  1. I bought my LH Fender Jazz online from them and got terrific support. I had opted for their Plek service and they were were very patient with my many requests including stringing the bass with my preferred strings to ensure the Plex process was as accurate as possible.
  2. I can't help with the shim material but for the pickups I took mine out and put extra foam underneath to help maintain the pressure when resting my thumb on them.
  3. I've always followed the Fender setup guide for my jazz bass. It is very helpful and does a good job of optimising the playability of the bass. https://support.fender.com/en-us/knowledgebase/article/KA-01903
  4. I had a similar experience with my AM 2 Pro and changed the bridge to a Babicz. I detest the Fender bridges.
  5. Both of the Will Sargeant memoirs are cracking reads. Lots of details of life in a band and the music biz. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Bunnyman-Memoir-Sunday-Times-bestseller-ebook/dp/B091DSXXKL/ref=sr_1_2?crid=U514H12ZR6G9&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.yELRZaZDFrz_6bIWMHk_wD-ADSPznVVt9rcGAAwMFVGf-TJY5L-Li3ZKhP4PZbQC.JuxBp0cV9a31O3eq0Xmw7M5AU7VLLHntKToIwsx2yRk&dib_tag=se&keywords=will+sargent+bunnymen+a+memoir&qid=1705055251&sprefix=will+sargent+bu%2Caps%2C87&sr=8-2 https://www.amazon.co.uk/Echoes-memoir-continued-ebook/dp/B0C5HJM49X/ref=sr_1_1?crid=U514H12ZR6G9&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.yELRZaZDFrz_6bIWMHk_wD-ADSPznVVt9rcGAAwMFVGf-TJY5L-Li3ZKhP4PZbQC.JuxBp0cV9a31O3eq0Xmw7M5AU7VLLHntKToIwsx2yRk&dib_tag=se&keywords=will+sargent+bunnymen+a+memoir&qid=1705055268&sprefix=will+sargent+bu%2Caps%2C87&sr=8-1
  6. Tom bought my Eich cab cover and freed me of the long-standing embarrassment of having bought a cover for a cab I didn't buy. I'm delighted it has finally found a home. Friendly comms and fast payment. I couldn't have asked for more.
  7. How is it? I've been lusting after one of these for months.
  8. Final price drop to £950 before I send it to a well-known bass dealer to sell.
  9. ACG Recurve 5 String - Price drop to £950 £1,100 including UK Delivery before I send to a well-knows bass dealer to sell. The bass that's so good I bought it twice. I was the first owner so it was built to my spec. I sold it as I couldn't get on with the filter preamp but always regretted selling it. I bought it back and, you guessed, I still couldn't get on with the preamp. So here it is up for sale. Comes with Hiscox hard case. In very good condition with only one mark I can find. There is a light graze at the lower strap button which I've show in the photos below. Details and more pics on the ACG website here: https://acguitars.co.uk/project/0424recurve-5-34lh/ Tryouts welcome in Glasgow. Body Wood: Swamp Ash Top: Flame Black ART Maple Accent: Wenge Body Finish: Satin Lacquer Neck Wood: 5 piece Maple/Wenge Finger Board: Acrylic Impregnate Birdseye Maple Scale: 34 Neck Finish: Satin Lacquer Pickups: ACG FB neck ACG RFB with coil switching bridge Hardware: ACG/Hipshot Bridge; Gotoh Resolite tuners, Dunlop Straplocks, Preamp: ACG DFM 5K/AP Weight 8lb 6oz
  10. Genzler Magellan 350 - £280 delivered in UK Bought from here last month and selling for slightly less that I paid for it and including UK delivery for an easy sale. In very good condition apart from one scratch to the paint on the bottom panel so not visible when in use. Full specs on the Genzler website: https://www.genzleramplification.com/shop/magellan-350/#specifications Potential buyers are welcome to try it out in Glasgow.
  11. For One Moment - Lee Hazlewood. All of Lee's songs appear to be very simple on the surface but are all masterpieces of songwriting and arrangement. The bass part is very straightforward but requires attention to note length and timing. For One Moment - Lee Hazlewood - Bass.pdf
  12. Jezzaboy popped in to collect a pedal he'd bought from me and was a welcome distraction from my Saturday afternoon chores. It was a pleasure to discuss all things bass fact to face which is something I rarely get the chance to do. Bonus points scored as he is playing in one of my favourite bars in January so I will get a change to go see him and his band play live. Cheers!
  13. Girls Talk - Dave Edmunds. This is a cracking song with a few tricky variations. This is in no way intended to be an accurate transcription, it's simply my interpretation. Girls Talk - Dave Edmunds - Bass.pdf
  14. EICH Cover for 210XS/115XS - £40 Delivered in UK Never used. The package is unopened as I went with a different cab but had foolishly already ordered the cover. Full details here: https://www.eich-amps.com/c-210xs115xs
  15. Sadowsky SBP-2 Preamp V2 - £50 Including UK Delivery. In very good condition. I can't find the box but it will be well packaged for delivery.
  16. As a massive Beatles fan my expectations were low. Insipid with little discernible Beatles character. Plays like a rejected outtake from John's Double Fantasy album.
  17. The Tony Grey course is very good.
  18. Could be the strings hitting the frets. Is your action too low or possibly your truss rod does not have enough relief. I only suggest this as I had an identical problem recently.
  19. Goldfinger - John Barry. One of the film composing greats. Every note is a masterclass in taste. Goldfinger - John Barry - Bass.pdf
