looking for some advice on a headstock I'm trying to restore. I picked up a cheap old Hohner P Bass with a maple neck. It looks like it has been stored in a damp area and the headstock lacquer is cracked, and flaking off. The fretboard also has a lacquered finish and has a couple of small patches where the finish has lifted off. I could probably live with that. Any advice on how to remove the lacquer? In an ideal world I wanted to retain what's left of the decal. This would rule out sanding it down. I heard that acetone would remove the lacquer - after which I could re-apply a fresh layer or two? Any help gratefully received...
