Bucket Head

[quote name='willyf87' post='1003604' date='Oct 28 2010, 12:20 PM']Right, this was my first bass ended up stripping it down a while ago cos I was thinking about doing something with it. Now decided that its taking up space therefore I'm gonna give it away!! At the moment it is completely broken down, i do have all the bits as well some are a bit rusty but all are useable, may need to get wire for the electronics but I would personally re do those. The tuners, bridge, pickup, pots, neck plate, nut I think somewhere are avaliable the scratch plate I binned because it was ruined. You could literally put this back together again, maybe minus a few screws that are more than likely lost. Cosmetically speaking the body is pretty good, few dents in the back but no real paint scuffs, the neck i started to sand down, therefore there is no logo on the headstock or lacquer, the back of the neck is still untouched, the frets still have a bit of life in them, maybe a quick stoning might do them some good and a good clean! This would be pretty good for a project!! Collection would be much prefered but i could hopefully arrange some sort of box postage would be around £10.99 parcel force wise. Oh yeah I have a couple of crappy pics just cant get them on the work computer. Will post when I get home!![/quote] if no one wants to collect i would take it off your hands dude that would be radddddddddddd ddd ddd im down near brighton dunno where that is to u but yea would be awsome cheers dude ill give u a pm as well

[quote name='Delberthot' post='976079' date='Oct 3 2010, 03:53 PM']its just slightly over 56mm at the widest point. a standard Fender heel is about 64mm[/quote] the gap is very sligtly over 5.5cm which is grim, but not much mod to fix it i guess wudnt be to hard, is there any decent places to get those necks from? also wud a epi one be just as thin u rec?

[quote name='Delberthot' post='975940' date='Oct 3 2010, 01:26 PM']Thunderbird necks are a lot narrower at the heel than Fenders and the like. There's a seller in th US sells Epi parts. Pm me the width and I'll measure my thunderbird if you like[/quote] cool yea ill give it a measure and give u a pm dude cheers i recon that might look rad actually cool, and yea if i change the pickups ill give u a pm about selling them or what ever but yea thanks for letting my know guys much appreciation

ill just put a guitar neck on and put some heavy strings on and tune to a and play some sludge. thanks for the help, such a wealth of knowledge on here its unbelevable

ah ha thats it nice one then as if im ever gonna find a neck for it

hi there, i recently bought this body which was advertised as a bass les paul style body from the 60's/70s (im sure its probly not). the guy said it might be gibson but he didnt have any idea as he found it in a loft which i guess means its not. anyway i got it the other day and after looking at it, it seems to small to be a bass body and also the neck slot seems very small in width. so im wondering if maybe its a guitar body? or maybe les paul basses have very thin necks. also the bridge suggests that it is a bass but i really dont know wether to try and find a neck or just turn it into a guitar. so yea any help wud be great ;D cheers guys

[quote name='umph' post='939924' date='Aug 30 2010, 12:52 PM']woah those are cool looking pedals! i'd love to have a go with them. Sounds like its ust the jack that needs retensioning, if you send it to me i'll do it for postage cost since it's only a 5min job and i really wanna have a go with one of these now haha.[/quote] ha yea its a great pedal but unfortunately the jack as actually fallen apart while i was trying to tighten it up which is why i now cant do it myself and im not sure where to get a part or even if the parts are common and cheap. do u know anything about that umph? heres some pics of the inside and some picks of what i have broken ect heres the part (jack) thats broken and heres what broke off the inside part of the jack hope anyone can help and cheers umph for the help so far; )

hi guys, so my fav pedal broke recently when the input jack was very loose and the jack lead didnt fit, cutting out the signal. i asked a few people bout it and they adviced me just to open it up myself and try to fix it saying it would probly be easy, so i have tried to do and now have made things worse and have broken the input off. this is gonna be too much for me to repair as i dont really know what im doing and i dont want things to go rong as its a rare pedal and i wudnt want to not be able to use it anymore. The pedal is a ELEKTRONIKA distortion/phaser i think its also called a jet-fazer, from the 70's. its a great sounding pedal. anyway im just wondering if anyone knows where i might be able to send it to get repaired at all? any companys that do that kind of thing and how much it might cost. any advice wud be rad cheers heres a few pics if anyone wants to see it or if it helps (before it broke)
