    POS ? Gosh.
  2. drlargepants
    You got the screws ?
  3. drlargepants
    Sounds painful.
  4. drlargepants
    I know. If only someone was selling one.

    That’s something way beyond my skills, however it’s something I can get done easily enough. Basically I’m aiming for this at less than a third of the price: https://www.coda-music.com/bass-guitars/fender-custom-shop-1969-closet-classic-precision-bass-3-colour-sunburst-cz535282.html

    Another question would be, how do you get the finish to show more of a tint ? Leave it in the sun ?! I suspect this is a bad idea !!!
  7. drlargepants
    It needs the nut doing also as it’s not got any slots on it, so I’ll probably get someone who does this sort of thing for a living to sort it. I’m over the moon about getting one (at a really very good price), the world is now my lobster 😉

    It should be an issue making it four bolt should it ? Worst case plugging the existing holes nearest the fretboard ? Im not bothered about the microtilt

    I wonder if this would fit on @Bridgehouse‘s P 😉

    Wow !
  11. drlargepants
    Is that ebony ?

    As you can see it’s missing some rather important bits, but I’m really excited about this none the less. Its a 3 bolt which complicates things slightly, but I’m looking forward to months of scouring for bit on here to make a rather lovley BITSA Bass !

    Sorry no, 5 strings aren’t my bag, but thank you.
  14. drlargepants

  15. drlargepants
    It’s also stunning!

    Lol 😆 Note to prospective buyers, the bridge is not made from a naughty donkey

    Despite me completely forgetting that Francis was travelling up to collect some Tanoy speakers from me, and Francis having to deal with my flustered partner and two frenzied young children, he remained calm and polite throughout. Many thanks for your understanding Francis and apologies for my brain ! Deal with confidence !

    Very lite body apparently
  20. drlargepants
    They are All Parts necks I believe.

    I need that Olympic White Jazz in my life 😉
  22. drlargepants
    Nut looks ok tbh, so hopefully it’s just the bridge that needs a shave
  23. drlargepants
    That’s what I thought. You should struggle to get a pound coin under it based on their specs. Might just be a high saddle I guess, hopefully it’s not that the neck angle is on the lash The perils of buying blind!
  24. drlargepants
    That’s a £1 coin btw

    I know this is somewhat subjective, but the action looks (and feels) way high on this. Anything other than the cowboy chords seems really hard work. What does the panel think ? Action at nut seems ok, relief is fine, and neck angle to my limited knowledge looks about right. Intonation is off also on the low E and A strings, which would be a symptom of high action yes ? A slight disclaimer though is that I haven’t played guitar in years, and especially not an acoustic, if this is normal I’m giving up now lol !
