As you can see your face in the neck it is very difficult to get a good picture. The joint is slightly visible in some places but it was a clean crack, (ie a failure of the original glue). As it is an Acrylic finish, Steve did not want to risk touching the area up as it could have ruined the rest of the finish. Obviously it does not affect the playability at all.

[quote name='noelk27' post='287959' date='Sep 20 2008, 01:08 PM']I have to say I'm quite interested - I've been thinking about getting something hollow-body, 6-string (non bass). Can you show the repair a little more clearly?[/quote] Hi Noel, I will try and get a better pic of it. None that i have taken show it up very well, but then again it is a good repair.

I bought this about 3 years ago just before switching to bass. It came with a cracked scarf joint but Steve Robinson, (Manchester Guitartech), repaired it and did a beautiful set-up for me. He also pointed out it was a common occurrence but "will not happen again" after he fixed it. I have never really played it as I switched to Bass not long after the purchase. I have tried various forums and cannot get much info on it. It is undoubtedly post-Matsumoku and judging by the serial number was made in 1990. Twin Humbuckers, 2 Vol and 2 Tone controls and pick-up selector switch. All gold plated hardware and superb binding. It is in outstanding condition with one barely visible Buckle Rash mark on the rear. One of the bands I play in has a pro guitarist and I got him to "road test" it for me recently. He did this during the set break but was that impressed he kept it on for most of the second set and he normally plays a Les Paul. He couldn't believe it was a 20 year old guitar. It is an appreciating asset and I am selling it for what it cost me. It comes with a brand new fitted case. £195 There is another thread on the site about this guitar when I was trying to find some info about it, but I can't trace it unfortunately.

[quote name='thebeat' post='287719' date='Sep 19 2008, 10:19 PM']Pics were taken when i was trying out the Bad Ass on the Highway 1. Just realised that i do have some circumstantial evidence that this is a MIA body....American P Bass pickguards fit right on...mexican ones have the screw holes in different places and don't.[/quote] That is not quite true. I fitted a new US pickguard onto a Chrome Red MIM P-Bass and it fitted perfectly. I think you will find the MIM basses, (Precision and Jazz) built in the last 5 or so years are pretty much identical in the hardware department fixings.

You never know. If someone is heading that way they could help with the swap.

[quote name='Sean.Robinson' post='283425' date='Sep 13 2008, 11:37 PM']Hi, thanks for the replys, also anyone with a brown tortoise pickguard?[/quote] Try Highly Strung. Fantastic quality and really cheap at the moment. Cheaper than 2nd Hand [url="http://www.highlystrung.co.uk/acatalog/Pickguards__electric_guitar.html"]http://www.highlystrung.co.uk/acatalog/Pic...ric_guitar.html[/url]

Week-end Bump to include Amp Trade details.

+3 For Interparcel. The first consignment I arranged pick-up of a mixer from London as the seller wanted £20 for delivery. Interparcel charged me £12.50 and included £100 insurance. The mixer was really badly packed but got to me in one piece. Consignment 2 was a Bass and Case I sent to a fellow BassChatter in Scotland. No problems and £23.50 including £500 insurance. The final delivery really tested Interparcel's Customer Service. I booked through the web and chose a DHL service. Everything went through fine until on the day of collection DHL phoned to tell me the pick-up time I selected was after their pick-up time for the area. I tried to explain that the time I "selected" was the only one available. They agreed to collect the next day, which didn't really bother me, but decided to let Interparcel know that there was a problem with their booking system as it only offered me a 2:30 - 4:30 pick-up slot and DHL's cutt-off for my area was 10:00AM, A polite, "could you hang on a moment" resulted in them offering to change the order to TNT and it would be picked up later in the afternoon, which it was. The package was delivered at 8:06 the following morning. Cannot fault them. Great web-site and really good Customer Service.

Un choque medio de semana

[quote name='Born 2B Mild' post='272596' date='Aug 29 2008, 02:48 PM']I know you don't do 4s particularly BB, but how about a swap for an electro-acoustic Washburn AB10, or a swap for my Six-string XB-600? I'm even in Swinton this Sunday![/quote] Unfortunately I don't really want anymore "incomings". I am prunning both the bass and Guitar collection but thanks for the offer.
