  1. Yep, I'd be fostered off alright and demanding my money back straight away from the retailer - their responsibility to deliver safe - they have failed.
  2. Here's one I made earlier, after thinking it couln't work! This works, but the housing won't fit on in one piece, (it could be butchered!) As said already, remembering to switch it off is the thing ๐Ÿ˜Š
  3. No it's not possible as far as I can see because the switching is done on the socket inside the guitar, if there's a plug in - it's on!
  4. All the best Blue, take it easy and come back strong ๐Ÿ‘
  5. Many many moons ago, my dear old Gran re-married a geyzer from Norfolk, he had one of them too! Always knew him as Lord Bacon-Phillips, but no idea if that was anywhere near right ๐Ÿคฃ but can remember travelling in style in it some times. Also - later in my younger days, we rented our garage to a lovely old chap around the corner, he also had a Armstrong Sidley, which he kept in the garage, occasionaly taking me for a ride, remember washing it with him.I must have been about 10 or 11, he taught me to play Chess 'properly' too!
  6. There's only one for my 1951 P-bass, (even if it's a Jap RI) ๐Ÿ˜Ž 1951 Chevy pick up truck, yellow of course ๐Ÿ‘
  7. Switching both pick-ups into series gives a boost in mids and output, the actual sound change depends on what pick-ups are used. Parllel is of course normal Jazz bass mode. Cheerz, John
  8. If they're 1/4" shafts I have a range of knobs to fit - what are you looking for?

  10. @glassmoon I have a set of knobs for you sitting here, do you still want them? Cheerz, John
  11. Stock in 1 - 2 weeks any good? https://www.thomann.de/gb/search_dir.html?sw=dimarzio+model+p&smcs=0f9bdd_8455
  12. It's all about the beard ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  13. In '73 I went up to that London to get myself some new gear ๐Ÿ˜Ž I had recently aquired a new shiny plastic thing called Barclaycard and it was burning a hole in my pocket โ˜บ๏ธ After trying every Rickobasher in town and being incredibly p1553ed off with them, I fell in love with a beautiful blonde Gherson Jazz, had to have it! Then - trying it through a HiWatt 100 and a cab I can't remmember - I wanted more of everything, grunt, heft, trouser flapping wind, etc.etc. The sales guy said 'hang on a minute' and rushed out of the shop, returning shortly with a monster Orange cab, on a trolley, standing 5 foot high and 2 foot wide and about the same weight as HMS Ark Royal, concealing 2 x 18" massive cones. It sounded wonderful, fulfilling all my dreams, to be the envy of every other bass player, (in Bexhill at least!). It was 'perfect', fitted in the back of my Mk1 Cortina estate with amp and bass just right! 2 weeks later I was back in town buying another HiWatt 100 to push even more air through it ๐Ÿ˜ฎ Those really were the good ol' days, then in '75 I got married, '76 it all came to a bitter end, I had to give up gigging, she couldn't stand the lifestyle of a bass playing rock 'n roll hero, you've heard it all before ๐Ÿคฉ
  14. You're dead right, all these parts are becoming harder to find here and yes, I have everything in stock ๐Ÿ˜Š
  15. Lovely ๐Ÿ‘ I realy wanted one a few years back, but - - -
  16. Hendrix for me too, maybe it's age related, saw him a few times live, long before anybody had even heard of Prince ๐Ÿ˜Ž Playing 1983 a merman I should turn to be just a few minutes ago ๐ŸŽธ
  17. A impuse buy I have to admit, as soon as the advert came up I grabbed the necks, a good start to a new project. A pleasure to deal with, very easy transaction and very pleased with them, arrived today. Cheerz, John
