    Pairs

    Update on pairs on the stairs New (to me) White BB414 Soloking’s from Andertons recent blow out.
  2. I’ve got one of these - I had to repair the neck after an over enthusiastic 2 year old used it as a trampoline. still sounds very good.
  3. Yeah, shoved some skinny rounds on it as I hate roto flats.
  4. Them’s for these
  5. A little muted
  6. Found it…
  7. There’s an ointment for that
  8. Would be lovely mate, bass account back to £0 after the recent purchase
  9. Well… I love 51’/tele basses. Had a very nice custom shop “sting” and have had a MIJ reissue at some point. Saw this on a facebook page and just went for it. Thanks to @walshyfor doing the middleman bit. So spec is Fender neck - stripped, nitro refin guitarbuild ash body, nitro BSB fralin pickup Gotoh reverse machineheads bakelite pickguard bakelite saddles etc some posh pots and capacitors etc. Fender covers all slot-head screws as per early 51’s needs some tweaks to suit, but it’s ace. slightly heavy at 10.5lbs…but it’s a resonant chunk.
  10. Perfectly serviceable basses mate; you’d spend £100 on a knackered squier
  11. You got any spare strings? I had a guy buy a Jackson Soloist from my shop years ago and I chased this buzz for about 2 days. i took the strings off to inspect/level the frets… the string had a kink in it.
  12. Righto - good news Earlpilanz (Brian) has messaged me and the pickguard is a “category 2” size - I paid for category 3 - so I got some money back. fair play to him for being up front; again why I use him frequently. he has mine - so if you want one doing, it’s the time.
  13. Yeah - he’s sort of on and off, he’s plenty busy. email him now - mine got posted off today, happy for him to template from mine
  14. I remember well, damn fine bass.
  15. No - they didn’t reply, so I’ve just ordered via an eBay pickguard guy I’ve used before.
  16. They’ve grown on me. I might feel differently when the pickguards are changed. i have a drawer full of controls…maybe jazz style knobs will work.
  17. Pickguards being ordered tonight. just think that SoloKing will charge £25-£30 plus waiting for a few weeks and possible import. Brian Pilanz will do great work so he’s sorting me and @Machinesout with my pickguard going as a template. Going aged white Pearl for LPB and aged tort for black. tried chrome knobs on last night - they don’t look right…
  18. What number is he? 🙄😆
  19. Looks exactly like my old one 🤦🏻‍♂️
  20. Hmm. Listed for…not necessarily selling for.
  21. Weren’t TB basses being listed at £10k a while ago? Or was that just the weird Flying V (without the V cut out) guitars?
