[quote name='GuyR' timestamp='1487061755' post='3236565'] I don't like marmite, but I've never thought it worth starting a thread about. [/quote] How can you not like Marmite?!?!

[quote name='Lw.' timestamp='1487056811' post='3236536'] I've played on a few recently & the necks have been incredible - the comfiest I've ever played. The other benefit is it stops you being precious about little knocks & dings - those of us in heavier bands know how easy it is for other people to scratch your gear when playing! [/quote] This would be the main benefit IMO. The aging on the back of the neck is the most important thing. I generally only buy secondhand as I prefer not having to worry too much about the instrument, and I do worry about it with pristine brand new instruments. That said, I'd much prefer a "light relic" with a thin skin to a heavy relic - just enough to be secondhand.

It's not a difficult mod but you're better off upping your budget to £200 IMO

[quote name='mark76' timestamp='1486921660' post='3235544'] Just had a thought (several hours ago). Why not buy another P-bass like the one I have, a J-bass bridge pick up and some other bits, and turn that into a PJ? [/quote] Adds cost, assuming your aim is to keep that down.

Glad you're all right mate!!

P/Js look wrong to me, although I'm sure they're more versatile. I really wish Sadowsky would bring a Metro P back out again. I can't bring myself to spend that sort of money on a P/J, or double in to get an NYC just because there's no Metro version ):

Do these have a nitro finish?

[quote name='therealting' timestamp='1486077286' post='3229156'] NBD means New Bass Day, usually posted when the poster has received a new bass. Unlikely that they'll want to sell it on the day they received it. ... well, there are one or people on this forum who might 😁 [/quote] [quote name='MoJo' timestamp='1486141206' post='3229617'] Karlfer might (I'm off before he sees this. I'm already on a yellow card) [/quote] Well I wasn't going to name any names 😉

Looks great. Late 60s logo though? Does Mark do finish checking as part of his relic process?

There was a thread about these recently. http://basschat.co.uk/topic/298163-hb-fan-fret-singlecut-5er/page__fromsearch__1

I believe the Scott Devine model has a flat board.
