  1. Do Fender look at their own specs? I've seen a few things out of the box (guitar and bass) that have needed a slight tweaking. As @thodrik says, a few catalysts to consider, if you've got a lighter/heavier gauge than what Fender use as a standard could make a big difference. Set up for whatever is comfortable for yourself and as long as it all works well, it's a job well done.
  2. Damn! That's a beauty of a bass! Not your conventional looking bass but I dig it and specs wise sound delicious (something about Tesco Finest? 🤤) would love to see a video and/or sound clips.
  3. Some hydrogen peroxide should make your scratch plate sparkle white again, you'll find it online cheap enough and an aluminium baking tray from Asda to pop it in. I'd leave it out of the way of where it could spill/tip over, from sunlight and definitely away from children/pets. Should only be a few pounds to do, that and some nail varnish will cosmetically do the trick. The J pickup shouldn't be too hard to resolve. If it's not an issue with the knobs or wiring, then a replacement J pickup is never too much to replace these days. http://www.entwistlepickups.com/pickup.php?puid=JBX
  4. @AndyTravis might know a thing or two here. If anyone was to know, he's the man 👍🏻
  5. I guess you wouldn't know what to do with a Ritter other than admire it for being white and having gold shiny bits 😂
  6. Lovely bass, wish I had the cash spare but got 3 basses on the way already 😅 Maybe someone from the Yamaha thread will drop by and take it GLWTS
  7. Does seem rather odd to order from all that way, away and Bass Direct aren't the cheapest of all places either. I'd be tempted to stick the stickers back on, pop it back in the case and send it back for a refund. 👍🏻
  8. I have a lot in my junk mail but still a few bleed through to my inbox, I keep reporting spam but it's a stinky poo mail server anyway.
  9. I was watching Joe Lycet on C4 last night with his new show, well worth a watch to stay vigilant of spam and fraudsters. Good shout though. By any chance, are you using .live.com .live.co.uk Hotmail.com. .hotmail.co.uk ? I'm forever getting spam from Paypal, HSBC and a few other companies but never an ounce of spam on my Google mail.
  10. 9 basses.... 1 Westfield P (my first bass) 1 Fender MIM P - customised 4 Yamaha BBs 3 Yamaha Attitude basses
  11. Best white and gold bass I've seen 😍 how much did this fetch you?
  12. Wait, how much are you guys making?! Too late for me to audition? 😂
  13. My £0.04 Attitude 3. Tbf.... I thought the guys at Back Alley Music wouldn't have noticed it and sent it my way regardless 😂
  14. Ah sorry guys, was pretty sure that was a limited edition SS a few years back too but hey ho.... Looks like the Rascal and Mustang are back on the menu 😂🙈
  15. Top end ~£1200 depending on various details
  16. Always good to tug your knob if it gets too much 😂 ...I'll get my coat.
  17. Agreed but then it depends if you're looking to spend over £2k or just find a quality 6 string production model for a decent price. I'd either go Yamaha, Dingwall or Sandberg or check out the second hand market for a bargain. Is one chunky truss rod better than two though?
  18. @jahfish @martthebass https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F372631429860 First one to it 😜
  19. Shiiit, knew these basses have been slightly modified since, at least with tuners, necks (frets?), and more crazy colours. But at least a grand more?! 🙈
