Just remembered I didn't leave you any feedback for the [url="http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m252/jon_kemo/1984%20BC%20Rich%20NJ%20Eagle/P1010102.jpg"]1984 BC Rich Eagle [/url]you sold me in May! Top guy, couldn't ask for more really. Would buy from him again without hesitation. Thanks Alex.

Not keen on the body shape personally but if their guitars are anything to go by it should play and sound alright.

[quote name='RandomBass' timestamp='1351153724' post='1847885'] That doesn't look at all bad to me. What's the deal with the tuners? The picture shows two missing, and only one tuning ear on the remaining two. Are all four tuners complete and present? I will need these. Cheers Geoff [/quote] Ahh sorry Geoff, I didn't realise you needed those, the necks purely available because I stole lots of hardware from the bass for another one. So basically, no tuners. Chris.

[quote name='RandomBass' timestamp='1351083588' post='1847077'] Hiya, yes sounds interesting. Couple of questions though... Does this model have a painted headstock? If so, what colour? What is the mm width of the heel of the neck (where the screws join it to the body)? And what are the centres between the fixing holes in the neck? Should be pretty standard but just need to make sure If you could PM some pictures, would be great thanks. Cheers Geoff [/quote] Hi again Geoff, The headstock is painted, it's a very dark metallic grey, sort of a gunmetal colour (as per the pic!) The heel width is 60mm across and 29mm deep including the fretboard. The distance between the screw holes measure 38mm in the width and 52mm in the height. There are a few dings around the edge of the headstock and some light thumbnail marks in the back of the neck, I've tried to photograph them the best I can. They don't effect the playability at all though and there's no fret wear whatsoever.

Hi Geoff, I have a Squier Jazz neck (38mm nut, [s]21[/s] 20 frets) from a [url="http://www.dv247.com/assets/products/40756_l.jpg"]deluxe precision special[/url] availible if you're still looking for something. Straight as an arrow and fast to play. Would be about £35 shipped. Let me know if you're interested, I can send you some pictures and more details. Chris.

[quote name='buff' timestamp='1344816055' post='1769729'] double checked it, still looks like a jag, but made by this guy [url="http://www.dubreuille-guitar.com/bass.html"]http://www.dubreuill...r.com/bass.html[/url] [/quote] Wow, the [b][i]jazz [/i][/b]on that site looks sleek!

[quote name='buff' timestamp='1344814425' post='1769702'] Squier humbuckered jaguar with extra pick up ? [/quote] Looked like some kind of non-reverse thunderbird to me, didn't really get a good glimpse though. They never give the bassist enough camera time, they didn't allow the bass solo!

Nice grain on that.

Willie Nelson's cover of Coldplay's 'The Scientist'. i don't like the original but Nelson's is fantastic. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v525UGbA448

Black Sabbath's Snowblind - very melodic!

I usually just read the columns that interest me in the shop. The woman in WHS isn't too fond of me.

Lovely, would prefer a different pickup to the mudbucker though.

That 'drum kit' is hilarious.

Not the Bass Cellar on Denmark street! Try out The Gallery in Camden instead.

Maybe there is maybe there is isn't. If you love playing it how it is then don't listen to him. Keep on rockin'!

Worst: Bass Cellar. Horrible place. Disgraceful customer service. They give bassists a bad name. Best: Second hand from BC users

Least favourite? Perhaps somebody like Vic Wooten. No doubt he can run rings round most of us, his music is just not my cup of tea. Great work ethic and philosophy though. [quote name='Skol303' timestamp='1339549710' post='1690509'] Richard Hammond [/quote] Hey man, that clip of him and Al Murray on Top Gear was tasty!

A bassist friend I know says he has one as armour plating for his pickup! At a rough show he was playing somebody launched a bottle at him and it bounced off his guard. Pretty neat anecdote I thought.
