    Funnily enough I have one of those too but I really don't think I could part with it.

    Understand. I had a chance of a 2024x once, but went in a different direction. I did the right thing for me, but wish I’d bought it as well ☺️

    I don’t know if I “met” a bad batch - but couldn’t believe how ropey the finishing was on the neck of these...felt unfinished (not as in “without finish” as in ‘someone’s not finished sanding that...’)

    There was a 4 & 5 string which felt the same.

    Although...the pickguard looks decent - the question is, would that Jackson pickguard fit on the charvel...

    Edit - Ah, 21 frets vs 20. Always makes more sense to me...

    I’ll be honest, I haven’t played one but I did hear the same thing as you just said about the feel of the necks, from a friend who had played one. It stopped me dropping the money on one. When I heard about the Charvel basses I did get a little excited as I know the guitars in this range, are amazing. Unfortunately, the colours aren’t to my taste, and I’d prefer a 21 fret, which as you say, just makes more sense. A pick guard would have been nice, as well. The Charvel necks do look lovely though.

    Oooooh, that top one in that gloss finish, but with the black hardware of the one below! That would look incredible. 

    Yeah, I agree. The matt finish is probably my 1st choice, though if they brought out the purple in a matt finish with black hardware, I’d be in real trouble 😂

    My singer lives in Oxford, I have family in Wales, so potential for a Basschat relay. 

    That is so very kind, and means a lot. I’d like to be able to check it over first, though. I know it’s for a project, but I just need to make sure there are no issues, which I’m sure there aren’t, of course ☺️🙏🏻

  5. If I could get to Abingdon, I’d buy this immediately. I’m after a project bass, and have been looking for a BB for a little while. As it doesn’t have a gig bag, case, or box I’d need to pick it up. If this is still here after the Wales lockdown, and we are allowed to travel, I will be in touch. Cheers and have a Happy New Year. 

  6. I very nearly bought a Squire Dimension bass off him. He was asking silly money but got it down to a reasonable price. He send he’d send it but I said that I have a good mate in Leicester who’d check it over for me, and if good, hand over the cash. 

    This is when his messages started getting shorter, and more cagey. He then came back with that his family have all tested positive for Covid (see attached image) and that it best I stay clear. Too bloody right. Looks like I had a lucky escape. How is he still getting away with this? Utter scum like this should be locked up. Unreal.......
