If you were unlucky enough to get Araldite into the t-nut thread you may be able to clear it (carefully) using the correct size thread tap.

I am that bass player, bought a P bass new 1977 (student grants were amazing things). It was good if somewhat weighty. Just bought a Cort Action Junior s/h £100. With the benefit of 50 years of bass manufacturing improvement and my changing perspectives I am just amazed how good it is. It will be gigged as no1. There are many outstanding basses in the marketplace, at some point I will also have to offload mine (some good, some interesting and some tat) as age marches on. I have had the fun from them, the potential financial 'loss' due to marketplace slowness is not that great averaged over time. I have even give some kit away to 'worthy' recipients and my sense of relief was most welcome.

And closely following @JPJ , a close up image.

Bought a Hercules stand from John. Sadly the aircraft had sold the day before but the stand is very nice. Great communication, rapid arrival, excellent all round!

Stating the obvious and borrowing a song title, careful with that spindle sander @Beedster. Ferocious beast, all too easy to convert vast amounts of wood into sawdust :).

My tactic on these is G clamp them into the hole, making the hole as tight as possible. If you could start again, speaker chassis would have better clamping arrangement(s)....

@Dad3353 A good night out makes it all worthwhile. Sound quality is most impressive.

Chowny swb-1, ebony board, dots in the correct place, no dot at first fret position. Took me ages to find one then it appeared on bc £300 iirc. Another good option is the Warwick Corvette, ebony board, dots at 1,3 5,7 etc. My ash bodied one is very light weight, a pleasure to play. One went on ebay last week £500 ish from memory. You may be searching for a long time.

Bought a Schaller bridge from @Fionn. Excellent communications, very rapid arrival and really, really well packed. Top BCer, deal with confidence. Thanks.

Much good advice in the above posts One thing I have found is the need to sometimes adjust the treble side height depending on what the situation the bass is being used for. A balanced string to string setup for recording may require changing for live 'war' volume playing. Obviously this all depends on the bass and kit you are playing through and what you want to achieve.

I would go for the small notch at the ends of the nut (in the same way that frets are cut for a bound neck). Fiddly but less chance of serious damage when trying to slot the binding. More skilled (than me) operators may have other solutions. Quickly looking at jazz bass necks, they seem to be done like yours.

Inadvertently (stupidly) I consented to some cookies on another website whilst using non Adblocked device. The subsequent deluge of adverts and flooding of my email spam box were clearly related. Wasted some time unsubscribing from shi*e unwanted email ads. My fuss is about personal privacy and my data. Who knows what social media manipulation may follow from the organisations. Through choice the only social media I use is bc.

Mobile Android, I have installed the Adblock plus browser on my devices. Problems no longer apparent. Probably available for IOS as well.

I have now installed the Adblock plus browser on all of my Android mobile devices (my laptop and desktop were already setup with this). No popups or other tracking nonsense. I will happily subscribe if this will prevent excessive trackers). How many subscribers at what price to render ezoic not worthwhile? Apparently they pay 40 - 60 USD per 1000 views.

I am enlightened, just need to determine how to remove the menu entry.

As an added bonus (not) note the extra takeover that has appeared in Chrome. working on a fix

Poor web scripting! However by installing Adblock Plus and using the block element feature I have stopped the b*****d thing appearing.

Adblocking browser shows me 222 trackers and a similar number of ads blocked on bc now.

Prevarication is a generous assessment. It is design to negate any user choice.

As per @binky_bass "What do our yearly subscriptions need to be in order for Basschat to not need to partner with the devil?" If subscribing can prevent this I will subscribe (as I stated in a post sometime ago). However the situation is still unknown.
