Because it was cheap, the bass in question hadn't arrived and I took a punt. 100% my risk to take. At £20 for the bridge, I'd happily take a similar punt in a similar scenario. I'm not going to loose money or sleep over it!

Well, it's all now pointless as the screw holes on the Cort A6 don't quite align with the holes on this bridge, so I can't use it as I'm not willing to re-drill the Cort. The holes are far enough apart to not fit, but close enough that re-drilling would just widen the existing holes... So, anyone want a bridge! 😆

It arrived this afternoon. It's immaculate, unused, boxed with original screws, Allan keys and instructions. Might donate it to a museum! 😆

That's a Schaller Strap Lock Button. Can pick up a pair for about a tenner online.

An animal like a dog, but worse, and to be called a cat.

I was the one talking to you on eBay! Shame the head sold without the cab, I'd have taken both quite happily when coming to Cardiff this month.

Roger (Mr THG Knobs) did some absolutely outstanding work on Binky (my 10 string bass) during its build. He did the truss rod cover, the knobs and the tuners. That was 20 years ago but the truss cover is still on his website.

Chairman Meow. You know it'll sit above you and judge you silently as you create...

I assume he didn't want to be swamped by a million "I told you so's".

THG Knobs by any chance?

Bought a Cort A6 from eBay the other day, it has a single non-original bridge saddle... I was looking for a Hipshot replacement but with shipping they are not cheap! So, scouring eBay I found a Wilkinson USA Multi-Adjustable Bass Bridge that I got for a mere £20. Seems like a good deal... It looks robust, from the late 80's I believe? Anyone got any experience with these? Are they decent? Have I just thrown away £20?

Don't lie... you're clearly breeding those mechanical spider things from War Of The Worlds and this is a baby one that accidentally got photographed in the reflection of your mirrored scratch plate. This is exactly the reason why I don’t have mirrored scratch plates.

I'm aspiring to one day become 1/16th decent.

Constructed with the cheapest possible parts... Definitely a sub £100 Glarry bass with the body butchered to look like a fish with a giant metal schlong. Approximate value: negative a million.

I'm 22 years deep and am worse now than before I started... both as a general human and at playing bass.

It'd be logistically easier to deliver a planet.

They're often not terrible to be fair. Ive had a few Chibsons over the years and most have been perfectly decent players - some easily at Epiphone Les Paul level. The ones with set necks and the binding over the fret ends are the best IMO. Most convincing too if you want to be convincing. Good luck sir, hopefully you'll get a good'un!

Keep your eye on eBay... I picked up a proper German LX6 for £500 earlier this year.

Doesn't let you get past the shipping page...

For £400 it is cheap no matter how you slice it. They are tone monsters, and if it only sits in my studio woth occasional use then thats fine! These are basically British made Mesa Strategy Eight:88 amps. You'd not get one of those second hand, with cab, for less than £1800-£2000 even with them being just as 'outdated' in every way these allegedly are!

Henceforth known as the Pyjama bass
