    If you have a look on eBay you'll see that some of the J control plates for sale have a dimensional drawing in the blurb. You could find a few, take a few mesurments and make a card template of the one thats closest to yours, then, if it's the same you could buy it. A friend of mine also had the same complaint as you on his CV J and he replaced it with a black one off eBay, usually they are available in chrome, black & gold colour so you will probably be ok on eBay, hope this is some help.

    I have this fretless and I have Elixir 45/105 coated strings on mine, expensive but last ages, seem to be kind to the fretboard too. Sound good IMO.

    hi there, I was thinking about changing the pick up covers on a precision copy i'm fixing up, so, do the covers just come off once you take the screws out, does the pick up and pole pieces stay in place? The bass sounds pretty good so I don't want to wreck the pick up, also what colour p/up cover would look best on a sunburst body with mint green plate, R/W neck? I was thinking of white or ivory colour p/up cover. thanks for any opinions/advice. Nick.

    Played the basic standard model at a shop recently, was impressed, nice bass for less than £200, not the sig model but same specs I believe.

    [quote name='arsenic' timestamp='1316524346' post='1379142'] If you look at the search bar/button at the top of the page - the text changes from "Forums" on the homepage to "This Forum" when you have entetred one of the sub forums and "This Topic" when you enter a thread [/quote] thanks for that Buddy, just couldn't see it, cheers, Nick

    Probably me being stupid, but where is the search facility that was at the bottom of the page on each forum?

    [quote name='dave_bass5' timestamp='1316429608' post='1377825'] Did you get hold of one? If not you can borrow one of mine. I have two CV's but neither have the HM bridge on them any more so i dont really need the Allen keys unless i sell the bridges. [/quote] Another question for you, sorry, what bridge did you replace it with, did you have to plug/re-drill, how easy was it to fit? I realise the screw holes aren't standard distance to each other. I like the hi-mass bridge (looks/sound) but prefer standard string spacing as my other basses are 19mm. Thanks.

    [quote name='munkonthehill' post='1360362' date='Sep 2 2011, 08:25 PM']As you have asked buddy im sure this isnt breaching forum rules. But as the head is going for 415 brand new I think you may want to rethink your asking price. But again I am only saying as you asked for input.[/quote] Yeah thats what I was thinking, last week it was on offer at Soundslive (i think) for £379 posted. As it was said input was req.

    Probably a dumb question but, I've never been sure if fiesta red is or was a colour option in it's own right or a darker other red that had faded with age. Maybe someone will tell me.

    [quote name='KevB' post='1343137' date='Aug 17 2011, 02:12 PM']'Money' is quite fun to play though isn't it? I suppoose we should respect Waters for not writing overly complicated bass lines just because he was the bass player but sticking to the golden rule of creating what was right for the song.[/quote] I wholeheartedly agree with this, well put that man...

    Hi there, I used to get this mag but then was short of money for a time so stopped getting it. I just noticed the July 2011 issue 68 has Glenn Hughes on the front, he is one of my heroes, so I thought I would buy this issue. Anyhow, living in the sticks no newsagent in the two town's near me sell it anymore. It is on the BGM website as the current issue but how long has issue 68 been out? as its August now? If I don't manage to get a copy, does any member throw their copy away after reading it? If so, I would pay if anyone could post me a copy. Thanks, Nick
