    A couple of links with a bit more info (but not much!): - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extended-range_bass - http://bassguitarrocks.com/5-string-bass-guitar-basics

    [quote name='Clarky' timestamp='1324252901' post='1472350'] I recommend Status Hot Wire half-rounds [/quote] +1 have these on my P, very smooth playing strings in tone and feel but also have a bit of attack when needed

    Something like this? http://www.rapidonline.com/Cables-Connectors/3-Pole-Switched-Jack-Socket-20-1432/

    Er this might help..! http://www.stratcat.biz/268-699.shtml

    Gareth, this page suggets the metric M3 is the correct saddle screw for an import Strat. I don't know whether the screws are the same on an import P but it's probably a good pointer.

    If the trussrod is maxed one suggestion that often comes up is to remove the adjusting nut and add a suitably sized washer(s). This should provide a few more turns of neck straightening adjustment. Stewmac also offer a truss rod rescue kit which might be worth looking at - http://www.stewmac.com/shop/Tools/Special_tools_for_Truss_rods/Truss_Rod_Rescue_Kit.html

    Here's another link from BC - [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/119957-wood-filler-for-neck-screw-holes/page__p__1101080__hl__dowel__fromsearch__1#entry1101080"]http://basschat.co.uk/topic/119957-wood-filler-for-neck-screw-holes[/url]

    Filling the old holes with wooden dowel rod of a suitable diameter seems to be the recommended method [url="http://www.thegearpage.net/board/showthread.php?t=545881"]http://www.thegearpage.net/board/showthread.php?t=545881[/url]

    [quote name='noelk27' timestamp='1323824095' post='1467589'] If the D and G strings are quiet then what you need is more mass in those strings or less mass in the E and A strings. [/quote] +1 if you haven't done so already it might be worth trying something like Ernie Ball Slinkies which have a slightly heavier G and D string (eg 50/70/85/105 or 45/65/80/100). Or buy a couple of sets with different gauges and mix and match your own hybrid set.

    It can certainly be done - [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/57742-sold-musicman-stingray-5-fretless-ebony-board"]http://basschat.co.uk/topic/57742-sold-musicman-stingray-5-fretless-ebony-board[/url] This one was done by John Diggins (Jaydee guitars)

    I had really great service from a chap at Proel last year who sent me a circuit diagram and instructions on how to change the effects loop of my LMIII from parallel to series. It may be worth dropping him a line and asking if he can give you an update on the status of your amp repair ([email="[email protected]"][email protected][/email]).

    And also sold Anth an EMG pickup, another quick and friendly deal. Thanks again!

    I've used Stig Fasteners in the past for replacement saddle screws but you need to know the thread specs: [url="http://www.a2stainless.co.uk/Socket-Setscrews-Grub-Screws_B22S2C.aspx"]http://www.a2stainless.co.uk/Socket-Setscrews-Grub-Screws_B22S2C.aspx[/url]

    I have three unused sets of Picato long-scale nickel roundwound 40-60-75-95 in original packaging (clear plastic pack). I've been using Picato for several years now and very happy with them. These light gauge sets are just surplus to requirements. Good quality strings at a very reasonable recession busting price: £6.50 for one set or £17.50 for all three sets including delivery (UK only) Paypal accepted, please PM if interested [attachment=94548:P1040128.jpg]

    Bidding now up to £260 (22 bids) with three days to go so beyond my budget for taking an idle punt. I wonder if any of them know what they might be buying aside from a bit of serious retro cool!

    Buyer pulled out at last minute. Gareth I've messaged but not heard back, please PM if you're still interested. Otherwise these are still available. Cheers, Ian

    Thanks for all the feedback, particularly throwoff and observer for Defil and Cheesyguitars. From the machine heads it does indeed look like a Defil which would tie in with where it's being sold from (Poland). Listing of Defil guitars from cheesy here for anyone who's interested - [url="http://www.cheesyguitars.com/guitars_poland.html"]http://www.cheesyguitars.com/guitars_poland.html[/url]. This one is the coolest by far IMO. All I need now is a Thunderbirds tribute band

    Unusual retro fretless currently listed on ebay as 'unknown' ... I'm curious and a bit tempted [attachment=93764:unknown bass 3.jpg]

    These are exceptional pickups. They deliver a stronger fundamental than conventional pups and the unique mid-range tone setup provides much wider control of the sound than just a conventional tone pot. These are the V2JLH (linear humbucker) version as shown here - [url="http://www.villex.com/pickups.html"]http://www.villex.com/pickups.html[/url] Includes standard jazz bell plate with stacked vol/vol, mid-range sweep and passive tone. I had them installed on a Squier VMJ fretless where they added a whole new dimension to the sound. I sold the VJM earlier this year hence the sale of these. I bought them in Feb 2010 from BCer TPJ, original post here - [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/77908-sold-villex-jazz-bass-pickups-sold/"]http://basschat.co.u...s-pickups-sold/[/url] Price £75 delivered (UK only) My feedback - [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/79357-feedback-for-ikay"]http://basschat.co.u...edback-for-ikay[/url] [attachment=93673:P1040114.jpg]
