Nice one, enjoy!

 

When I saw the title, I was expecting to see the ACG that's being sold on Gumtree right now in Kemnay...

That one is a really good buy for someone.

Looks great! What top wood is that?

 

I have the same pickup arrangement

I believe it’s called white limba.

Very nice indeed.  Is that the one from Will?

It is. Well spotted.👍

I am well chuffed to have taken delivery of this ACG Graft 4 today. 
 

Very nice bass. I’m sure it would attract more interest if it was available for shipping.

I’m trying to find out if my old Musicman SUB 4 is still out there somewhere. If you know anything please get in touch. Here’s the pics with the serial number X08353

If it's the 2004 Jazz, the information provided is in the spiel about the bass.

I know that. The info I offered was the luthier that changed the fretboard, why it was changed and the significance of the inlay. I also included before and after photos. I thought all of this info would be appreciated by the new owner. However, as I say I wish I hadn’t bothered and I will take this thread as a learning curve. Sorry for taking up bandwidth unnecessarily.

I’m sorry I bothered. If I could delete the post I would. I was just concerned that’s all. I was in fact providing information on a bass currently for sale on Bass Bros that I had once owned. The info was all part of the history of the bass that had been converted from fretted to fretless by having the board changed. I thought that history was meant to help sell a bass and that sellers and new owners wanted provenance. But hey, I won’t do that again.

If in doubt get on the phone! I missed out on a bit of a dream bass because I’d emailed.

I’m not actually buying a bass.

So sad to hear this news. I did business with Nick and exchanged messages over the years. A great ambassador for Basschat and all things low end. Rest easy my friend.

I pointed at that thread because it contains a number of similar events to yours.

Ok. I just need a bit of patience.

I’m not doubting the service given by Bass Bros. I’m merely enquiring if anyone knows if there is a reason why I haven’t had a response from last week? I also have received good service in the past. This post is not intended as a criticism.

Does anyone know if everything is ok at Bass Bros. I sent three messages including an email over the last three days and haven’t had a response.

Should work OK through the effects loop, yeah.  Either that or stick it between the wireless receiver and the amp input, as if the wireless setup was a cable.

Thanks Matt. I am electronically challenged.👍

I have been gifted a wireless setup and am

liking it. My question is I want to use my Boss TU-2. I don’t use any other pedals and wondered can I connect the TU-2 in the effects loop of the amp. Will it work whilst I continue to use my wireless setup.

When you say your location is North East is that England or Scotland?

The might get the fancy cases but do they get the adoration?

I’m afraid they do cases or not. 😂

For those of you who like cases I have a question. Why do the guitarists get all the cool colours for their Fenders. They get denim, navy blue, red, surf green, wavy checkerboard, and pink. We get pink - that's it just pink. I have a surf green American original 60s precision. How cool would it be to have a surf green case to match. So why do the guitarists get all the colours and we don't. It's time to petition Fender for an answer to this question and to chain ourselves to the railing until we get satisfaction. 

2004 Fender American Standard Jazz bass with S1 switch.

Great replies for which I am very grateful. This has to be the best forum on the internet. No question is ever treated as irrelevant and no member is made to feel

stupid. I love this community.

I wouldn’t have thought a few thousandths of an inch would be a particularly big issue. I restrung my Rob Allen 5 string E-C once and it didn’t need any adjustment and there was about a 0.025 difference there (changed it back as I didn’t like it particularly). Try it and see.

Thanks man!👍

I have just purchased a Jazz bass which is strung with 50-105 gauge strings. I want to fit my preferred strings (TI flats) which are 43 - 100. Is it going to be likely that I will need a new nut?

Aw, that’s too bad. My wife and I live in Aberdeen but we’re travelling south for a family get together this coming Friday. Have a great time gigging in Scotland.

A couple of mine ready to be loaded on the gear van to be driven up to Scotland for some dates next week..

Much prefer these cases with the ‘over rider’ bumpers to the plain ones, I lost a couple of feet & had a cracked case due to the crews handling, the last time we went north of the boarder..

I want an Enki case but have been over-ruled by Mrs Bassman 😄

Where are you playing up here?
