  1. Just bought some quarter pounder pick ups from Nick, pretty much immediately despatched, well packaged and in described condition. Cheers matey!
  2. Jaydee quoted £185 with a 6 month wait, which Im tempted with. The reason I want nitro is because it ages/relics through normal use which is what I like, where as poly (if looked after) won't.
  3. Sorry to pull this thread up again, just want one last shout out to see if anyone has used these guys before! Im on the verge of sending it to be done (just need to box up and send the dimensions to him etc). Overall quote is £310 for the lot.
  4. I live just over the road from the Gatehouse! Keep us posted in the gigs section of the forum and I'll bring a couple of mates along. Sounds like a bit of a disaster! I haven't actually, I tend to get most of my gear on here and strings etc online, will pop in a take a look next time Im up that end of town.
  5. I'd have this back in a split second if I had the money! Pete is a great guy to deal with too and knows how to look after his basses.
  6. Hi, The other day I was wiring some new pickups into my bass, I then went to test it (stupidly) through my rig and ... POP. The status light on the front panel is now flashing from red to green. The user manual does not specify what type of issue this warning represents. Before I take it to a tech, does anyone know what this could possibly be? Cheers. p.s all the tubes are still glowing.
  7. It doesn't look reliced! It just looks a mess lol! I guess I could get in contact with that guy and see if he can take my 'chop shop' and relic it properly from what I've done as I do like reliced basses. My problem is that it hold sentimental value so I don't really want to sell!
  8. Hi All, I'm after your usual good advice. I'm thinking of having my P bass refined after trying to 'relic' is like an absolute d***k head a couple of months ago. I originally went to Manchester Guitar Tech but he's booked up until into next year. He recomended Spectrum Guitar Finishes. I have received a quote of (including fitting of Seymour Duncan SPB-3) : To: completely strip old finish back to bare wood. £35.00 To: remove neck & all parts, wire in new pickup, refit parts etc. & carry out set up. £50.00 To: prepare & lacquer in 'Vintage White' nitro cellulose, flat & polish etc. £220.00 Other comments they have noted are: We are a U.K. company that has recently relocated to Spain. We would arrange courier collection from you, this costs £24.00 We would courier back to you using Fedex FREE OF CHARGE. Turn round time is 4 weeks (because of the cellulose) from the time we receive it. I would really appreciate your opinions on this one as I have never had such work done to my guitars. Thanks guys!
  9. No pain, no gain! Think of it this way, you don't need a gym membership, the average membership is £20 a month, times that by 12 months - £240, there's some tubes, maintainance sorted ... I have to justify it some how!
  10. I need to get her to write up my appraisal! Uber cheese.
  11. I'd have this back in a flash if I could justify having both an AD200 and an SVT. It's still under warranty until March (ish).
  12. Hi All, In short, I've got some things to pay for and as usual one one my bass related things are going up for sale. Here we have my recently acquired Sansamp RBI. I'm pretty sure most people know what this is, pretty much the rack-mountable version of the BDDI but with dedicated mid control and XLR level. Its got a bit of rack rash but other than that is in great condition. Looking for £150 + P&P which is exactly what I paid for it. Bank transfer or cash on collection please. Here some pics:

  14. Forgot to add, will re string before collection/delivery, just tell me your preference.
  15. Hello, Up for sale is my Epiphone G400 SG. It's in relatively good condition, there's a few knocks (pictured) but it still looks great, the paint job is nice and glossy. Its had the tuners replaced by the previous owner which are of much better quality than the stock ones. There are some screw holes as pictured due to the replacement. This guitar was made on 2000 at the Unsung Plant, Korea. The cheapest I have been able to find the guitar new online is £249 at Andertons for the new Chinese equivalent Here's the usual manufacturers bumpf! A Gibson-authorized version of their great '62 SG, with solid mahogany body and slim taper mahogany neck. Separate volume and tone controls for each of the high-output humbuckers give you complete control of your sound. The deep double cutaway lets you reach all 22 frets with ease. Features: Pickups: 2 Alnico V Humbuckers Hardware: Chrome Scale Length: 24.75" Nut Width: 1.68" Neck: Set Neck Material: Mahogany Fretboard / Inlay: Rosewood / Trapezoid Body Material: Mahogany Looking for £115 collected. I will post at the buyers cost.
