Silky's costs are obviously without the luither taking it apart, reassembling it afterwards and doing a set up. Which are all additional costings.

Best go to a car garage that does panel painting, it'll be as good, maybe better, and cheaper.

Look on YouTube, Luca posts a lot of his work with sound samples, lots of lovely 51' style basses.

Looks great. Some clay dots would had been the proverbial icing... and complimented the colours.

There's a CV which is also 32inch.

Yes, and what Mr Hook called the worst bass he's ever played. Not much of an endorsement.

Yamaha's are Yamaha's no matter where they are made. It will be a well made bass regardless.

Darkglass is all you need.

Totally agree. I saw a 51 style which I'm convinced is a Harley Benton PB50 with some mods, and they added the Retrovibe decal. A bit naughty if they did.

Nice

You know dhl have a maximum size limit of 120cm. So unless your parcel was under this size, it may be being held as its incurred additional costs.

What have you ordered?

These are great basses, I had a 51 style p which fantastic, great feel and sound. Also owned Limelights before, and both on par in terms of relicing etc.

Nice, I had the same PJ bass a little while ago, albeit, I don't recall it having Duncan Designed pickups.

Which, the white or amber? I've a sunburst sonic P with laural or whatever the faux rosewood is, instead of standard maple, with gold anodised vintera pickguard. Looks great, sounds really good with flats. Really like the narrow neck, nice and fast.

That looks like the work of a certain fleabay seller!! 🤣

Shame, you're sadly deluded. I'm not pretending to be anything. Your puerile comment above tells me everything your comments (plural) says about you. Your ignorance and stupidly not to recognise YOUR own mistakes and lack of understanding of context, clearly sums you up. The fact you apparently have an ignore list perfectly informs me of the type of person you are. Deluded.

Your ignorance is outstanding. Its not MY diagram, its one which backs up my advice is correct. It's not confusing to a beginner, it makes more sense then throwing around words like clockwise or anticlockwise. I've been setting up basses for almost 30 years, and I know using clockwise etc is the right terminology. However, we're not giving advice to someone with knowledge of what they're doing. Your ignorance to not comprehend the context of the OP and being a beginner with no knowledge what clockwise etc actually means, and apply appropriate language is both sad and disappointing. People like you shouldn't confuse the matter and cause this thread to become a mess. As I say, your ignorance is sad, period. Best you don't convolute further threads like this as you clearly don't understand context.

A mess??? Simple directions. Left to right is as simple as it gets. Clockwise or anticlockwise is more confusing because looking at the bass or headstock face-on, as per the diagram has no meaning., especially to a beginner. Essentially. You have convoluted this thread making it difficult to follow, as you're saying NO, to my directions, which you then agree are correct. The mess is being caused by you, not understanding your left from right.

OK, so I've added a diagram to spell it out as simple as possible... 1, facing the bass 2, turn left (E tuner side) to right (G tuner side on an ibanez) to loosen truss rod. Same a diagram below...

Nope, the truss rod is headstock end on the op ibanez, so my directions are correct to loosen the tension. If you were looking at the truss rod from the opposite direction, i.e. looking from headstock end down the neck to the body it'll be turning in opposite direction.
