Went for £385 in the end... not too bad but lower than it would have been a year ago.

Pffft - told you they were ropey .

Where is it snapping ?

Warwick (German), Spector (Euro models are Czech made)...umm..Sandberg (German), Vigier (French). Those are the main ones I think, most of the others I can think of are custom jobbies. If you're including UK then you can chuck in Status..

If only EBMM would bring these sparkle colours back out...

I really fancy trying out one of these OLP 22/32's... they look great value.

For me it's pickups, EQ and then strings.

You should be able to run another cab with that. I think best option for you would be a MAG210 cab, essentially what you have already without the head in it. What bass do you have ? For slap on that i'd boost the high mids and treble to about 2/3rds and change the bass to suit, leaving the rest flat. The bass and treble boost will probably bring a lot of sound out too, i'd turn them on.

1.58mm aka 1/16". Find yourself an imperial sized key and that'll sort it out. As for the truss rod, anything that will fit will do - try adjusting the action via that first as that's all I ever need to do.

I liked mine when I had it, but it did unfortunately have neck issues. Sounded great but was only just playable..

You'll get on well with ped .

I'd reply with something I couldn't repeat on here .

Choosing higher gauge strings will allow you to lower the tuning without losing as much tension on them. This means you should get less string buzz and it should sound better ! Try getting 55-110

Reserve not met - it isn't a bargain yet .

Just so utterly pointless..

I've got a MIM Jazz i'm not happy with and to be honest just want to shift and get something else. I don't think it's worth dumping any money into them as you usually don't get much of that investment back if you sell it on. Things I dislike with mine are unbalanced pickup output (loud G string and slightly farty neck pickup), plus it needs more defined sounding pickups, but i'm reluctant so spend any cash on it when it might still not be what I want (Jazzes may just not be for me).

I had an MC900 with a bit of a dodgy neck, still managed to swap it to the equivalent of £600.
